[charred nest]

LOL

[quartz kindle]

i hate doing rewrites

[charred nest]

it wasnt hard but it was just so much

[quartz kindle]

its been 3 years since i started my api rewrite and its still not done

[rose warren]

I wanted to cry before I started and then I started and enjoyed it

[quartz kindle]

and its constantly eating me in the back of my mind

[rose warren]

Implementing slash commands, djs lib update, switching to postgres and cleaning up the code + adding extra features.

It was actually fun

[charred nest]

i had to move to pooling

and

[lyric mountain]

I like doing rewrites, allows me to apply newer techniques which could never be used on the old codebase

[charred nest]

slash cmds

and ez premium claim

[lyric mountain]

I just wish I had someone else to help me migrating the cards

1000+ cards, each done manually

one day I'll finish

[charred nest]

[rose warren]

Oof

What do you have to do with them?

[lyric mountain]

me?

[rose warren]

Yeah

[lyric mountain]

well, it's a tcg, so attributes and effects

like "When summoned, destroy the card ahead"

[quartz kindle]

i summon exodia de forbidden one

Hello 👋 hope everything is going well with you all today

[boreal iron]

[sharp briar]

how long does it typically take for a new bot to be approved? patiently waiting and keep updating the description every day as i add more features lol

[rustic nova]

-upto

[shell echo]

The average up-to-date approval times are stated [here](#support message).

This does not mean it will take the same amount of time someone else's bot took to be reviewed and does not mean your bot is guaranteed to be reviewed within that time frame.

There is no exact time for how long bot approval will take.

There is a queue and you're not first, nor are you last.

Read more about our reviewal process here

[sharp briar]

sweet thanks

[tame linden]

Hello everyone, i have a question. My bot can help someone leave a message to another person. So, what happen if someone use this feature to sending a scam link, does my bot going to be banned by Discord?

[deft rock]

not sure why it would

Id suggest a strong TOS or something so your not reliable when something like that happens

[rustic nova]

if said content is provided by your bot in a direct message for example, yes

not banned

but at least you're held responsible for that

[deft rock]

Even if he makes a TOS and cant control it?

[tame linden]

Yes, I'm trying to replace the link with ***

[rustic nova]

a TOS would partially solve that

though the best solution is also to only allow sending these messages to people who specifically opted in

[lyric mountain]

don't try, it's impossible

attempting to censor any kind of text is a lost battle, they will find ways to bypass your filter

[deft rock]

true

[wheat mesa]

A filter that is too sensitive is annoying, a filter that isn’t is useless

There’s usually not a great middle ground tbh

[lyric mountain]

not even limiting text options work

as the old man says, "try finger, but hole"

[tame linden]

I have add a warning message below the main message, hope it's work

[deft rock]

Don't Jixi yourself

[stiff dust]

since I update my bot to djs v14 I have this err I don't know the err is because of canvas or djs any idea?

[lyric mountain]

are u checking for type of image?

the error is pretty clear: you're trying to open an unsupported image

[spark flint]

new EmbedBuilder.from(message.embeds[0].toJSON()) returns TypeError: (intermediate value).from is not a function

Discord.js 14.6.0

can't remember where i saw .from but it was deffo in the docs

[lyric mountain]

you can't do new Embedbuilder.<anything>

[spark flint]

ah

[stiff dust]

they can

[stiff dust]

remove that new when using .from

[spark flint]

i fixed it

new EmbedBuilder(message.embeds[0].toJSON())

[lyric mountain]

lmao u just literally contradicted urself (itz)

[stiff dust]

oh I didn't saw the new in your message I thought you said you cant do Embedbuilder.<anything> 😂

[lyric mountain]

lul

[stiff dust]

well u can do EmbedBuilder.from(message.embeds[0]) too

[stiff dust]

no

[spark flint]

meh this works so im sticking with it

[stiff dust]

const background = await Canvas.loadImage(backgrounds[style]);

[lyric mountain]

canvas doesn't support all image types, u need to check that beforehand

[stiff dust]

all of them are just png files

[lyric mountain]

are u sure those images are all valid?

[stiff dust]

yes I check them 5 mins ago and also they are works great when use another command with exact same canvas code for test

but in the event...

[lyric mountain]

show how ur doing in the event

[stiff dust]

exact the same code

do u want to see full code?

[lyric mountain]

are u getting a random item from the list?

or getting a specific one?

[wooden ember]

when did discord lower the emoji limit on servers?

[lyric mountain]

they did?

[wooden ember]

used to be 50 normal 100 with lvl1 boost but not its only 25 normal

my discord is nor broken

woop wring image

[stiff dust]

see the code I gave u in DM

[lyric mountain]

for my emote repos it's the same limit

[lyric mountain]

perhaps u lost a tier

[wooden ember]

welp its broken on my server

i mean i think its still under 50

[lyric mountain]

brb, gonna eat

[wooden ember]

i mean the last time the server was boosted was 3 years ago the gif server pfp finally stoped working like a week ago

[earnest phoenix]

had the same on my server

took like a year and a half to realize it had no boosting level anymore

though level 1 boost is still 100 emojis and 50 for non boosted server

[wooden ember]

bruh guess im gonna have to delete some

[stiff dust]

DJS or Eris why?

[solemn latch]

Eris is no longer being maintained properly.

[stiff dust]

So for now djs is the best lib on js?

[deft rock]

I mean...

[solemn latch]

Its a good option, but I wont say its the best.
The best option will depend on you, and your goals.

[deft rock]

In all reality its all user based. In my opinion it is but for say woo could say its not

[solemn latch]

I mean, I'm writing a bot using DJS right now.

[deft rock]

I was using you as an example 😛

[solemn latch]

I wonder if Tim's lib is done.
Its a bit more advanced, and seems like an interesting way to go.

[deft rock]

djs or?

[solemn latch]

He was writing a library for larger bot devs, or even other lib devs iirc.

It was supposed to be a lightweight and fast library that simplified the discord API, but didnt hold your hand and gave complete freedom unlike DJS.

*IIRC, its been a long time since I last saw him talk about it.

[deft rock]

ah

[lyric mountain]

im back

@stiff dust

there are no dynamic pngs (well, there are, but discord doesn't support it), and I'm not sure canvas supports gif

[lyric mountain]

djs-light iirc

yep

[lament rock]

that isn't it

it's tiny-discord

[lyric mountain]

that's another one then

[lament rock]

nah. That's the lib he was working on from scratch. djs-light is just a cursed djs addon

[solemn latch]

djs-light is dead i think.

👀

https://github.com/timotejroiko/tiny-discord#benchmarks

those benchmarks though

[lament rock]

Tim gave me some code that just works so exceptionally well since I make my own discord libs

[lyric mountain]

wait, detritus is slower than djs?

[solemn latch]

Its heavier isnt it?

It has more features, like the built in command handler and other stuff.

[cinder patio]

what does that benchmark?

[solemn latch]

https://github.com/timotejroiko/discord-websocket-benchmark

[lyric mountain]

events per second

[stiff dust]

it will be png at end

[stiff dust]

also I am using same code here

[lyric mountain]

it doesn't matter what u put there if ur expecting an animated avatar

[stiff dust]

I dont except animated avatar

belive me this isn't the problem

[lyric mountain]

can u reproduce that error consistently?

[quartz kindle]

yeah im still not sure if i will make it for v14

i mean, if multiple people ask for it i will, but so far nobody really asked for it lol, there is an open issue on my github about it

[quartz kindle]

most of it is pretty much done, the only things that are missing is voice support, built-in caching and a built-in sharding manager

theres still some minor internal things i want to rework a bit but it shouldnt really change much

[stiff dust]

wdym?

[solemn latch]

I really have no projects that can use it.

Someone like Mac would probably like tiny-discord though.

[quartz kindle]

the detritus authors said that the culprit is likely how they organize their classes, it seems having lots of "class extends class" is still a bit slow in js, but also the fact they use asynchronous zlib makes everything slower if you use compression

[lyric mountain]

do u know how to make that error happen again?

[stiff dust]

someone join into one of the servers

[lyric mountain]

can u run that code locally?

[uneven tartan]

who was the guy who was making the rich presence app?

i cant remember

[lyric mountain]

try running with the debugger attached to that event

[astral path]

thoughts on astro?

[lyric mountain]

astrobot?

[sudden geyser]

astro what

[earnest phoenix]

yajsf

[quartz kindle]

lmfao

[earnest phoenix]

it was at 9.9k yesterday

huehueheuhe

[stiff dust]

how?

[lyric mountain]

https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/debugging-getting-started/

[boreal iron]

does the app preview actually show the right categories?

ping

[whole quail]

brothers does anyone know whats wrong here

[neon leaf]

is fs the same thing as node:fs?

[charred nest]

does anyone know if you can create options within subcommands uwu

[deft rock]

yes, the node version of it is built in so you do not have to install it anymore

[boreal iron]

A subcommand is a normal command just being categorized in the UI

So yes command options are possible as it is a normal command

[lyric mountain]

tictactoe bot -> Best I can do is moderation category

[boreal iron]

I am wondering as mine was categorized as “Gaming” “Utilities”

In the preview

[lyric mountain]

machine learning™️

[boreal iron]

Well at least for me the categories match my case

Just don’t know if the preview represents the final app site

Thing is I can’t just use app discovery as like anything is the checklist is red

@lyric mountain Any ideas?

[rustic nova]

I'd boldly say the indentation is wrong

make sure it's under the command annotation

[hasty mulch]

Checked that and no change

[hasty mulch]

How do I do that?

[rustic nova]

@commands.command(name="beta-help", description="Shows help about a command or the bot (Beta version)", aliases=["help-beta"], hidden=True)
@commands.is_owner()
async def help_beta(self, ctx, *, command: str = None):

fuck

[hasty mulch]

Lol

[rustic nova]

fuck

[hasty mulch]

New line

[rustic nova]

but you get what I mean

[hasty mulch]

Unexpected indentation

[rustic nova]

i give up, am on mobile

[hasty mulch]

Lol, I'll wait

[rustic nova]

as far as I understand annotations, these should be in the same indentation as the actual def

@commands.command(name="beta-help", description="Shows help about a command or the bot (Beta version)", aliases=["help-beta"], hidden=True)
@commands.is_owner()
async def help_beta(self, ctx, *, command: str = None):

there

or whatever you call the @ stuff lmao, can't remember what's it called rn

[hasty mulch]

Oh, I see it...

@rustic nova

[rustic nova]

damn we back with the scams

[hasty mulch]

Mhm

Anyway, take a look

https://github.com/LIPDProductionsInc/Redwood_Automation/blob/main/cogs/redwood-automation-help.py#L25-L67

[rustic nova]

beta_help is within the scope of the normal help

make sure these are indented into the correct scope, aka beta_help should be in the scope of the class, aka on the same indent as the class constructor

python would try to access the beta_help through the class itself, even though if the indentation would technically cause it to be help().beta_help()

[hasty mulch]

I indented one too far, lol

[rustic nova]

probably something like

arrays_array = []
count = 0
temp_array = []
for item in base_array:
 if temp_array length at least smaller than 10 (aka 0-10)
add to temp_array
else
add array to arrays_array, clear temp_array for another 10 iterations 

pros being, you could make as many arrays as possible by this, as long as it's dividable by 10 if the arrays need to all be the equal size

also this is just some pseudo code

[lyric mountain]

not a python guy srry

[rustic nova]

sounds like a skill issue, become one ez

[boreal iron]

[sharp geyser]

Who the hell would wanna do that

pfft

[lament rock]

I'd only get into python for ml

Currently occupied by C++ and HLSL

[sharp geyser]

I wanna do ML but didn't know you need a nvidia gpu to do any cool shit

😔

[lament rock]

any gpu would realistically suffice, just more is developed for nv

the basic concept is just the supremely parallelism GPUs offer

#development message

[fervent moss]

const page_number = interaction.fields.getTextInputValue('page')
const high = myregex[3]
const low = 0
let zerotest = page_number.startsWith('0')
let number_test = +page_number
if (page_number > low && page_number < high && zerotest === true && number_test === NaN) {
console.log('No');
} else {
console.log('Yes');
}

Why do this give me 'yes' everytime

What I'm doing is getting a page_number value from modal and then checking it that it shouldn't have 0 as first number (from left) , it's a actuall number and not a text , it's number between two values (numbers)

[rustic nova]

your whole condition gets screwed up by zerotest, since you're checking if the page numbers starts as a string based 0, not the integer 0

Can you give an example of values provided by these variables

aswell as their type (using typeof)

[fervent moss]

Which variables? myregex[3] gives out max number from range low is 0... Page number is modal value and yeah

[fervent moss]

typeof of what?

[rustic nova]

all the relevant variables on your if condition

so page_number, low, high, zerotest, number_test

aka their values right before the condition is checked

[fervent moss]

Isn't this what you wanted?

[rustic nova]

well if page_number is a string, aswell as high being a string (likely same applies to low) then theres your issue

lose typing

make sure to convert the numbers to actual integers, as it would cause something like that

bit better visualized the difference on the results, thats why I asked for the typeof the "numbers"
https://i.imgur.com/Yy6nxJA.png

also

[fervent moss]

Hmmm.....

[rustic nova]

oh nevermind thats correct on the last one, that returns the numeric version of the string, would be NaN if thats not a number

still ensure the variables are actual integers if you're using them in logical operators

[fervent moss]

Should i convert all numbers to integer?

[rustic nova]

yes, since you're using these all in the if condition

[fervent moss]

Oki

How do i make string a integer? parseInt?

[rustic nova]

at least page_number and high

• does the job actually, like you have done on number_test

so +high for example would give you the numeric version of it, if it is a valid number

[fervent moss]

Oh

[rustic nova]

term is Unary Operators btw https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Unary_plus

[fervent moss]

I converted everything into int now it give .startwith isn't w function

[rustic nova]

correct, as page_number isn't a string anymore

what is the purpose of zerotest? checking if the number is zero essentially?

[quartz kindle]

numbers cant "start with 0", for example "052" when converted to a number becomes 52

a number can be 0 or not be 0

if you're using that zero as some kind of marker or flag then you have to use strings and not numbers

[fervent moss]

I removed zerro test and made everything integers but it give yes in bot of casses no matter a number is greater

let page_number = interaction.fields.getTextInputValue('page')
page_number = +page_number
let high = myregex[3]
high = +high
const low = 0
//let zerotest = page_number.startsWith(0)
let number_test = +page_number
console.log('page_number =' + typeof page_number)
console.log('low =' + typeof low)
console.log('high =' + typeof high)
//console.log('zerotest =' + typeof zerotest)
console.log('number_test =' + typeof number_test)

if (page_number > low && page_number < high && number_test === NaN) {
console.log('No');
} else {
console.log('Yes');
}

Is it because of let

@rustic nova

[rustic nova]

print the values of everything before the condition

[cinder patio]

name checks out

[spark flint]

can we all agree that djs is the worst at breaking changes

😭

they moved everything to pascal case

[lyric mountain]

u didn't do what I told u to

attach a debugger, step over until you find the line that errors

[quartz kindle]

you cannot do comparison with NaN

NaN is never equal to another NaN

instead you can use Number.isNaN(number_test), but actually you dont even need that, because NaN cannot ever give true for < > operators

you dont even need half of your code tbh

// i prefer using Number() than stuff like +number because its easier to understand
const page_number = Number(interaction.fields.getTextInputValue('page'));
const high = Number(myregex[3]);
const low = 0;

// you can remove these afterwards as well
console.log(`page_number = ${typeof page_number}`)
console.log(`low = ${typeof low}`)
console.log(`high = ${typeof high}`)

// you dont need to test for NaN because NaN will always return false when used with < or >
if (page_number > low && page_number < high) {
  console.log('number is between low and high');
} else {
  console.log('number is not between low and high');
}

[lyric mountain]

I'd argue that > should be >= tbh

[quartz kindle]

if they want inclusive yes

[spark flint]

const client = new Client({

Anyone have a good guide on how to set up a public repository on github / how licenses work / basically just how to make things look profreshional™️

[quartz kindle]

create a new repo, add a readme.md file and a license.md file

licenses depend on how much freedom you want to give people

most stuff today is either MIT, BSD or GPL

or apache

[oak cliff]

what should I be putting in my readme?

[deft rock]

Anything you want honestly

[oak cliff]

Normally for private projects i use it as a todo list

[deft rock]

Just keep in mind that readme will show up for others

idk what its for but maybe say what it will do?

maybe some common bugs or planned feature update?

Maybe how to use whatever this is?

[oak cliff]

sounds like a good place to start

[quartz kindle]

title followed by a slogan or a short description, then an introduction about the purpose of the repo, what problems it targets

then a presentation of the repo's core features and advantages

then a practical introduction , code examples, docs

thats usually the kind of things i do, and also what most repos do

[oak cliff]

thanks!

[lyric mountain]

WTFPL tho

[quartz kindle]

you can also check out some templates out there, like https://github.com/othneildrew/Best-README-Template

also, if you need help chosing a license, check out https://choosealicense.com/

todo should be in a separate markdown file like TODO.md imo

[quartz kindle]

also i just found this, looks pretty awesome

https://www.readme-templates.com/

[quartz kindle]

can also be a section in the main readme, thats what i do

[radiant kraken]

generally if i were to write a library, i would license it under MIT; and if i were to write a standalone program, i would license it under GPL

[oak cliff]

does gpl actually stand for that

[quartz kindle]

yeah most my stuff is MIT except for one thing that is LGPL

Does anyone know what the replacement for interaction.component.setLabel() is in djs v14?

it seems to be removed

[quartz kindle]

new ButtonBuilder().setLabel()

[spark flint]

ah ok

ty

[quartz kindle]

to use an existing button as a template you can do new ButtonBuilder(interaction.component)

[spark flint]

and how would I replace the clicked button with this new one?

[boreal iron]

By editing the interaction response

Just provide your new components

If you don’t pass embeds or content as option then both will not change

[spark flint]

yeah but its not that

the buttons aren't always the same

[quartz kindle]

all types of edits require replacing the entire message

so you have to edit the message with a new message that contains a different set of buttons

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[boreal iron]

No?!

At least not with djs

Which is what he’s using regarding the methods and classes I saw above

Passing just the content as option when editing your response, only the content will be changed

Not so additional embeds, components, etc.

Maybe djs internally fetches the message once you edit it but it’s not required to edit the entire message

[lyric mountain]

I mean, they are technically using all of their thread lmao

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[lyric mountain]

ye ik

it'd be funny if they asked "oh, so what if I switch to python?"

[quartz kindle]

well yes, some fields are ignored if not passed, but for example to change one button you have to basically send a whole new components array

[lament rock]

nodejs and webjs implement a worker_threads module that spreads the load across all of the cores

node canvas is a native module so it can technically make use of threading in C/C++

but i dont know if it does, likely not

[radiant kraken]

but you know that the v8 engine dies if you mix v8 stuff with native system threads right

[quartz kindle]

it doesnt die lol, unless you're doing weird shit

[radiant kraken]

it does for me, the only way for it to work for me is to use libuv which utilizes node's event loop iirc

[quartz kindle]

afaik it should be done like this: js calls cpp main, cpp uses threads to do something, return something to cpp main, return callback to js

[radiant kraken]

if only it was that easy

[quartz kindle]

even if you use worker_threads in js, cpp should always return to js from the main cpp thread

ie js worker threads still call to cpp main

js workers cannot use cpp threads directly

[radiant kraken]

my brain died

[quartz kindle]

at least thats what i read somewhere

threading is indeed difficult

JavaScript functions can normally only be called from a native addon's main thread. If an addon creates additional threads, then node-addon-api functions that require a Napi::Env, Napi::Value, or Napi::Reference must not be called from those threads.

When an addon has additional threads and JavaScript functions need to be invoked based on the processing completed by those threads, those threads must communicate with the addon's main thread so that the main thread can invoke the JavaScript function on their behalf.

[lament rock]

every language is single threaded until you use the threading functionality

just press the f29 key

[quartz kindle]

why f29

f32 is superior

[deft rock]

No, f69 is superior.

JS is a safe language even with threading (for the most part) where segfaults are really hard to pull off as memory spaces are separate

but the option is still there

[quartz kindle]

yeah but js threading is like running stuff on containers, they can only communicate via messaging

this is why i use napi.rs

it makes most of the pain to disappear

[boreal iron]

Ah that’s what U mean … yeah

[split tiger]

When I make a slash command require the admin permission within discord's new apps interface, it totally locks every non admin from using it (without a server admin changing the permissions ofc), right?

I want to make sure I don't give everyone config access, as that would be... awkward

[boreal iron]

You’re speaking about the default_member_permissions field, right?

This will unfortunately lock the command to members with the exact same permissions, yes

[deft rock]

anyone have a document or know how I can give a role to someone via buttons? discord.js V14.6

[boreal iron]

The button triggers an interaction event which holds the guild member object (if used in guild) you can use to access roles and do whatever has to be done

interaction.member.roles.add(…);

[deft rock]

ok, so would it be interaction.member.roles.add("roleid");

[boreal iron]

Make sure to check if it is a guild interaction

[deft rock]

How would I go about that?

also would I use cache?

[boreal iron]

if(interaction.inGuild()) …

[boreal iron]

I guess add() takes any role resolvable

[long lagoon]

Can anyone help me with modal box in d.py2.0 cogs ?

[rustic nova]

help with what exactly

[lyric mountain]

most if not all vps services have a recovery partition

simply access the server throught it and undo whatever u did that locked u out

probably bad firewall configuration

[lyric mountain]

the only thing that's wrong is after email

the rest is normal standard sql

[neon leaf]

how can I still do something like that though?

[lyric mountain]

you don't

you simply add the columns

[long lagoon]

I'm not able to do it. It throws me error

I think i'm probably just going to use esdca keys instead

[lyric mountain]

why are u doing that btw?

[lament rock]

the recov partition also wasn't accessible

[lyric mountain]

then contact support

because u literally cant fuck up recovery partition

since it's recreated on demand

[rustic nova]

what's this topic about recovery partitions?

on a VPS for example?

if it isn't available, you might need to mount it manually

this was often the case on my previous dedicated server, as the recovery partition was actually a physical partition that didn't get mounted itself

[lyric mountain]

they're locked out of it

for some unknow reasons, they cant ping nor access it in any way

[rustic nova]

nah they need to manually mount it, doubt they'd just lock partitions

can't remember what the command is, but they should check the available drives

lsblk or smth

[lyric mountain]

they cant access the server at all

usually there's a button or smth to create a new recovery partition

[lyric mountain]

they are locked out of the server, not the partition itself

[lament rock]

it got fixed after 2h

just trying to get any response from it failed. No ssh, no pings, nothing. Even with recovery partition

[lyric mountain]

yes, that's what happens if u sever connections to the outside

[rustic nova]

then the network access is dead, though recovery modes often have different credentials provided after changing the mode

including the IP as I have experienced

though think that's only something on virtual servers

[lament rock]

yeah nothing like that through the interfaces they gave me

same ip, default port 22, password of my choice

support replied after 3h after it alr fixed itself and they said everything was fine essentially

[shell echo]

The average up-to-date approval times are stated [here](#support message).

This does not mean it will take the same amount of time someone else's bot took to be reviewed and does not mean your bot is guaranteed to be reviewed within that time frame.

There is no exact time for how long bot approval will take.

There is a queue and you're not first, nor are you last.

[tulip ledge]

Hi so I am making a website for a school project and we need to add a "webshop" basically a way to show the products on the website but you don't have to implement a payment system just a way to show the items in stock found in a database but ofcourse with the database credentials being safe and not being able to be found in the source when inspecting element how do I do that?

[rustic nova]

by having a backend API that the website reaches out to

that backend API then talking directly to the database, having the credentials only internally

you could also directly go with template-based Webservers such as ejs or on python, flask

or even php

if your goal is really to only dynamically display the inventory on load and not live

[thorny field]

My bot just got verified :)))

I don’t know entirely what that means but it’s cool

[rain moss]

@thorny field discord or top.gg

[thorny field]

Discord

I got the check mark

[digital swan]

Means it can be in more than 100 servers

[thorny field]

I knew that but I thought there would be more

[digital swan]

Nah I don’t think so

[thorny field]

Dang well the check mark is cool

[quartz kindle]

verification is basically a way for discord to get your personal information

so they can hold you accountable for your bot

its basically like registering a business, you get permission to operate and sell, but they know everything about you and can hold you responsible for what your business does

[indigo cobalt]

You get some perks of being verified. I think you're ratelimits are less strict and like Tim said.

[lyric mountain]

Nope

The only things u get are being able to go above 100 servers and be listed in app discovery

[indigo cobalt]

Idk why I thought I heard something about rate limits

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe a old feature.

[lyric mountain]

What u heard is special ratelimits for very big bots

[solemn latch]

Ratelimits can increase if you ask for that.
But you need a valid use case and to be quite large of a bot.

(Or application)

[indigo cobalt]

Ahhh

When I had a almost verified bot I checked and it said that ratelimits eould be less strict, perhaps I read it wrongly.

[solemn latch]

They are already pretty relaxed.

[indigo cobalt]

The only difficult part I had it was caching users.

But that was my problem to be honest.

[solemn latch]

Most bots in hundreds of thousands of servers don't go near the ratelimits.

[quartz kindle]

caching users is easier than catching them

:^)

[indigo cobalt]

I had a 60 - 70 servers and I always would hit the cache limit.

[solemn latch]

Cache limit? 🤔

[quartz kindle]

there is no cache limit lol, the limit is how much ram you have

[sharp saddle]

hey guys, i'm with a error:

[quartz kindle]

skill issue

[indigo cobalt]

I had a lot of ram. It simply ran and it would cache 40k users and then it wouldn't cache more.

[sharp saddle]

lol

[indigo cobalt]

It's was pretty weird.

[indigo cobalt]

Hmm that doesn't really help specially when you don't show the error.

I just see 40 errors.

Not any specific error.

[sharp saddle]

wait i'll send it

https://github.com/hoangvvo/next-connect/issues/195#issuecomment-1152623253

Check this issue comment

Maybe it will help

[sharp saddle]

ok

[lyric mountain]

cache is entirely dependant on the library

some cache less, some more, some dont have a cache at all

[indigo cobalt]

Weird then

[quartz kindle]

also depends on configuration, for example members and presences intents influence how many members you receive when you login

and to get all members you still need to manually fetch them with the members intent enabled

otherwise you will only have online members

[wooden ember]

when i do if (!list) return i just get list is not defined instead of it just returning

why does that happen

i know list is not defined that why im trying to filter it out

[radiant kraken]

list is not a variable

[wooden ember]

yeah cuz its not defined

how would i return when list wasnt defined

cuz thats what i though you had to do

[radiant kraken]

yes you haven't assign any value to list like let list;

[wooden ember]

i know

so why doent it return

thats the point of the if statment

cuz list may or may not exist

[radiant kraken]

then add let list; first before the if statement

[wooden ember]

but i dotn want it to exits though

[radiant kraken]

why

[boreal iron]

You need to understand the difference between undefined and non-existing

[sterile lantern]

then why are you adding the conditional then lol

yeah if(!list) would only work if the value is like null or undefined or false

[radiant kraken]

^

[sterile lantern]

if it doesnt exist at all then it gives u an error

[quartz kindle]

typeof will work

but yeah its a useless thing to even check for

[wooden ember]

so ive got to reformat arguments so i can pass them through to child prosses which results in list but if there are no arguments list wont exist but i need it to run the command with no list

[quartz kindle]

because if you dont write the variable in the first place, it will never exist, the code wont write it for you

unless you're using weird eval shenanigans

[wooden ember]

bruh

this is what im doing

[boreal iron]

“shenanigans”

[wooden ember]

probably cursed

[quartz kindle]

ah

[wooden ember]

but it should work

[quartz kindle]

that has nothing to do with it

youre declaring let inside a block scope

[wooden ember]

i know

[quartz kindle]

it wont exist outside that block

[radiant kraken]

use var

[sterile lantern]

declare it outside the if statement

thats the easiest fix

[wooden ember]

ok so if i just do let list; out of the block if(!list) will fire?

nice

[sterile lantern]

yes

[quartz kindle]

it still looks like you're doing redundant stuff

you could just do const list = something || args.map(...).join(",")

[radiant kraken]

there's no need for map

just join it

[quartz kindle]

he seems to be adding single quotes to each item

[radiant kraken]

why though

[wooden ember]

so if i ran the command im trying to run in the command line of my server would look like this beep -l 375 -f 392 -n -l 750 -f 523 -n -l 463

[quartz kindle]

idk, formatting?

[wooden ember]

but child prosses needs it to look like "beep", ["-l 375" "-f 392", "-n", "-l"]

or something like that

[quartz kindle]

there are lots of parsers that do that for you

[wooden ember]

i have no idea how that works

[radiant kraken]

afaik Node.js has one builtin

[quartz kindle]

yeah

[wooden ember]

the reason im doing this and not just making the useres manually add the formatting is some of the arguments can have alot of elements

[radiant kraken]

or use @earnest phoenix's parser™️

[wooden ember]

mmm

ima see if my thing works first

havent tryed it yet

[lyric mountain]

I find it funny when bot devs cannot make console applications

when bots are basically console applications but remote

[quartz kindle]

i find it funny when

[earnest phoenix]

Honestly looking back at the parser I made (Opteric) I realized that it's not actually "standard" (well there's no actual standard, but doesn't behave the same way as most parsers do)

It also considers single-dash flags as options when there is content after them, and that it collects everything after an option instead of something with no spaces, it should collect the whole expression when a string is present

I'm gonna make a standard one just for fun I guess

[wooden ember]

bruh it works fine i just want to have use of arguments

i just suck at coding

i have the beep package installed on my server means i can been the bios buzzer
got that to run fine however you can controll the length duration frequency and amount off beeps with a long list of arguments

there are scripts on the internet that you can just past into a cli and it will make the server play a little tune on the bios buzzer

want to beable to just past it into discord thats all but i need to get it all formatted to work with child prosses

[wooden ember]

bruh still cant get this crap to work

the code works fine i mean its just i cant make it output the right formatting

Command.spawn("beep",["-n","-n","-n"]) works

however Command.spawn("beep",[args]) where args = ['-n','-n','-n'] does not work

[lyric mountain]

how will the beep even work?

[wooden ember]

huh?

[lyric mountain]

didn't u say it's a command to make bios beeps?

[wooden ember]

yee

[lyric mountain]

except the code will be ran nowhere close for anyone to hear

[wooden ember]

my server is under my computer desk

its just a gimmic that im putting too much effort into

but its bugging me now

the only thing that works is if i do only one argument

[lyric mountain]

why dont u just use node built in argument parser?

[wooden ember]

but any more than that and i just get beep: invalid option -- ' '

whats that

[lyric mountain]

show what ur writing

[wooden ember]

what as the bot command?

[lyric mountain]

yes

[wooden ember]

-beep is the command and i just write the arguments like they would be in the cli
resulting in something that looks like
-beep -n -n -n
which makes the thing beep 4 times

or should do

-beep -n works

[lyric mountain]

I wanna see what ur writing, exactly

[wooden ember]

it beeps 2 times

[lyric mountain]

also -n -n cannot work

because arguments are treated like a map - no duplicates

[wooden ember]

bruh but then how does hard coding it work then?

using child prosses to do this
Command.spawn("beep",["-n","-n","-n"])
runs perfect

[lyric mountain]

input.split(/\s+/)

[wooden ember]

what does that do?

[lyric mountain]

split by space

cmon, u have a bot, use the same command handling

[wooden ember]

i know im tyred

i have that in and that works now

however i still need each "arg" to be indevidual things to input into child prosses though

[lyric mountain]

think as if u were making a bot

all bots are CLIs

[wooden ember]

i know but child prosses needs all the commands in an array or some crap unlike in a cli where i can just type it as a string

i can split it again and iterate it into an aray like the way i filter the args for commands

[lyric mountain]

then pass it in an array

[wooden ember]

true however the data from the msg args is already in an aray and that doesnt work

[lyric mountain]

are u using a pre-made command handler?

because there HAS to be a way to message.content

[wooden ember]

i have that

in the handler to get the args i have this
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/g);

that makes it an array

and in the commands files i have message though its named msg

[lyric mountain]

what's the issue again?

[radiant kraken]

Voltrex when his project/contribution does not comply with a standard:

[wooden ember]

ok so child prosses need to have stuff in an array or something like this
Command.spawn("beep",["-n","-n","-n"])
that works fine
now i need a way to get arguments from a command and translate it into that

however nothing works and idk why

it works fine with just one argument leading me to believe that its treating everything as one argument instead of multiple

[earnest phoenix]

Well yeah, standards are extremely important

[lyric mountain]

-beep -n -n -n -n -> .split(/\s+/g) -> ["-beep", "-n", "-n", "-n"] -> .shift() -> ["-n", "-n", "-n"]

[radiant kraken]

I'll make you comply with my standard

[earnest phoenix]

I'll rewrite your standard

[radiant kraken]

Can't because it doesn't comply with my standard

[wheat mesa]

my comp sci class actually went over expressions and parsing them

I was surprised

evaluating and converting between infix, postfix, and prefix expressions

[earnest phoenix]

It doesn't have to, standards can be modified in anyway without having to comply with itself

[radiant kraken]

my standard:

1. don't modify this standard
2. read no. 1

[earnest phoenix]

I'll sudo rewrite it, mmm

[radiant kraken]

modifying is modifying

which does not comply

[earnest phoenix]

It doesn't matter! It must comply with my orders

[wooden ember]

that just returns -beep

[lyric mountain]

because you're getting the value of shift

you're supposed to simply discard what shift returns

[wooden ember]

bruh

its 2am

sry

ok so it is now a proper array but i get an error from beep saying
beep: invalid option -- ','
meaning it is still being sent as one big argument

[earnest phoenix]

Show code

[wooden ember]

since , should never be seen by the beep program

one sec

let conditions = msg.content.split(/\s+/g)
conditions.shift()
console.log(conditions)
let errs = Command.spawn("beep",[conditions])

the errs stuff is just to i can log the stderr from beep

[earnest phoenix]

You're passing an array inside an array

conditions is already an array

[radiant kraken]

arrayception

[wooden ember]

bruh lemmy remove the [] and see if that helps

[radiant kraken]

it will

[wooden ember]

i hope

bruh it works now

nice

[radiant kraken]

see

[wooden ember]

thx people

[radiant kraken]

@earnest phoenix replace Opteric with the Node.js builtin version when

[wooden ember]

the reason it was an array in an array is cuz i was doing it a difernet way originally

but it works now

theoretically i can just use the args from the commands handler instead of remaking it

[earnest phoenix]

Soon™️

The parseArgs() method is in the node:util built-in module if you're interested

[radiant kraken]

propose it to be renamed to opteric

[wooden ember]

bruh i hate the fact that basically 2 hours of my life went to making somthing that finally works with less than a line of code

Command.spawn("beep",args) is all i needed

reeeeeeee

"code stuff for fun i thought"
"it will be fun i thought"
the internal screaming intensifies

[earnest phoenix]

You said you're tired, you're better off resting instead of writing code because you mostly won't be able to focus, so you'll just keep running into more issues than you initially did

[radiant kraken]

pov: you're trying to debug a segmentation fault in c++

[wooden ember]

true but if it bugs me im motivated and if i go to sleep it becomes a "tomorrow problem" and tomorrow as we all know never comes

unless it does but then my crappy bot is the least of my worries at that point

[wheat mesa]

don't write code sleep deprived

you'll struggle to pick up where you left off, because you won't remember your thought process

get a good night's sleep and return in the morning or whenever you have more time

[wooden ember]

true however i cant remember my thought prosses at the best of times

but atleast i can now play a segment of the mario theme song over a crappy buzzer from discord

[solemn latch]

You really should be documenting the goals first anyway.

[radiant kraken]

You don't really need to document it, you just need to have the goals and how the code would work in mind

[radiant kraken]

i code when i'm sleep deprived all the time

[solemn latch]

Documenting all this stuff can be really essential when working with groups of developers.

It's good practice.

[radiant kraken]

But he's working alone

[solemn latch]

Hopefully not forever ^_^

[radiant kraken]

._.

[solemn latch]

It's also nice for working on projects you haven't touched in months.

I try to keep a Readme file for every project.

More detailed than I need though.

[radiant kraken]

Every project literally has a readme lmao

[wooden tapir]

is there a good guide to using slash commands in discord.py? I wrote a bot before this feature existed and I'm a bit confused on how the new system works

am I going against the grain trying to subclass Bot instead of instantiating it and defining commands there? that whole paradigm seems weird to me

[earnest phoenix]

Hello, so I’m making a website for a server and wanted to make the background of the website a gif. I googled for some cool gif’s and chose one. The issue I’m facing is when loading the gif, the gif always duplicates into these small little boxes. I’ll send my code in less than 24 hours (due to school.) but for the time being, it’ll be highly appreciated if someone is able to provide me with the proper code

[earnest phoenix]

This is for CSS

[lyric mountain]

Bad idea

Idk how old you are, but around 2005-ish we had an era where the internet was flooded with gifs

Needless to say it wasn't only awfully slow, but also extremely polluted

Gifs are heavy, like, really heavy, use them sparsely and definitely not as a background image

If you, however, really needs to have an animated background then re-encode the gif as webp, it is way more optimized for web usage, as the name suggests

[boreal iron]

Not really much of an issue in 2022 anymore as caching nowadays reduces the request load quite a lot

And waiting for loading a website the first time ain’t that much of a big deal

The real issue is to bring the gif into a responsive state to have a nice animated on any resolution

Which requires you to use media queries for example and multiple gif files in diffrrrnt sizes to prevent stretching or generally confusing pictures

Nowadays might make more sense to work with a gradient background animated via css

If necessary needed

[earnest phoenix]

Oh damn

Alright thanks for letting me know

[earnest phoenix]

Feels like the same when there were people adding background music to their website

[green kestrel]

Hello, I have a very big question, so I'll start.
I would like to use sharding in my disocrd bot, but there are some things that I don't know how to solve.
At present, for the first time in my life, I want to deal with sharding and I don't know how to approach it.
which I am asking someone to give me directions for, since I couldn't find a precise guide/description on the internet

so there is a webdashboard that establishes a continuous connection between the user on the dashboard and the bot, which runs rather smaller data, such as whether he has a right or when he wants to create a statistical channel, the dashboard uploads it to the database and I tell the bot to update it via socket the statistical rooms will then be downloaded from the database to the specified server, but only those that have the create type and will be created

the second floor is the data base, the bot is 99% exposed almost everywhere and I don't know how I can easily use it in shardin, because of course there are as many connections to the db as there are shards, which is not advantageous even with a socket, but the port is already reserved, isn't it?

so how would that be possible

postscript: my English is very bad

[rustic nova]

I would probably suggest a central internal API for that, having your shards request to that central API to get and update data, then having that API make the changes on the database

your webdashboard could then use that database too

depending on load, would also suggest to deploy some caching between your dashboard and the API calls

dont have your shards touch the database directly imo, as that could first, cause the " because of course there are as many connections to the db as there are shards" aswell as be slow

[radiant kraken]

i used to maintain a Top.gg C++ library, and it had autopost and basic information fetching like discord bots and users

[earnest phoenix]

and maybe you can give me an example or a description for this

[rustic nova]

was thinking about sketching that yeah

[radiant kraken]

oh hey look https://github.com/top-gg/cpp-sdk this was updated an hour ago

[flat copper]

hello,
i have deployed my website on firebase but the javascript is not working

[green kestrel]

yes, this was created for me

[radiant kraken]

pog

good luck maintaining it

[green kestrel]

i'll make something this weekend that depends on dpp as its lib

[earnest phoenix]

thank you very much and I would be very grateful for it because then my current biggest problem would be solved, which is that my bot can work in sharding and I can continue working on the things that my bot will need

[radiant kraken]

why dpp specifically

why not just C++ in general

[green kestrel]

because its the biggest lib and it makes posting to http a very simple thing

as opposed to having to pull in some dep like curl or cpphttplib

when the majority of cpp bot devs are already using dpp, would be like a js lib depending on discord.js

[radiant kraken]

fair

[lyric mountain]

yes, and it sucked

[rustic nova]

Not a guarantee that it will solve your problem, but thats how I personally would approach it.

Caching is optional, just incase you might pre-plan on more usage

[lyric mountain]

good thing most browsers started preventing audio autoplay

[rustic nova]

• Shards being able to talk to the Internal API
• The Internal API making necessary changes and/or obtaining relevant data for any shard from the database
• The dashboard obtaining data relevant to the users using the dashboard

[earnest phoenix]

so essentially you need a separate api that the shards can call e.g. url and the api manage the database and dashboard data display and database data editing

if I understood correctly

[rustic nova]

that would avoid each shard to connect to the database, aswell as allow you to expand regarding load-balancing on the Dashboard

[earnest phoenix]

Thank you very much, I will try to put it together and hopefully it will solve the problems

[radiant kraken]

is pointer dereferencing big-endian or little-endian?

please don't tell me it's inconsistent across systems

[green kestrel]

my approach was originally to do this, but without a lot of caching resource to throw at the internal api, it can be hard to scale

instead i ended up just scaling up the db instance, and having all shards connect to the same database

[green kestrel]

ofc it is

its architecture dependent, this is why we have ntohs() and ntohl() etc

to convert them to a consistent network byte order that isnt different from system to system

however, every system you see in the real world outside of big iron is the same endienness now, arm and intel are all little-endian

[radiant kraken]

WHY

why can't the world be consistent

[green kestrel]

because in the bad old days nobody could decide on architecture standards

you can safely assume little endian so long as you dont support anything strange

hp-ux, ibm z-series mainframes or sparc are big endian

everything else in the "real world" is little endian including arm, intel, amd, mips

[earnest phoenix]

yo i got a question

this is the context

ie a server selection page for a dashboard

what would be the

visually

best way to denote a guild that the bot is in vs not

[earnest phoenix]

wait
api how to call shard/bot ? (Realtime process)

[earnest phoenix]

greyed out when bot is not in the guild and other one normal

and when you hover over a greyed out guild you can "Invite"

[lyric mountain]

Realtime process
websockets

[earnest phoenix]

the question is still how the api addresses the bot/shard

[lyric mountain]

and I answered it

for realtime communication between the api and the bot you use websockets

[earnest phoenix]

ok but how in sharding
there, how can I talk to the bot in realtime?

[tribal crow]

how would i get all the info about a user by their id?

[earnest phoenix]

because I can send a send request in vain, but how can I receive it?

[tribal crow]

long time since ive coded

[lyric mountain]

it doesn't matter sharding or not

you apparently don't know what a websocket is

[earnest phoenix]

I work with this under the socket io system

[earnest phoenix]

client.guilds.members.cache.get(USER_ID).then(member => console.log(member)
)

[tribal crow]

some are not in my guild tho

[fervent moss]

You can't then

[lyric mountain]

socket io is...a different case

[earnest phoenix]

you can only retrieve it if you are in the guild where the bot is

[earnest phoenix]

sorry, I didn't know that

[lyric mountain]

while it does use websockets (most of the time it uses polling) it's probably not what you'd use if ur looking for optimization

[tribal crow]

they're in the same guild as the bot and the bot has their id

[lyric mountain]

socket.io is pretty heavy compared to a crude websocket

[earnest phoenix]

then what would be the solution??
websocket

[lyric mountain]

like, it's kinda a wrapper that uses websocket or polling based on certain criteria, but it's not the best if u want performance

[lyric mountain]

yep

[earnest phoenix]

so then you asked which guild the user is in and now you ask for an example of this, so I don't know it off the top of my head

[lyric mountain]

the setup is a little more difficult than socket.io tho

[earnest phoenix]

it will be funny because I don't even know how to start

[tribal crow]

so i basically just need to get the user from the guild cache that the user is in?

[lyric mountain]

cache operations aren't async

[earnest phoenix]

uff

[earnest phoenix]

in principle yes

[earnest phoenix]

wait shard port err

[lyric mountain]

?

you'll make a single websocket server and have your clients (shards) connect to it

[earnest phoenix]

oh oh to have ws out of bot

[lyric mountain]

yes, you need ws on both sides

then u just need to store the connections in a map so you can target a specific shard from the server

if u need to broadcast simply send the message to all connections

[earnest phoenix]

then the bot connects to the external ws and the web also connects to the external ws and can communicate that way

true?

[lyric mountain]

dashboard <--> server <--> bot

dashboard would just a client in the ws server

you just need to send a header so you can differentiate between the dash and the bot shards

[earnest phoenix]

OK now I understand and
then I think if I also send the guild id to the bot, I can use it to find which devices it runs on

[lyric mountain]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

thank you very much, you helped a lot
I hope this solves it

[lyric mountain]

just a little detail, make you you make a periodic check to reconnect websockets

they by default don't attempt to automatically

[earnest phoenix]

I think there is something for it to automatically reconnect, but I will try several methods and see which one is the easiest and best according to my own knowledge and can be easily developed
since a lot of data will flow through this ws because the site and the bot monitor a lot of things to ensure that everything is in order from a security point of view

that's pretty much the idea

[tribal crow]

Hey! My "application wont respond" to a certain command. Why is this?

[earnest phoenix]

a. Offline
b. Error in code, read console

[tribal crow]

Online, nothing in console

[earnest phoenix]

Then you have something eating your errors

And making them not show up

[tribal crow]

the error has to be here

i know that

[lyric mountain]

how do u know it?

[tribal crow]

because its the only "thinking" part of the command

the others is just getting something simple from my db and creating an embed

[lyric mountain]

programming doesn't allow suppositions to be made

[tribal crow]

explain in english

[lyric mountain]

you cannot "guess" that's the part that's erroring

[tribal crow]

im not guessing

like

ive console logged every other part

[lyric mountain]

you are definitely guessing unless the error message points there

[tribal crow]

there is no message

[boreal iron]

Stop fetch the entire member list but fetch the member using his ID instead

My gosh

[tribal crow]

so await userGuild.members.fetch(user.userID);?

[boreal iron]

If user is your user object, then user.id

[tribal crow]

its not

[boreal iron]

A property userID doesn’t exist

[tribal crow]

its sum from my db

[boreal iron]

Well then… whatever, as long as it’s the user ID

[tribal crow]

alr

[boreal iron]

Which makes your line getting the member from the cache obsolete

[tribal crow]

alr ty

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'members')

let userFtchd = await userGuild.members.fetch(user.userID);

[boreal iron]

Make sure userGuild exists

[tribal crow]

let userGuild = await interaction.client.guilds.cache.get(user.guildID);

[boreal iron]

The user in your database could be in a guild your bot isn’t part of anymore

[tribal crow]

thats true

didnt think of that

[boreal iron]

if(!userGuild) return; or break; in your case

Same goes for fetching the member

The member could have left the guild already

[tribal crow]

does it just skip that member then in the for loop or does it stop the whole loop?

[boreal iron]

You need to catch the fetch call as it will error with a unknown member if he isn’t part of the guild anymore

[boreal iron]

If you wanna skip it, then use continue

Also it would be more efficient to push the member IDs into an array, then fetch em outside the loop passing the array of IDs

[boreal iron]

Instead of creating at least 10 requests

[boreal iron]

Your member var is not called userIn anymore

I assume you haven’t updated your embed field line

I tested by returning member._roles, it returned roles which ARE in staffRoles and highLevels

gambiarra at it's finest

[earnest phoenix]

ooo shards ??
how to work??

client.shard
      .fetchClientValues('guilds.cache.map')
      .then((guild) => console.log(guild));

res
[null]
how to using?

[boreal iron]

Bun smh

[tribal crow]

i updated it, but same result

hmmm

[boreal iron]

includes(role => role.id)

Your array doesn’t hold an object with a property id
