Excellent work Fedimeteo
You are systematically covering many areas of the planet, with weather information, right here at the fingertips of the FediVerse userbase
Many remain silent, and I'm not speaking for them, however I am certain that everyone is thankful for your hard and systematic work
And most of all you're doing it on a VPN running freeBSD which cost you 4 Euros a month which is an impressive feat

I even enjoy fedimeteo from the command line! ;)

Interesting method; you use w3m tr head sed and a verical pipe to format the output for your favourite sh

w3m is a great little terminal web browser, as it's easy to compile on nearly any OS and has some great features.
For my scripts, I usually try to auto-detect the presence of lynx, links, w3m, and chawan, but for my shell alias, I just picked w3m, which I have installed everywhere. 😄
