So apparently my Neopets are still around, despite my not having visted the site in *ages*...

Heck, why not. And, just in case you want a quick link to as much of a ref as I have: www.furaffinity.net/view/860768/

The app and the website seem about the same, preview gets cropped pretty hard but clicking or tapping to view the image brings the full image up

Huh, showed up in its entirety for me in the feed on deck.blue, had to check and indeed the preview gets cropped on BlueSky proper

I'd like to see you continuing to have fun with your art, regardless of what you're working on, even if a particular piece is being a bit challenging.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,015,274!

I also plan to get back to doing backups of my drives' contents more frequently, on a schedule, rather than just whenever I think about it, that should save time and will mean my backed-up data will be more recent in the event of another catastrophic drive failure.

I have no idea when, why or how the minimum processor state got set to 0% so I don't know if it's been set that low for quite a while and only just recently the system started not liking it, or if it somehow got changed just this recently by something, but regardless, changing it sorted that out.

The second issue... The system was automatically restarting (per a Windows setting) when it was locking up when the processor state went too low, the fact it was locking up discovered by turning off that setting, the cause of the lock-up discovered by setting the minumum processor state above 0%.

The first issue ended up not being too significant in the end, since most of what was lost was Steam game installs and updates to that drive since my last backup, and restoring the backup and reinstalling/updating everything on a new replacement went smoothly.

Then, after removing the drive after it had well and truly died, my PC decided to randomly start rebooting itself for what seemed like no reason while I wasn't really doing very much with it but watching videos on YouTube.

Oh boy the issues I've had with my PC the last few days... First, one of my SSDs decided to up and die on me, and like a fool I didn't take it putting itself into read-only mode seriously enough and do a backup while it was still readable, causing me to lose a few months worth of data...

Does this look like a match?

Then again, I have a lot of other external storage drives going unused, might be a better idea to offload some older bulkier data I don't really need immediate access to to that to free up space and thus reduce the backup capacity required.

Either that, or I might consider getting a second, separate drive to expand my backup capacity rather than forcing it all onto one drive.

Y'know, I never would have expected that I'd find myself needing to consider upgrading my backup storage to a higher capacity after I replaced my 2TB external drive with a 6TB external drive, yet here we are...

So apparently there's a TweetDeck-like app for BlueSky called deck.blue, gonna give it a try since I rather liked TweetDeck for Twitter back in the day.

Quick first impressions though, very familiar interface, so I think I'm gonna like it.

Profile updated and people I've followed on Twitter/X who I could find here are followed. Now to get properly settled in and perhaps start growing my follows list here.

Maybe also mention to anyone following me over there that I'm over here now, in case any of them are here.

Well, I'm here, now to hunt down all the people I follow on Twitter/X that I can find and follow them here as well.

Also need to finish setting up my profile but I can get to that later
