Thank you for your reply. In the meantime, the problem solved itself. A few days ago, in another thread, I asked about repairing the weewx.db database, which was showing errors – possibly due to a damaged memory card (I use Raspberry Pi). This was the most likely cause, as other services running in parallel with Weewx also started to behave strangely. At the last minute, I cloned the card to a new one and, at the same time, upgraded the operating system from Raspbian 12 (bookworm) to 13 (trixie). The SSL certificates were also updated, and that seems to have solved the problem with the refusal to download the de440s.bsp file - I already have it in the /var/lib/weewx/skyfield directory with yesterday's date, and the error messages have disappeared from the log. poniedziałek, 5 stycznia 2026 o 18:45:21 UTC+1 [email protected] napisał(a):
