@liamvhogan The car is not the place for albums as the artist intended. It's the place for five home made cds worth of your favourite "mix tape" songs, labelled with a texta, that you can subject your passengers to whenever the opportunity arises to teach them a little bit about who you are

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)

@timrichards I once did 10 days overseas with only what fits inside a small duffle bag, and it still sometimes comes up in conversation with people I know as if I performed some sort of miracle.

Long ago I switched to only ever travelling with one small bag after I had a bad experience with an airline leaving my checked luggage behind in my departure city. Had to borrow clothes and buy a new toothbrush at my destination, etc. Never again. If it doesn't fit in carry-on, it doesn't need to come with me.

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.
