snac

Some technical details for those interested:
The entire FediMeteo setup runs on a FreeBSD VM costing around 4 euros per month. It supports almost all major EU countries (plus the UK), with just a few left to complete. Currently, there are 25 separate jails, each running its own instance of snac, totaling 25 instances. The VM load typically stays around 10%, which increases to 30% when updates are published for countries with larger numbers of cities (currently Germany and Italy). The only time the load spikes is when new countries are announced; during that time, all remote instances connect to all cities to download their details.
As for RAM usage, excluding the ZFS cache, it's currently a total of 213 MB. Yes, MB.

Here we are! FediMeteo is landing in the American Continent!
The first Country covered is the USA - but Canada will follow shortly.

It’s already possible to follow US cities at this link: https://us.fedimeteo.com

The cities are listed alphabetically - I realize the list might not be very clear, but I’ll try to improve its readability in the coming days.

The format is: city_name__state so, for example, Washington D.C. will be: @washington__district_of_columbia

In the meantime, enjoy the forecasts!

Using #snac makes making bots a breeze. It’s a great tool!

I hate that it uses emoji for ui (what is a lock? What is a hand shake?), but outside of that it makes me appreciate fediverse more.

I can confirm that migrating from #Akkoma to #snac worked flawlessly.
I tried it last evening and it was failing but I think it was just a caching issue.

And now, let's start!
