It's the internet, people. It's OUR internet. Just because we decided to trust Google to not be evil doesn't mean that Google decides the future of the internet. We may very well have lost The Web, but we still can make the Internet of People. Decentralised. Unownable ;) Being here on the #Fediverse is part of that.

Announcing FediMeteo – Weather in the Fediverse!

UPDATE: I have created an account for updates and other information on FediMeteo - follow the account @admin to stay updated!

UPDATE: Ireland, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland have just been added

Weather has always influenced our lives: from agriculture to outdoor activities, to extreme events that, thanks to modern technology, can now be predicted with greater reliability. Personally, weather plays a significant role in my daily decisions, which is why I decided to create a service tailored for the Fediverse.

FediMeteo uses Open-Meteo data to publish updates every 6 hours, including current weather conditions, forecasts for the next 12 hours, and predictions for the upcoming days. Each country is served by its own dedicated instance (e.g., it.fedimeteo.com for Italy), managed through snac to ensure simplicity and efficiency in publishing.

You can follow FediMeteo directly in the Fediverse (on Mastodon and compatible platforms), via RSS, or by visiting the dedicated page for your city (e.g., fr.fedimeteo.com/paris).

Currently supported countries include:
Austria, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, – with many more regions coming soon!

FediMeteo is hosted on a FreeBSD-based VPS, with each country isolated in its own jail to ensure security and scalability.

Visit the main site to explore the national instances and start following your local weather updates today:

Happy weather monitoring to all! 🌦️

FediMeteo is dedicated to my grandfather, who every evening would give me the weather forecast based on TV, radio, and his personal experience. He would convince me that the weather would be bad, so he had an excuse to accompany me to school instead of me going alone.

La DevConf sarà un evento davvero interessante, ricco di interventi stimolanti.

Il programma prevede argomenti a tutto tondo, con una particolare attenzione al Fediverse e alle tecnologie di comunicazione libera.

Personalmente presenterò #FediMeteo, raccontando come è nato, perché, come è fatto, a chi è rivolto, alla libertà dietro il progetto stesso. E ad una truffa.

Stay tuned!

I'm dismantling a small Kubernetes cluster and converting everything into FreeBSD jails. From 3 VMs to 1 smaller one, better performance, easier maintenance.

Do we really need a truck to carry a single pizza?

Good morning, #Fediverse

It's raining. I'm at my desk, just doing the usual. So many things to catch up on.

It all feels a bit like a dream.

Hope you have a great day, too!

#GoodMorning

I sincerely love you weirdos. <3

A combination of two "X all the Ys!" memes with a "Pawn Stars best we can do" meme in the middle: "X all the Y" guy: I want an amazing community of noble-minded people to study ethics with and change the world!! Pawn Stars with the faces of the fediverse logo, the mastodon logo, and the logos for snac2 GoToSocial, and Honk in the background: Best we can do is a bunch of cool weirdos with similar nerdy interests "X all the Y" guy's reply: I'll take it!!!

Even on my darkest days (like the last couple, today is better), I find so many amazing things and cool people here on Mastodon. I just wanted to thank you all for that. You're all part of that. I love the fedi.

For how long have you been on the #Fediverse? Feel free to boost and quote and use the result after the poll has closed!

I don't mind what platform I use, I just want a way to discover like-minded people from all over the world, and it turns out the #fediverse is the platform that does this most efficiently.
