Hello #rustlang people, I would appreciate a hint if anyone is aware of a non-invasive, privacy respecting geolocation crate? I seem to be picking the wrong terms or it just is an impossible combination in the first place?
My first idea of using https://beacondb.net/ does not seem to pan out.
@Katie_Luise While I agree that one should always ask the question why one needs personal information like geolocation. Privacy does require an answer to "why".
For context:
- routing for many CDN services is based on having some geo information, a country or a continent usually is sufficient
- a sole person does not have any leverage against a billion dollar company to change this
@Katie_Luise I know, it is already in the terms of service, and has millions of users. I am literally just trying to replace a horrible vendor of geolocation information with a community driven one here.
I did ask for practical help, not for a lesson or philosophy. My original request already made it clear I am trying to strike a balance here...
@danielsreichenbach there is no perfect solution. Type the following into Gemini Pro or Claude Opus:
I have an online service. What is the best way to determine routes to the client without privacy invasion?
(RFC 8805 seems to be the best)
