Very disappointing finale.
1. Throwing your pouch should **always** be conducted outside with a fire pit.
2. Romesh should not have been allowed his James Blunt rant when he was merely saying 'play on' or 'stop'. This influenced the outcome as it so enraged Blunt.
3. People tell me James Acaster is a hilarious comedian but he was so dull on this show.
4. James Blunt comes up with cutting, witty one line put downs on Twitter but he's just an posh officer from Sandringham who wrote that infuriating song. Very opioniated but wrong 90% of the time.
5. Romesh was amusing, honest, quite perceptive and deserved to jointly win.

I love the fact that a Canadian is loving a UK reality game show. Enjoy the final episode tonight !

What is the source for the 'panic attack'? I'm sorry but I'm a little more cynical. The traitors were going to win hands down. The Faithfulls identified all three traitors as 'most trusted'. I strongly suspect the producers exerted pressure on that one traitor to confess his sins to, at least, inject some interest and jeopardy into the final climatic episode.

This is often followed 10 mins later by another context-less quote. For example:
> 'I see she was baking cakes yesterday at a homeless charity in London'
And, of course, now she's referring to Catherine, Princess of Wales (not Janet).

Agreed. I could just simply post some of my wife's quotes. She sits on her laptop and phone and blurts out completely context-less words. Obviously, it makes sense to her and it irritates her that I don't immediately grok WTF she is referring to. For example,
> 'Janet said the man hasn't been yet despite her calling twice...'

Thanks. I dare not risk it then

I'm curious to try this. Can I simply plugin your LF binary and preserver my existing setup or does it use a different database structure?

Never used a Quote ever until now. I see what you mean about resembling '55'. Worse, when I actually used it reminded me of the Fascist 'SS' symbol. They might want to change that to something resembling a 'Quote'.

Still trying to use the tags.pub service for discovery using #LittleFedi.
I can't follow individual tags (stuck on 'Follow Requested') so tried to configure the relay as described in https://tags.pub/
```
$ littlefedi -config littlefedi.toml admin relay enable --actor "https://tags.pub/user/_____relay_____"
2026/10/12 13:39:25 INFO instance actor signing self-check passed keyID=https://yakshaving.social/users/yakshaving.social#main-key
Error: relay "https://tags.pub/user/_____relay_____" not found
```
Any ideas ? @npub1764…nuj0 @npub1ef5…gcpc

Yes. I got used to copying an image in the clipboard and quickly pasting it on the Mastodon Web interface. Now I have to navigate to 'Screenshots' which is more work.

Fantastic. I was wanting to make 'Markdown' the default when composing a post in #LittleFedi and this is already an option in 'Settings - Posting'. Hurrah !

I'm no stranger to self hosting Fediverse/ActivityPub applications.
Crikey, I ran Laconica back in 2009 when @npub1764…nuj0 still had a moustache.
I have also hosted GotoSocial and Pleroma. Never took the step to get Mastodon running (seemed too heavyweight, complex and intimidating).
However, I can't emphasis how different #LittleFedi is for a **normal**, **non-technical** user who has some spare hosting capacity available and just wants to install, configure a Fediverse presence and then forget about it.
Which seems precisely the design aim of LittleFedi and this quote from @npub1ef5…gcpc really resonated with me.
