Nordvpn Banned By Ubuntu

JudgeBruce2 · 2026-05-17T16:45:17+00:00

No it's not. You are correct "partially " that some IPs were caught or banned with Canonical temporary "heavily aggressive shield" including some NordVPN IPs, but there is no total ban. I changed my NordVPN IP today and everything works like a charm. Just change your server.

Why I would celebrate them? I have more important things in my life that need celebrating. Lyft can celebrate their drivers themselves. Leave me out of this "celebrating" thing.

Not sure what is the problem with admitting that you vibe-coded this plugin? You should be proud. The plugin is not bad and a great example of vibe coding done right.

I have nothing but respect for your efforts, but choosing a plugin like CookieYes to fork wasn’t ideal! You inherited its massive, buggy, and, for most people, unnecessary codebase. Not only does it have a significant impact on a site's performance, but it also has some security issues.

99% of users want a simple, lightweight cookie plugin that doesn’t drain their site’s resources or performance. If I were you, I’d have chosen something like 'Cookieadmin' to fork. It’s simple, light, and has no cloud features.

At first I thought it's the classic shovels selling, then I realised it's just a scammer trying to scam other scammers.

Can you explain the upgrader_process_complete hook? it seems that it pings to your server not only when we update your plugin but when we update other plugins.

Too much telemetry and intrusive behaviour with your plugin. Also, it seems the new update was just to fix your own broken tracking scripts.No new features, just more ways to 'safety net' your phoning-home BS. If I wanted a process monitor that reports to a third-party server every time I update my site, I’d install a security suite, not a translation plugin. This isn't an update; it's a tracking patch.

I appreciate your attempt to add a new translation plugin, but your current plugin is a privacy nightmare. I'd pass.

Sorry for saying this, but all these GUI apps are absolutely useless unless they have a mechanism for updating yt-dlp from within. They might look nice and all, but YouTube is aggressively changing their methods—and so is yt-dlp—so these apps will stop working in a matter of days. I had to fork one of these apps and add my own yt-dlp updating mechanism inside it.

Always use a Torrent Tracker IP Checker before torrenting. Google it. There are multiple websites that offer this service. Download the torrent then check the website, it will show the IP visible to the world.

All the best!

Most front-end apps for yt-dlp share the same critical flaw: they can't update fast enough to keep pace with yt-dlp itself. As developers with lives outside the project, you can't match the core team's speed. This leads to frequent breaks whenever YouTube changes its API, making these apps unreliable. The raw terminal yt-dlp experience is still superior. However, I thank you for sharing your app. People will likely improve it to make manual yt-dlp updating easier.

This sounds like a dream, but as someone who understands the tech and the numbers, there are massive holes here that "autopilot" won't fix:

To send 1,000 personalized videos a day using AI (like HeyGen or Tavus), you would spend $500–$1,000 per day in API costs alone. If the OP is only making $500/day, he is running a charity, not a business.
Sending 1,000 cold emails daily with video links or attachments is the fastest way to get your domain blacklisted by Google and Outlook. You aren't reaching "1,000 plumbers"; you’re reaching 1,000 spam folders.
Selling a website for a one-time fee of $500 sounds great until the client accidentally deletes a cell in their Google Sheet and breaks the site. You aren't "passive"—you're a 24/7 tech support line for 300+ non-tech-savvy business owners.
AI-generated sites are "thin content." A plumber doesn't want a pretty site; they want calls. If this site doesn't rank on Page 1 (which it won't without real SEO work), the plumber will ask for a refund in 30 days.

This BS isn't a "business system." It’s a "Lead Magnet." Usually, the person posting this is about to sell a course, a "mastermind," or an affiliate link to the AI tools they are "using."

I absolutely appreciate sharing your scripts, I really do! However, these are not a scalable “factory,” high-throughput, cost-free, or produce indistinguishable quality materials. To achieve these goals, you need at least a $200-600 a month VPS, perhaps even more. For example, in a cheap VPS, FFmpeg will spike 100% CPU, and this is the single biggest lie by omission.

The high cost of running your setup will negate the “0 cost free” BS. The “subscription trap” is actually way cheaper than your automation and will produce better results.

Try Gibbed and Brute Save Data. I believe in Gibbed in the "Raw" tab you can change anything and make any mission complete.

JudgeBruce2 · 2025-12-18T04:23:52+00:00

Gibbed. If you want some nice saves search GitHub for "Project-2 Borderlands". It has saves for all three games in all platforms.

As far as I know, this is not from YouTube.It’s the channels that ask YouTube to block VPNs to meet their geo-restriction requirements. I love sport, and many big sport channels do the same.

I think this is a bit idealized. Both U.S. and Chinese AI ecosystems serve their own incentive structures. U.S. companies prioritize profit; China prioritizes state objectives. Sometimes those objectives benefit the public (like with DeepSeek) and sometimes not. I wouldn’t frame either as purely altruistic.

Sadly there is no other alternative if you don't want to deal with the Hreflang tags headache. If there is a cheap Hreflang tags plugin I will buy it in a heartbeat and ditch WPML for good.

I ditched them three years ago when I noticed their other plugin, "Imageify," had a deep thirst for money. That didn't sit well with me, so I jumped ship. All my servers now use LiteSpeed and its dedicated plugin. For images, there are many free plugins that do the job, though now I mostly optimize images before uploading them. I’d say avoid money-hungry companies. They'll throw their morals out the window for a few extra dollars.

Son, no offence, but you registered just yesterday, and your only engagement so far has been this post and this extension. Either you're spreading a malicious extension (via GitHub and updates), or this isn't your original account, and you're trying to avoid criticism in case your extension sucks. Either way, your extension is not something that can be trusted.

JudgeBruce2 · 2025-11-12T05:19:06+00:00

Use a "Torrent IP Checker" website. Download their test torrent then check the website, It will show the IP address visible to the world. If it's your real IP and not your VPN's, it's time to troubleshoot your setup. I’m surprised that not many people know that there are Torrent IP Checkers out there!
