One of the really cool things you can do with the ActivityPub plugin is select how content is federated. My last post only had the title, some images and a link, previously I was federating the entire post (let me know which you prefer by replying to this post from your fediverse instance). This post … Read more
Now my WordPress instance seems to be behaving I thought I would post about the 2 power supplies I purchased at a carboot sale this morning. A few months ago I was able to purchase a power supply tester from ‘new life’ a local charity shop that sells Amazon returns and overstocks. You may have … Read more
Alllriighhty Then.. Earlier today I made a short post after which @[email protected] attempted to follow the feed for my blog at https://journalctl.uk/feed/ at the same time or shortly near it my WordPress instance coincidentally decided to ‘fall over’ (aka die). I attempted several time to reboot and the same issue kept happening – the journal … Read more

While I feel comfortable around Linux, reading ‘man’ entries and troubleshooting issues, I am not too familiar with websites. I usually use flat-file apps and static websites, so WordPress and Apache stuff is pretty new to me, and more than a bit of an upward learning curve. I identified an issue with file uploads – … Read more
OK, I am not sure if this blog is federating outward. I cant see anything via my instance even though I follow it. I can (and have) published to the blog by re-blogging from @[email protected] This probably poorly worded post has been drafted directly from within WordPress to test federation via the ActivityPub plugin. If … Read more

Ok I have mostly gutted the case and cleaned it up.
I actually really like the case and my repurposed it for myself.
I am nor sure if I will rebuild it at this time, I may rehouse the parts in another case.
Pictures provided of the cleaned or rather cleaner case
Mmm just tested the power supply.
It was not good, the 12v rail gets 10.5v so not using that
The motherboard in this thing is an AsRock ‘P4I65G Prescott 800 Rev G/A 1.01’
The damage to the CPU fan is from my finger, my finger did not fair as well.
Ok there is a DVB-T TV card that has very little identifying features, dunno what this thing is…. beyond the obvious of course.
The graphics card card appears to be an AGP ATI a4-9200DDR-B2-ZH
Less exciting than the soundcard but still interesting
Ooohh, a nice find inside this thing
A soundblaster Audigy2 zs (pictured)
Ok, I managed to get to a Thursday Carboot sale as I am off until Monday.
Today’s find cost me £5
It is a multimedia machine branded “Carrera” its in a large desktop format Aluminium case by Coolermaster .
It was very dirty and while I was cleaning it with my air duster I managed to injure my finger and shatter a couple of fins of the CPU fan.. so that will need to be replaced.
The CPU appears to be a Pentium 4
Pre clean pictures attached, I will take more pictures as I clean it.
This is a test for things to come.
So I managed to mess up my old Blog (blog.x220.co.uk) Not just a little bit, I deleted its contents and my back up did not work, I will be trying to piece together what I can and may even re-post some of my content. If I do I will be sure it is clear that … Read more
