Finger server, serving weather forcast
An ascii version of Yr.no's meteogram https://www.yr.no/en/forecast/graph/1-72837/Norway/Oslo/Oslo/Oslo
If you just want to use the service, type: finger [email protected] (replace oslo with your city). Finger is supported on all major platforms (Windows, MacOS, Linux, FreeBSD, Android, ...).
If you don't have finger available, but have some standard shell tools, try one of the following:
echo oslo|nc graph.no 79
telnet graph.no 79 (and then type oslo)
If you want to run the server yourself, read on below.
$ finger [email protected]
