@Pcoombe mentioned in IRC that this is only happening a couple of times an hour, and that he got correctly geolocated (I assume by the varnish server?) when visiting donatewiki in incognito mode.

So this isn't a big donor impact, but we should stop throwing production errors. Maybe add a try/catch or just remove the php-side geolocation altogether.

@Ejegg I don't know anything about how often it's happening (although twice per hour was in the task description) but can confirm I haven't been able to reproduce when visiting donatewiki in Incognito

Huh, seems not to be happening any more:

and seems to have only happened 8 times in history. Maybe not worth worrying about right now.
