    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 🤔

    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.

    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.

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

    Damn, PHP is such a sleeper of a language, I always forget how useful it can be.Thanks for sharing!

    Genuinely curious, how is it superior to Python in your opinion?

    Edit: Apart from the things you listed 😅

    PHP is the OG bad-ass for getting shit done. No setup, no compile, no deployment pipelines. Hell, you can create and write the files right there on the server with nothing more than an SSH terminal if you want.

    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
