You have the code for this? Very interested in how you implemented it

[–] remotedev@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

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

I’m not using a VPN or anything and it got my location wrong by 700 kilometers 🤔

[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Are you sure you are where you think you are? When's the last time you looked outside?

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

You can run Geolocation with images now? What the heck? How?

for a little extra creepiness, modify the image-generating script to add geoip location data and http referer to the image.
