I'm auto posting hourly weather updates to Mastodon and Bluesky with some PHP, because, why not :)

I have just now added the scripts to the first post in this thread :slight_smile:

In other news, I have created a file that shows min/max data from always yesterday.

I have duplicated the Bluesky script, set a different source file, and added another cronjob for this. So every day (starting tomorrow) at 08:30h, there is an automated “Yesterday’s weather” post on my Meteo Hilversum Bluesky channel.

@admin - looks like no weather Bluesky posts from you for a while - invalid handle in your profile.

Thanks Guy. I’ve been distracted by another project and hadn’t noticed the posts going missing. I don’t know how/why the account became “Invalid Handle”. I know there had been a problem that caused this a couple of weeks ago, but wasn’t aware of anything more recent.

If anyone else sees this, all I did to fix it was to manually send a small test post. That gave me my handle back and all seems well now.

Some minor changes have been made to the Bluesky script to allow for clickable URLs and clickable hashtags in the Bluesky post content.

The Bluesky ZIP file in the first post of this thread has been updated with these changes.
