Weather info in plain text or JSON

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/03/06

Two sites that can help you out getting weather info on the console:

wttr.in

wttr.in is developed by [Wayback/Archive] Igor Chubin (@igor_chubin) / X and looks at the request header to figure out what kind of output it sends.

It supports various output formats, so on my TODO list is to see how they do their mapping: always an opportunity to learn (it’s based on Python and Go so I am curious what libraries they use as well).

From the documentation:

wttr.in currently supports five output formats:

  • ANSI for the terminal;
  • Plain-text for the terminal and scripts;
  • HTML for the browser;
  • PNG for the graphical viewers;
  • JSON for scripts and APIs;
  • Prometheus metrics for scripts and APIs.

The ANSI and HTML formats are selected based on the User-Agent string.

There are more parameters in the documentation on the main page of the repository and through this command:

curl wttr.in/:help

The idea is derived from [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – schachmat/wego: weather app for the terminal.

Oh: Igor has more repositories at [Wayback/Archive] chubin (Igor Chubin) · GitHub (including [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – chubin/cheat.sh: the only cheat sheet you need which is hosted at [Wayback/Archive] cheat.sh; I thought I had blogged about that before, but found it only in a draft note mentioning that I got it via [WaybackSave/Archive] Nicolas Krassas on X: “The only cheat sheet you need cheat.sh“)

7timer

A 7 timer JSON usage example is at [Wayback/Archive] Get Weather from 7Timer! · GitHub

It has documentation at

Output formats can be chosen from HTML, PNG, XML and JSON.

Miguel de Icaza on Twitter: “This is so beautiful – SQL Injection attacks but for GPT-3 and other AI text models.” / Twitter

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/03/06

2.5 years after Miguel summarised the state of AI text models, and given SQL Injection (because of mixing control and data channels) still is a thing in the 2020’s, I wonder both how much improvement there has been on the AI side of things and how much it is used in pen testing.

So I archived the below tweets to be able to read back and figure out on the current state.
