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

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.

25 0 ReplyIt'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.
12 0 ReplyYeah 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.

This is great, because it located me about a full day's drive from where I live, so I'm still pretty anonymous :-)
4 0 ReplyI 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.
4 0 ReplyYou have the code for this? Very interested in how you implemented it
4 0 ReplyThought about adding the user's location, but was worried PythonAnywhere could somehow cache the image between multiple people. A great demo though!
4 0 ReplyMy location is accurate, to give some good feedback on your program too lol

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
