Exactly one year ago, on 30th December 2024, I laid the foundation of FediMeteo.
I took a VM, installed FreeBSD, and set up the first jail to support Italy. The goal was to create a tool for my own use, support a few countries, and announce it.
Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm was incredible. That pushed me to keep going, support more countries and cities, and turn it into what it is today.
FediMeteo now supports 38 countries and 2,937 cities, with more than 7,700 followers in the Fediverse alone, not counting the many people who follow via RSS feeds or visit the web pages.
If you are curious to read the story and some technical details, you can find it here:
https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/Today is also Tuesday, a #ThankYouTuesday, so I want to say thanks to:
* OpenMeteo - @openmeteo - for providing accurate, high quality data, without which FediMeteo would be far less useful
* @grunfink - creator of snac, who made all of this possible using very few resources, on a 4 euro per month VM
* FreeBSD, which thanks to the efficiency of the OS and its jail implementation made it possible to run this service in a stable and efficient way with minimal effort
* FediFollows - @FediFollows - that periodically spreads the word about cities, countries, and the enthusiasm around the project
*All of you*, who suggested, encouraged, corrected, and celebrated this project
And forward toward supporting more countries and other interesting features already in the works.
Happy birthday, FediMeteo! ๐

@stefano @openmeteo @grunfink @FediFollows
Thank you so much, I love it!
There's a tiny translation mistake: in pt-br it says "granizo", meaning "hail", where I believe it should say "chuvisco", meaning "drizzle". I tried to figure out whether it comes from the API you use or your code, but wasn't able to.
If you can point me to the right place to report this, I'd be glad to!
Thanks again!

@danzin @openmeteo @grunfink @FediFollows thank you! It comes from the API, as it's code 77, which is hail

Thank you very much to you, Stefano. Your Fedimeteo service is a greatly valuable public service, and even if it was the only use of #snac out there, I would be fully satisfied.

@stefano @openmeteo @grunfink @FediFollows it was a very nice writeup -- if you solve a problem for yourself, there's good chance that others have similar itches.
I wonder what you called the host... I'd probably go with localized term for "world"... (because kernel VS world and because world has countries in jails).
I am getting weather updates from @oslo

I am getting a OVH IPv6 for fedimeteo.com and they are French not German.

the vps *was* - now it's still a 4 euro per month vps, but another one at OVH (datacenter in Milano, Italy) -
