All free hosting platforms are trash, if you want a cheap paid one you can have a look at Linode or Hetzner

[wheat mesa]

oracle's free VPS tier is okay for small (non-music) bots

[earnest phoenix]

And then Oracle comes out and terminates your account for reasons they don't even mention

[wheat mesa]

been hosting my small bot on there for about a year now, had no issues

Just saying I haven't had any issues with those things

checks bank account to find $42,673 in charges from oracle

[earnest phoenix]

Better than forgetting to turn off an AWS EC2 instance

[wheat mesa]

I moved off of the amazon free tier VPS because I was afraid of going over somehow and getting charged ten million dollars

[spark flint]

lmao

[lyric mountain]

contabo

[neon leaf]

is it possible to publish a message when in a news channel directly in the <NewsChannel>.send() ?

[lyric mountain]

yes, if the bot has permission to talk there

[neon leaf]

how would I publish it?

[digital swan]

msg.crosspost()

[neon leaf]

directly in the .send()

[deft wolf]

Yes, u can await message.send() and then crosspost this message

I mean

msg = await channel.send("Lmao")
await msg.crosspost()

This should work

[neon leaf]

sure

thanks!

[deft wolf]

If u don't use await then u can do this that way

channel.send("Lmao").then(msg => {
msg.crosspost()
})

[wheat mesa]

don't fall into the .then pyramid of doom please

spare yourself the pain ahead of time

[deft wolf]

True

[lyric mountain]

then is fine if u respect the structure

[neon leaf]

oh bet, like 90% of my functions use async/await

[lyric mountain]

channel.send("stuff")
    .then(m => smth)
    .then(m => other thing)
    .then(m => whatever)

instead of calling thens inside thens

[wheat mesa]

you're assuming people aren't going to just throw a giant function inside of each .then

[lyric mountain]

excessive use of await defeats the purpose of async

[neon leaf]

well in most cases await makes alot more sense

like

[lyric mountain]

it still defeats the purpose of async

[quartz kindle]

you defeat the purpose of async

[slender wagon]

Is there a way to obfuscate c# like just a small part of code

[earnest phoenix]

https://www.gapotchenko.com/eazfuscator.net

[slender wagon]

That takes an entire .dll

I only want a small part

[earnest phoenix]

You can just input the part of the code you want to obfuscate and it'll do so

[slender wagon]

How would i input it if it only works with drag and drop

[earnest phoenix]

I mean like input your code into a C# file and pass it to the program

It works with individual files

[slender wagon]

Oh right

Ty

[wheat mesa]

why do you want to do that anyways

[slender wagon]

Moding something

[wheat mesa]

I don't see how obfuscation is relevant to that

[slender wagon]

Its complicated

But i promise its not for bad

[wheat mesa]

if you're trying to secure something, obfuscation doesn't secure anything

[slender wagon]

Ik

It will make it harder

So im ok with it

[wheat mesa]

...ok

[compact pier]

what is obfuscation btw?

[spark flint]

Obfuscation means to make something difficult to understand. Programming code is often obfuscated to protect intellectual property or trade secrets, and to prevent an attacker from reverse engineering a proprietary software program. - some site on google

[sudden geyser]

basically, to keep your code private even when people "have" it

[wheat mesa]

Hint hint: it doesn’t actually stop any prying eyes. Just discourages lazy people who don’t really care to try to deobfuscate it

[sharp saddle]

SyntaxError: Named export 'cancelSync' not found.```

got this when using Chakra-ui

[sudden geyser]

did you try searching the error on google?

[sharp saddle]

yes

tried all methods but nothing helps

[earnest phoenix]

What are you using ChakraUI with? NextJS? React?

[sharp saddle]

Nextjs

I just installed

[earnest phoenix]

And your code is?

[sharp saddle]

there's no code, it's just the start page example

[earnest phoenix]

Read the getting started page a bit more carefully, you're most likely doing something wrong

It mentions a few things you need to do first

[sharp saddle]

well

This never happened

i can try to send all the error

[earnest phoenix]

https://chakra-ui.com/getting-started/nextjs-guide pay attention to the first few parts

And also tell us the steps you've actually followed

[sharp saddle]

the error (again sending)

SyntaxError: Named export 'cancelSync' not found. The requested module 'framesync' is a CommonJS module, which may not support all module.exports as named exports.
CommonJS modules can always be imported via the default export, for example using:

import pkg from 'framesync';
const { cancelSync, getFrameData } = pkg;```

[sharp saddle]

I just read

[earnest phoenix]

And the code you're using is just the provider setup?

[sharp saddle]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

Apparently the framesync library Chakra UI uses got a breaking change which no longer works with NextJS

https://github.com/chakra-ui/chakra-ui/issues/7167

[late pine]

Security via obscurity is the worst

[vestal finch]

anyone here to answer a noob question ?

does discord Interactions need message content intent to work ? , i do store USER ID from one of my commands

does the input the user put for the command considered a message content?

[sudden geyser]

You don't need the intent to get input from commands

The intent is for listening for messages sent in a server

So if someone runs /msg text:hi you can get hi from it without the intent

[vestal finch]

Great .

Thank you so much .

[craggy pine]

Probably more of a #general question but it is sorta related to development since I'm asking how I should code something I guess.
https://scs.twilightgamez.net/gr9ct.png
If you were a user of a music bot, and you had these buttons (Probably at some point it will be proper buttons) how should users be able to interact with them?
Should only the song queue-er, admins, djs, server owners be allowed to use them (Besides stop since that closes the whole queue) or should I even restrict the other buttons to be owner, admin, and djs and even not let the queue-er have control?

I do currently have it set up that if the DJ role is set in the database then restrict all buttons besides ⭐ to owners, admins, and djs but I feel like haven't it not set could lead to people trolling if letting all users have free reign over the buttons otherwise. Thoughts?

[wheat mesa]

just restrict it to the person who queued the song and people with admin perms is what I'd do

also have a DJ only mode

[craggy pine]

I do have a DJ only mode

if(needsDJ && !getUser.permissions.has("Administrator") && !role) return

but it does seem the queue-er is the safer way

[lyric mountain]

A cool feature would be something like a "skip vote" button

[craggy pine]

I've considered it.

Most of this code is me going from prefix'd to slash

So I'm working out my already coded stuff then adding new

[lyric mountain]

Ah ic

Btw, doesn't perms have constants?

[craggy pine]

It does

you mean like instead of typing 'Administrator'

use a number

[lyric mountain]

Like, the actual constant, smth like Permission.ADMINISTRATOR

Idk how it is for djs

[craggy pine]

oh no

I can .has()

it works

[lyric mountain]

But since it changes so much, it'd be worth to use some hardcoded constant like this

Ah, btw

Might be better to check for manage_channels perm instead of admin

Since admin is usually reserved to owner role in big servers

So it'd require an owner intervention to stop some troll

[craggy pine]

yeah that makes sense.

I'm sure there's a lot I'm doing probably in a bad way with my code. I'd like at some point have someone kinda gloss over it and potentially optimize it since It's not a lot. Maybe sometime in the future.

[lyric mountain]

That's the right way of doing things

[craggy pine]

ye

[lyric mountain]

Tho in my case it kinda forced me to rewrite my entire game framework

[craggy pine]

oof

[lyric mountain]

But that's cuz i allowed too much technical debt

At least mow it's much more optimized and stable, the boring part is just migrating all cards to the new interface

[craggy pine]

one by one

[lyric mountain]

Well, gonna sleep now, cya miyu

[craggy pine]

[tidal pendant]

do anyone have any idea what to fill in user_agent in praw reddit

[lament rock]

just base your user agents off of other browser's user agents

[dusky idol]

Can someone tell me how I may disallow / commands of every bot from a text channel & allow them to use / commands of my bot in the same text channel?

[lament rock]

There are integration settings in the server settings

[tidal pendant]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=".")

# enable all intents
intents = discord.Intents.all()
bot.intents = intents

Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 44, in <module> bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=".") TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'intents'

[deft wolf]

I don't think you can assign all intents anymore

[tidal pendant]

😦

so what ca n i do

[deft wolf]

Assign them separately

[tidal pendant]

ok

how

for example

[deft wolf]

I don't know, I don't write in python

I can give you an example in js but it won't be of much use to you

[tight axle]

meaby

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)```

something like that

[deft wolf]

Very likely

[tidal pendant]

nope

[tight axle]

Try find latest docs of plugin what you use and should be described

[compact pier]

so it is looks like the minimized version of some js library

[severe hull]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = ".",  intents = discord.Intents.all())

Or you can try in this way too

intents = discord.Intents.all()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = ".",  intents = intents )

[sudden geyser]

honestly if you want obfuscation just run your program through something like google closure

[lyric mountain]

Obfuscation is, honestly, stupid

Trying to hide your website source code is a sisyphean job, no matter how much u try u cannot fool the browser

And for any other project, just compile it down to a binary, assembly is obfuscated enough as-is

[compact pier]

or just use golang (and some other language, that compile code to machine code)

01010101110101

[craggy pine]

https://scs.twilightgamez.net/g/uRLi0.gif 😉

Internet was shit so it takes like 30 seconds for my 2nd part to show

[lament rock]

When I first decided to oss my bot, I thought about obfuscation, but decided it was too much of a hassle. The idea behind it was that since I was and still am a very small developer not utilizing get rich quicker techniques, people would be able to easily steal some of my bot's code and use it to grow quite well.

I think my bot's organization has quite a lot of good stuff that can just be utilized for a better ux

some of it is standalone though and is totally meant to be used by others

but for the first like 1k guilds, closed source

[lyric mountain]

if you're going the oss route then obfuscation becomes a paradox, kinda

if you're really concerned about "innovative" or highly complex code that could be stolen simply use a license that disallows using it

if anyone uses it to get rich, you can legally sue them

[lament rock]

thats what I did

[sudden geyser]

wdym fool the browser

I agree, obfuscation, most of the time, is unnecessary, but don't get what the browser has to do with it

[lyric mountain]

the browser needs to be able to render whatever the site is supposed to be

no matter what you do, the browser will always show the true, decoded content

meaning you also have access to 100% of said content

for example, let's say you want to protect your site's source code by putting it inside an iframe and requiring the browser to download fragments of the site from many different off-site sources

at the end of the day, whoever is seeing the site also gets access to everything the browser used to render it

[sudden geyser]

obfuscation's purpose is to hide the meaning behind a program; not to hide its actions

if you have a bunch of munged names, you can try to reverse it, but it'll be very difficult to do so

[lyric mountain]

not really, browsers auto-beautify the source-code when u open developer tools

[sudden geyser]

yeah but that still won't reveal the actual meaning

[lyric mountain]

all u need to do after that is refactor variable names (editors will change all references to that variable across the entire project)

[lyric mountain]

for example?

[sudden geyser]

have you seen what a munged js file looks like?

[lyric mountain]

define "munged"

[sudden geyser]

as in manipulated, such as renaming, collapsing, rewriting, etc.

most of the time you need a source map to get the proper look

[lyric mountain]

nothing an auto-format + refactor doesn't solve

no matter how hard you try, the code is still 1:1 to the original source

[sudden geyser]

please open any munged js file in inspect and show me if you can reason about it

[lyric mountain]

give me an example

[sudden geyser]

https://www.youtube.com/s/player/21149d65/player_ias.vflset/en_US/base.js

[compact pier]

maybe use Buttons, it looks better :)

[lyric mountain]

ah yes, give the worst possible example so it reinforces your point

[sudden geyser]

open any js file and it looks like that on the web

[compact pier]

damm this look like shit

but it still has that \n thingy

[sudden geyser]

don't know where you guys have been

[compact pier]

it is not 1 line

[sudden geyser]

and that's not even the worse

[lyric mountain]

so give me that "any" js file

I'm not a pro in js, don't expect me to decode an enterprise-grade source code

[sudden geyser]

okay how about this https://calva.io/assets/javascripts/bundle.af94fead.min.js

or even this, which I made yesterday https://kyleerhabor.com/assets/main/js/compiled/main.js

[compact pier]

I think webpack can do the same thing

[sudden geyser]

probably

[compact pier]

like this from my website

https://www.thinh.tech/framer.bundle.js

[earnest phoenix]

https://jsfiddle.net/js/Groups.js?67dd239ea46c4fe66f782c02980889cc54362b0d

[sudden geyser]

boring

that's unmunged

[compact pier]

lmao

can you imagine they don't split js and css

just combine it in html

and then minimize it

[earnest phoenix]

open any js file

So did I

[sudden geyser]

that's cheating

[earnest phoenix]

That's opening any js file

Not sure how that's cheating

[compact pier]

lemme experiment this

still loading

[sudden geyser]

general point was that js files when distributed are usually munged in some way

[lyric mountain]

what it'd take to find the code I'm looking for

which, atm, is no code at all

but really, browsers have built-in debuggers now, I just need to put a breakpoint and see where it takes me

after that it's just renaming variables and inlining functions

[compact pier]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/webpack-unpack
someone is actually trying to unpack code

[lyric mountain]

I don't need to see the original source code, I just need to find what I'm looking for (for example, a call to a private api)

that's how people usually crack into unsecured apis

[compact pier]

yeah, some people just go to source code and search for key key word

that is first thing u do, when u wanna explore a website

[lyric mountain]

if all else fails, "Network" tab

[compact pier]

but I think they all hide API calls with their backend server

like the backend server being a middleman for the api and client

[lyric mountain]

u can see who the middleman is and replicate the call

[compact pier]

well then u are using your own credentials (your own account)

it is not exploit anymore :<

[lyric mountain]

that's where "secured" comes in

[compact pier]

yeah

[craggy pine]

Its in the to-do list.

[slender wagon]

I am trying to make a automatic extractor, are u guys aware of any program that finds if a certain path exists and then extract files

like a setup

[lament rock]

just recursively look through an input directory and search for a specific string then pipe through something like gzip/gunzip

[lost herald]

what modal type is this, with the whole being able to select multiple things at once

[earnest phoenix]

Select Menu

You can set min_values and max_values

If you set them correctly, you can allow users to select multiple options at once

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/message-components#select-menu-object-select-menu-structure

[lost herald]

im guessing max 5 options like everything else

[earnest phoenix]

Max 5 will let users select up to 5 options

[lost herald]

but like how many options can i put in

[earnest phoenix]

Min 2 and max 5 will force users to select 2, but they can select up to 5

[lost herald]

i don't see that in my library docs (the limit)

[earnest phoenix]

That's written in the documentation as well

[lost herald]

ok imma double check

[earnest phoenix]

Minimum number of items that must be chosen (defaults to 1); min 0, max 25

Maximum number of items that can be chosen (defaults to 1); max 25

[lost herald]

ah 25 thats perfect

thank you for your help, this will serve as a fancy upgrade for my selecting programming languages role system

[earnest phoenix]

nicee

[limber siren]

how do I stop my discord bot from being rate limited?

[deft wolf]

Just dont send too many requests to api

[sudden geyser]

You keep creating commands for some reason

You shouldn't hit the limit, so your code is likely doing something dubious

[solemn latch]

you should really only be creating commands manually(with a script), not all the time.

[limber siren]

Well I don't think its because of the commands its because of my level and global chat I think because looking every time someone sends a message

[deft wolf]

Do you want to write that every time someone writes a message, you create a command in the bot?

[limber siren]

Is there any way I could make cool down on the event if it's about to get rate limited

[deft wolf]

Because your bot got ratelimit on commands

[limber siren]

well that's imposable I haven't used a command because I was creating a levelling system

[deft wolf]

Okay, how many times have you reset your bot today?

[limber siren]

loads

[deft wolf]

Assuming that the bot creates commands on each reset

[limber siren]

like restarting

[deft wolf]

Yea

[limber siren]

ok so when I give the customer the bot this will not happen

that's fine than thank you for helping me 🙂

[deft wolf]

Should not. Just be careful how many times you reset your bot in the future, or disable command update and enable it only when you are 100% sure it will work

[limber siren]

ok thankyou for helping me

[deft wolf]

You're welcome

And as for the rate limit on globalchat, you would have to look for similar bots on the internet and see how they did it

Personally, I can't imagine what it would look like if dozens of people suddenly started writing in a global chat

[civic scroll]

[limber siren]

yeah well, I will see I don't think that many people will be using the bot so I think I should be good.

[deft wolf]

If the bot will only be on a few servers, it should be able to handle it as you have written it

I thought it might be a bot for more servers

[fallen holly]

I'm trying to make a command that will keep track of a teams point and also have a leaderboard. How can i do that with quick.db

[craggy pine]

Can't remember but does discord not like when a join-log of a bot joining a server is viewable to the public? Only if the log shows the name and the usercount? Is that a breach of privacy even for the little it shows?

[quartz kindle]

thats like saying "im trying to build a shelf, how can i do that with a hammer and some wood?"

should be very straight forward, anytime points change, save it to the db

and for a leaderboard list the top points from the db

[fallen holly]

ik that but how would i structure the code to where it saves the points to the correct team

[quartz kindle]

i dont know your code so no idea

what do the teams do? when do they have their points changed?

[craggy pine]

do you happen to know this answer Tim? Googling I'm not finding much.

[quartz kindle]

never heard of anything like that

what do you mean by log join bot?

[craggy pine]

Nono

Sorry so like

https://scs.twilightgamez.net/1pPXB.png

but in a public channel

does discord consider this a "Breach of privacy" and would it deem it not ok to do

[quartz kindle]

well it depends on the server rules

it could be seen as unwanted exposure by an incoming member

but you can add info about it in the server rules

[craggy pine]

Then with that answer alone it will be private. 😛

[quartz kindle]

stating that by accepting the server rules they agree to have their joining known by other guild members

[craggy pine]

Hm.

Kinda like a TOS agreement.

[quartz kindle]

yeah

[craggy pine]

Sure why not.

But in the case they don't accept obviously it would still "Log" them

so it's kinda wrong no?

[fallen holly]

have not started i have no idea how to thats why im asking

[craggy pine]

so I've never used quickDB because I personally use mariadb but I do also have a similar currency system in my bot.

If a user gets money, I grab the current value, add the amount given to it, and update it via database queries.
With leaderboards, I grab all users who are stored in the DB from the guild and simply sort it by highest to lowest.

Since you haven't started, assuming you've never used quickDB, I'd try to follow tutorials and kinda play around with it. I think telling you exactly how to create a DB and use it / query stuff could fall under spoonfeeding

[fallen holly]

u mean by using mongoDB

[craggy pine]

I mean, no I use mariadb. I thought your questions were inregards to quickdb.

[fallen holly]

it is just making sure cus u said just DB not quick.db

[craggy pine]

I didn't remember if it was quick.db or quickDB so I wrote it wrong. My bad 😛

[fallen holly]

u good

[fallen holly]

how do i mention multiple people in command

[visual knoll]

huh? <@id>

[fallen holly]

I got it to work

[deft wolf]

You can search github for open source bot projects that use your database and see how they did it

Then adjust it to your bot so that it does what you want

[lament rock]

I've been working on a thing people can make plugins for, but every time the thing updates, you have to reinstall the plugins and their dependencies manually since they get overwritten by new package versions for new deps and version numbers and such. This was annoying so I made a cli to install plugins and their deps and then load them during runtime and after a clean install/upgrade, if you have the manifest, you can reinstall all of the plugins. Might break if you try to install plugins that are already installed, but eh

I have no idea what this code means

PY is black magic to me

[tidal pendant]

[feral aspen]

Is this a coding mistake or is there actually something as ;(() =>?

[earnest phoenix]

js moment

[earnest phoenix]

?

This is valid in almost every programming language that supports semicolons, because they're there to terminate expressions, which empty expressions are also completely valid

[earnest phoenix]

avatar not avatar_url, reference:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Member.avatar

[late pine]

(() => {}) does actually exist

[earnest phoenix]

:trollface:

[rare granite]

can i get suggestions for hosting services, i want to host a bot with only command for a single server so im not considering vps ( paid is fine too )

[earnest phoenix]

still a js moment

[earnest phoenix]

anyways, this defines an anonymous function, basically a function without a name

(() => {
    console.log("Hello from anonymous function")
})();

[deft wolf]

I would write Heroku, but unfortunately it is not as free as it was until November

The second idea is repl.it but I've never used it although I've seen some people host projects there on github

The third idea and probably the best is to find something cheap in your country, such as vps with 512mb of ram, which should be enough for such a bot for one server

At the beginning, when I was programming the bot, I bought a 1gb of ram vps for ~$6 per month

Now I managed to find a 4gb ram vps for ~$8 but the new one has 2 cpu cores instead of 4

[earnest phoenix]

everything is a js moment

Ok

[sharp geyser]

but why

[earnest phoenix]

?

[sharp geyser]

idk im so tired

I replied to the wrong one

[sharp geyser]

why are empty expressions valid

What does it actually do with those empty expressions? Skip over them?

[earnest phoenix]

Empty expressions are common semantic grammar, since semicolons are just terminators they shouldn't be invalidated on empty expressions, and thus skipped over, what do you think is going on in a classic for loop statement? It has 3 clauses, expr; expr; expr, and expressions can be empty, so clauses like let i = 0; ; i++ are allowed

[quartz kindle]

for(;;) is often used as a shorter while(true)

[earnest phoenix]

message.member.user.displayAvatarURL({
        format: "png"
      })

still it is coming in webp

is v14 change this?

[deft wolf]

Why message.member.user tho

Just use message.member

Your code doesn't even work for me

Ah, nvm

Typo

On v13 it works normally so I doubt they will change it in v14

[craggy pine]

I can test it on v14 since my bot is on it. Sec.

https://scs.twilightgamez.net/QurHL.png

[deft wolf]

This is the only change I found

[surreal sage]

for (const x of {"a": "b"}), x would be "b" yes?

(Makin sure)

Nvm

[dry imp]

no

[deft wolf]

I haven't used it either so I didn't even know it existed

[dry imp]

oracle is a scam

ig you can fk around with it, but not a good idea to use it in prod

they can just suspend ur service for no reason

[deft wolf]

I never believe in "free hosting". Like everyone has to get something out of it, no matter how big the company is

[dry imp]

good mindset

just like the jokers quote:
"if you are good at something, never do it for free"
so if it is free then its gonna be shit

can anyone help me with that ^

[deft wolf]

But with what exactly?

[limber siren]

I have no clue I cant find it but it says

so I am thinking I have missed out one of these "}"

but I hve looked and I cant find one

[deft wolf]

Yea, u missed one for module.exports

Try to add } at the end of code

[limber siren]

no that dident work

never mind it did

[deft wolf]

I'm glad it worked

[limber siren]

sorry one more thing how do you time a ban because this dosent work

[deft wolf]

Depends on what version of discord.js you're using

[limber siren]

"discord.js": "^13.9.1",

[deft wolf]

The value of "days" takes a number, not a string

Most likely that's why it doesn't want to work

[limber siren]

no but thats number of days to deleate a message

I am talking about like days to bad

[deft wolf]

U can do this on discord.js without database i guess

[limber siren]

oh how do I do it

[deft wolf]

Most likely you would have to save the banned user's id in the database and the time they were banned for and after that time you would have to unban them. How you do it is up to you because there are dozens of databases that you can use as well as methods to count the time that has elapsed since a user was banned

[limber siren]

I already have a database but I wouldn't know how to count it and unban them

[deft wolf]

For unban I would probably use guild.bans.remove() because there you unban the user based on his id

Same as with guild.bans.create() you can ban users by their id without needing them to be on your server (I think it might come in handy sometimes)

As for how you can unban a user after some time, without a database you can do something like this. I found this on stackoverflow and I have no idea if it works so let it be more of an "idea" than a working code that you paste into the command and it will work

[spark flint]

i'd also use message.author

that returns the user object

[wheat mesa]

this... is a bad idea

if your bot restarts in between that time, that will never run

and the member will stay banned forever

you need a database to do this reliably

[deft wolf]

Thats true

[rustic nova]

would suggest keeping a unban-timestamp along that database entry

then having a reliable task that goes through that database and unbans the expired ones

[lyric mountain]

never use var

always let

[warm surge]

Wild

what version is your discord.js

[minor olive]

Does youtube have a safe-search feature?

Or is it just age-restriction

[sudden geyser]

If for the API, yes: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list#safeSearch

[minor olive]

Great. Thank you. Would you know how to do that with the python YDL library?

[sudden geyser]

unfortunately no

[minor olive]

Okay. Thank you anyway. I'll have a look through the source code. I can't find anything in the documentation.

[sudden geyser]

Though I don't think youtube-dl (likely what ydl is based on) has any concept of safe searching

[wheat mesa]

If the video is marked as age restricted, ytdl is not able to do anything with it afaik

since it requires a logged in account to access age restricted videos

[slender wagon]

export default function Home() {
  type ModalList = "modal1" | "modal2" | false;
  const [activeModal, setActiveModal] = useState<ModalList>(false);
  const ref = useRef(null);

  useClickAway(ref, () => {
    setActiveModal(!open);
  });

hello so i am working on some modals
the issue stands with ref since i can't figure out a way to use a different ref for all the different modals

the modal shows the same content all the time now

doesn't matter if it is modal1 or modal2

<div className={styles.card}>
            <div className={styles.box}>
              <div className={styles.content}>
                <h2>01</h2>
                <h3>leofile_0001</h3>
                <>
                  <a onClick={(e) => setActiveModal("modal1")}>Demo Video</a>
                  <br />
                </>
                <a href="#">Download</a>
              </div>
            </div>
            {activeModal && (
              <div className={styles.modal_container}>
                <div ref={ref} className={styles.modal}>
                  <iframe
                    width="800"
                    height="400"
                    frameBorder="0"
                    allowFullScreen
                    src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ccW_OYApEE"
                  ></iframe>
                </div>
              </div>
            )}{" "}
          </div>

code of the modal

[minor olive]

Yes, but my bot still got denied because one video was not marked as age-restricted but was technically NSFW.

[wheat mesa]

denied by discord or by top.gg?

keep in mind no filter is 100% accurate

[wheat mesa]

do I need a webserver to get OAuth2 tokens from user authentication?

(never done oauth before)

[rustic nova]

yes

since succeeded oauth authorizations redirect per standard back to a website that collects the access token

but tbf that can be done with 000webhost or something that could just send the access tokens to your bot (or even cloudflare workers)

[wheat mesa]

👍

I'm just going to use express for now for the sake of simplicity

I'll convert to something more efficient after I'm done with a local proof of concept

[minor olive]

top.gg

And I contacted the person who denied it, and they didn't say anything about this being a mistake.

[wheat mesa]

That's odd, my bot didn't get denied for having a similar feature

Different review rules I suppose lol

[fallen holly]

how do i send this in embed

[rustic nova]

depending on what way you wanna show it:

embed description, just loop through the json array and append to a string
embed fields, just loop through the json array and add to the embed fields

[fallen holly]

im able to get the id but the value is returning object object

[earnest phoenix]

Do you want to just show for example { score: 3 } in the field value or description?

[fallen holly]

tryna to put the id and value e in embed description

for example

BatMan - 3
Becky - 3
Carl-Bot - 3
etc...

[earnest phoenix]

Then obj.value.score for the value

[fallen holly]

ok do i push it to the list?? for just do it all in the for loop

[wheat mesa]

should I even bother doing "proper" encapsulation in ts anymore

starting to fuck with me

lmao this is pretty bad

[earnest phoenix]

You can use the https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/map method to map the elements to whatever you want, and then join them using the https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/join method

[wheat mesa]

this is kind of a dumb question but I can't remember how I did it last time. Let's say I have a response that looks like so: json { "data": "some string", "something_else": 15 } But I want my ts interface to look like this: ```ts
interface ResponseData {
data: string;
somethingElse: number;
}

[earnest phoenix]

You can't, the property names must match

[wheat mesa]

agh

Nothing like C# where you can make an annotation on the property and have whatever name you want?

interface Data {
  [JsonProperty("property_name")]
  public string Name { get; set; }
}

something similar to that?

[earnest phoenix]

Unfortunately TypeScript doesn't have such thing

[wheat mesa]

Damn

Was worth a shot ig

Seems like a relatively common thing to want

time to pull request nodejs for this

[earnest phoenix]

Well the thing is, there is a way to do this but it's not great, because this is not really common

[wheat mesa]

Really not common?

Modeling responses whilst maintaining naming conventions seems like it would be pretty common to me

[earnest phoenix]

In most codebases we just use the names we're given, and our style policies don't apply to them

Here is a way you can achieve what you want in TypeScript:

function JsonProperty(name: string) {
  return function DoJsonProperty(_: any, _1: string, descriptor: PropertyDescriptor) {
    descriptor.get = function () {
      return this[name];
    };
    descriptor.set = function (value) {
      this[name] = value;
    };
  }
}

class Foo {
  @JsonProperty("foo_bar")
  get fooBar(): number { return 1; }
}

[wheat mesa]

Ouch

[earnest phoenix]

Or you could check out
https://cloudmark.github.io/Json-Mapping/

[wheat mesa]

I'll just suffer

[fallen holly]

i got it to like this

[earnest phoenix]

Bro just map it to a string and join them

[fallen holly]

ok

[earnest phoenix]

foo
  .map((bar) => `${bar.id} - ${bar.value.score}`)
  .join('\n');

[earnest phoenix]

anyone know a good javascript api for vpn detection?

[rustic nova]

I must admit though from personal opinion, you shouldn't restrict users using vpns entirely

you could challenge them through a captcha if they're about to do actions that are crutial

same goes for blacklisting ips tbf, since IPs are often reassigned on ISPs, best is to have the blacklist expire at some point

it will worsen the user experience, but better than restricting users using VPNs entirely

[wheat mesa]

I would not recommend helping this guy, he's making malicious programs for stealing user data

[rustic nova]

sus

amongus

[lyric mountain]

Is that the guy that was making a "virus" because "lul I'm cool kidz"?

[wheat mesa]

Yeah

Look at his user profile and click on the bottom link

that's what he's making

[lyric mountain]

Yep, it's him

[lyric mountain]

Those domain names scream "sketchy" lul

[wheat mesa]

Yeah

At some point I used to think this dude was doing some good by taking an interest in programming so early in life

But now I have lost any tiny ounce of respect I had

[spark flint]

True

He has a bookmark info stealer

Should I do a funny and get the domain deleted

[wheat mesa]

should be banned from any programming related server possible in my honest opinion. I do not like people who ask others for help with their illegal and unethical programs

Not to mention he clearly disguises the questions so you don't think about what he's doing

[earnest phoenix]

"It's for educational purposes only"

[wheat mesa]

Yeah he can't even pull that bs because he's directly advertising it for its malicious uses

[earnest phoenix]

💀💀💀

[wheat mesa]

Steal

[earnest phoenix]

hows that even possible

a vuln in chromium or what

Not really no

You can read cookies etc. freely in the system's files and folders

yeah

Passwords as well

Nothing really new, pretty script kiddie though

[earnest phoenix]

so this is just a malware and not a script

i see

[sharp geyser]

Bro is using it for malicious intents instead of figuring out how to prevent it

😔

[deft wolf]

You'll make more money hurting people

[compact pier]

how can I add those commands?

[deft wolf]

U need a command id

[compact pier]

and how can I format it?

like mention is <@ID>

[deft wolf]

Like this

[compact pier]

how can I get the command ids?

[deft wolf]

You should be able to do something like this

Right-click on the command description

Yea, its working

[compact pier]

what if it is a sub command?

[deft wolf]

Then I have no idea

I don't have any sub commands so I can't even check it

[compact pier]

I tried and it doesn't work

I want to get the group command, like the group command of sub command id

but it don't allow me

[deft wolf]

You mean something like this?

[compact pier]

yeah, but I figured it out

but still sad, that I can't get the whole command

like not /pingcord help

but only /pingcord

[crystal wigeon]

Is there invite link to this server ?

[deft wolf]

Yes, on the page

Here you have "discord"

I don't want to send the link itself because I have no idea how the automod for server links works here

But you can find link there

[neon leaf]

discord.gg/dbl

[rigid maple]

I want to convert audio to text and for that I use prism-media but I don't understand this error

[deft wolf]

This is most likely a problem with the package itself

I would advise you to look for something on their repository or somewhere closer to the package itself

https://github.com/amishshah/prism-media/issues/104

[spark flint]

Don’t check the domain

Also yeah i agree

[earnest phoenix]

i don't want to agree or disagree, but i'm not bringing up tos related stuff here

[earnest phoenix]

that was for a different project

[earnest phoenix]

buying a new one soon i cba about doing it now

[deft wolf]

Okay

Cool

[spark flint]

Still illegal but ok

[craggy pine]

Handy. Thank you for the information and to me for scrolling up to see this. 🙂

[deft wolf]

Thank Tim

[earnest phoenix]

holy fuck

actual bytecode assembler for python

afaik this hasn't been done before

[lyric mountain]

Asm not bytecode

Bytecode is for jvm

[earnest phoenix]

bytecode isn't a term specific to the jvm, its generally just a sequence of bytes that represent some logic

[whole knot]

https://discord.gift/RJp83wHGTPdNCN5x - First one to claim gets it!

[earnest phoenix]

you just gave a random kid with a sniper nitro

good job

[whole knot]

Means I made someone happy

[earnest phoenix]

im gonna be honest

[lyric mountain]

https://m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bytecode

[earnest phoenix]

the dude who got it is probably sleeping rn

[lyric mountain]

And wtf is that link

Aight, removed the mess from it

[lyric mountain]

Ah by assembler u mean as in builder, not the machine language

But then what's the use of it? Like, can't u already write directly?

[deft wolf]

Thanks. Even though none of us probably got it, intentions matter and it should be appreciated that you sent this gift here and not on #general

[whole knot]

Did not think about Nitro snipers, my bad

[lyric mountain]

This server is infested with them

The second u send a gift they instantly grab it

[whole knot]

Yeah, send one in a different server as well and it got sniped, I guess

[earnest phoenix]

if you wanna be a weakling, sure

real chads write python bytecode directly 🦾

anyways: functions

[lyric mountain]

That's what I meant

[earnest phoenix]

should've worded that a bit better, i dont think there's another way to easily do this

sure, you can python3 -m compileall, but that's boring

[lyric mountain]

U can write pyc files manually can't u?

[earnest phoenix]

you can, if you enjoy pain

this makes it a lot easier

[earnest phoenix]

would you rather write ```py
b'\xe3\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x1e\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xf3"\x00\x00\x00\x97\x00d\x00\x84\x00Z\x00\x02\x00e\x00d\x01\xa6\x01\x00\x00\xab\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00d\x00S\x00)\x02\xe3\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x1e\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xf3\x1a\x00\x00\x00\x97\x00\x02\x00e\x00|\x00\xa6\x01\x00\x00\xab\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00d\x00S\x00)\x01N)\x01\xda\x05print)\x01\xda\x06an_args\x01\x00\x00\x00 \xfa\x05<asm>\xda\x00r\x07\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xf3\x00\x00\x00\x00r\x08\x00\x00\x00\xe9{\x00\x00\x00)\x01\xda\x03fnc\xa9\x00r\x08\x00\x00\x00r\x06\x00\x00\x00r\x07\x00\x00\x00r\x07\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00r\x08\x00\x00\x00r\x08\x00\x00\x00'

because that is the actual content of the equivalent .pyc file

[lyric mountain]

Pyc is a big string?

[earnest phoenix]

pyc is binary

[lyric mountain]

Then u can use hex editor to write it

[earnest phoenix]

_ _

you can do everything manually, you can write java .class files with a hex editor

why not write an entire elf binary manually with a hex editor

[lyric mountain]

Java class isn't raw binary tho

[earnest phoenix]

?

[lyric mountain]

Like, it has an actual language behind it

Not java, I mean the bytecode-level language

Idk how to explain, but it's the equivalent of asm

Except much more readable

[earnest phoenix]

this is what a .class looks like under the radar

similarly: pyc

both are bit jargon

have fun

[lyric mountain]

Hm, nvm then

[earnest phoenix]

are you familiar with the asm library for java

this is like the asm for python

same exact purpose for different backend “languages”

[lyric mountain]

Asm library for java?

Java doesn't compile to asm

[earnest phoenix]

what

[lyric mountain]

The asm-equivalent for jvm is kinda java-like, but much more...raw ig

[lyric mountain]

Jvm runs its own language, not asm

[earnest phoenix]

asm is a library to modify said language

do you know what i am talking about

[lyric mountain]

Asm is a language

Assembly

[earnest phoenix]

there is a library

called asm

for modifying java’s bytecode

[earnest phoenix]

this is the python equivalent of said library

[modern solstice]

setInterval( async () => {
      message.channel.sendTyping()
      await d(1000)
      message.channel.send(`hello world`).then(() => {
        console.log(`message sent`)
      })
    }, 45 * 1000)

What's the use of 45 * 1000

In the end

[deft wolf]

Its like 45 seconds i guess

Because the time is in milliseconds

You have to multiply this time times 1000 to get seconds and 45 is the number of seconds

E.g

60 * 60 * 1000

Then you have one minute

[lyric mountain]

It's basically for readability

It'll be computed to a constant anyway, so it doesn't matter performance-wise

[lyric mountain]

Btw whatever ur doing, don't copy code from the internet

That snippet will spam a channel with messages every 46 seconds

[modern solstice]

Oooo thnx

But I was just asking for general knowledge

[lyric mountain]

That's fine, just be careful

[earnest phoenix]

small correction: 60 * 1000 for 60 seconds aka one minute

what you have there is one hour

[deft wolf]

Ah right, my mistake

[wheat mesa]

And yet you continue to ask for help on your TOS breaking projects.

[lyric mountain]

I don't think that was as mild as a tos-breaking project

More like law breaking

[wheat mesa]

Yeah

[lyric mountain]

Specifically lgpd

[wheat mesa]

Pretty sure that’s close to a felony charge if they were to be prosecuted for it

[spark flint]

lmao

[earnest phoenix]

you don't know if it goes with that project + it's none of your business. i'm dropping the conversation since i don't want to be banned

[deft wolf]

Thank God

[earnest phoenix]

the other project about the forced bsod was for a game i was making btw

I saw your reply to it when I was eating

[neon leaf]

that doesnt change its legality

[earnest phoenix]

i know, i didn't know it was considered illegal

[wheat mesa]

I do not care if it goes to it or not. You are still making it and slapping your name all over it, and those who make programs like that and distribute them definitely deserve punishment

[spark flint]

lmao can't wait for someone to sue for data loss

[lyric mountain]

Generally anything that touches outside of program's own data requires strict user authorization

[earnest phoenix]

Ah alr

[lyric mountain]

And...I don't think that if u told ur player that the game might crash their entire pc they'd accept it

[earnest phoenix]

true

[wheat mesa]

That’s like robbing a store and then being like “oh I didn’t know that it was illegal”

[spark flint]

lmao

[wheat mesa]

Not gonna hold up in a criminal case

[lyric mountain]

If u want to guarantee file integrity just use a hash check

As I said before

That's what big studios do

[spark flint]

dw i didnt realise bookmark stealers that steal google tokens was illegal, my bad

[lyric mountain]

Well, they also use drm, but anyway

[wheat mesa]

Not to mention it’s very obviously unethical, not even considering legality

[hard wraith]

Having some real issues with this code.

Keep getting this response.

[wheat mesa]

@boreal iron php

[hard wraith]

its something with the embed, because I can get it to send plain text messages.

They seems to be offline bro

[lyric mountain]

Fake will love this

[wheat mesa]

Yeah

I can’t help with php but that guy definitely can

[hard wraith]

It was working, it is something with the damn embed.

[lyric mountain]

What does the error say?

[neon leaf]

.

[lyric mountain]

Ah, i have images disabled cuz mobile data

Didn't see it

Ok, that's an ugly error message

Invalid form body, I suppose u missed something like a bracket or quotation

[hard wraith]

you wouldn't believe what it was...

embeds is an object containing object...

so i should have put the embed in []

[lyric mountain]

Ah, that

[hard wraith]

php is just... ugh...

[lyric mountain]

Ain't php's fault, discord allows up to 10 embeds per message

[hard wraith]

Now I have to figure out how to make it not show the "blank" character.

[lyric mountain]

U mistyped it

[hard wraith]

i did?

[lyric mountain]

Probably, I imagine php has a different way of writing char literals

Since it looks like it didn't escape with \u

Check google to see how to write char literals in php

Mobile is almost running out, so gtg

[hard wraith]

got it all working, sorry they tagged you Fake. But its working. Thanks all

[boreal iron]

back from holidays

Well the issue is you will still need to add a whitespace to the unicode chars

\u200b not \u200b

" \u200b "

I noticed when I tried to add an empty field/value, too

[boreal iron]

ping

[neon leaf]

whats the best approach for this? I want to make a very minimal coding language so users can code logic for requests but not get full control over my system, etc. I need to be able to parse it with javascript

[wheat mesa]

uh yeah that's not as easy as you think

[neon leaf]

Im aware

[wheat mesa]

you're going to need a lexer, parser, and interpreter

look up "regular expression grammar programming languages"

Basically the lexers job is to turn characters into tokens with more information, the parser then generates something called an abstract syntax tree (usually these are called recursive descent parsers or pratt parsers, they are different but produce the same result), and then the interpreter's job is to run through the AST (or some other intermediate representation, recursing down the AST is the slowest of all of these) and execute the "code"

The complexity of the project will depend on 1. How fast you need the language to be, and 2. How complex your language's syntax will be

[neon leaf]

well in the end I think the fastest way (in my case) would be to "compile" it to javascript

[wheat mesa]

That's going to be even more difficult, and anything that can be transpiled to js can access things on your computer that you don't want it to access

Compilation is a different process (especially when you're compiling to an existing language)

But the lexer and parser steps are still the same

What do you think you want your language to look like?

If you don't need it to be very complex, then it wouldn't be too difficult to make this (unless you want it to be really fast)

[neon leaf]

something similar to bdfd since its pretty easy to understand
example:

$response.send['Not Allowed']
$endif```

or it could just be in javascript and deny saving when it doesnt use defined variables

[wheat mesa]

I don't have experience with bdfd but if it's a relatively simple grammar then it shouldn't be incredibly difficult

The first steps to designing a language is to do the following

1. Define your needs and goals for it
2. Start writing a regular expressions grammar for describing the syntax

[lyric mountain]

Making languages, even simple ones is indeed a fun yet complex task

Because they tend to rabbit hole the deeper you are into it

[wheat mesa]

Yeah

Always more to do

[knotty quartz]

How can I effectively make a small database for blacklisting users?

[rustic nova]

tbf, I personally used a document-based database (NoSQL) because I cant be bothered to setup a whole mysql or mongodb database just for storing user ids

but essentially, just storing the user ids should be fine

just note that down on your privacy policy too though

[rustic nova]

also probably faster in gathering the ids, since checking blacklists might be done on every command executed

[lyric mountain]

Sql would be equally as fast

[rustic nova]

Yeah, unless you have a sql setup done already (such as with economy etc), is it worth even setting up a fully fledged database for it?

[lyric mountain]

I mean, sqlite would suffice

No setup and virtually no physical size

[rustic nova]

thats true too yeah, though am mainly referring to setting up a whole db schema for just storing ids

[lyric mountain]

To check you'd just run SELECT 'theid' FROM blacklist

Ah, sqlite doesn't have schemas

Tbh, it has almost nothing lul

Just the tables

[rustic nova]

doesnt sqlite have tables?

yeah

am referring to setting up a whole table for it

so such as a id, then the user id

unless you wanna store a blacklist timestamp along it

I do sound lazy saying that lmaoo

[lyric mountain]

That'd be CREATE TABLE blacklist (uid PRIMARY KEY TEXT)

[rustic nova]

ohhh

yeah that could easily work

[lyric mountain]

Ye, tho idk how much of a performance impact a text pk would be

But unless ur blacklisting hundreds of thousands of people it'd not matter much

To be very honest, I'd use a csv file for that if the numbers are small enough

Then make the bot load it on startup each time

[rustic nova]

eh, unless you're not adding ids during runtime

thought they were going towards the path of adding ids during runtime

but yeah if thats not the case, even a text file just having ids on each line loading on start should be good enough

[sharp geyser]

Anyone know how to setup a mail server on an ubuntu vps?

[rustic nova]

no

its pain

trust me

tried it several times

[sharp geyser]

but its needed for what I am doing

😔

[rustic nova]

to be brutally honest, you're better off using a mail service and using SMTP etc to send

I have tried it, its pain

[neon leaf]

yes

[rustic nova]

its either failing the installation altogether, emails dont send because I screwed something up during config

[rustic nova]

did you even get DKIM DMARC etc working?

[neon leaf]

yes

[rustic nova]

how the fuck

[sharp geyser]

Please teach me

[neon leaf]

by following docs 🗿

[rustic nova]

I did so too, never worked

[sharp geyser]

send me docs

[rustic nova]

glad I do programming and not system setup

[neon leaf]

what mailserver did you try to setup?

[rustic nova]

no clue anymore, forgot while looking through multiple docs in frustration

might've stumbled upon different docs for different versions

[neon leaf]

because in my case I use mailcow which literally guides me every step to get everything working, dkim and shit it does for you like 80% of the work

[neon leaf]

what are your vpsses specs?

[rustic nova]

this is the first time I'm hearing about mailcow

[neon leaf]

yeah,I think its quite new

[rustic nova]

yeah seems to also note that ufw will cause issues and to disable it entirely, allowing docker-user to anything

which is an issue for me since my whole server consists of dockers for my apps

welp

[neon leaf]

you can Ignore the not supported warnings, you are fine with kvm
https://docs.mailcow.email/prerequisite/prerequisite-system/
and follow closely, especially if you never worked with docker
and personally I always setup mailcow on a seperate vps but in your case just expose it on other ports and disable ssl

[neon leaf]

yeah, you need to start using internal networks

[rustic nova]

yeah would need a night of setup

[neon leaf]

nop, you want 1 command?

[rustic nova]

could do that at some point, literally just using cloudflare emails to just redirect

[sharp geyser]

so wait, since mailcow uses port 80 then I need to change the port my website listens on right?

[neon leaf]

no, you can change the web port of mailcow

[rustic nova]

just use proxy on nginx/apache2 if you still want something like mail.yoursite.com

[sharp geyser]

ah ok

[neon leaf]

I think that doesnt actually work, I tried it before and mails werent sending

[rustic nova]

yeah proxy wont work with non http stuff of course

am mainly referring to the dashboard

[neon leaf]

yeah, that worked

[rustic nova]

cools

noted for a later project for me

[neon leaf]

I personally use another vps for mailcow though because else setting up and refreshing ssl is a hell

[rustic nova]

Yeah will probably do that too purely for the mail

[neon leaf]

this is also a cool feature which isnt exclusive in mailcow but automatically set up

[rustic nova]

ooooo monitoring

pog

wouldn't become useful for me though unless I do have multiple users on the mail and get a considerate amount of traffic

does it have any limitations?

such as needing a license for more email accounts?

[neon leaf]

nop

its open source

[rustic nova]

cool

coolio

[sharp geyser]

@neon leaf does this look correct?

[neon leaf]

yes but you cant proxy mail, autoconfig and autodiscover except if you have cloudflare business

[rustic nova]

remove the proxy on the 2nd from the last

oh wait nvm

didnt see the a record, mistook it for the mx

[sharp geyser]

ye I don't think this worked @neon leaf

mail.horizon-rust.store leads to my page

[neon leaf]

what does your mailcow config look like?

[sharp geyser]

just in case here is my open ports and my conf

It seems like it isn't even using the IP I am trying to target it to either

its using my main ip, and not the additional IP I bought

[neon leaf]

http://mail.horizon-rust.store:8467/

[sharp geyser]

weird

So I have to supply the port I can't just mail.horizon-rust.store?

[neon leaf]

your setup requires you to include the port

[lyric mountain]

Making an email server is brutal

[sharp geyser]

I don't wanna include the port tho

😔

[neon leaf]

for mails it doesnt matter, only for the web ui

[neon leaf]

there is a new reverse proxy guide

https://docs.mailcow.email/post_installation/firststeps-rp/

try if it works for you

[sharp geyser]

my nginx config keeps failing the test

[neon leaf]

Replace "mail" in server_name with "mail.iforgor.store"

And your SSL path is probably wrong

[sharp geyser]

no it looks correct

if I am able to access /opt like that then its correct

[neon leaf]

well but mailcow doesnt have your valid ssl certs behind a proxy

you need to provide the path to your valid ones

[sharp geyser]

I don't have any myself, cloudflare handles that for me

[neon leaf]

use letsencrypt

basically move that nginx config away to somewhere so that nginx -t says ok

[sharp geyser]

I will do this later

I have work soon

[neon leaf]

then install letsencrypt (certbot) sudo apt install -y certbot python3-certbot-nginx

and execute certbot certonly --nginx -d mail.horizon-rust.store

and change ssl section to

ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.horizon-rust.store/privkey.pem;```

[sharp geyser]

Error while running nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t.

nginx: [emerg] unknown "schema" variable
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

This is what happens when I run certbot certonly --nginx -d mail.horizon-rust.store

[neon leaf]

change all occurences of $schema in the mailcow config to https

[sharp geyser]

That worked but is this anything to worry about?

IMPORTANT NOTES:
 - The following errors were reported by the server:

   Domain: mail.horizon-rust.store
   Type:   unauthorized
   Detail: 45.137.194.111: Invalid response from

   charset=\"utf-8\" />\n    <meta name=\"viewport\"
   content=\"width=device-width, in"

   To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
   entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
   contain(s) the right IP address.
 - Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot
   configuration directory at /etc/letsencrypt. You should make a
   secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will
   also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so
   making regular backups of this folder is ideal.

Also, I am trying to make horizon-rust.store bind to the additional IP I have instead of my main ip so could this be causing issues?

[neon leaf]

did you move the mail config out temorarily as said?

[sharp geyser]

I didn't notice you said to do this

I only saw the letsencrypt stuff

[neon leaf]

here

[sharp geyser]

Yea, I didn't even see that at the time

So no I didn't move it

[neon leaf]

if it still doesnt work with it removed youll have to do a dns challenge, will 100% work

[sharp geyser]

😔

Also one thing I wanna ask

[neon leaf]

certbot certonly --standalone -d *.horizon-rust.store

[sharp geyser]

no matches found?

this is all so confusing

[neon leaf]

what?

[tropic estuary]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1027287747007881256.webp?size=44

[rustic nova]

also fyi @sharp geyser

make sure your host isnt blocking 25

I discovered mine does and apparently considers my account too new

ok then

[sharp geyser]

This shit is too confusing

I have no idea how to do networking stuff

[rustic nova]

nah worked pretty well for me

[sharp geyser]

😔

[rustic nova]

just use cloudflare for your webserver

[sharp geyser]

I can't even get the nginx shit to work

nginx is failing to start

[rustic nova]

pain

[sharp geyser]

and its very fucking vague with why

its pissing me off

Failed to start A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server.

that is all it gives me

[neon leaf]

you get a less vague message with
nginx -t

[sharp geyser]

it says everything is ok

I already tried that

nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

Which is why this is so confusing

[neon leaf]

the only thing I could think of would be something blocking its port ig

[rustic nova]

check if port 25 is blocked by your host

[rustic nova]

hetzner is a cunt and does that

[sharp geyser]

25 is open

so are all the ports it wants open

[rustic nova]

check with telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25

[neon leaf]

what does systemctl status nginx give

[rustic nova]

its not the incoming one thats checked, its the outgoing one

but iirc thats on the firewall of the provider

[sharp geyser]

port 8080 already in use

wtf is using that port

sorry misread that

[rustic nova]

thats new

sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN
sudo netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN
sudo ss -tulpn | grep LISTEN
sudo lsof -i:22 ## see a specific port such as 22 ##
sudo nmap -sTU -O IP-address-Here

[neon leaf]

should be mailcow when following reverse proxy docs

[sharp geyser]

Yes

but

aren't I supposed to be doing it like this?

Following the docs this is what it told me to do

so why is it now giving me errors if I followed it exactly

[neon leaf]

what does your nginx config look like right now?

[neon leaf]

🗿

you made the same mistake that you did last time

[sharp geyser]

I now realize my mistake

[wheat mesa]

wanna vc while you suffer with your server misty

[sharp geyser]

I got work in 20m but sure

[sharp geyser]

Also I just realized, I shouldn't be binding it to 127.0.0.1 right? (mailcow conf)

I should be binding it to the ip I have my dns targeting right?

[neon leaf]

you should according to docs (127.x.x.x)

[sharp geyser]

but that only allows it to work locally no?

I can't connect to the mailserver from my local machine with it like that can i?

[neon leaf]

well it should but its infact working

im on your mailserver

[sharp geyser]

But...I can't even do it

[neon leaf]

but your certificate is invalid

[neon leaf]

you need to use https and accept warnings

[sharp geyser]

I see

[neon leaf]

try removing the default_server part from listen 80 default_server

[sharp geyser]

how to do this

[neon leaf]

sould be this

[sharp geyser]

that responds with this
Client with the currently selected authenticator does not support any combination of challenges that will satisfy the CA. You may need to use an authenticator plugin that can do challenges over DNS.

[neon leaf]

uhh, right

hold on

apt install python3-certbot-dns-standalone

[sharp geyser]

Unable to locate package python3-certbot-dns-standalone

[neon leaf]

did you forget the "e"?

[sharp geyser]

nah

I just forgot to paste the entire thign

it left the e out

I copied what you put to use

so ye it cant find it

[neon leaf]

very weird

what ubuntu version are you on?

[sharp geyser]

20.04.5

[neon leaf]

I suppose you should update to the next lts

[sharp geyser]

I don't even know if contabo will let me

[lyric mountain]

It will

Tho I'm also using that one

But they usually add the newer lts soon after they release

[sharp geyser]

Well I gotta be at work so I will try later

[tropic estuary]

ok

[rustic nova]

managed to set it up on my dockers

pog

just had issues with proxy reverse since I had my apache2 on a different container

@sharp geyser why not use cloudflare proxies?

[rustic nova]

am referring to mail.domain.com

the mailserver itself cant get proxied

mfw my ip is blacklisted on some literally 1999 site and wants 412 euros to be removed

[cobalt spruce]

Working on replit, and I got this error and it's not from my code

[wheat mesa]

Well, it is from your code

You did not give the discord client any intents for it to use

[cobalt spruce]

But I did not activate intents

And the bot isn't on over 100 server

So it's disabled

[wheat mesa]

You still need to specify intents

Being under 100 servers just means you don't need to verify your bot to get access to those intents

[cobalt spruce]

Mind sending the docs to intents?

[wheat mesa]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/general/welcome scroll down a little bit on this page and you'll see an example

[cobalt spruce]

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });

const request = require('request');




client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on('message', message => {
  // Only respond to messages that start with "!chatgpt"
  if (message.content.startsWith('!chatgpt')) {
    // Get the message text without the command prefix
    const prompt = message.content.slice('!chatgpt'.length);

    // Send a request to the ChatGPT API
    const options = {
      method: 'POST',
      url: 'https://api.openai.com/v1/chatbot',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.CHATGPT_API_KEY}`
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        'prompt': prompt,
        'model': 'chatbot'
      })
    };

    request(options, function(error, response, body) {
      if (error) throw new Error(error);

      // Send the ChatGPT response back to the channel
      const chatbotResponse = JSON.parse(body).response;
      message.channel.send(chatbotResponse);
    });
  }
});

I tried this code to call openai api but it doesn't reply to the messages I send

Error logs are empty

[wheat mesa]

Probably because you don't have message intent enabled in both your code and the discord dev portal

[cobalt spruce]

Enabled, nothing

There is no error

[wheat mesa]

Look at your code

You don't have the message intent enabled

[cobalt spruce]

What will be the correct thing?

[wheat mesa]

You need GatewayIntentBits.Messages or something like that

[cobalt spruce]

Hmm

[tropic estuary]

one from my email to my mail server that i got running using postfix

[cobalt spruce]

God damn I added

intents: [
GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,    GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
    ]```

And still nothing

Not even a err

[wheat mesa]

can you show me exactly what you're doing?

[cobalt spruce]

I enabled all the intents on the discord dev application
