<p>Exactly one year ago, on 30th December 2024, I laid the foundation of FediMeteo. </p><p>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.</p><p>Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm was incredible. That pushed me to keep going, support more countries and cities, and turn it into what it is today.</p><p>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.</p><p>If you are curious to read the story and some technical details, you can find it here:<br><a href="https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26</span><span class="invisible">/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/</span></a></p><p>Today is also Tuesday, a <a href="/tags/thankyoutuesday/" rel="tag">#ThankYouTuesday</a>, so I want to say thanks to:</p><p>* OpenMeteo - <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@openmeteo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>openmeteo</span></a></span> - for providing accurate, high quality data, without which FediMeteo would be far less useful</p><p>* <span class="h-card"><a href="https://comam.es/snac/grunfink" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>grunfink</span></a></span> - creator of snac, who made all of this possible using very few resources, on a 4 euro per month VM</p><p>* 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</p><p>* FediFollows - <span class="h-card"><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>FediFollows</span></a></span> - that periodically spreads the word about cities, countries, and the enthusiasm around the project</p><p>*All of you*, who suggested, encouraged, corrected, and celebrated this project</p><p>And forward toward supporting more countries and other interesting features already in the works.</p><p>Happy birthday, FediMeteo! 🎉</p><p><a href="/tags/fedimeteo/" rel="tag">#FediMeteo</a> <a href="/tags/happybirthday/" rel="tag">#HappyBirthday</a> <a href="/tags/meteo/" rel="tag">#Meteo</a> <a href="/tags/weather/" rel="tag">#Weather</a> <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="/tags/snac/" rel="tag">#snac</a> <a href="/tags/snac2/" rel="tag">#snac2</a> <a href="/tags/openmeteo/" rel="tag">#OpenMeteo</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a></p>
<p>Two Fediverse clients I like are Elk and Phanpy, but both had the same issue: the inability to filter "replies" and "boosts" from the timeline. For me this is essential. I can't keep up with my timeline, and if I also see replies to posts unrelated to what I follow, it just becomes chaos. So I tried to implement these filters and opened a PR.</p><p>The Elk developers have already merged it into the main branch, so we should soon see the two hide options appear in Elk. Hopefully the same will happen in Phanpy as well, because this greatly improves the experience on two excellent Fediverse tools, which are also compatible with snac.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/elk-zone/elk/pull/3482" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="github.com/elk-zone/elk/pull/3482"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/elk-zone/elk/pull/3</span><span class="invisible">482</span></a></p><p><a href="https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy/pull/1400" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="github.com/cheeaun/phanpy/pull/1400"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/cheeaun/phanpy/pull</span><span class="invisible">/1400</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/snac/" rel="tag">#snac</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/elk/" rel="tag">#elk</a> <a href="/tags/phanpy/" rel="tag">#phanpy</a></p>
