I've seen it but it's buggy and lacking in features. Feels like an afterthought instead of a real product

I wish I had as much faith in myself as you have in me :)

Honestly I would build it if I knew how to properly market it to quickly get users.

Globalping and jsDelivr took years to gain a meaningful user base

Capture developers and funnel them to the Workers platform

Off topic but I wonder when Cloudflare is going to launch their own Docker registry as a product.

I run about 270 servers in verified locations as part of the Globalping network https://globalping.io/users/jimaek so I had plenty of targets to test

I tested against them, as well as other infrastructure I control that is not part of the network, and compared to the ipinfo results as well

I talk a little about it in the article, but the main goal was to build something simple that works as proof of concept.

This brute force approach works much better than I expected as long as you have enough probes and a bit of luck.

But of course there are much better and smarter approaches to this, no doubt!

Yes, most likely there are multiple algorithms that could be used to get better results with fewer probes, but I'm not smart enough to do the math and implement them.

Atlas is great but it is focused more on academic research and professional use.

Globalping offers real-time result streaming and a simpler user experience with focus on integrations https://globalping.io/integrations

For example you can use the CLI as if you were running a traceroute locally, without even having to register.

And if you need more credits you can simply donate via GitHub Sponsors starting from $1

They are similar with an overlapping audience yet have different goals

I talk about it a bit in the article. The easiest solution is to use the last available hop. In most cases its close enough to properly detect the country even if the target blocks ICMP.

Email me if you would like to get some additional credits to test it out, dakulovgr gmail.

This is a little project exploring the feasibility of using a service such as Globalping for geo location needs.

I had fun making it but please note that the current implementation is just a demo and far from a proper production tool.

If you really want to use it then for best possible results you need at least 500 probes per phase.

It could be optimized fairly easily but not without going over the anon user limit which I tried to avoid

Yes I played it on a 4090. The game is good but graphics are underwhelming.

To my eyes everything looked better in BF1.

Maybe it's trickery but it doesn't matter to me. BF6, new COD, and other games all look pretty bad. At least compared to what I would expect from games in 2025.

I don't see any real differences from similar games released 10 years ago.

It's fine, but definitely a downgrade compared to previous titles like Battlefield 1. At moments it looks pretty bad.

I'm curious why graphics are stagnating and even getting worse in many cases.
