Unknown error acquiring position

When visiting https://daylight.website/, I keep getting an »Unknown error acquiring position« although I have permanently allowed my browser to transmit my geolocation.

I’m at 48.240, 10.359 and tested this with Firefox 60.0.1 and Chromium 65.0.3325.181, both under Ubuntu 14.04.5 and Linux Mint 17.3.

Negative numbers when left open

Hi there, great site, I keep it open all the time.

Sometimes when I open it in the morning, say at 10am, it shows a negative number like "-2h 55m until sunrise". The visuals are otherwise accurate. Then when I refresh the page, it shows the correct text: "9h 20m until sunset".
