 Running an ooni nettest with our ooniprobe.conf specifying that tor should
 be started and a DataDir should be used which is currently empty, as well
 as specifying that geoip lookups should be used (with a data dir which
 already has the geoip data file) we get the following:

 If we then try running again, now that the Tor DataDir is populated with
 descriptors, we get:

 and we get the same as the last one if we specify in the config to not
 include IP or use geoip.
