    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@fosstodon.org - for providing accurate, high quality data, without which FediMeteo would be far less useful@grunfink@comam.es - creator of snac, who made all of this possible using very few resources, on a 4 euro per month VMFreeBSD, 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 effortFediFollows - @FediFollows@social.growyourown.services - that periodically spreads the word about cities, countries, and the enthusiasm around the projectAll of you, who suggested, encouraged, corrected, and celebrated this projectAnd forward toward supporting more countries and other interesting features already in the works.Happy birthday, FediMeteo! 🎉#FediMeteo #HappyBirthday #Meteo #Weather #FreeBSD #snac #snac2 #OpenMeteo #Fediverse

    This morning I converted two setups from "jail in jail" back to jail on VM. They worked well enough, but the advantages probably didn’t justify the changes needed to upgrade to FreeBSD 15.0, so for now they’re back in VMs. Still, I’m keeping everything ready and I’m not ruling anything out. In the end, it’s just a matter of a ZFS send and receive.#RunBSD #FreeBSD #ZFS

    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
