Day 2 of the 2023 is “lines" and I got it into my head to draw paths to the closest Ookla Speedtest servers from where you were viewing the vis from.

However, the restrictive CORS setting on that API endpoint meant I had to seriously overcomplicate my solution by, um, building the vis into a self-contained binary that fires up a local web server to make what I wanted done possible.

@hrbrmstr Somehow, that static servers script seems to think the closest servers are only in Amsterdam..

@Hipska what does hitting https://www.speedtest.net/speedtest-servers-static.php in a browser return?

@hrbrmstr Then, it was only amsterdam, but now there's some BE,NL and FR as expected. At the same time the speedtest on the website and app did give a reasonable server..
