So I have a private VPN. And I verified that my external IP is showing as if I'm at home. However, once I signed into Hulu, it was showing clearly stuff more tailored for Mexico. We'll just have to see

Did you turn off your GPS? YTTV will use both. Not sure about Hulu.
My goodness it feels nice out this morning compared to five days ago.
Any snow that wasn't plowed into a big pile is pretty much melted at our complex.

Anyone heard of the Iowa Chill? They showed a wind speed of 1102 mph in Algona today. I missed that while I was at work.
It will be fun when/if our forecasting becomes worse or we have to pay for it but if we want to talk about it, oh that has to go to the cave.
I get all my weather from Cuclone Fanatic. And my rain gauge, that is 20 years old. And my thermometer that says Walnut 4x4 Feed on it.
Better yet when staffing + cost means the rural areas are the first left twisting in the wind, as it were, when it comes to tornado warnings. A little FA, a little FO.
Just so everyone is clued into the weird progression of posts - there was a discussion that was removed because it was political (cave).
Being a discussion about weather, although the changes made were definitely political, I feel like it's important to know that a change has in fact happened.
To keep it out of politics, I'll just link sources https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/27/trump-noaa-cuts-climate

So I posted a screenshot of Al Roker about NOAA reductions and that is too political?
So, this is a stretch - but taking that idea (the idea that weather info should be available always) I've been thinking about a software project.
It would be cool to create an open source "federated/distributed" weather application. I'm thinking sorta a mix between seti@home meets torrents.
Many many people have their own weather stations or sensors. Many of the existing weather satellites are "open channels" meaning you can pull data with your own antenna.
What we need to do is distribute the processing, aggregation and hosting. I'm not aware of other projects like this that currently exist, but it seems like a good idea.
Don't worry warnings will be "Brought to you by Carl's Jr......I mean Starlink."
