  • Thanks that looks like the most attainable way for now. But I would like to have more data in there, such as season temperature trend, 10th and 90th percentile historical values and min/max temperature records, to give context to the data. Also have precipitation. Be able to zoom in and out of the data to get more find grain minute-by-minute, or see the last 5 years at once, and be able to move the “X” position in time, so that I could watch the data, at the minute level, but from 4 years ago. Also I would hope to see the 7 day temperature prediction line

    Like this, where the yellow line represents “now” and to the right is predictions


  • This looks good, although I’m not a fan that it says “non-commercial use” To me that means, we reserve the right to alter the deal. Also it seems to get it’s data from a private company, rather than my local government weather office and their public API, whatever it might be ?

    Also, this says it is an API. So would I need to code up an entire web front end to display the data like I would like … ?

    I presume, there is some application which can display data of this API ? Are any, like the style I am after ?

    I see that it has the historical data so that’s great, maybe I could have the min/maximum recorded temperatures as part of my single temperature view thing, at least, it could do it !

    I see there is a 10000 API request limit, so I don’t know if that’s going to work at all. If I just scroll back in time, I imagine it would bust this 10000 request cap very quickly ?

    But that does sound like the most promising meteo self-hosted option.

    It’s kind of weird we’ve got maps, mail, notes but not weather ?

    There are so many people making their own weather stations but it seems here there has not really been someone self-hosting their own weather dashboard !

    Maybe it’s a new frontier of selfhosting !










  • All firefox really needed to be once google took over everything, was to be a viable alternative and find a way to metabolize all this cash in a way that doesn’t damage google’s own cash machine or threaten it’s actual dominance.

    For google the pitance they give firefox is a very cheap insurance policy against against anti-trust legislation. Just like Intel with AMD, this shows how toothless the liberal anti-trust legislation are, even if they were really being enforced, they cannot handle a token 2nd player. It cannot handle controlled opposition if it’s credible and believable. So an actual thriving ecosystem doesn’t need to exist, we just get duopolies instead of monopolies but in practices we get ducked up the cloaca just the same.









  • Money has no intrinsic value, it’s a dynamic relation between all other humans who would accept it. Even a gold bar will vary in what it can really buy based on the health of the society around you. And that’s just transaction, which is not where wealth is. Land and physical property, and the ability to leverage their use is the mediator of wealth. The people without, will never ever be on a level playing field. How can you be born owing your life to infinite rent and interest and think you’re on a level playing field ? You reach for this utopia, thinking this time you’ll be the one collecting ? This time you can be the landlord without having to pay taxes. But at the end of the day, if the people around you are miserable, are you better off ?

    And all of that is assuming it even would work as advertised, which it won’t, nobody is waiting 10 minute to clear a payment.

    This technology is a scam sold by the people trying to shit-up everything so that they can get their best pick out of the rubble.
