there's a plugin that injects js into the spotify iframes
it's very easy with electron apis
still wasp
oh wow
will you ever release it?
i reckon alot of people would use it if you did (me included)
shadow mango
will you ever release it?
it runs a server on localhost because i didnt want to send my voice messages to an external api but maybe
probably wouldnt be built in
shadow mango
in fact there's a watch together adblock pr
it dont work tho
i made it stream the responses for long voice messages
its not finished but if someone wants to make something cool with it feel free
charred monolithBOT
shadow mango
i was going to add a timing thing when you play it and it highlights which line you're on because it supports that idk i'll figure that out later
segment.start and segment.end
feel free to send a voice message i'll send a ss
verbal pumice
you should add an accessory to the message instead of modifying content imo
also since it allows for a custom component you can do fancy shit with it like the aforementioned highlight
still wasp
im gonna test it rn, gonna try actually get an understanding of the code since it seems like a good example to learn from for plugin dev
shadow mango
you should add an accessory to the message instead of modifying content imo
also...
yeah ideally i'd show it below the voice message but i want it to be by default (but thats just personal preference i could make it an option)
verbal pumice
you can force it to be the first accessory so it shows up above the voice message
shadow mango
wdym by an accessory
like the buttons in the top right when you hover over a message?
verbal pumice
content below the message content like embeds or interaction buttons
theres an api for it
shadow mango
ohhhhhhh
shadow mango
i may not have hardcoded the paths to the libraries
spark pivot
if you let vscode import for you it figures it out

oh in your python lol

you need cudnn and cublas
cublas is only cuda 11 but you can just rename the files from 11 to 12 and it works on cuda 12 ๐

if you want an api im pretty sure this uses the same thing and you can probably make it work but no streaming https://docs.runpod.io/reference/faster-whisper

what does the --watch do on pnpm build, because I assume it rebuilds on changes and somehow hot reloads vencord into your client but I am just speculating and I dont find a "DevCompanion" plugin in vencord
limber skiff
rebuilds on changes and hot reloads css
faint echo
okay
limber skiff
for most things to reapply though, because the way vencord is made, you have to ctrl R
faint echo
oh quick question is there a possibility I will break my current stable vencord install/config by using the dev version and messing with plugins
limber skiff
very unlikely
I develop vencord and plugins in the same config/install I use daily
as long as don't touch other plugin settings, or in case you do, not forget to change the code to work with the new settings you are fine
faint echo
as a test I tried changing a plugin's name but its not injected into my client after reloading with ctrl+r
limber skiff
in any case your settings file in prob just include settings for the plugin you are developing, if it's a new one
that's irrelevant though because extra settings don't matter
limber skiff
as a test I tried changing a plugin's name but its not injected into my client a...
well, if you change a plugin name you have to migrate its settings
faint echo
No I meant just to see if it would appear different in the plugins list
I assume at least that all plugins are built into vencord
since they're in the repo

returning errors in a language is fine as long as the language has facilities to make it easy to work with said errors

how could it be worse?

in classic C
you had a global error code

this is still the case sometimes
fortunately not really that much
but in windows API programming, GetLastError() is needed to get the last error from the last thing you called
its stupid

seriously though, that's the only - nonsensical - justification i can come up with ๐ญ

let result = doThing()?;
literally the go devs want you to write insane boilerplate code
they refuse to add better error handling
they refuse to add ternary (the alternative they want you to use is an if else that sets a variable)
they refused to add slices.Map (js array.map port) because they don't consider it go-like (the alternative they want you to use is a for loop that manually writes to a new array)
go has so much potential but it's ruined by the designers of it being boomers

you can do memory safety without INSANE CBT BORROW CHECKER

i found once i understood rust's syntax a bit more it made sense when i was reading stuff and i found it easy to follow, but writing it was never easy to me
willow garden
fav language rn is nodejs lol
turbid hatch
i constantly fought against the compiler
to do what i thought were relatively basic things
limber skiff
rust is not very easy to write
yeah having to deal with the memory safety and no garbage collection is annoying sometimes
turbid hatch
and i get why its done like this, its strict by design
but holy shit
let me use a variable twice
willow garden

limber skiff
I really like rust syntax though
austere talon
the majority of popular languages have memory safety without such a restrictive system (go, crystal, java, javascript, kotlin, etc) and guess what theyre REALLY USABLE
turbid hatch
yes, but they all have garbage collectors
limber skiff
ngl kotlin is good
austere talon
noone asked for such insane memory safety as rust has it 
austere talon
yes, but they all have garbage collectors
i never understood the issue people have with garbage collectors
turbid hatch
i havent got an issue with it, they're fine

it does not matter in 99.99% of programs

on Linux & Mac we can make it replace the file in place but how will we do it on windows where you can't override a file that's currently open
turbid hatch
separate process
austere talon
austere talon
you can?
austere talon
wait i had that happen actually earlier
austere talon
it renamed my installer to VencordInstaller.exe~
turbid hatch
it just cant be modified or deleted
austere talon
i was so confused why but guess thats why
turbid hatch
yeah i used that trick a lot
austere talon
wait so i can rename it then write to the old file?
turbid hatch
yes
austere talon
it renamed my installer to VencordInstaller.exe~
when i ran go build
so go is smart and renames the file
turbid hatch
so you'd rename your current binary to like
VencordInstaller.exe.old
and then write to new VencordInstaller.exe
austere talon
awesomeee
turbid hatch
let me check
austere talon
i can probably just on start up make it check if {argv[0]}.old exists and delete it
no need for special logic
turbid hatch
the answer is potentially
in the end, when windows loads an exe, it doesnt keep reference to the name of it
it keeps reference to the actual binary data
inode i guess would be the correct term in terms of filesystems
austere talon
i hate that windows even does this
turbid hatch
so you can do what you want with it as long as it isnt changed or deleted
turbid hatch
because windows is meant to be foolproof since some applications read their own binaries later
so it puts a lock on it
austere talon
im gonna kill whichever devs do that
turbid hatch
you could probably just bruteforce the lock
but i dont know what consequence that would have
so i do not recommend it
austere talon
bruteforce??
turbid hatch
you can force a file lock to be destroyed
yes
its even part of microsoft's own tools
file locksmith tells you what has it open but there is another piece of software that allows you to force break locks
its pretty cool
oddly enough renaming it causes file locksmith to not know what's holding it open
presumably because the act of locking a file is based on the name, not the inode
yet it is still locked
however even windows goes like "by some application" rather than discord
anyway windows is a terribly designed system
oh yeah @austere talon another windows top tip
a binary application does not need .exe to be runnable
you shrimply just have to call it with the shell and it'll run it as a binary application
might be useful for certain things

back to windows update insanity
the two main ways of doing it are separate updater executable or the move tactic i described earlier, so for cleanliness i'd do the latter
check for `.old` -> wait for old process to die -> delete
check for updates -> rename self to .old -> download in-place update -> launch new -> exit
for the delete part, the old executable can use the windows task scheduler to schedule its deletion (and the deletion of the task) or it can use the windows API to delete on reboot
i think its MoveFileEx(path, NULL, MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT)
although i think DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT requires admin which sucks
turbid hatch
the two main ways of doing it are separate updater executable or the move tactic...
oh i know a reliable way of doing this
hold a common mutex open like VencordInstaller_Update
when the old app dies it'll drop the mutex
or just keep trying to delete the .old until it works
turbid hatch
or just dont! leave it there and then when a new update is available it deletes it then
turbid hatch
that seems overly complicated
in-place updates on windows are fun
austere talon
spawnNewInstance()
os.Exit(0)
how
turbid hatch
new instance might spawn before old has died
turbid hatch
new instance cant do operations on old executable's file
austere talon
turbid hatch
or just keep trying to delete the `.old` until it works
well yeah that's what i recommended here xd
there's many different ways of doing it
austere talon
or move the old one to %TEMP% and let the system deal with eventually deleting it
austere talon
Windows never automatically cleans the %TEMP% directory by default. In Windows 10 you have to enable this feature in Settings, and with earlier versions you must delete the files yourself or use programs like Disk Cleanup or cCleaner.
fuck you microsoft
austere talon
can we stop using windows already??
austere talon
we have surpassed the need for windows
turbid hatch
because they're fucking stupid
austere talon
to persist across reboots
???
turbid hatch
storage sense fortunately fixes a lot of this and it is on by default
but it can still take a long time
austere talon
the contract is that temp files are temporarily which means they are only guaranteed to exist until next reboot
why would any app expect anything else
swift fjord
i store all my files in temp
turbid hatch
why would any app expect anything else
cause they're installers and they want to hold temporary data until after reboot
at which point they'll delete it
austere talon
i HATE programming docs in german
it's so awkward and horrible
programming docs were not supposed to be localised
austere talon
horror
Temporary files whose names have been created by this function are not automatically deleted. To delete these files call DeleteFile.

im considering removing gui on linux
and only providing the cli
cause the gui is a bit quirky on wayland and i hate the fact that we need separate binaries for x11/wayland
turbid hatch
dont see why not
if you installed linux you should be able to handle a terminal
that was it
@austere talon ah ok i have unearthed a very very old thing
it was an in place updater i wrote
so it is literally just
delete an existing .old if one exists
move self to .old
download update in place
run updated executable
die
although for safety reasons
you should download the update first to a temp file
(go should have a facility for generating temp files?)
and then do the entire movement shenanigans
austere talon
ofc
turbid hatch
because if the update fails at least your app still works
and you havent just destroyed accidentally uninstalled it
so lets see
austere talon
and you havent just ~~destroyed~~ accidentally uninstalled it
thats also what unpatch does
instead of
rm app.asar
rename _app.asar app.asar
it does
rename app.asar app.asar.tmp
rename _app.asar app.asar
rm app.asar.tmp
and if a step fails it restores the backup

this is what i was cooking
i think this would work?
with edits of course but you get the point

wtf this should never error
why not just check source code
func executable() (string, error) {
var procfn string
switch runtime.GOOS {
default:
return "", errors.New("Executable not implemented for " + runtime.GOOS)
case "linux", "android":
procfn = "/proc/self/exe"
case "netbsd":
procfn = "/proc/curproc/exe"
}
path, err := Readlink(procfn)
// When the executable has been deleted then Readlink returns a
// path appended with " (deleted)".
return stringsTrimSuffix(path, " (deleted)"), err
}
it does silly
austere talon
turbid hatch
yes but it shouldnt
its basically the equivalent of getting os.Args[0] but absolute, so if it errors something is extremely wrong with the environment we're in
austere talon
oh wait what
// When the executable has been deleted then Readlink returns a
// path appended with " (deleted)".
turbid hatch
cant delete
although i dont know what happens if you rename the executable and call os.Executable
though i suppose at that point a lot of apps would get confused
austere talon
oh okay even delete wont cause an error
austere talon
its not reading the link itself, it's reading /proc/self/exe

anyhow

func main() {

tbf if you're panicking anyway you can make an unwrap func

tbf if you're panicking anyway you can make an unwrap func
oh that was sort of just placeholder
i didnt want to write actual error handling logic here but we probably should
austere talon
go really just needs some sugar for returning the error to the caller or handling it in a central place
like rusts ?
turbid hatch
yeah exactly
a lot of go would be resolved if it just had rust's error handling
that''s the one thing rust did exquisitely right
turbid hatch
apparently go 2 might have try/catch
austere talon
so it would be trivial to even auto return tuple errors
func thing() (Type, error) {
i := strconv.Atoi("not a number")? // returns Default(Type), err
}
or heck even this would be accpetable
func thing() (Type, error) {
i, return := strconv.Atoi("not a number") // returns Default(Type), err
}
or similar keyword
