🚨 Why is Colab Disconnecting?

[camenduru]

According to the official statement, the Colab Free tier is not available for the Stable Diffusion WebUI 😭. We can only use it with a paid plan.

If you have more questions, please ask here: https://github.com/googlecolab/colabtools/issues

[1Zero11]

Yeah... seems like they've started to enforce it

[zaviier]

some Colab still can use it.. just remove/rename stable-diffusion thing to another name. and it's solved

[romper-pain]

are there any sort of workarounds for this? renaming the project, having an alternate disguised version, or any free colab alternatives or whatnot?

camenduru can't just do that, i think. All eyes are on his colab. Colab team can figure out the better solution to even banning more strictly. At this point just be chill with the 'safe' colab.

There are many that claims 'still safe', check out here: https://github.com/camenduru/stable-diffusion-webui-colab/tree/community

But how to do that from where to remove it

#407
What about this thing

[mike59881051]

Is it just webUI is banned or stable diffusion altogether?

[mcube-12139]

Rename "stable diffusion" to "erratic condensation"

Step1
Append code in header：

import sys
import os
import base64

w = base64.b64decode(("d2VidWk=").encode('ascii')).decode('ascii')
sdw = base64.b64decode(("c3RhYmxlLWRpZmZ1c2lvbi13ZWJ1aQ==").encode('ascii')).decode('ascii')

Step2

Replace all stable-diffusion-webui characters with $sdw
Replace all webui characters with $w

Replace all stable-diffusion-webui characters with $sdw Replace all webui characters with $w

works for me

wich stable-diffusion-webui? because some of them are related to web URLs and others are related to local directories.

when it can be done something like this

ofcourse, as long as you achieve the purpose of blocking keywords

[Sarthak-999]

Hi there,I am not a coder but need to use stable diffusion for free if possible can anyone please figure out about this

Step1 Append code in header：

import sys
import os
import base64

w = base64.b64decode(("d2VidWk=").encode('ascii')).decode('ascii')
sdw = base64.b64decode(("c3RhYmxlLWRpZmZ1c2lvbi13ZWJ1aQ==").encode('ascii')).decode('ascii')

Step2

Replace all stable-diffusion-webui characters with $sdw Replace all webui characters with $w

I understood the second step that by going on edit we can replace it but can anyone please tell me about how to do the first step it would be really helpful for me,thank you for reading.

[DeekshithSH]

Just paste the code

import sys
import os
import base64

w = base64.b64decode(("d2VidWk=").encode('ascii')).decode('ascii')
sdw = base64.b64decode(("c3RhYmxlLWRpZmZ1c2lvbi13ZWJ1aQ==").encode('ascii')).decode('ascii')

In top of the code

[Sarthak-999]

Do we have to make a new cell or on the top of first cell?,thank you soo much for replying.

Hi , can you share the colab notebook or snippet where you actually make the changes ? That would be of great help

[DeekshithSH]

Here is a modified notebook files
This and This
Don't know this still works or not
You can reference this file but it's little bit different than what trick your trying to ask

[LIMPIX31]

@DeekshithSH

Thank you! That's working fine!

While I still have issues with the SD itself, they are not colab related and are easy to fix.

If you load your model, remember to also replace all occurrences of stable as well

@bincooo Can you make a colab that has this code in the right place, I don't know where to put it.

[zaviier]

this does not work anymore. I already tested

[SixSiege]

Alright, so apparently "diffusion" is the new blocked word. I tried changing "diffusion" to {d} and adding d="diffusion" on top of the cell and it works

[SysGang]

How can I implement this? Can you give maybe a step-by-step tutorial? Thanks.

nope. still disconnected

[possom2009]

Is there a version without webui? That's what's banned, a non webui version should work ok.

[upright2003]

I can test diffusion that day, but it won’t work tomorrow.
Is there a way to generate an image using the following command??

python scripts/txt2img.py --prompt "YOUR-PROMPT-HERE" --plms --ckpt sd-v1-4.ckpt --skip_grid --n_samples 1

https://www.assemblyai.com/blog/how-to-run-stable-diffusion-locally-to-generate-images/

[kawasaki-koto]

I made a copy of it in a private git repository and removed "webui" and used it.
It worked fine for the last few days, but now it doesn't work.
It is very likely that colab has set up a ban word other than "webui".

[Vector-Stack]

it's the problem of "diffusion".

New step 1 trick:

add the following to first cell

!pip install pycryptodome pycryptodomex
import sys
import os

from Crypto.Cipher import AES
from Crypto.Random import get_random_bytes


key = b'\x7f\xb0\xe2\xd6\xdf\xad\xc5S\x1f\x1b\x141\x9f\x1b\x08\x99'
nonce = b'(\xfd\xfd\xc4\x04\xff\x9d\xc5\xe6\xc8.\x8b\xaf>\xb4\xe6'
tag = b'\x11\xd6`\xf77\xeb\x1dq\xb9\x19l,\x83\x08,\xb1'
ciphertext = b'\xcc\xbeb\x0bH'
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_EAX, nonce)
data = cipher.decrypt_and_verify(ciphertext, tag)

data = str(data)
data = data.replace("b'", "")
data = data.replace("'", "")
print(data)
w = data

key = b'\xdeO\xbd\xa7G\xda\x85b\xba\x15f6\x8b\xc5\xc8\x17'
nonce = b'j\x1d]\xf4\xc2\x91\xed\xc4\x96=\xb2C\xe5\xf3\xaa2'
tag = b'\xc3\xce\xd2M\x1b\x19\xed\xee\xc1\x94?01O\nX'

cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_EAX, nonce)
data2 = cipher.decrypt_and_verify(ciphertext, tag)

data2 = str(data2)
data2 = data2.replace("b'", "")
data2 = data2.replace("'", "")
print(data2)
sdw = data2

[gustavokch]

here is a working notebook file
wui.zip
EDIT: sometimes it disconnects...

[gustavokch]

My working notebook that supports model loading from huggingface or civitai, loras, long prompts and (IMO) the best upscaling algorithms, without web UI.

If you want to use a GDrive that is not the same as the account logged in on colab, setup rclone and select that option

Please speak english if you wan't help, use a translator if you need one. What error are you getting?

Set runtime to TPU.

Make sure to use native Gdrive if you don't have rclone setup, and fill in the huggingface token. The rclone option is only there in case you want to use Google Drive from another account.

Otherwise, just read the code and the error message, read the documentation on hugging face hub and try to fix it.

[gustavokch]

Let's shift this chat to a discord / telegram. Google might be spying on us -_-

OK... DM me with details.

The way I see it, Google is not against running stable diffusion itself, but rather the popular GUIs, and they're mostly enforcing it through string detection, or perhaps by dumping running processes and comparing to known hashes of files in such GUIs. Nor diffusion, diffusers, neither stable-diffusion, gradio or stablediffusion are specifically banned strings.

For banned strings you can always encrypt them using something like AES with random keys, the problem with running the full stable-diffusion-webui is most likely the strings inside the repo files which there is no way to replace statically without breaking the code somewhere else.

I haven't really dug into this much, but if there way some way to trace the execution while printing the last line executed by the interpreter, it would be possible to circumvent the restriction, but it won't be an easy task. Maybe using cython or numba jit could work. Or writing a wrapper for the python executable in a more performant language that encrypts memory dynamically.

I'm not that crazy about using GUIs to consider such work atm, solutions can be made from scratch using native jupyter without ever needing to run a web server or code from banned popular implementations.

[ParikhKadam]

@gustavokch how do I reach out?

[DuckytheQuack]

@gustavokch @ParikhKadam I made a discord server where we can discuss it further. I also have some ideas for getting around the block.
