    Bug Fix: Wind Direction Arrows Now Correct!Thanks to user feedback, I've fixed a bug where wind arrows were pointing in the wrong direction.Previously, a 160° wind (from the south) showed an arrow pointing south ↓. Now it correctly shows ↑, pointing north where the wind is blowing to.Wind arrows now follow the intuitive convention: they point in the direction the wind is moving, not where it's coming from.Thanks to our community for catching this!#FediMeteo #BugFix #WeatherBot #FediMeteoUpdates

    Under the hood update!I’ve finally retired the old cron + sh setup for the weather bots. It served us well, but it had a major flaw: if I rebooted the server while it was posting, the job just died halfway. If the server was down during a scheduled slot, the forecast was lost forever.So, I wrote a custom Python daemon to run inside the FreeBSD Jails.It’s stateful now. If a crash happens at city 15 of 50, it resumes exactly there on reboot.If the server naps/is rebooting during a scheduled run, the bot realizes it missed a slot and runs immediately upon waking up.#FediMeteo #SysAdmin #Python #FreeBSD #Coding #SelfHosted #OwnYourData #StayTuned

    Hello, new #FediMeteo friends!As the great @FediFollows@social.growyourown.services posted about this service, many of you started following me and the cities. And I'm so glad about it!If you want to know something more about FediMeteo and its story (and how all this is still working on a 4 euro/month VPS powered by #FreeBSD), you can have a look here:FediMeteo: How a Tiny €4 FreeBSD VPS Became a Global Weather Service for Thousands - https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/
