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! đ

Thanks for FediMeteo, Stefano. I'm so used to it, I even can't remember my timeline without it any more.

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

@stefano small nitpick on the blog post.
I am getting a OVH IPv6 for fedimeteo.com and they are French not German.

@miyuru @openmeteo @grunfink @FediFollows look better đ
the vps *was* - now it's still a 4 euro per month vps, but another one at OVH (datacenter in Milano, Italy) -

The good news is that my new lead detection kit works. Yay?
The bad news is that I need new solder. Uh.

@micr0 @rdfrkian altbot is a great service, human generated alt text WOULD be better, but the fediverse from now on WILL be worse because shutting down altbot will result in having no description at all for the images, and not in having all altbot users starting magically to write alt texts for each and every post.

@mariosiniscalchi questa è una tua opinione che vale quanto quella di chi pensa che la guerra sia il frutto di una escalation. Questa opinione è condivisa anche da ucraini che hanno spiegato lâescalation in questo articolo scientifico:

@stefano_zan se non tiene le impostazioni del BIOS è un problema di batteria: a volte la batteria tampone è nascosta, a volte non ha la classica forma e non la riconosci, a volte il laptop non c'è l' ha e usa la sua batteria (che può essere morta).
