Finally. Someone noticed π₯Ή
Woah this is really cool. Though I was way off for me and I'm not on a VPN right now.

I hate this so much. Its super cool but MAN what the hell. I don't think I'm going to ever turn off my VPN anymore. I'm in a super small town and that image is correct.
It's cached somewhere because I can't get it to update. Maybe time for a new account too. Hmmmm

My location is accurate, to give some good feedback on your program too lol

Hey. I wanted to do this tomorrow.
Well I have a new idea which is pretty similar

I'm plannig to make one of these "dox'd memes" where someone says something controversial and another one answers with the ip address.

Location is right, but I highly doubt anyone near me is using Lemmy (dictatorship here).

Iβm not using a VPN or anything and it got my location wrong by 700 kilometers π€
Are you sure you are where you think you are? When's the last time you looked outside?
You have the code for this? Very interested in how you implemented it
You can run Geolocation with images now? What the heck? How?
[This comment has been deleted by an automated system]
Joke's on you. IP geolocation where I am is an unreliable mess and your image got it wrong by about 1000km!

This is possible because Lemmy doesn't proxy external images but instead loads them directly. While not all that bad, this could be used for Spy pixels by nefarious posters and commenters.
Note, that the only thing that I willingly log is the "hit count" visible in the image, and I have no intention to misuse the data.
Doesn't know it's sync.
What is it supposed to say?
What is it supposed to say?
"You are viewing this from The Black Pearl, Davy Jones."
I'll be damned. I tried this from three different platforms and you've nailed it.
I'm using Firefox on Mac and it thought I was on windows. Still a big issue though.
It said I'm on Mac OS X, but that's wrong. It's been macOS for some years now. /s
It still makes me wanna cry.
for a little extra creepiness, modify the image-generating script to add geoip location data and http referer to the image.
