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.
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.
