I held a baby squirrel today! ( lemmy.world )

Story time! We recently bought a rural property with a burnt down house on it and are going up every few weekends to clean it up. I'm up there this morning picking up random sheet metal and yeeting it into the trash pile. Suddenly I hear frantic squeaks....I look, and I accidentally yeeted the cover of a squirrel nest (I think...

It had a long worm-like tail. If it was smaller I would have thought mouse, but the leading theories are squirrel or mole.

El Dorado county in California, just north of Placerville, on a hill above the banks of the South fork of the American River.

I don't want to speculate as to the fate of the baby, the corrugated sheet metal had to be moved and it was only a few minutes after I had removed it that we heard the squeaking. Nature is gonna nature, either the squirrel will survive, or a predator will get an easy meal. The thing is, within the family, we will probably ask "is that the squirrel all grown up?" every time we see a squirrel up there for the next few years. I think that's the best outcome we can hope for.

Have watched TOS - Enterprise. Will watching Discovery-SNW increase my enjoyment of Lower Decks?

My partner and I have just binged TOS-Enterprise last year and we are starting Discovery today. I was just wondering if we can also start LD or will there still be jokes from Discovery (and the later shows) that we might miss out on? I have really bad FOMO anxiety and am worried there will be references in LD that we will miss...

I think discovery seasons 1 and 2 were fine and help as a precursor to snow which is great, but for sure skip discovery seasons 3 and 4

My cocker who passed away last year (at 15, lived a great life) was named Rygel! Dominar naturally!

Real world experience doing a P2V migration of a Linux server into Proxmox?

I have seen the documentation saying to build an empty VM with slightly more space for each volume than was on the physical server, then use clonezilla to create an image of the server, then import it. That seems ok, but I’m hoping someone out there has more real-world experience in doing this and can share if they did it...

A looking time ago I got 2 r710s for cheap. One was a test server which had Ubuntu server with a desktop environment on it (I was used to windows server administration) and the other was a headless Minecraft server. Both have about 200 gigs of RAM, but similar CPU configs. Every self hosting thing I tried went on the main server…DHCP, DNS, jellyfin, NextCloud, Apache, vaultWarden…it got out of hand. Even then, I used the desktop over x2go as a stable environment when moving between clients. We replaced the Minecraft server, then I converted that to proxmox, then peeled off services into smaller VMs in learning to use Ansible. Now every “server” is moved off and I basically want the underlying VM as a remote desktop. It isn’t precious per se, and it is backed up, but starting over would be a headache so I wanna take a real shot at P2V.
