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!
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!
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.
Neues zur #Interfug2026. Es gibt Hinweise auf "Verzögerungen im Betriebsablauf". Unter diesem Motto laden wir euch zum Auftakt der 42. Kalenderwoche am 10. und 11.10.2026 zu einem gemütlichen Geekend in Chemnitz ins Lokomov ein.
Ein erster Fahrplan ist bereits aufgetaucht. Weitere Durchsagen folgen. Bitte achten Sie auf Anzeigen und bleiben Sie stets aufmerksam auf dem Bahnsteig. #staytuned
As promised, the littleFedi source code will become publicly available in about a week.
We will publish a snapshot of the complete source tree, together with some basic instructions to build and run it. Pre-built binaries will also be provided.
This will not yet be a proper littleFedi release. Documentation still needs work, testing needs to be expanded, and several things need to be cleaned up before we can call it that.
But the important part is that the code will finally be out there.
People will be able to read it, build it, experiment with it, start using littleFedi..
Over time, development will progressively move to the BSD Cafe Forgejo, where we will have the usual tools for issues, contributions, releases and collaborative development.
We're not quite there yet.
For now, the first step is simple: open the doors and let people get their hands on the code.
About one more week.
