 All right, we got a pretty dope user submission today one I've actually been waiting for for a while. I never asked for it, but I finally got it So as you may know on my machine, I have this little thing in my status bar That's basically like the weather module gives you precipitation chance daily low daily high If you click on it, it brings up the little weather forecast you can get by running CURL on the site WTT R.in In case you don't know about that right you at any time you can actually get Weather in your command line just by CRC URL in the site and it will you know give you some kind of weather forecast So that's nice to have but here's one thing. I've always wanted I've wanted to have The ability to see a Doppler radar like one of those radars where it shows where the the rain is actually going to be That's like a real-life thing that I actually want and see the issue is you can go on the internet Here look at all these like normie sites. Okay, look at how terrible. They are I just want to get my like my weather or something like that and there's all this junk like I mean The sites are like still loading and stuff like that just all garbage But luckily I got an email and here's how it goes. This is from this guy named Ray He says since I learned about WTT R.in from you I'll return the favor and share a trick for monitoring a weather radar the national weather service Maintains an Apache web server that hosts radar images from for every site in the country. You can find it right here Let's go look at this site. Here's the cool thing about this site as he mentioned It actually gives well, we'll we'll go ahead and look at it It gives individual pictures from like several minutes ago or you know, you know an hour or so ago from different places And it also provides a gif file Let's say we go to this gif file right here It'll give you a gif file for a different location in the country So this is Aberdeen in where is that like? I don't know Kansas or South Dakota or something. I don't know Or Nebraska. I'm trying to imagine where that is in the country But who anyway someone's gonna be offended because I don't know where they live So they have these nice little gifts and he suggests in this email just running, you know Picking whichever one's closest closest to you and running MPV on it That is you can tell MPV to run as a loop You can either put that in your MPV config to always run gifts as a loop You actually might want to do that But let's well, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna find the one closest to me probably Jacksonville Which okay looks like Jax, so I'm gonna click on this just to make sure that's it. Yep That's Jacksonville So I'm gonna take this link and what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna make a Little script that I can run in any point and will give me it will without bringing up a browser I can just get this weather report. Okay, so I'm gonna go to my personal scripts. I'm gonna make a script called Doppler okay, so it's a shell script and Actually, let me go ahead and save it So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna run MPV on this But I'm gonna actually run MPV with the loop option I forget I gotta actually look how to loop things for a second. We're doing we're looking in the man real time This is a manual. Let's play so loop file. We're gonna say imp. So it continuously loops and actually Well, okay, we'll just see how that ends up Now on my machine it might take a little while actually let me go make this thing executable Okay, so now I should be able to run Doppler at any point in time And since my internet connection is very slow it will take a second But it'll probably start for you instantly it will bring up an MPV instance of this gift file So now instead of bringing up all these stupid sites I already closed out of them because they're just so annoying or maybe they're over here No, okay, I could I just now have an MPV window that can come up Actually, I'm gonna change this a little bit just because you know my since my computer so slow I'm gonna add in a you know notify send command. I'm gonna say, you know, let's say We're making it up as we go. Let's see loading Doppler radar Dot dot dot Please wait a moment. Okay Because you know out here in the country you got bad internet. That's just how it is So now it's gonna give a little notification just so you know that it's running and then it's going to Pop up with that. Okay, great. So that should be a lot quicker for you Now there are other things as well just while I'm thinking about it Yeah, so anyway, thanks to Ray for giving me this because I've actually looked for this for a while He says he I think he said he had it on some kind of binding. Yeah in DWM or something like that But another thing you might want to add is like I don't like it having this progress bar down here I think that's sort of redundant So you can actually get rid of that in MPV as well. Is that like a HUD or something like that? I forget what it is There's an option for it. You can I don't know you can read the manual yourself. So anyway that that's just a Cute little optimization cute little thing. I've wanted this a couple times now. I have it. Thank you Ray for telling me about this That's it. See you guys next time
