I'm making an http request with await fetch(imageUrl) and would like to turn that into an Attachment for use in an embed thumbnail. What is the most efficient way to do that? I'm kinda struggling with streams and buffers.

Dont even need to fetch it

The AttachmentBuilder accepts URLs

I can't just put the image url into the embed because the service blocks the discord crawler. I need my bot to download and rebupload it

Hmm, might still work via attachment though

I didn't notice that strings are BufferResolvables, I'll try that
