Nope, it would tell you more if it could. Just no more data for your IP in the database. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mestiv Posted November 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 @Roadwalker no, the browser doesn't affect it, unless it connects to the internet through proxy or VPN. The location detection doesn't use cookies or tracking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonsterMetroid Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Interesting, so is the IP address in your sig to your personal server? Is sig.svg then a route to create the image and run the processing you discussed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about getting my own VPS I currently use https://www.arubacloud.com they have very cheap machines in Europe. Where do you live? You'd probably want something with machines close (same continent for example) to you, to have decent and reliable connection. You should also consider how powerful you want your vps to be. PM me more details if you'd like my advice 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Allomantic Metalhead Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 The first time I saw it it really freaked me out. Fortunately, I live in the middle of nowhere, so It got it wrong (but close). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I'm not so sure I like the idea of someone knowing and posting the city where I live without me giving the ok to share said information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only you see this info. When I open the image I see the city I live in. 2. It's not too accurate, as for some people it was hundreds of miles off. 3. You can hide my signature and it won't be displayed to you any longer. There's this X button in the top right corner of the signature area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone sees their own reflections. You are freely giving out this information, the only thing Mestiv does is like taking a look at people at the sidewalk and cross-referencing their style of clothing and facial features in some book he found to guess where you are from. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
