System Info

I want to open up a webpage and see, for my local device:

- CPU (core count, manufacturer)

- Memory

- GPU present

- Disk size, free space

- IP4 and IP6 addresses

- Ping to different countries main providers

- My geolocation and altitude

- A pin point of that on an embedded (free, ideally SVG, global) map that doesn't need to specify layers/metadata/cities/countries just show me the projection of lat long onto the globe of the earth and the contours of continents

- My current velocity

- Any sites I'm logged in to or identified by

- My browser version and known exploits against it

- My OS version and known exploits against it

- Connection speed ( link capacity, actual up and down, and rates per second )

- Screen dimensions and capabilities

- Output of any other accessible sensors: gyro, bluetooth, wifi, whatever

Thanks! Could you elaborate on your use case? I'm trying to figure out how much of this can/needs to be client-side vs. server-side
