Automatically detect location in Conky
I travel to different places for work with my laptop. I would like to see the current weather for the place I am in. Is this possible?
There are conky
configurations on Google for Accuweather, WUnderground, NWS, Weather.com and more, but all require you to find out some city id and hardcode it into conky
.
Is there some service or trick or API to show the weather of the location I am in, without manually changing my .conkyrc
every time I open my laptop?
Technically this is possible
There is no GPS in my laptop and I have location services turned off, but still Google always seems to know exactly what city I am in. It's much more accurate than a geotrace of my public IP address, because that often traces me to the biggest city in a 200km radius.
Ideas
So far I've found https://freegeoip.net/json/, but most often the region is not detected and the latitude/longitude is very imprecise (one decimal).
