@mms this is one of the BSD Cafe problems:
- great friends come in
- we promote self hosting
- they start self-hosting
- the Cafe loses one "user"
But the good thing is: once you're part of the BSD Cafe, no matter what your handle is, you'll always be a "friend of the bar."
@Ketakater it's because nobody in your instance is following the city. Just start following it and the weather forecats/current conditions will come during the next cycle (every 6 hours).
As you can see, they're up-to-date: https://de.fedimeteo.com/stuttgart
@js Oh, I see you're describing my usual day 
@jhx I hope so. 7.8 didn't fully support it, but I see many changes so...let's try!
FediMeteo, timezones, and the art of not breaking what already works
From a simple Italian script to managing 1200+ US cities, timezones, and a secret-leaking crisis. How I completely rebuilt the FediMeteo backend without breaking the Unix-style infrastructure around it.

@Tionisla @pkotrcka_1 whoa. Here it will peak tomorrow with 34°C and I'll be out for some meetings since the late morning...
@rotnroll666 I like summer, but this isn't "our" summer anymore...
It’s been a tropical night. In May.
@jae @darth the answer is...of course I did! And I loved it.
I had other Nokia phones: a 5110, 7110 (I still have it), 6630 (I still have it and the first phone I could use with a mobile connection - still have it), 7650 (still have it) and others I can't remember at the moment.
Oh, I also had a 1100. It was a work phone that I kept for some months.
@darth ahaha this is funny! 
@dch the problem is when I do something that LLMs love to do. And then I am accused of producing slop.
There are three options:
1) I’m an LLM
2) I am a terrible writer
3) I’m so good that LLMs decided to emulate me
@pertho which relay?
@df I love this idea and the software. I'm a great supporter of #snac exactly for the same reason. You don't need beefy hardware to have your own Fediverse home.
Starling is a nice because it can be used without setting up a proper server - just a php installation and a domain.
I'll keep this testing instance on and continue to test it with MastoBlaster.
Green green grass...
@df One thing I've noticed: the web interface is quite cool, but it doesn't allow to filter out replies and/or boosts.
On MastoBlaster I've implemented it, but it doesn't seem to work with Starling, at least for replies (I haven't tested with boosts). Maybe it's not marking the messages as replies?
Otherwise, impressive work! It's fast and efficient. I like it!
@df Ok, I just tried the new commit and it works! Thank you for the prompt fix. I can confirm it works on a FreeBSD jail. I'll perform some tests now.
@df I'm trying to run it. I've been able to perform the /install procedure but, when finishing, it gives an "Internal server error".
I can go to the login page but, after logging in, same error.

Any ideas? Thanks!
@tubsta I bought two Raspberry PI 4 8GB Ram for 60 euro, years ago. That price is insane.
You can have a refurbished, proper server for that price.
