Best advice a dev gave you?
Week 103 Group Rant

Well that was a good little time off :)

Decided to go offline for a little and that was a good one, hello again.

Wrote a geoip service because I hate rate limits and such so fuck it, why not write one myself (data is not that accurate as it's free but quite alright if you ask me) (front end still fucking sucks).

So yes, that's I guess :P

    @PrivateGER Still gotta do a rate limiting thing but:
    https://ip-thingy.com

    Get parameters: (both optional)
    ip={any ip you want data of}
    json=true (gives back json content)

    Lol, I used to call geoip services from the client using Javascript, that way, there's no way I'd hit the rate limit Lmao...

    Too bad they caught me and asked very nicely to stop tricking the system

    Did you base it on a db or whois? Wrote one that uses a combination of db and whois but it's only country specific :)

    @Jifuna It's not 100 percent accurate but at least for most tests I did its quite good.
    Although I gotta get a more accurate array of timezone thingies...

    @Yamemori I thought they installed Windows on all his servers and he entered a shock state that he will never recover from 😂
