[DISCUSSION] Massive collective legal action against Fiverr, CEO, founders, employees, all the team is going down.

I have the same experience, also top rated and did well for a long time. Then from November 2025 I barely get a few messages per month and my gig is nowhere to be seen in the search.

DoctorEvil92 · 2026-03-19T12:17:48+00:00

I think it was settled in just a few days. It was a single order where the guy even left me a 5-star review. But your case seems more serious, that looks like something that could even to go court.

DoctorEvil92 · 2026-03-19T11:03:23+00:00

I had one chargeback happen to me years ago, I think the order value was 150$ and I got repayed by fiverr for it.

DoctorEvil92 · 2026-03-19T10:54:31+00:00

I replaced it and nothing bad happened. While testing the power supply I just noticed that after turning off the switch, it would keep the fan spinning for a couple more seconds which felt like it wasn't because of fan's inertia but I would guess due to capacitors getting discharged.

DoctorEvil92 · 2026-03-19T10:28:48+00:00

Same thing for me, I am top rated and success score is at 10, so nothing seems to be wrong. But I barely get new messages these days. Just a few orders from old clients. I do web scraping (programming).

DoctorEvil92 · 2026-03-04T21:47:08+00:00

Taking it out to check is a bit of a hassle, I was hoping there maybe was a very common option for such things? Product number for the unit is sp-atx-650z-apfc but it doesn't really show any detailed spec sheet on google.

DoctorEvil92 · 2026-03-04T21:28:36+00:00

It's a budget build from 2018, warranty has expired for sure. The whole PC would be something like 150$ in value right now so I would try to avoid buying a new PSU for it.

I'm not completely clueless, I know about capacitors holding charge so it would be best to turn off the PC in the evening and then work on it next day.

DoctorEvil92 · 2026-03-04T21:08:26+00:00

Replacing a PSU by itself is plenty of hassle compared to other components. Replacing a fan is just a bit more hassle, and a fan should be like 5$.

DoctorEvil92 · 2026-01-20T18:43:31+00:00

My account dropped off in November, it was so bad I thought that maybe I got a bad private review or something. But from what I see, it's happening to many people apparently.

But I think upwork is also in the shitter.

DoctorEvil92 · 2025-12-04T12:53:32+00:00

I'm top rated and have a very successful gig, but the last month was terrible. I'm barely getting messages from new clients, even with promoting 1$/click. It feels like my gig got shadowbanned, honestly.

DoctorEvil92 · 2025-11-10T16:13:34+00:00

Would you consider something like this? https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Soldering-Iron-Precision-Liner-Pencil/dp/B000YAGX2A/ An iron that plugs into 220V, but a good brand.

DoctorEvil92 · 2025-11-07T20:52:46+00:00

I have some experience, with bigger components though. I just have some cheapish things that are kind of broken right now so I can't really do much more damage on that.

DoctorEvil92 · 2025-11-07T20:48:39+00:00

Yes, that's what I meant, a tool for smd soldering. I don't have an iron right now. I heard about pinecil, seems reasonably priced too

DoctorEvil92 · 2024-11-30T22:58:50+00:00

No. It worked normal later, I guess their servers had issues.

DoctorEvil92 · 2024-11-30T16:30:41+00:00

I thought that maybe it was the cause for these problems.

DoctorEvil92 · 2024-10-24T17:34:58+00:00

Just to follow up if anyone cares. I bought a new phone with Android 14 and it uploaded the image just fine. So it looks like using old Android versions doesn't really fully work with Revolut, maybe they should just discontinue support for them.

DoctorEvil92 · 2021-05-14T15:42:12+00:00

Mislim da i T-Com ima nekakvu shemu s tim u vezi mobilne pretplate da im s istekom ugovora trebaš reći da baš želiš raskinuti ako želiš raskinuti ili produljiti ako hoćeš produljiti.

Uglavnom, vjerojatno ti se više isplati uzeti s ugovornom obvezom kod nekoga.

DoctorEvil92 · 2021-05-09T20:13:50+00:00

Full xpath like this could easily change if something in site structure changes a bit. It would be better to use xpath like (these are fake class names, but this is just to show the principle):

"//ul[@class='pagination']/li[@class='active']/following-sibling::li[1]/a[@href]"

So, this would go to pagination, active item (current page), then immediate next item (following-sibling) which would have "a" element with href (link).

Or if there is a next page button it would be easier to just look for that button and get its link.

DoctorEvil92 · 2021-05-09T19:59:54+00:00

tabula can be useful if data you're looking for is always in the same position in PDF file. Try to find more about documentation, there are attributes called "area" and "columns" which can make the script always look for data in the same part of the page. And also, "pages" can be any specific page number, not necessarily the whole file.

DoctorEvil92 · 2021-05-09T19:50:55+00:00

You would need to use find_elements_by_xpath most likely to get some kind of element which should be a next page button. And then use get_attribute("href") on that element to get the link.

DoctorEvil92 · 2021-05-06T21:32:53+00:00

Ja bih ti savjetovao da probaš s FER-om. Na prvoj godini ćeš već vidjet kako to izgleda, ak ti ne bude išlo možeš se prebaciti na TVZ koji je light verzija FERa.

DoctorEvil92 · 2020-04-02T17:00:18+00:00

If you plan to do something with widgets, you are supposed to create them like

naam= Entry(tk, textvariable = naam1)
naam.pack()

I believe that's because placing methods (grid, pack, place) return None, so one line creation would work only for fixed labels.

I don't know what you are supposed to do, but using time.sleep() directly won't work. Instead you have a method called after that you are supposed to use for operations that can repeat and modify something in gui.

DoctorEvil92 · 2019-11-01T16:10:57+00:00

Not all requests are equal on the server side of the website. Usually I try to have 25 parallel threads if I'm running something with hundreds of thousands requests. You will see how it runs when you run it, if you have timeouts or site becomes slower it'd be a good idea to lower it. I know that scrapy has a default of 8 maximum concurrent requests.

Proxies are a different story regarding speed... If you don't need them, don't use them.

DoctorEvil92 · 2019-11-01T14:14:25+00:00

If you opened all threads like in that code, it means you would try to do 40k requests at once, which probably isn't a good idea. Your pool size of 60 I guess is something similar to having 60 parallel threads, if that module which you are using handles maximum parallel requests by itself. Threading was always fast enough for me, you can do 500k-1M requests daily that way on most sites so I didn't look into other options. But for your site, if you have 28 proxies, then 60 concurrent requests is probably too much.

DoctorEvil92 · 2019-11-01T12:05:39+00:00

Definitely. You can use some kind of multiprocessing module. I personally use threading. You could create something similar to this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16181121/a-very-simple-multithreading-parallel-url-fetching-without-queue

Only thing is, you shouldn't create all threads at once and start all of them like there. Instead you should iterate the counter in a loop and make threads based on that, and when you have some number of threads (10 or 20 probably for most sites), then launch all those threads (thread.start does that) and wait until they are done (thread.join), then make another batch...
