To me it seems like reading this makes one believe that the blood and blue parts of the "super blue blood moon" had some minor relevancy in all of this and made the water levels slightly lower than usual. To clarify, the eclipse p

Highly doubt Google and others would punish you for having a slightly bigger latency to your server and back. If that was the case, all the companies that are hosted in the US would already be punished in Europe.

Thank you for spotting that! I was so obsessed with the actual conversation that I have forgot to check other sources in the screenshot. I have pushed a change that makes those two occurrences censored.

Yes, completely intentional. The idea is that the city's name is hidden by default, but very easy to discover if you decide to do so. So you can highlight the text, click on the button at the bottom of the page, or go to the linked Wik

Does it need to be practical? It's just a proof of concept, as is displayed in the very first sentence in the README file. This seems to me more like "wow, something cool has been done in an unusual way" material, rather than

Just curious: Are you okay if it's something self-hosted (like Piwik) doing the same kind of tracking? In other words: Do you not want a third party (like Google) to have that data or the second party (web administrators)?

I don't give two craps about do the companies have my phone number or not, so I understand their argument. Phone numbers are something all people have, so using it as a backup if you lose your Yubikey makes sense. With that said, I do
