Definitely spot on for network engineering.
At work, as an engineer, I have been able to find answers to obscure problems very quickly and easily via Kagi. To me that is easily worth spending $10 a month, rather than spending hours digging through junk on Google or DDG to find what I’m looking for (or never find it in some cases).
Why won’t you have it for another couple years?
Not really sure what your use case is here, but from a security perspective (and speaking as a network engineer), I would highly suggest you run a firewall/router on a separate device.
Any reason you don’t want to use something like OPNsense?
This mushroom recently popped up in my backyard, and also did around the same time last year. I am in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US.
Anyone able to help identify what this might be?
No problem, happy to help! Figured this might be the case, since I run into this situation a lot at work.
Are they Windows PCs? If so, Windows firewall blocks pings by default.
Lemmy think on it and get back to you.
