Lives in Aus.

Makes noise with guitars.

I have a PC with these OS drives:
Gigabyte 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD (Win 10),
Intel 120GB Sata SSD (Debian)

Tonight, under Windows, was editing photos in DXO Photo Lab, and suddenly the screen froze, then changed to this blue screen.

After the PC restarted itself, the NVMe drive is missing from the bios interface and bios boot menu, and the Debian grub boot loader can't find Windows boot.

Rebooting into Debian, and using the file explorer there, the Windows drive doesn't appear.

I suspect an SSD failure, but is that the most likely thing?

Note: I would think if it was just a Windows corruption, I would still be able to see the drive exists from elsewhere (which it seems I can't)

Please keep inviting your disabled/chronically ill friends to things. We can't always come, but it means a lot to know we're still wanted.

My social circle has dwindled *dramatically* since I got sick, and the pandemic cut off 80% of what remained.

Even if I say no a lot it doesn't mean I never want to come. In fact, it means I want to see people more, when I'm able.

Some photos of the moon tonight, taken with a DSLR and a Telephoto Zoom. Cropped slightly (additional dark sky not necessary).

This scene was captured in Avignon (France). I felt the need to take it because of the way the daylight from outside was falling in the passage way.
I had noticed the whiskered local in the bottom corner, but it was the light and shadow that drew me.
The photo was taken using a Pentax K5 IIs camera and an FA 35mm prime lens, which originally gave me a wider shot than what I've posted.
As it happens, random passer by had walked into frame slightly, so later I decided to crop the person out in a post edit, forcing me to decide on a framing with a narrower field of view.
Cropping had the effect of making me realise the cat was the absolute star of the photo and I'm glad my curious friend was there on the day.

I got lucky with this photo; down at Mornington (Vic, Aus) beach with my Pentax K200D DSLR camera and a legacy 200mm telephoto prime lens. Not long after I took this, the camera batteries went flat and it started raining.

Hi all,
#Introduction post.  

I'm from #Victoria in #Australia.

I'm into #photography and shoot both #digital and #film, mostly of birds, flowers, nature and architecture, and mostly with #Pentax gear. I might get around to sharing some photos here.

I also play #guitar and #piano.
I like a lot of different kinds of music but due to parental influence, I lean a lot towards 60s/70s #rock and the #blues that inspired it.

I like eating #poachedeggs, #pizza, #paella and #aloogobi but rarely at the same time. I drink too much #coffee but who doesn't?

I've been known to participate in #archery, #karate, #capoeira, #pilates and #yoga, but I tend to dive in and out of these activities sporadically.

I'm usually fairly passive on social media, preferring to read what others have to contribute. I think I do this because it helps me understand what makes people tick, keeps my mind open to a variety of perspectives, and makes me aware of life experiences different from my own.

I left Twitter for Mastodon for similar reasons to many. Enjoying it so far but still trying to figure things out. 'tis a strange beast.
