@vidar @vees And I agree, this has the potential of leaking data from one plugin/function to another and may create unwanted consequences.

@apas_csc @vidar @vees fun aside… ipv6 geolocation is hilariously bad…. Take a look at some cell phone ipv6 geolocation data of you get a chance… bouncing all across the continent while physically staying in one small town… or being 1000 miles away from accurate while in a major metro

@Azvede @apas_csc @vees Little you can do about that given the ISP can assign the blocks wherever, and even if you establish a better location somehow, e.g. by correlating with other information you've collected, that IP can end up being reassigned five minutes from now, and now your location data is wrong again. This has always been the case with IPv4 too - e.g. I could change the mapping of our IP blocks to cities at will when I ran an ISP way back.

@vidar @apas_csc @vees My honest opinion is that this is good and hilarious, not a problem to be overcome.. ip based geolocation is grody
