!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I've looked into this before, and it really depends on the type of RFID they use. Older versions have been cracked, but newer ones can't be copied over (easily or at all).
If your company is serious about security, you will not be able to put the content of the card on your phone. What newer, more secure versions of RFID do is receive a code from the reader system, replies to it internally, and then sends back the answer. Even if you try to copy this over, you will not be able to open the doors of your facility.
I think the first step should be to use one of these apps that can read RFID and see what protocol your card uses. If it's an unsecure one (i.e., only pushes out a code and checks it in their database that it's yours), you could probably try to copy it over. However, if it's not, you could also just dissolve the card with some acetone and place the resulting wires in your phone's case, near the bottom. Like that, it shouldn't interfere with your phone's NFC, as that one is usually next to the top area of your phone.
I'll reply here also to @ratumoko@kbin.social - the building security is a joke. The company rents some offices in these share-space buildings. And there is no real security beyond that (OK, fine, also some cameras). I suspect that they use this system just to keep costumers happy, feeling like there is some security system in place. I'll try the RFID ring and see if it works.
But my "real" question here is how come I didn't find any app/instruction for making my phone itself an RFID keycard. As I type this I realize that this might be due to needing a specific frequency that the phone cannot produce(?)
That's the technology they use: https://nfc-tools.github.io/resources/standards/iso14443A/
My company sells systems like this. It depends on the system manufacturer and reader type. Bluetooth/mobile credentials might be available. I've never seen a system use a phone as RFID, but they do operate on the same frequency
