I suspect that the lens makes the whole solar assembly more directional and the Sun moves in the sky.

What was the stuff like this of 15 years ago ?

Oh that one looks nice ! thanks

Ok, well I see it’s not what I’m hoping for And by not this, I mean this

I am aware of self hosted “blogs” but that’s not what I want.

A better way to explain what I want is

This, but opensource and self-hosted

https://pastebinrichtext.com/

with per-file access control

It’s hard to tell if any of these are the thing I’m looking for or not.

I’m reading the grav page and I have no idea how this is.

Is this like this

Press a button
rich text editor appears
write stuff
press save
send link

That’s what I’m aiming for. I had a look, and the blog platform are so much clunkier and frustrating to use. And each of these seems to want to eat several of my weekends to install so I don’t have the luxury of reviewing all of them.

Well, I’m hoping someone has a better one, or at least can confirm that one of the things I listed isn’t actually a huge waste of time.

Yes, like that except not with a terrible interface that looks like the unholy union of vscode and vim.

I want something that is more akin to using microsoft word except it’s in the browser and not made by satan Something I can recomment to people and know they’re not going to come back to me and ask “what is a markdown code block”

Requiring client to runs client side code, if tolerated, will lead to the extinction of pure http clients. That in turn will enable to drm the whole web. I rather see it all burn.

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 !

Yes, by default they will all have to be. So if you want any internet, you will have to allow strangers to communicate to you. You will have to be not a savage about it. But you will also have to be able to block outright abuse. So IDS, IPban, dns blocking, anti fish proxy, client side certificate and “drop all” as the default firewall policy. And compared to nat4, you’ll be opening ports rather than forwarding them.

All this except ids is already standard issue in openwrt.

Well they’d have to cut c-suite and shareholder’s cut because everything else that could be squeezed out has already been squeezed out, so the c-suite and shareholder will convert their money into the political power it takes to just block out the competition.

The income stream would disappear, their operations would collapse and that would just be the end. There would not be another manufacturer that would flourish in the void left behind. Without the institutional know how and the existing structure, supply chain the current car manufacturing industry would never be able to restart if it ever stopped.

The social darwinism of the globalist free market is meant for crushing the spirit and bargaining power of individual workers, they are replaceable, disposable, interchangeable. General Motors and Ford aren’t.

Does the loopback broadcast address behave differently from any other of the loopback addresses?

IP range reputation

That this even exists, is another reason why we need to switch to ipv6. There will be no maintaining “reputation lists” for 340 trillion trillion trillion IP addresses

Yes grafana does seem like a good framework for building such a thing. But has anyone done it ? It is quite a lot to learn so I’m curious to see if someone has made one of these self-hosted meteo application already.

Ok, I had a look at windy, but it doesn’t seem possible to self-host Their github repo has a lot of stuff, but no web frontend https://github.com/orgs/windycom/

As for meteo.pl, they seem to use rrdtool to generate the graph, but like windy, they graphs are static, no scrolling or putting cursor on the graph to get exact values. Also, meteo.pl doesn’t seem to have any software repository ? It is just a private commercial website ? There doesn’t seem to be something to self-host ?
