I'm writing the first in a series of articles that I will be publishing on IT Notes, hopefully starting as early as next week. And the first one will be a surprise for many 😉
Stay tuned!
Ok, the next article for IT Notes is ready. It’s not a guide and it will be a surprise for many.
I’ll publish it on Monday.
Stay tuned!
Under the hood update!
I’ve finally retired the old cron + sh setup for the weather bots. It served us well, but it had a major flaw: if I rebooted the server while it was posting, the job just died halfway. If the server was down during a scheduled slot, the forecast was lost forever.
So, I wrote a custom Python daemon to run inside the FreeBSD Jails.

It’s stateful now. If a crash happens at city 15 of 50, it resumes exactly there on reboot.
If the server naps/is rebooting during a scheduled run, the bot realizes it missed a slot and runs immediately upon waking up.
