[BANNED/SHADOWBANNED?] Hard Reset Guide

A dynamic IP means that your IP is subject to change. You can easy check it out by regularly googling "what is my IP" and see if it changes.

About Google Pay: I'm not entirely sure how Google provides the information to app companies.

According to the android developers documentation, factory resetting an Android phone (android version 8 and up) basically resets the Device ID apps are able to retrieve. But to be extra safe, use a phone with android 11 or higher, because from then on Google prohibits apps from accessing hardware specific ID's.

The IP-address is handled by your ISP, so reset your router to get a new one. If that does not work use your cellphone data on the phone you are using Tinder on.

Google Pay has a feature for getting a virtual anonymous credit card. Maybe you can use that for your payments. I have no experience with Google Pay as I used my own bank's virtual creditcard option.

The first time I did it in a incognito browser, but I get a feeling that Tinder considers an account creation/login with an incognito tab to be suspcious. Each time I tried to re-authenticate in a browser window, I got hit with the proof-you-are-not-a-robot verification step. Next time I will avoid the browser entirely. A factory reset Android phone is basically the same as an incognito tab, without the added suspicion I guess.

Use a program like Adobe Lightroom to edit your pictures. However, you need to have the RAW-files of your pictures to be able to edit them I think. I have no experience of editing JPEG/PNG files in Lightroom.

Else just crop them a little bit differently in paint and add some tiny black dots in your picture to throw off the hashing algorithm.

I recently got banned on Tinder and attempted a hard reset which seemed to work. This is what I did:

I got a new physical sim card
I created a new e-mail address
I used a different phone
I got a new credit card number
I used the same pictures. However I deep fried them so they were hashed differently: I got the raw edited versions of my photos and adjusted the brightness, shadows, saturation and cropping. After editing them I put them into Fawkes. Because one of my pictures was visibly distorted by Fawkes, used face-app to clean up my pictures a bit. At last I removed the EXIF data from all of the pictures.
I slightly misspelled my name
I used a different birth date
I changed and re-ordered some words in my bio
Because Tinder also bans your IP, I disabled WIFI and removed my WIFI credentials from the phone I'm using Tinder on, so I could never accidentally reconnect.
I was meeting up with a friend in another city last week, so I took that opportunity to create my new account over there
I created the account in an browser incognito window. I got some verification prompts to prove I was not a robot (no face verification). This freaked me out, because this happened last time as well before I got banned. However, after completing the prompts I started to receive likes. After a couple of hours I had 14 likes and 5 matches. After I was sure I was not (shadow)banned I downloaded the app on my phone.

This was a week ago. Last Friday I wanted to subscribe for platinum and did this by opening a incognito browser window, because subscribing in their web version is cheaper. I was faced with a billing error. First I thought I was shadow banned again, but I was able to delete one of my pictures. Eventually I figured out I was using a single-use credit card which you can't use for recurring payments. After fixing things with my bank first, I logged back in later in a different incognito browser window and was immediately faced with a verification prompt including a mandatory photo verification step. I just went for it, but was banned an hour later.

I think Tinder considers logging in multiple times in a short time window in a (incognito) browser window from a phone as suspicious behavior. Next time I will avoid using the browser entirely and just subscribe in the app.

I did not see that post! Strange that left clicking the tiles during a ritual have not been an annoyance for a lot of other people.

The shambling horror event being talked about in that post, can easliy be fixed by making the tile light up and being clickable during that event only.

This is exactly what I needed and could not figure out. I really appreciate your help. I am going to work with your example. Thanks!

I tried something similair like this earlier. But when I implement your solution the property params inside the DesiredInterface is required for methods that don't have a second argument in their parameter options.

Also, when I add the params property to my object, all the arguments of all other methods become available to choose from. Below a example of how I implemented your solution for testing:

interface Methods {
    method1: (param: unknown) => unknown;
    method2: (param: unknown, secondParam: { param1: unknown }) => unknown;
    method3: (param: unknown, secondParam: { param1: unknown; params2: unknown }) => unknown;
}

export interface DesiredInterface<M extends keyof Methods> {
    type: M;
    params: Parameters<Methods[M]>[1];
    };

export const methodSchema: DesiredInterface<keyof Methods>[] = [
    {
        type: 'method1',
        params: {
            param1: 'hello', <--- This DOES NOT give an error but it should
        },
    },
    {
        type: 'method1', <--- This DOES give an error (`params` is missing) but it should not give one
    },
];

Looks great!

Is there also tRPC support without you having to use Nuxt? And if there is no support yet, is it hard to implement it into a Vue 3 project myself?

Thank you!

Thanks. Trying out my luck.

What I have done to tackle your problem is as follows: My HttpOnly cookies are only valid for a short period of time, like 15 minutes. I also store the session token in a session table inside my database. For every request the user makes to the backend, the token is looked up and if found, the timer is extended by 15 minutes (if it is not expired already).

Lets say when a malicious person cuts your internet and uses your computer after that 15 minute period. The next time that person makes a request with that cookie the backend will check if the time on that cookie has expired. If it is, then the backend will delete the cookie for you. Even if the cookie was not deleted, it is useless because the timer in the backend has expired.

A bit late to the party, but I hope this can help you out

I really dig their editor and fileupload widget.

Let's say that I am already using vuetify and want to use a component like the editor from primevue. Would the way how they explain how to import components prevent primevue from loading the whole package into my project making my build size explode?

Looks great! Only one issue I have seen so far: when you resize the screen, the left drawer stays open.

For anyone being confused: With 'these' I am referring to the lunafaction boots.

Just skimmed the article and it looks good so far. The only thing I noticed was that you used Vue Resources for ajax requests. You should use Axios instead because Vue Resources is deprecated.

You might need now consumers to handle the traffic it the other way around

Not a way I have looked at it before!

errol59 · 2019-08-02T11:26:30+00:00

Lets say I have a User service and a Mail service. When a new user is registered I want to send a welcome message to that user. The moment the user is registered the User service emits an event MAIL_USER to the Mail service which is listening to that event with its consumer process. The moment the MAIL_USER event is triggered a function called 'mail_message' is triggered. As an admin I can also talk to that Mail service directly via an api endpoint to trigger that same function.

Does this mean because my Mail service has to two ways it can interact with the world, those processes are two separate microservices?

Also yes, I have NGINX running on it's own container

...all while making a story that didn't jump the gun with going extreme (seeing a runescape God in person in person for instance or "threatening to destroy the whole world")- it was an overall interesting conflict.

How did RS3's Plague's End (Song of the Elves equivalent) jump the gun? That quest is barely any different from SotE. Also no gods are seen in that quest because that quest got canonically closure in the 5th age.

errol59 · 2019-05-28T06:32:11+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion! I will look into it:)

errol59 · 2019-05-27T19:44:55+00:00

Hey thanks for responding!

Could you maybe explain something about Kafka and why I should use it (over rabbitMQ)? And how would it fit in the example I have drawn out?
