[Перевод] Как ошибка в интернет‑картах превратила жизнь фермы в Канзасе в «цифровой» ад

Оригинал опубликован The Week 14 мая 2016 года. Текст старый, но сегодня читается почти острее: это история не только про IP‑геолокацию, а про то, как одно неудачное значение по умолчанию в базе данных может годами ломать жизнь реальным людям.

Localisez n'importe quelle IP avec l'alias GeoIP ultime !

Salut les libristes ! Marre de ne pas savoir d'où viennent les requêtes sur vos serveurs ?

J'ai pondu un petit guide pour installer un alias multisources (MaxMind + ip66.dev) qui vous donne la provenance d'une IP en une seconde chrono dans votre terminal. C’est simple, c'est propre, et c’est du BlablaLinux 😜

Ich habe inkonsistentes Verhalten meiner #OPNsense (Version 6.1.2_5) festgestellt. Bei Änderungen des DNS auf #Quad9 oder #IPv64 verliert die Firewall während des Surfens die DNS-Verbindung. Wenn ich hingegen den DNS von Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) eintrage, funktioniert er stabil. Zudem gibt seit heute Fehlermeldung zum #GeoIP -Update-Link von #maxmind Im Internet finde ich jedoch keine Informationen zu diesem Verhalten. Komisch.

A few months have passed and #Maxmind #GeoIP has yet again marked my #IPv6 /48 as "hosting" rather than "residential". This sets off alarms on various local streaming services, making them think I'm using a VPN.

My provider contacted them on multiple occasions, they fixed it once, and now it broke again.

So there you go, that one company that makes life difficult, because they can't figure out how to make persistent fixes to their darn database.

Great blog from our friends at #MaxMind about how we use their #GeoIP data to identify regions that are in the most need of our services! All while maintaining our strict privacy standards.

Как я адаптировал v2rayN для России или российские источники geo файлов для v2ray/sing-box/etc

Сегодня был выпущен мажорный релиз v2rayN v7.0, а вместе с ним и моя серия коммитов, которые добавляют поддержку пресета "Россия". Для его работы так же был создан российский источник geo файлов для v2ray/sing-box/etc.

getting geoip data into ntop-ng is kind of laborious but could be worth it #maps #maxmind

I just started to create a simple GeoIP microservice using #MaxMind Geolite2 database and #Deno standard library. I'm really surprised that Deno is much faster than Node in a simple API like this.

We recently added metadata tables of features extracted by #ApacheTika, and we already had #pdfinfo metadata as well as provenance (including geoip info from #maxmind ).

Let us know if this corpus is useful at all as is and/or if we can make it more useful.

@plausible Yes will do that. I extended the docker setup with a `maxmindinc/geoipupdate` container, to automatically update the #maxmind geoip database. I could create an issue or a pull request for this, if you want.

Or, how the owners of a house in #SouthAfrica got harassed for years with false accusations of kidnapping, fraud, theft and more, due to misinformation providing to #MaxMind by the #USA's #NGA #government agency.

Remember to verify and clarify the accuracy of your data, especially when providing it to the general public.
