Thanks for these code changes. I'm sure they will come in useful. Also, I think this has all been fixed in 3.0

See attachment of what happens when looking up an IP with RIPE

Early last year I changed the Ripe search option for 'IPLOCATION (Europe, the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia)' the reason for this is because the results from Ripe were very minimal.

For those who want to change also here's how.

Backup first.

Sources>Profile.View.php

find


'ripe' => array(
                'name' => $txt['whois_ripe'],
                'url' => 'https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/query.html?searchtext=' . $context['ip'],
replace with



          'iplocation' => array(
                'name' => $txt['whois_iplocation'],
                'url' => 'http://www.iplocation.net/?query=' . $context['ip'],
Default>languages>Profile.English.php

Find


$txt['whois_ripe'] = 'RIPE (Europe, the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia)';
replace with


$txt['whois_iplocation'] = 'IPLOCATION (Worldwide)';
One last thing is that you would not need any of the other IP options as IPlocation does worldwide.

As I previously said I've been using this for quite some time and the results are quite comprehensive.

No not you of all people. I thought maybe I was the only one.

Brain farts are allowed here

Quote from: Bigguy on Jan 21, 2024, 09:24 AMI noticed the other day that after I had cleaned my cookies and cache using crap cleaner, that Facebook is loaded with trackers. After cleaning everything I went to the login page and sat there for about 10 seconds. I then pulled out Crap Cleaner again and cleaned. Just sitting on the login page I had acquired over 100 trackers. That's BEFORE login. It gets a lot worse the longer you stay on it. It's just an insane place to be.

They even know when your sitting on the crapper.

Getting old and I get brain dead at times, probably most of the time.  :

My brother and I do this all the time. Talk for hours on the phone. Him on his cell and me on a landline with my cell next to me. Ads start popping up before we are done the phone call.

Quote from: Neša on Jan 22, 2024, 06:25 PMSadly it isn't just Facebook that tracks you, every free service is tracking you.

If you aren't paying for the product, you ARE the product.

But your point that paid ones track you as well is now equally valid.

You think your activity while using FB is the problem - what about the fact that your hone listens to things you say all the fucking time and targets ads that way.

Try for example to discuss with your partner for a day something you wouldn't normally discuss like buying a new car or buying a house or going on holiday to a certain country. 

Then watch the targeted ads roll in.
