    @catavz true. That's why I hope more and more people will be interested and try the BSDs. They are great to learn, and a great way to make people more aware of what and how they're running.

    Ciao, FediMeteo!In the past few days FediMeteo seemed to be having some performance trouble. I dug into it and only found minor issues, until I realised the VM itself had fallen off a cliff. After several reboots it became clear that both bandwidth and I/O latency had dropped to absurd levels. I suspect the provider slapped a cap on it.So I took the chance to move everything to another VM and provider, still at 4 euro per month. And starting today, forecasts will be delivered straight from Italy. The performance jump feels like going from a storm to clear skies.FediMeteo’s mission goes on. More countries are coming (stay tuned!) and we will keep aiming to serve everything from a 4 euro VM. I do have powerful hardware available, but proving that the project can run on tiny resources is still part of the mission.#FediMeteo #FediMeteoAnnouncements #FediMeteoServices #VM #RunBSD #FreeBSD

    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
