Oh hiiii thats me, just doing routine tree inspection, need to know how nap-able the trees are.

In all seriousness, thats a gray fox (Urocyon Cinereoargenteus), with one of their kits from this year. I could only wish to see one one day, as they only exist in north america (and spilled a tiny bit into south america). It’s not entirely clear, but the ears look quite short, so most likely some eastern gray fox, these are the tree climbers. Western ones have larger ears as they live more in desert like areas to help with heat dissipation, and being able to hear small insects.

Unlike any other canine, gray foxes got somewhat rotatable wrists, and retractable claws. This allows them to grip onto trees very well, kinda like cats. So they’ll happily climb trees vertically, see https://findafox.net/post/view/1131?search=gray_fox+climbing

And of course, what does one do in a tree? Take a “comfy” nap

Even though they are named foxes, genetically they are not related to red foxes (vulpes vulpes), instead being its own genus, which is even older than vulpes.

And of course, they’ll do no harm, only bring cuteness :3

Can agree on avoiding ml as well

But how about just creating a new community on sh.itjust.works, blahaj.zone or pawb.social for all that matters? In my eyes they got good rep. Im happy to moderate said community

True, can just keep it simple and descriptive, ill try to remember to post more :3

I would be in favor of moving the community to a different instance than .world, .sdf.org is definitely an option with the [email protected] community already there, though as much as i like the running joke of the foxnews being actual fox news, it is kinda confusing possibly for someone that just wants to find a community centered around foxes, so creating a new community called [email protected] or foxes@… would be in my favor

Thanks for the ping! Indeed didnt get it from the post, but did from this comment

Hi :3

I’m active here, just not much to moderate since not much gets posted. When I initially moved to Lemmy, I had an account on .world, and didnt find any fox communities so created it myself. Then got the idea of setting up a bot to upload hourly from my personal fox picture collection, but that never happened. Now not a fan of having it on .world because of it defeating decentralization, but its already kinda established.

Nowadays I never post because I can’t come up with a title, even though having plenty of images to post…

Also alot of time spent working on my own website, https://findafox.net/ on which there are plenty of pics :3

So it will be the latter, as it will run nextcloud, a couple websites i have, a pihole and possible game servers when the need comes again. For the websites i plan on using the mass storage as a backup to the sites’ data, so the actual running files will stay on the ssd running the os, currently considering proxmox actually.

for nextcloud i am not sure, since i use it to sync, and ‘backup’ (i know its not meant as a backup program), so it would need lots of random r/w, but it cant fit on the os ssd as that would get too large, currently only have a 250gb ssd on hand for the os.

Id love to get ssds instead of mass storage hdds, but theyre simply 3 times as expensive for the same storage which is out of budget for me.

That actually sounds really smart, but can that cause issues with the raid controller, since the drives will act slightly differently?

These all seem to be 7200rpm drives, would 5400rpm drives make a large difference in terms of longevity relative to that? Also seeing mixed results from seagate there, first they mention there being 0 failures of a couple seagate models, but then later in the graph of annualized failures, seagate in general has the highest failure rate
