Yeah I saw OPs explanation in the comments. That is fucking cool! And scary! I’ve never needed to generate images with code before, so Ive never even considered something like this before.
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

Finally. Someone noticed 🥹
Joke’s on you. IP geolocation where I am is an unreliable mess and your image got it wrong by about 1000km!

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

I’m not using a VPN or anything and it got my location wrong by 700 kilometers 🤔
Are you sure you are where you think you are? When’s the last time you looked outside?
Oh no! I’ve been kidnapped!
Woah this is really cool. Though I was way off for me and I’m not on a VPN right now.

Thanks for the heads-up.
Routing my Lemmy mobile app through orbot from now on. Seems to have fixed the issue.
I was wondering for a second why my town of all places was posted lmao. Also made me realize I forgot to turn my vpn back on.
My location is accurate, to give some good feedback on your program too lol

You have the code for this? Very interested in how you implemented it
I wonder why the Baltimore community is so dead, then.
You can run Geolocation with images now? What the heck? How?

It’s not the image, it’s a normal image. The server does the hard work when you make the request, and then it just builds the image accordingly.

This is great, because it located me about a full day’s drive from where I live, so I’m still pretty anonymous :-)
Thought about adding the user’s location, but was worried PythonAnywhere could somehow cache the image between multiple people. A great demo though!
Hah, not my town, but close. That’s where my ISP is located though.

Yeah, app cache had to be cleared. We good
It’s got me about an hour from where I actually am
I’m not using a VPN and the location isn’t accurate.
