Insane
I stopped it now, just wanted to demonstrate that those counters need to be quite sophisticated to be anything close to reliable ^^
For sure! I was more trying to see if it'd work at all. Apps seem to cache the image but the websites just load it. Theoretically this could be used to collect IP addresses 🤔
Oh yeah, because Lemmy doesn't cache pictures, instead just hot-links them, every time the page loads it loads the picture from the other server. This can be used for bad things too.
Welcome to the world of 1x1 tracking GIFs in emails
I had intant old web flashbacks from that counter. Btw there is a project called the old web that maintains thousands of old websites. Not like the wayback machine, that has broken links. These guys are fixing all images and links, check it out
I used to have one of these counters on my geocities page
Now you can have one on your neocities.org page! They're bringing it back!
Seems broken
