Progress Report:
So, building on @captcha_incorrect 's n8n script he graciously offered, and pulling data into Grafana, and learning how to python correctly....it's been a journey. However, I am happy to report that I have some weather data now. It's by no means a finished product but I have made some progress.

The extended forecast in the right hand side took me some time to figure out pagination so I could scroll through 5 days in advance. The weather tab at the top left will get a couple more tabs. One for forecast map, if I can figure that out. LOL
No, it's always been a fairly large community, globally. Maybe relegated to geeks and nerds tho. It's early iterations didn't have a 'Windows like GUI'. It did have interfaces, but not what people using Windows were used to. Then as the versions became more user friendly with a GUI that had icons, and such, it gained an even wider audience. Now, gaming has exploded on Linux making it even more popular. A program called Wine, can run some Windows apps in a Linux environment. If I were to guess, I'd say about 60%+/- of the global servers are Linux/Unix. It's a very powerful OS, and one that I will probably never use to it's fullest capabilities. Hopefully, in the future as all us old heads die off, and the younger generations who have adopted Linux as their OS of choice, will influence even more subsequent generations.
Did you just call the people of selfhosted community nerds ? LOL
I am going to try reading through the linux upscale docs before going to sleep!
