Spent about 4 hours talking to Gemini to try to get a Proxmox samba share to work with my Mac. It's just going round in circles getting me to change the config over and over again. Still doesn't work.

This is so good. Someone has built an old MTV player. It just streams old MTV footage and videos 24/7. I still remember loving watching MTV in hotels in Germany when I was DJing over there in the 90s/2000s as we didn't have it at home. wantmymtv.vercel.app/player.html

The Stranger Things finale did the series justice IMHO. I might have shed a little tear or two at the end.

Locking in to watch the final episode of Stranger Things. Hopefully it’ll wrap it all up nicely and Steve and Dustin don’t die. 🤞🏻

It’s NYE. Both of our late teenage kids are away for the evening. I’m drinking a glass of red wine and cooking the dish I made for my wife on one of our first dates almost 25 years ago. Enjoy your evenings and Happy New Year! ❤️

In case anyone else is trying to watch Disney+ on a Fire Stick, it drops frames every 10 seconds and the video stutters. Thought it was our internet but it’s a known issue. www.reddit.com/r/firestick/comments…

This is a great episode of the Louis Theroux podcast with Jimmy Carr. I’m always fascinated by how other people work and hearing Jimmy talking about how he plans his shows and comedy is really interesting. pca.st/episode/77905825-0bbf-4990-9…

If you haven’t heard this Christmas classic mixtape then you really should enjoy it over the festive period. Lots of Christmas songs cut up with MF DOOM rapping. So good. youtu.be/EwzBjBHfDIs

Been trying to use conductor.build to run some Claude Code agents in the background while I write some documents. Seems pretty great so far and has a really nice UI/UX for creating PRs.

Notion and Linear are not working. Looks like Cloudflare may be having issues again. #HugOps to their team.

I bought a cheap ASUS DVD drive to rip some old DVDs for my media library. I’m just ripping one my old DJ mix CDs like I’m back in the early 2000s. 😂

Set up a @jellyfin.bsky.social server last night. Managed to get GPU transcoding working too. I can see how the homelab rabbit hole is going to make me buy a NAS next. 🙈

Marc Littlemore @marclittlemore.com · 15/11/2025

Finally bought a mini-PC to build a little homelab device. I know almost nothing about them so I’m looking forward to entering a world of Linux confusion. Currently installing Proxmox so let’s see what happens.

Busy sorting out my collection of house music to DJ at a company offsite. Forgot about all of the things you need to think about when using Rekordbox. I'm hoping I've formatted everything properly this time. 🤞

Marc Littlemore @marclittlemore.com · 01/11/2025

I’ve just watched Poor Things. I think I enjoyed it?! 🤨

Yes, I did buy gingerbread Kit Kats at the supermarket. No, I would not buy them again. 🤢

Fixed the RSS feed for my website notes this morning. @11ty.dev makes it super easy to do. Except I got caught out by caching. I must remember that dates are cached in JSON as strings. 🤦

I hate to say it but I wouldn't have been able to reset the MacBook without Claude. Both an IT company and Apple told me I wouldn't be able to unlock the machine without the recovery key. It saved the day.

Marc Littlemore @marclittlemore.com · 30/10/2025

I have an old MacBook which is stuck in mobile device management limbo. It's been removed from MDM and Apple Business Manager but nobody has a recovery key. Performing surgery to see if I can sort it.

I want to stay up and make my workflow support posting threaded messages but it’s late and I’m old. I’m going to have to write a blog post about this too. POSSE for the win.

Just added a build command to my Telegram @n8n.io workflow. I can now trigger a build and deploy of my @netlify.com site. 🚀

Ah so you have to add an embed object to make URLs unfurl via the Bluesky API. A bit annoying but I try it in my @n8n.io workflow.

I always love the Adam Buxton podcast. This new episode also mentions the comedian Phil Cool, a name I haven’t heard since the late 80s. My brother and I often quoted him. A very funny man with a very rubbery face. pca.st/episode/91569cdd-2bee-4a26-a…

This note was sent via Telegram and should now be syndicated to Bluesky and Mastodon. It'll also appear on my website but I only rebuild it a couple of times per day so it won't be immediate. Check marclittlemore.com/notes to see them.

On the train to Glasgow to see our son. He’s only been away for 4 weeks but it feels like a lifetime. Big hugs incoming for him. ❤️😭

I’m not really prepared to take my 18 year old son to university at the weekend. I know he’ll have a fantastic time and his independence will mean a lot. But this dad isn’t ready for his first-born to leave home yet. 😭

How the heck do you split up the oak planks in neal.fun/not-a-robot/ level 21? My son tells me we need to create sticks and split the diamonds but no idea how to do it. A brilliantly frustrating game!

I've just spent the past 2 hours trying to get Tailscale to work on my son's phone. A frustrating experience as logging in with his Apple account meant it created a user that could never log into my Tailnet. Lots of Reddit and GitHub rabbit holes and eventually using a different account. 0/10 fun.

Gary Barlow was in the year above and did O-Level music with my mate. Walked home with him a few times. Genuinely lovely bloke at school and he was a great performer.
