à paraître aujourd'hui : "Pourquoi il faut interdire CNews aux gens en âge de voter (et pas les réseaux sociaux aux moins de 15 ans)." #StayTuned
Last year at this time, I was at a nice venue, enjoying a big New Year's Eve dinner and listening to live music, waiting for 2025 to begin.
This year, though, we’re at home, peaceful and relaxed, waiting for my wife to recover her strength after a long bout of the flu.
The common thread? A year ago, I had just set up the 'FediMeteo bot' for automated updates (which, updated and improved, is still running today). And I was planning the announcement date.
This year, I’ve just finished two changes that will further improve the bot and the service.
They’ll go live tomorrow, and I’ll announce them officially! 🙂
I've currently removed the usa02.bsd.cafe (and set can01.bsd.cafe) from the media.bsd.cafe resolutions, as people reported its latency is higher even in the USA or other Southern Countries. I'll keep it there for some days, then I'll probably cease it.
Meanwhile, I'll perform some other setups/cachings in the coming days.
I'll make proper announcements (from the announcements account) as soon as things will be "stable".

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.
can01.bsd.cafe is coming soon....

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!
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!
The blog post is ready.

Die Verhandlung ist vorbei und wir sind vorsichtig optimistisch. Unsere Anwältin Sarah Lincoln hat nochmal deutlich gemacht: Die Rechtsprechung des EuGH ist glasklar und lässt den Vergleich mit dem direkten Kollegen zu. Der „Median“ taucht im Europarecht nicht auf. #StayTuned
Ankunft in Erfurt: Morgen geht’s für #EqualPay vors Bundesarbeitsgericht. #StayTuned wir nehmen euch mit!
I think the time has come to finish another article for my "Horror Stories", which will go on my blog.
Only a few parts are missing before it's ready to be published. The time is right, I am ready 😉
Stay tuned!
