Illegal code on Colab

[ll2pakll]

When I tried to run this Notebook, I started getting a message saying that this code is not allowed on Colab and if I continue to run it, my rights to use Colab will be restricted. Has anyone else received a message like this? This is the first time I've received it, although I've used this Notebook before with no problems

Pro users can use it without restrictions

[Stoi84]

Some mentioned earlier here that even with Pro, they're getting this message. Thanks for the clarification about this.

[catboxanon]

Just to chime in, the way things are written in the ToS would imply you can not use it without restrictions.

https://research.google.com/colaboratory/faq.html#limitations-and-restrictions

The following are disallowed from Colab runtimes: remote control such as SSH shells, remote desktops, remote UIs

Additional restrictions exist for paid users here.

At the bottom of that linked page:

When you use the Paid Service, you will not: Perform any of the prohibited activities set forth in the Colab FAQs

---

The tweet here that says "we're not banning users" is in response to the question of "Is there any risk of getting my Google account banned". It is not related to the warning that Google Colab shows saying it will "restrict" Colab usage, those are two separate things.

Feel free to correct me if I'm misunderstanding this.

Im confused there were so many pro users having this issue. Are you 100% sure?

Yes

Looks like pro users will still be able to use it. Source: https://twitter.com/thechrisperry/status/1649196140909428736

Since you are a paid user you should be good. Rest of us plebians from second/third world countries that can't afford the subscription or a good PC are screwed.

So if you're in a first world country and using free units it will be fine?

No, everyone will have to use paid units. At least that's what the colab lead is saying in that tweet I linked. It's not set in stone yet but they're most likely going to pull the plug on free tier SD Webui.

If you're a paid user you can use the WebUI to your heart's content without the worry of being banned.

In nocrypt's colab, unchecking output to drive solves the problem

[profcat2]

Not mounting google drive kinda works, the webui changes a bit and gradio launches and it starts to produce an image but then the final render is just a teal square.

For those who still have the "Illegale code" when adding path to model, move your models to another folder than the one in stable-diffusion-webui:

Example: /content/gdrive/MyDrive/sd/models/

I've tried this, and a new folder is like /content/gdrive/MyDrive/WebUI/models/ but got the same message. Is there any other trick for bypassing that message?

[aefly]

@plucyvrz For now it's the only way I found, try without "WebUI" folder, like: /content/gdrive/MyDrive/sd/models/yourmodel.safetensors

[aleqniko]

I can't pay Goole Colab My country is not in the list

[TheLastBen]

@aleqniko use my notebooks in RunPod or Paperspace https://www.runpod.io/console/gpu-secure-cloud?template=runpod-stable-unified https://console.paperspace.com/github/TheLastBen/PPS?machine=Free-GPU

[aleqniko]

@aleqnikoиспользовать мои блокноты в RunPod или Paperspace https://www.runpod.io/console/gpu-secure-cloud?template=runpod-stable-unified https://console.paperspace.com/github/TheLastBen/PPS?machine= Бесплатный графический процессор

Thanks. I will definitely look

@aleqniko correction for runpod : https://www.runpod.io/console/gpu-browse?template=runpod-stable-unified

[aleqniko]

strange but I managed to run the sd without problems

[iqddd]

RunPod is forcing me pay through this shady crap: Their app forces identity verification! Cryptocurrency and identity verification, Karl! How can the two concepts coexist?

[jjhaggar]

Current state of events:

• It seems that Google doesn't want people to use remote UIs from colab (like automatic1111 webUI)
• Since it seems Google detects specifically "stable-diffusion-webui", there are some "fixes" that let you run it, (but that's still against Google TOS, so use it at your own risk!)
• The only legal option for using colab to generate images with Stable Diffusion would be by controlling it from inside the collab. Which could be done, but it would require too much work if you want to have the capabilities of automatic1111 (you would need to write a UI from scratch in python). And even then it just couldn't be as easy to use or comfortable as auto1111 webUI.

Alternatives to Google colab:

• Paid: Runpod & Vast.ai
• Free: The AI Horde, there is a Stable Horde client for automatic1111

[TheLastBen]

@iqddd is that the only payment option ?

[iqddd]

@TheLastBen for me it is.

[XieBaoshi]

Alternatives to Google colab:

* Paid: [Runpod](https://blog.runpod.io/stable-diffusion-ui-on-runpod/) & [Vast.ai](https://vast.ai/docs/guides/stable-diffusion)

* Free: [The AI Horde](https://stablehorde.net/), there is a [Stable Horde client for automatic1111](https://github.com/natanjunges/stable-diffusion-webui-stable-horde)

Thanks, but how can i add commands into that webpage? I want for example, download VAE or LoRA models into it but idk how to do it. (I did it in colab but idk how that page works)

[TheLastBen]

@Mudereded401 click on the jupyter icon on the left panel to use the jupyter interface, it's easier and similar to colab

@aefly you saved my life

[aefly]

@JackG0T no problem ;)

[profcat2]

I'm not getting any illegal code warnings from running the collab anymore, however it doesn't work without paying collab which was the main issue, too many people on the platform. News articles also seem to indicate this is the case. For EU/Asia I would recommend the paperspace or runpod options as other posters suggested

[RobbinTech]

Is this because google has their own AI shit models and are cracking down now?

hey ben, can i not mount my google drive to paperspace?

[TheLastBen]

@firstvanq you can share any gdrive folder, then download it with !gdown --folder (link)
