I know it's not that fast in these fibre to the home days, but for me, living in the countryside, it's quite an upgrade!

prima pioggia seria della stagione, 10mm in 2h. profumo di eucalipto 🙂

Yesterday I wrote about a nice, small and cheap weather station that uploads the data to Weather Underground (among other clouds). Today I discover that Wunderground (powered by IBM) is a total mess, like temperature changes like crazy while you zoom on a station on their Wundermap, or my station is reported as OFFLINE and ONLINE in two different panels. The Schroedinger's Cloud. Well since IBM is so deep into the Quantum Computing scam...

So, I found a way to catch the data locally and to send them to a local InfluxDB or anything you like as data storage.

Fuck the cloud, again, I guess?

wow, 10 minutes to set up!

Just trying a new small weather station that I'm planning to install in front of the sea on the south west coast of Sardinia. It seems well constructed (ok, it's not a Davis, but it costs as just the Davis' solar screen alone...), very easily configurable, it sends the data to Weather Underground or locally to yout server IP through WIFI. The only evident issue is the absence of the spikes to repel birds from the rain gauge... I'll have to improvise some DIY solution.

stamattina tornavamo dalle compere del sabato, ci ferma il mio vicino, che ha un terreno adiacente al nostro, e mostra felice e orgoglioso il motocarro stracolmo d'uva dopo la vendemmia. gli faccio, è andata bene quest'anno eh? e lui, custu esti su terzu carrigu, parriada ca no ci ndi fiada...

quasi le nove,
ventitrè gradi,
maestrale che rinforza,
motoseghe miste al vento,
sole in faccia a babordo,
quando l'albero oscilla

One of the most linked articles on Roger Federer on the day he decided to retire.

When David Foster Wallace decided to retire, it was a much uglier day, but we've been really lucky to be alive along with them.

5 years old tech

my Pixel got a shattered glass, thinking of fixing it, then discovered that a good used one costs the same.

now I'm on my wife's old phone, a Samsung A3 2017. enjoying it so far after removing all samsung/google/facebook/microsoft shit.
