# This simple script will post the weather plots given at
# IMG[1-3] to a social media Account using the Mastodon API
# (at least I hope, that it's compatible to the Mastodon API
# because I use Mitra on my server).
# 
# The images must be generated by another script and have to be located
# in the same directory as the script.
