Dawn this morning, Jan 10th, from Buck Hill!
My first time making it up the hill for sunrise this year. The sky was pretty clear when I left my house this morning, with a last quarter moon and some stars visible through some wisps of cloud. However, clouds were rolling in quickly from the southwest, enough so that the sun was not visible by the time of actual sunrise. These shots are all more east and north of the point of sunrise, as there was still some color and clear skies in those directions.

If you need to get somewhere with air conditioning for a while, and can't deal with sitting in a shopping centre—check your local library!
Most libraries have air conditioning, don't mind if you bring snacks and drinks in (please be careful), have books, games and toys for kids, and spaces to sit and read and soak up that a/c.
You don't even have to have a library card (but of you want one, they're usually free to join!)
Libraries are amazing places.

The fog crept in on little cat feet,
Looked around at this grey, grey day in Michigan,
And coughed up a hairball.
Ugh, what a grey, rainy, foggy January day.

Ok, the real #question. What about a #homelab in a #garage? It is a separate building with not very tight gates. I'm not worrying about the summer, but in winter it could be cold. Like -10 C outside, and I think it would be the same for the inside of the garage.
And what about the humidity? It is a dry place until it isn't raining. I mean, the roof is fine, but the outside humidity gets inside really fast through the gaps between the gate and the wall.

I've been looking at the temperatures currently forecast for this coming week. I thought it was going to be hot enough here in Ballarat peaking at 39℃ but it seems that it's going to be much warmer elsewhere with Mildura peaking at 46℃, Wodonga at 45℃, and Broken Hill at 43℃.
46℃ being 115℉ on the older scale. That's the sort of temperature that'll knock out older power distribution networks - just when people want to run air conditioning to cope.
Pleasant Sunday, rain chances return mid-week
Tomorrow, temperatures will return to the 70s with a mix of clouds and sunshine. Winds will be light from the south.--- Meteorologist Tommy House

There's a dusting of snow on narrowboat roofs, and a thin layer of ice on the water. The sun is doing its best to brighten things up, and to power the solar panels.
Everyone's staying warm: the solid-fuel burner (wood stove), diesel heater, electric radiator, and simple pillar candle all have their role to play.

Exactly one year ago, on 30th December 2024, I laid the foundation of FediMeteo.
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.
Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm was incredible. That pushed me to keep going, support more countries and cities, and turn it into what it is today.
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.
If you are curious to read the story and some technical details, you can find it here:
https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/
Today is also Tuesday, a #ThankYouTuesday, so I want to say thanks to:
* OpenMeteo - @openmeteo - for providing accurate, high quality data, without which FediMeteo would be far less useful
* @grunfink - creator of snac, who made all of this possible using very few resources, on a 4 euro per month VM
* 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
* FediFollows - @FediFollows - that periodically spreads the word about cities, countries, and the enthusiasm around the project
*All of you*, who suggested, encouraged, corrected, and celebrated this project
And forward toward supporting more countries and other interesting features already in the works.
Happy birthday, FediMeteo! 🎉
