⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

Can you please give as much detail as possible about what happens? A screen recording would be ideal. What device are you using? And which browser? Also, are you using a VPN? Does anything change if you switch browsers? And what about switching internet connection (e.g. using mobile data)? If you're on desktop/laptop and using Chrome, you can press F12, or Ctrl+J to open the browser console to see if there are any red messages. Screenshot those if you see any and link them here.

Thank you sooo much for reaching out! I'm using a Xiaomi (Mi) notebook pc and a chrome browser. No VPN and I can't use mobile data. I've changed to internet explorer and It was the same situation... stuck at starting. I opened the browser console, but there were no red messages, just orange . it all looks like this. I hope It can be fixed😒 ! Thank you again for looking into this !!

Hmm, can you click the console tab and screenshot all logs there for me? You'll probably have to take several screenshots. By the looks of it there are 18 errors (most of these will be irrelevant/harmless though), but you might need to scroll up.

Please also try these two things, and report exactly what happens:

  • Try clicking the profile pic in the top-right of a normal chrome window (next to the 3 vertical dots) and click "Guest". This will open a browsing session with all Chrome extensions disabled.
  • Try downloading Firefox and testing that.

And to be clear, you don't see anything other than "Starting..." right? I.e. no error messages like "Failed" after a while?

Hi! Are you still there? Thank you so much and my apologies for the late reply. I've tried everything you've suggested and still no luck (Guest browsing session, Firefox download....even allowing 3rd party cookies on the site). I'm not sure what the console tab is...but I'm guessing it's showing the code. Are these the screenshots you want?

[–] perchance 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for that! So the problem is that the anti-bot verification is failing. Next step is to work out why. Can you show screenshots of the console in Guest mode? i.e. click the profile pic in the top-right of a normal chrome window (next to the 3 vertical dots) and click “Guest”. This will open a browsing session with all Chrome extensions disabled. Then open the console and see if you get the same "Cloudflare Turnstile" errors. Screenshot the logs you see there.

Also, some questions:

  1. Is there anything unusual about your internet connection? Or is it just a regular home ISP? Or business connection? etc.
  2. If you visit https://ip-api.com/ and scroll down to the data on your ISP, does it say this at the bottom:
    "mobile": false,
    "proxy": false,
    "hosting": false

I.e. are they all false, or is there a true value?

[–] Diocass 1 points 8 months ago

Hi! Thanks for getting back to and identifying the problem! its impressive! To answer your last two questions: 1st: My internet is not different or unusual but a regular ISP. 2nd: I screen shot the api and the values were all false as seen in the attachment

The console screenshots are also attached because the same turnstile issue is still happening:

oh Sorry! I found the console errors! they are below:
