      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).

      Thanks for the heads-up.

      Routing my Lemmy mobile app through orbot from now on. Seems to have fixed the issue.

        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.

      I wonder why the Baltimore community is so dead, then.

      Woah this is really cool. Though I was way off for me and I’m not on a VPN right now.

          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 😅

                It can run natively on an Apache server without any frameworks required to render user website markup and serve pages. That’s a pretty awesome advantage.

            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.

            PHP is pretty damn awesome really… Sad that it’s gone out of favor IMHO

          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 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
