  • Yes and no

    I think there is definitely some confirmation bias here. If you are looking for evidence of climate change there is a high chance that any natural event will look like climate change. It might be something that only happens every century and it just looks like it could be climate change.

    With that being said, I do think climate change isn’t helping anything. I don’t like the politics around it as it turns it into something that is more of a identity thing than a logical thing. You either support or deny climate change based on political views not factual evidence. The mainstream news is not helping anything when they hyper focus on storms and other events.

    I think the most likely cause of this is that humans have artificially prevented wildfires for so long that the forest gets very dense. When that happens fires burn very hot and fast which completely wipes out entire areas. Ideally fires should happen periodically to help clean the forest and make way for new growth. Healthy well etablished trees will survive a normal periodic fire while diseased trees and parasites will die.

  • Start by creating a VM template in Proxmox. Male sure the template regenerates things like SSH host keys and machine-id on startup. Inside the template create a user with passwordless sudo and setup SSH public key authentication.

    One the host with the private key install Ansible in a python virtual environment.

    To execute this create a VM in proxmox, get its IP from the DHCP server and then add it to the hosts file for Ansible. From there you can use your playbooks.

    The automated way to do this would be to use the Ansible Proxmox collection to create the MAC of the VM and then use a different collection to fetch the IP and set it static. From there you could dynamically add it to the hosts file. This is hard and requires more Ansible knowledge.

    Another tool you could look into is pyinfra. Pyinfra has less of a learning curve since it is just python.
