[neon leaf]

oh

[quartz kindle]

deflate is compression

[neon leaf]

thats pretty unintuitive

[quartz kindle]

well

deflate makes it smaller

pushes the air out of it

inflate makes it bigger

[neon leaf]

ah

[quartz kindle]

fills it up with air

xD

[wheat mesa]

Me when enums exist:

[neon leaf]

why would I wanna use an enum for that, that just seems annoying

[wheat mesa]

Union types with strings are annoying

They both perform the same function in this case but if it were me I’d prefer an enum there

[maiden gazelle]

hello can somebody help me with the last step of my afk command i need to make it that when someone mentions a person who triggered the >afk command it sends a embed with "this person is afk, reason: reason here" but my exactly problem is that i dont know how what to put in a messageCreate event to react when somebody got mentioned

[quartz kindle]

the message object contains a mentions field

[maiden gazelle]

uhhh yes how can i make that

[quartz kindle]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/class/MessageMentions

[maiden gazelle]

okay thank you

[agile field]

where can i find my top.gg token

do i need to add my bot?

[deft wolf]

Yes

[agile field]

hmm

thx

[real oriole]

Yeah that's what I thought but I'm not getting that, I get everything else but that

[quartz kindle]

weird, works fine for me

try testing it in a webhook tester website

and try changing your auth and saving again

to refresh the value

[real oriole]

this is what i get in the headers from the webhook
// "headers":{
// "accept":"application/json, text/plain, /",
// "content-type":"application/json",
// "user-agent":"Top.gg Webhook/1.0.0",
// "content-length":"101",
// "host":"*************",
// "connection":"close",
// "geoip-addr":"***********",
// "geoip-continent-code":"NA",
// "geoip-country-code":"US",
// "geoip-country-name":"United States"
// },

[hushed robin]

how would I check if a button is disabled in d.js?

[spark flint]

have you set the auth value on the top.gg website

[real oriole]

Oddly enough i got it when i sent to https://webhook.site/ but change it to my site then the authentication header is gone again

[quartz kindle]

do you use any proxy/reverse proxy?

like nginx, or cloudflare

[real oriole]

no i think its the apache setup for authorisation security stripping the header from the request,

need to talk to host maybe to see if they can allow it to pass through

be easier if they used X-Authorisation as a header key as this will get passed and not counted as a http auth request

like the same code works with patreon webhook they use x-patreon-signature and this passes through fine same as all other headers

[solemn latch]

👀 doesnt seem like a topgg issue though

sounds like a host issue

[crystal wigeon]

hey has anyone worked with pytube?

how do i download only 1 minute of a YT audio stream from a 10min video

[rustic nova]

Sus tos question

[earnest phoenix]

@client.command()
@client.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def setprefix(ctx, *, newprefix: str):
    with open("prefixes.json", "r") as f:
       prefix = json.load(f)

    prefix[str(ctx.guild.id)] = newprefix

    with open("prefixes.json", "w") as f:
        json.dump(prefix, f, indent=4)

How can I make it so only Admins can use this command

I keep getting this error
AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'has_permissions'

I just wanna know if it's even possible (Python)

[jaunty basalt]

Can someone tell me a way to replace all characters of string in English, if they are in some other language??

If there is any way so.

I want it for slash command string option. (I use javascript)

[crystal wigeon]

im working on a project haha XD AI related

[deft wolf]

Do you want your bot to be supported in two languages?

[jaunty basalt]

Nah, leave it I figured it out

Hey someone suggest me fun commands for my bot plz! I'm out of ideas.
(Not so advanced because I'm still learning)

[lament rock]

save yourself the trouble and dont make a bot

or at least dont make a public bot

I've been doing this shit for 5-6 years and I should have stopped while I was ahead because had I known the day of reckoning for music bots was upon us, I would have stopped.

[deft wolf]

It's true, unfortunately, it's sad to see how after time it turns out that all your work and probably a lot of money invested will be lost forever. Of course, knowledge, connections and so on stay, but you are somehow forced to make a new bot practically from scratch

[rustic nova]

you're trying to use a json file that is improperly formatted

if you wanna compare a list, do

"premium_users": [
  "user1",
  "user2"
]

or

[
  "user1",
  "user2"
]

dont think the second one is correct either

but the first one is for sure

[earnest phoenix]

i tryed 2 way
now there is a new problem
There are no errors but the response to the command does not respond

[rustic nova]

add debug lines lol

[earnest phoenix]

what it is?

[rustic nova]

remember that you're still trying to compare a integer with a list of strings

[rustic nova]

add print statements that allow you to see the flow of your code

[fierce bloom]

hello guys how to start

[deft wolf]

Start what exactly?

[eternal osprey]

how come that even after all these setbackground colors it is still white: java frame.setBackground(our_black); panel.setBackground(our_black); label.setBackground(our_black);

our_black is a valid color, i assured that

[lyric mountain]

still using the wrong casing I see

but anyway, show the rest of the code

[bright thorn]

Guys I think there is no more scope on discord

No more future on discord for bots

Discord implementing the bot ideas in discord

Which is killing the bots future in discord slowly slowly

[earnest phoenix]

My guy what are you even talking about?

[deft wolf]

Maybe he means /ban and /kick commands although I'm not entirely sure what it could be about

[spark flint]

nah

/ban and /kick have existed since slash commands first introduced

theyre not new at all

[deft wolf]

Maybe he had a predictive dream in which he saw the end of discord bots

[lyric mountain]

nah, I'm safe

[gleaming bolt]

I'm using fastify/middie but it's giving an error: "TypeError: reply.send is not a function"

[gleaming bolt]

fastify 2?

[grim aspen]

looks like it. never used it

[gleaming bolt]

hm...

I still get the same error because I'm on version v^4.12.0

[bright thorn]

100%%

Pain this message

It will be coming soon

[rustic nova]

Nah it wont

Unless discord wants to implement this one specific carding game into their UI and allow users to earn money on their platform and be able to generate images using their own UI and allow built-in musicbots

See

They will implement easier use of some non-specific features such as moderation into their site

But they wont add 95% of your remaining multi-purpose features of your bot into it

Because

Its actually unnecessary

[tepid flax]

if anyone knows py-cord dm me i have a quick paid job (one command)

[rustic nova]

depends

but this isnt fiverr or freelancer

just state what you need here

[neon leaf]

how can I pass an external function my class context in a object ({ context: this, otherstuff: 'yes' })? nodejs

[sudden geyser]

that's how it should work

then just give the object as an argument

[neon leaf]

well for some reason it doesnt, this is considered any when passing, probably because this is now referring to the object

[sudden geyser]

can you show more of your code

[sudden geyser]

what does hovering over this say

[neon leaf]

fixed it, worked when defining the key manually; context: this - not just this

[sudden geyser]

ah

then it was using this: this

so was just a naming problem

[craggy pine]

@drowsy crag

[rustic nova]

smh why ping again

[craggy pine]

Was going to say the same.

Because people might not want to be pinged unless its for a good reason. My ping was for a reason that has since been delt with.

[drowsy crag]

@covert gale

[agile field]

hello

i need to access to the apis

for educational purposes

[lyric mountain]

well, that's not how it works

[deft wolf]

You have to wait until they accept your bot

[agile field]

i've just sent my useless bot for the review

i don't want to scrape the website

it is for my master's thesis

[deft wolf]

Now wait and hope they accept it

[lyric mountain]

topgg only opens the api to approved bots, no other way around

if you stop to think, the api wouldn't even work since your bot would never receive votes

[agile field]

there are a lot of bots that are useless in top.gg list

[lyric mountain]

useless is a matter of view

[agile field]

how did they get accepted

[deft wolf]

Normally, they meet the requirements

[agile field]

https://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/portal/files/180463535/Polly_Discord.pdf

this paper has used top.gg

they've scraped

[lyric mountain]

this wouldn't work nowadays since the site includes bot protection

also, even with the api you'd not be able to achieve that

[agile field]

ok let me ask you something

do you have access to the api

[lyric mountain]

yes?

[agile field]

can you retrieve the bots attributes with searching their category?

[lyric mountain]

https://docs.top.gg/api/bot/

[agile field]

/bots?search=gaming

for example

limit 500

[lyric mountain]

this site includes everything u can search for

read it

[agile field]

i already

did

there is an example there but it searches with the bot's name

[lyric mountain]

if it doesn't mention seaching for specific tags, then u cant

[agile field]

ok

thx

can you try it for me?

[rustic nova]

check the "search" field

you are able to provide a list of tags iirc

[agile field]

yeah i saw it that's why i asked here

alright then

i need to have that access to the apis

i hope they accept

[sudden geyser]

looks fairly interesting

[rustic nova]

poor mudae mao

[candid spire]

How to create a vote required command?

[solemn latch]

You'll ideally use webhooks and store the votes in a database

[thick turtle]

Or lazily make an api call on the command (don't recommend)
https://top.gg/api/bots/:bot_id/check

[solemn latch]

Ratelimits will get you very quick with that.

[thick turtle]

Yup 😂

Periodically call the api for the get all votes endpoint and save it 👍

And take advantage of the webhook to get when people vote to then keep your saved version updated

[livid sequoia]

Good day everyone

Uhm. Would like to develop a discord bot

Where can I start reading, im zero knowledge

Or any developer for partnership on my idea. DM me

Just asking guys...

[earnest phoenix]

Start by learning the basics of a programming language, I recommend Python personally. JavaScript is also a good choice I believe.
Once you've got the basics of the language covered you can look at libraries such as discord.py. These make the process of creating a bot as well as commands etc much easier.

[wheat mesa]

I recommend neither python nor javascript as a first language (but if you insist on one of the two, javascript is the way to go), but something more like Java

Then move to a language like javascript after you understand types and such, then you can learn to make bots

[lyric mountain]

Python is a sugary trap for beginners

[onyx wind]

Javascript > Python if you just starting

[livid sequoia]

You can make bots in java,,?

[onyx wind]

ye

[lyric mountain]

You can make bots in pretty much any lang

[livid sequoia]

How bout dbase

Or discord will take care of dbase users

[lyric mountain]

You need to handle it yourself

[onyx wind]

You should join discord api. Literally all the goodies are there

[livid sequoia]

Ah oki

Oh you can monetize your api if you develop it

?

[lyric mountain]

Kinda, but nobody will pay

Not when huge popular libs already exist

[solemn latch]

Some bots get fair amounts of patreon supporters, but thats rare and after you gain good growth.

[wheat mesa]

Can someone explain how the actual FUCK this produces 395 ```java
int va = 99;
va = 3 + 3 * --va+va++;
System.out.println(va);

this was a competition question I had

(java)

the bytecode breaks all of the precedence order???????????

the fuck???

[sudden geyser]

3 * --va gets evaluated first

[wheat mesa]

In theory the order should be
va++,
--va
3 * (result of --va)
3 + (result of 3 * --va)
(result of the above) + (result of va++)

[sudden geyser]

va produces 98

[wheat mesa]

But that's wrong

[sudden geyser]

then the rest is evaluated left to right

[wheat mesa]

I understand what the bytecode means, but the precedence does not follow the order it should

this is the order it should follow

The post increment should be first, then pre decrement, then basic pemdas

[sudden geyser]

the order would only matter for --va

va++ wouldn't change the value of va

[wheat mesa]

Yes it would

[sudden geyser]

no it wouldn't

[wheat mesa]

va++ changes the value of va but returns the un-incremented value of va

[sudden geyser]

yeah

and that's the last thing that reads va

[wheat mesa]

No

That should be the first one to be evaluated

Which is why I'm so confused

post increment has the highest precedence in that entire expression

then pre decrement, then multiplication, then addition

[sudden geyser]

their precedence is clearly the same in the diagram

[sudden geyser]

oh there are two places

[wheat mesa]

this is bizarre behavior

surely there's a reason but still it's so weird

yeah it's definitely not a compiler bug, js has the same behavior

[sudden geyser]

new theory

[wheat mesa]

js AND java are broken 😉

nope C# same thing

[sudden geyser]

my idea is it has to do with semantics, as you can't use pre and post ++/-- in the same expression (i.e. you can't do --n++)

which means it goes back to left-right evaluation with the other orders

hence what I said before

[wheat mesa]

that would be super weird and not make much sense

[sudden geyser]

it may just be a niche only for specification, but I don't know

me personally, I think order of operations / precedence is a bad system that shouldn't exist in any language

[wheat mesa]

idk, I can't find anything about this sort of thing being disallowed

[sudden geyser]

try it and see

I couldn't get it to compile

[wheat mesa]

I meant my version of it

You can't do --n++ because n++ evaluates to a number and not a reference-able variable

But you can do --n+n++ because n++ evaluates to a number which is allowed in a binary expression obviously

[sudden geyser]

yes

[wheat mesa]

even so it makes no sense as to why they would disallow precedence to be used like that

I'll ask my CS teacher tomorrow

Maybe it's some obscure dogshit left in compilers for some tiny optimization reason of some sort

[earnest phoenix]

Precedence is actually put aside here because --va + va++ is unsequenced [1], in which the behavior is undefined [3] and it is unknown which of the operations will first take place as they have side effects [2]

[1] What are sequence points?
At certain specified points in the execution sequence called sequence points, all side effects of previous evaluations shall be complete and no side effects of subsequent evaluations shall have taken place

For example, at the end of the evaluation of full expressions (a full expression is an expression that is not a subexpression of another expression):

int foo = 5; // ; is a sequence point

In other words:
Sequence point is a point in time at which the dust has settled and all side effects which have been seen so far are guaranteed to be complete

[2] What are side effects?
Evaluation of an expression produces something and if in addition there is a change in the state of the execution environment it is said that the expression (its evaluation) has some side effect(s)

For example:

int foo = bar++; // where `bar` is also an int

In addition to the initialization operation, the value bar gets changed due to the side effects of the post-increment operator (++)

[3] What is undefined behavior?
Behaviors that may arise upon use of erroneous program constructs or erroneous data, in which the standards impose no requirements for the implementers, so they can decide the behavior

Between the previous and next sequence point a scalar object shall have its stored value modified at most once by the evaluation of an expression, what this means is that between two sequence points a variable must not be modified more than once

Here are examples of undefined behavior caused by unsequenced points:

i++ * ++i; // UB, `i` is modified more than once between two sequence points
i = ++i; // UB, same as above
i = ++i + 1; // UB, same as above

Here's a simplified explanation:

int va = 99;
va = --va + va++; // You'll get `196` because `--va` is evaluated first due to unsequenced points, because of undefined behavior

int va_ = 99;
// Going by our own perception of operator precedence, which is basically like this:

// Unary post-increment/decrement operators have higher precedence (temporary variable to store the original value because of the post-increment operator)
int temp = va_++;

// Unary pre-increment/decrement operators have lower precedence
--va_;

va_ = va_ + temp; // We'll get `198` because we did the operations with our own perception of operator precedence, as we're not affected by unsequenced points

holy shit

Compilers are smart enough to tell you about that behavior I just explained, for example, doing exactly what you're doing in C++ (compiling with Clang++), you'll get a warning as what you're doing is unsequenced

literal 🤓

Yes, I love being a nerd

[quartz kindle]

very interesting read

also found another nice explanation specifically for js, but may also be applicable to other langs

[lyric mountain]

Groovy allows it lmao, and yes, it's as useless as you'd think

Which allows u to do some whacky stuff

[ripe epoch]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)
statusChange = True
guilds = str(len(client.guilds))

@client.event  # Code to run on bot start
async def on_ready():
    print('ModzBott is running!')  
    print('----------------------------------')
    await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
    print('Loading cogs:')
    while statusChange == True:
        await asyncio.sleep(5)
        await client.change_presence(activity=nextcord.Game(name=f'/help | {guilds} servers!'))
        await asyncio.sleep(5)
        await client.change_presence(activity=nextcord.Game(name=f'/invite | {guilds} servers!'))```
I am rather confused as to why this code snippet is not working on my bot, the bot is in 20 servers however the bot status states 0. The bot token is correct and it is also connected to the correct bot. Any ideas as to why it is not showing the actual server count?

[deft wolf]

Where did you get this code from?

[ripe epoch]

This is my own

[rustic nova]

Whats your intents

[rustic nova]

I'm referring to your code

[ripe epoch]

 intents = discord.Intents.default()```

[rustic nova]

Specifically include the members intent

Check the docs

[deft wolf]

It is possible that the problem is guilds which is defined before the bot has started?

[ripe epoch]

yes it was, ive moved it into the on_ready function and it seems to be operating normally, thanks for the help!

[rocky hearth]

For a monorepo, should I put the licence field in packagejson to the root file or in all of my apps?

[surreal sage]

How to make Nginx listen to any port?
Like, I want the ipv6 and ipv4 listen ports to be anything as long it's from server_name

[ancient oar]

😳

[surreal sage]

[rigid maple]

can i make different backgrounds that change from user to user

[quartz kindle]

you cant

why would you even want that

[surreal sage]

Reverse proxy with one of my VPS' and my home server

[quartz kindle]

but why all ports lol, there are many ports that are system reserved and stuff like that

[surreal sage]

right

[quartz kindle]

you can set a range of ports like this listen 9000-9999

[surreal sage]

ah thanks

[quartz kindle]

but dont make it 0-64k lol

[surreal sage]

lmfao

[quartz kindle]

also

[surreal sage]

How do I make UDP reverse proxies work?
the stream { server { aint work for me

[quartz kindle]

here's another arguably better way of doing it

[quartz kindle]

listen 9999 udp should work

[sudden geyser]

so I was right

!!!

[rigid maple]

When I add a class to an element using js, does it only change for the user entering from that computer or is everyone affected?

[rustic nova]

?

are you referring to like, changing elements within the site the user is viewing?

[rigid maple]

no i want to show the same <div> as red to one user and green to another

i get this color from localStorage

I will change the color of the div according to the data from localstorage with js

[rustic nova]

localStorages are linked to a website domain so yes, it would change the color for any user logged into that specific browser where the localStorage is set

that data of course stays after creating new browser sessions

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage

[lyric mountain]

do you want to destroy your server? because that's how you destroy your server

[rustic nova]

still dont get the thought-process behind it

the default port for http (80) is good enough

[rigid maple]

thanks

[carmine summit]

Can I read messages sent to my bot in direct messages?

messageCreate event doesnt seem to trigger when its a direct message

[rustic nova]

ensure you have the correct intents

[carmine summit]

It triggers fine on the server

Is there any special intents for direct messages?

[dusty whale]

I'm struggling to get my bot to work in bigger servers (100k+ members), but it's working in smaller servers. The bot is possible to add, but command is not working in bigger servers. What could I be doing wrong? My bot is https://memix.lol

Thank you so much!

[lyric mountain]

What exactly isn't working?

[craggy pine]

That's kinda advertising no?

[lyric mountain]

Hi miyu

[craggy pine]

[dusty whale]

No, not advertising, sorry

didn't mean it to be at least

I'm not sure why it's not working

that's my problem

It works in "smaller" servers, but it's non-working in bigger servers for some reason

could it be something with permissions?

do you need more permissions in bigger servers that has more advanced roles, etc?

[lyric mountain]

You need to specify what "not working" means

[dusty whale]

The command is not working

the bot is there

added

[lyric mountain]

WHAT command?

[dusty whale]

but the command doesn't work

/memix

the bot command

[lyric mountain]

Ok, we're advancing

What does that command do?

[craggy pine]

Wrap the command in a try catch and print the error catch throws assuming it's attempting to run

[lyric mountain]

What does it do?

[dusty whale]

the command generates a meme that you can change the text of

here's a gif

of how it works basically

[lyric mountain]

Mind sharing the code here?

[lyric mountain]

Only code relevant to the command btw

[deft wolf]

How it works on the server is one thing, but how it works from the code level is a completely different thing

[dusty whale]

ah ok

[lyric mountain]

Yes, that

[dusty whale]

thank you so much for this guys btw

really helpful, although I'm still kinda lost lol

but thank you for real

[lyric mountain]

Don't worry, but to help you we'll need to see the code

Else it'll be just guessing

The possible issues could be lack of embed permission, unable to talk in channel, faulty api or getting user through cache

[foggy yoke]

yeah

you should check the error as well, if any

[dusty whale]

how can I check that :/

thank you!!

[lyric mountain]

Yes, the console will usually show what happenwd

[dusty whale]

oh

[lyric mountain]

Do you use a vps?

Or is the bot hosted in stuff like pterodactyl?

[dusty whale]

i dont see anything in own API logs

[lyric mountain]

The screen u use to start the bot, does it show any error?

[dusty whale]

no, nothing there either

also it confirms auth and adds properly through the bot page as well

just big servers that's affected

it becomes non-working

[craggy pine]

Then it kind of goes back to the first thing Kuu asked for which was, can you share the code so we can help debug it.

[dusty whale]

the command

but it still shows the previous working commands sends

because SOMETIMES it works

[wheat mesa]

^^

[dusty whale]

but then stops working

yeah will do

thanks guys!!

[foggy yoke]

i think you should check the error

it will tell you EXACTLY wht went wrong

[craggy pine]

they already said they were not getting an error.

[foggy yoke]

ah ok

sorry then

my bad

code it is

[dusty whale]

which part of the code would be most helpful?

any specific?

[foggy yoke]

the command

[craggy pine]

the more related to the command probably the better.

[hazy jewel]

i need help with my discord bot

[deft wolf]

With what exactly?

[hazy jewel]

i cant launch it

[deft wolf]

And what language do you use?

[hazy jewel]

JavaScript

[deft wolf]

So what exactly is not going your way? Bot won't log in or what?

[hazy jewel]

it cant launch

this is code fragment
if (msg.content.startsWith('/ban')) {

there is missing ","

[deft wolf]

But the bot is active, it just doesn't respond to commands, right?

Active I mean it's online

[hazy jewel]

its offline

it doesnt launch

[wheat mesa]

You haven’t given us an error or anything to work with. The information you have provided is extremely vague and we’re basically just guessing what your problem is. Please be more specific

[hazy jewel]

',' expected.

this is error

[wheat mesa]

That has nothing to do with the code you posted

[hazy jewel]

in problems in VSCode there is this error

[wheat mesa]

That is somehow more vague than all of the other info you gave us

[hazy jewel]

i can send you full code and node.js errors that appear when starting bot

[deft wolf]

Then send it on this channel

But don't send the bot token by accident

[deft wolf]

For some reason you have "{" in front of "client.on()"

[solemn latch]

👀 your code editor should give warnings for that

[deft wolf]

It gave him a warning, but I don't think he knows how to read it

[hazy jewel]

these are node.js errors

Nynu seems to already have answered a problem in your code.

[craggy pine]

^ here

[deft wolf]

Do you want me to send you the corrected version or tell you where the error is?

[quartz kindle]

dont teach them bad habits lol

[hazy jewel]

please send me corrected version beacuse when i removed { it created more problems in VSCode

[deft wolf]

Because the whole part responsible for the ban command is completely outside the messageCreate event

[quartz kindle]

for every { there must be a } to close it. if your code has one extra { or one extra } somewhere it will not work. this types of issues are easy to detect if your code is properly indented, you can use some auto formatter/beautifier to help you

[deft wolf]

Also, I'm not entirely sure what the for(let index) part is supposed to do, which apparently doesn't do anything in this file

@hazy jewel

[lyric mountain]

they changed the formatting, again

added padding and round corners

[hazy jewel]

this is the error

this is another error

[deft wolf]

You have no intents listed in your client

https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/intents.html#enabling-intents

It's explained very nicely here

Also if you are using discord.js v14 then you will need to change event message to messageCreate

[hazy jewel]

there is TypeError [ClientMissingIntents]

[deft wolf]

Now you need to go to https://discord.dev and enable the intents you need

You click "Applications", select your application that you use, go to the "Bot" tab and scroll down a bit

I can't, but you should be able to use those toggles normally

[hazy jewel]

i enabled everythiiiing and the error iiis the same

[deft wolf]

Okay, what intents did you add to the client?

I mean what you added to your new Discord.Client()

[wheat mesa]

Please learn your programming language before you make a discord bot

[rustic nova]

lmao

[lyric mountain]

given the code is being ran by a single file named message.js inside Downloads folder, I BET it's a "no code required" badge unlocker

also fuck, discord utterly destroyed the image viewer

[hushed robin]

well you can’t get the badge from prefix commands

[lyric mountain]

that's true too, but I don't think they're the one writing the bot at least

[hushed robin]

probably just copied and pasted code and assumed it would work 😁

[deft wolf]

A year ago it might have worked

[hazy jewel]

GUILD_CREATE and MESSAGE_CREATE

[deft wolf]

I mean what you have in this part of the code, because GUILD_CREATE and MESSAGE_CREATE are not really intents

You need the Guilds and Guild Messages intent to receive messages from the servers

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#list-of-intents

When you go to this website, it contains a list of intents and events that are subject to this intent

[compact briar]

im creating a dashboard for my bot and need to ensure the user has manage_guild before allowing them to make changes to the guild settings. Am i going to need to apply for the GUILD_MEMBERS intent?

[quartz kindle]

no

you only need it if you want to list all members in your dashboard

you dont need it to get information about a single guild member

[compact briar]

the only issue i can see is ensuring they are in the cache when fetching the member. If they arent in the cache, wouldnt the bot need to fetch all members to find them?

[lyric mountain]

You'll already know the ID of the user that accessed the dashboard

All u need to do is fetch that specific member

And fetch works independently of cache

[eternal osprey]

Hey does anyone know why my gif is not playing in the frame using java swing?

  closeWindow(registerFrame);
        Color our_orange = Color.decode("#ff8c00");
        URL imgUrl2 = this.getClass().getResource("cool-loading-animation-gif-4.gif");
        Icon icon = new ImageIcon(imgUrl2);
        JLabel label = new JLabel(icon);
        JFrame f = new JFrame("Animation");
        f.getContentPane().add(label);
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
        loadingFrame = f;```

I only get a white frame instead of an actual gif playing

[surreal sage]

How can you run a bash command outside a Node process?
My goal is to fire a shell script
Wait one second
And run a command (which would restart the node process)

I don't want node to attach to that shell script
No awaiting responses or anything

[lyric mountain]

because for gifs u need to do a few tricks

[eternal osprey]

Please tell me the tricks

[lyric mountain]

google

java technically supports gif, but it moshes it all together when converting to bufferedimage

[neon leaf]

whats a regex to match if the first and last letter of a string are for example b?

[lyric mountain]

so you need not to convert to bufferedimage

[lyric mountain]

^b.*b$

[eternal osprey]

If i knew what to google i would

[lyric mountain]

"how to play gif in label java"

[eternal osprey]

i already searched up java swing not showing gif

[neon leaf]

thanks!

[eternal osprey]

 Icon icon = new ImageIcon("cool-loading-animation-gif-4.gif");
        JLabel label = new JLabel(icon);
        JFrame f = new JFrame("Animation");

        f.getContentPane().add(label);
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);


        f.setSize(800,600);
        loadingFrame = f;```okay so i have searched how to display a gif

only thing showing up is a black screen with nothing

[lyric mountain]

dont do JFrame.getContentPane().add()

just add it directly

also u need to set that frame as the window's content pane

[compact briar]

if im correct, fetching returns the user not the member. from what i know you can only get the permissions from the member

[deft wolf]

I'm not too familiar with AOuth, but isn't it that when user log in, you can check what servers this person is on and read their permissions?

I'm referring to that - https://stackoverflow.com/a/69529260

[earnest phoenix]

There are two endpoints for fetching, users and guild members, the guild members one is GET /guilds/:id/members so either use the method the Discord API library you're using provides for that, or make a GET request to that endpoint if you're not using any Discord API libraries

[lofty cipher]

Does this look good? https://pastes.dev/MDixxpzF6f

[eternal osprey]

omg i swear sometimes the gif loads in, other times it just doesn't

[wheat mesa]

Welcome to swing 🧌

[eternal osprey]

 public void guiLoader() {
        closeWindow(registerFrame);

        URL img = this.getClass().getResource("ezgif.com-resize.gif");
//Make it to an Icon
        Icon icon = new ImageIcon(img);
//Make a new JLabel that shows "icon"
        JLabel Gif = new JLabel(icon);

//Make a new Window
        JFrame main = new JFrame("Zorgzaam | Planning & Administratie");
        loadingFrame = main;
//adds the JLabel to the Window
        main.getContentPane().add(Gif);
//Shows where and how big the Window is
        main.setBounds(800,800, 800, 800);
//set the Default Close Operation to Exit everything on Close
        main.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
//Open the Window
        main.setVisible(true);
```like honestly what the fuck am i doing wrong

i questioned myself so i copied a random guy's code from stackoverflow to test, i resized the gif, i downscaled the gif, i format it

brev tf

[earnest phoenix]

You can do that within Node.js itself, no need for additional shell scripts:

// Import the `spawn()` method to spawn a child process which'll be the Node.js process in this case
import { spawn } from 'node:child_process';
import { setTimeout as setPromisedTimeout } from 'node:timers/promises';

async function restartProcess() {
  // Check if the process is restarting, note that we're setting the `PROCESS_RESTARTING` environment variable ourselves 
  if (process.env.PROCESS_RESTARTING === '1') {
    process.env.PROCESS_RESTARTING = '0';

    // Give 1 second for the previous process to fully shut down and exit just in case
    await setPromisedTimeout(1_000);
  }

  // Spawn a child process with the command line arguments of the current process
  spawn(process.argv[0], process.argv.slice(1), {
    // Set the environment variables 
    env: { ...process.env, PROCESS_RESTARTING: '1' },
    // Prepare the child process to run independently of it's parent process
    detached: true,
    // Inherit the current standard input/output
    stdio: 'inherit'
  })
    // Unreference the child process from the parent process so the parent process doesn't wait for the said child process to exit
    .unref();

  // Exit the process
  process.exit(0);
}

But I would recommend using a process manager for this use case instead

[eternal osprey]

aha found the issue

thread.sleep

[lyric mountain]

fetch guild -> fetch member

[eternal osprey]

So my gif is actually being interrupted from loading by my thread.sleep

would there be any way to make sure that gif is loaded? I was thinking about wrapping it in a new thread

[earnest phoenix]

1. Use a formatter like Prettier
2. Use a database to store cooldowns and such, because otherwise they'll be reset upon restart
3. Avoid setting properties to the global object to be used globally, as this can cause unexpected issues or cause libraries to fail, and since libraries can also access this property, this can be a security vulnerability as well, instead, export the value and import it where you want to use it
4. Instead of using the rjutils-collection library to get a random number between ranges, use the built-in randomInt() method from the node:crypto module, for example: randomInt(30, 50)

[lofty cipher]

You're putting semicolons in expressions, you're passing arguments to a function there, and to pass other arguments you need to use colons to separate them

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Functions

These are where the colons are supposed to go (remove the semicolons that I'm pointing out here as well)

Calculate text offset

y + text.height * line

"how do I get line?"

Calculate text width, when it pass given boundary, do line++

Hello, I am facing some issues with redis, our redis setup is clusterized.

Redis version: 7.x
Client: ioredis (nodejs)
Setup: 3 master redis and 3 slaves
Error log: https://hastebin.com/share/umumujunoj.bash

[lyric mountain]

redis...clusterized?

redis?

like, it's supposed to be used as a cache layer, not as an actual database

it can be one, but it'll be subpar compared to dedicate databases

[cinder stratus]

Well we are using it for cache, we have postgre for db

[lyric mountain]

why is it clusterized then?

[cinder stratus]

Its microservice, every cache is on redis.

[lyric mountain]

Not sure if I understand, but anyway

I think ur getting that due to a deadlock

Like, many processes trying to get the file's lock

[cinder stratus]

I kinda get the error now it's like redis is loading all the data and before it finished processing that you just made bunch of requests to redis do "things"

[lyric mountain]

Can't u wait it?

[cloud agate]

does anyone know if changing status (client.change_presence) with the AutoShardedBot on discord.py carries over to all shards?

[cinder stratus]

Yeah just, thinking what would be the best approach to handle it, make a queue or what.

[lyric mountain]

Nono, just prevent the runtime from advancing before it finished loading

It'll delay the startup a bit, but it'll guarantee u don't have cache mismatch

[cinder stratus]

I see.

[tame linden]

Hello everyone, I try to create a bot for play music on youtube and hosting on Heroku. It's works well on my computer but too lag on the host. What should I do

[deft wolf]

Buy a VPS

Free hosting sites are not suitable for hosting music bots

Music bots require a lot more resources than a regular text command bot

[tame linden]

Heroku pricing is 7$ for a month. Not free anymore but I have use Heroku for a long time and dont want to change another provider.

[tame linden]

A VPS will fixed this problem, right?

[deft wolf]

From what I see, for $5 on Heroku you get 512mb of ram

It's probably not enough for a music bot, unfortunately

[neon leaf]

holy shit thats overpriced

[tame linden]

Thank you very much. I will try to by a VPS to host my bot now

[deft wolf]

I mean, I'm just writing that for this price you would probably get a VPS twice, if not 3 times better

I checked the prices on OVH and for less than $7 you get 1 vCore and 2GB of ram

I personally have 4GB of ram and 2 vCore which is enough for me for less than $7 but I buy servers on Polish hosting so these prices will never be comparable

[tame linden]

How about Orcale, I heard they're have a free tier plan. I think this will be useful for a newbie like me

How do you feel about their VPS

[deft wolf]

It should be good especially since it has a free trial period so you can decide if you want to stay with it or go back to Heroku

[eternal osprey]

owh wow i will have a look in that, thank you.

btw thanks to everyone helping me out with understanding java and its scopes. Thanks to yall i got a 91% on my assignment!

[rapid canopy]

i can't logged

[deft wolf]

I hope this token doesn't work

And besides, you need to define in your client what intents it should use

https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/intents.html#enabling-intents

This should help you

[rapid canopy]

thank you so much

[tame linden]

Hello, I'm trying to use EC2 Instance of Amazon Web Services to run the bot. Seem like it's works!

[rustic nova]

running a bot on aws

thats new to me

[tame linden]

I think my code have problem. It's still lag on aws

[deft wolf]

Is your code from the internet or did you write it yourself?

I'm curious because if it was from the Internet, I could try to run it on my VPS and check if it's the fault of the code or AWS

[tame linden]

I'm writing it my self using a library on github. But it's works on my computer, when i run it on else where, the lag occurs

[quartz kindle]

what kind of lag? commands take too long to respond?

[tame linden]

Audio playback lag

[quartz kindle]

ah

whats your instance specs?

[rustic nova]

its a free trial

so probably not good

[quartz kindle]

audio takes a lot of resources, especially if you're transcoding in real time

the free trial one might not be strong enough

[tame linden]

1 GB Ram, 2 vCPU

[craggy pine]

very low for audio

[tame linden]

How can I upgrade it

[tame linden]

How much is enough for playback audio

[rustic nova]

probably no trial / free thing is gonna be sufficient for it

[tame linden]

Do you run a music bot, what specs did you used on it

I dont know how much are enough

[rustic nova]

I do not, I run multiple private applications that have something to do with audio though

[craggy pine]

I use a minimum of 4gbs of ram to run a bot that only does music and other smaller tasks.

[tame linden]

How about CPU cores, does it important to the bot

Too many differnt cpu selection

[craggy pine]

I actually run a 1 core Intel cpu w/o any lagging.

[tame linden]

Thank you very much. Theses information are very helpful to me

Thank you everyone for the help

[lyric mountain]

Hope you go deeper into it even after your assignments, there's so much to still uncover

[eternal osprey]

Is this a correct logical circuit of xnor?

I just thought about implementing the principles of the xor and then complementing it

[lyric mountain]

Write the XNOR truth table

[eternal osprey]

I mean i know it would be true, but rather the implementation of the components of logical circuits

[lyric mountain]

Yes, write the truth table

When implementing a gate u need a truth table

Makes it much easier to write the code later

That said, java already has xnor anyway

[eternal osprey]

I see thank you! I had created a truth table already and it was correct just was a bit insecure about whether the logical circuit was valid.

Yeah, this is not for the Java course but processors 🙂

[lyric mountain]

Ah yes

[wheat mesa]

I'm just curious, for this logic gate class, do you guys actually get to build these circuits?

I have a similar course that we get to actually build the circuits in, 10/10 would recommend trying it sometime if you haven't

[eternal osprey]

no sadly not, only abstract circuits.

[wheat mesa]

Damn

[eternal osprey]

It would help a lot but we only got 7 weeks for the course 😦

[wheat mesa]

It's much more intuitive when you get to actually breadboard them

[eternal osprey]

Yeah indeed i am a bit of a visual learner so i find it pretty hard without being practical indee

I honestly almost understand the whole lecture so far, but one thing that fucked my mind was this:

I honestly have no fucking clue what this means. I have looked at wikipedia etc but i can't find anything about ALU flags. Like, where do i look? Must i compare the MOST left bits of 2 bitstrings (this is about bit additions)

[wheat mesa]

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Microprocessor_Design/ALU_Flags

This is something you generally look at when you're programming in assembly

[eternal osprey]

ooowh

so we must actually look at ALL the bits of the bitstrings that we are adding?

not only the MSB

[tame linden]

It's look like the library I'm using need more resources than others. I'm try to run 2 vcpu and 4 gb ram and the low quality audio can works well but high quality still laggy. Thank you for your knowledge have help me to learn a lot today.

[wheat mesa]

The overflow bit is important for checking for errors

The carry out bit flag is something I don't know about, I've heard the term but I haven't actually looked into it

ah okay that's pretty simple

[eternal osprey]

The thing is, what do they mean with "result"

[wheat mesa]

Adding two numbers

[eternal osprey]

Must you look at each bit and compare them? Must you look at the resulted bitstring after adding them?

[eternal osprey]

Ooowh okay so adding them and then "looping" over each bit

[wheat mesa]

Well, it's not as simple as just ORing the bits together

The logic gates used for it are more complex than that, but I'm assuming the ZERO flag is a fast way to compare two numbers since it only requires 1 gate operation per bit of the two numbers you're adding

yeah it's just a quick way to compare two numbers essentially

[eternal osprey]

so if i understand it correctly, a zero flag is when all bits are 0 in the result?

[wheat mesa]

Essentially yes

I'm not quite sure if that's a perfect explanation of it, as I'm not an expert on the topic

but I would assume that's basically how it works

[eternal osprey]

i see, and eventually last question (honestly sorry for my dumbness) if we have overflow we also have carry right?

[wheat mesa]

so in this example, BEQ would likely be checking the ZERO flag on the CPU instead of worrying about the result

[eternal osprey]

I mean, a bit is a mod 2 calculation, so if it's for example 1+1 = 2 = 0 and 1 gets carried away

[eternal osprey]

owhh i see

[wheat mesa]

I believe so? I'm not fully versed in half-adders and things of the sort

[eternal osprey]

Okay, thank you very much for all the help waffle!

[wheat mesa]

np C:

Btw @eternal osprey if you want to get better at logic gates and such, there's a game on steam called Turing Complete. It's great for creating low level circuit simulations and it's quite fun to progress through the levels

[eternal osprey]

Owhh really? That's really cool. I will definitely have a look at it

The flags are pretty clear to me thanks to you, thanks bro!

Would these flags be the same when working with two-cmplement? @wheat mesa

two complement binary system*

[wheat mesa]

I'm not entirely sure of the low level implementation details surrounding two's compliment

I just know how to convert to and from it lol

As the abstraction gets higher level, the low level logic starts to become incredibly complex

[eternal osprey]

Owh my bad i indeed serached it up, if the msb is 1 it accounts for negative

else its positive

[wheat mesa]

I see

[slender wagon]

is the userId from discord an integer or string

[rustic nova]

depends on library

generally the string variant is used

[slender wagon]

discord.js

[rustic nova]

though you can just cast it to/from a string

[slender wagon]

i am getting it from an interaction

[rustic nova]

yeah the discord.js one is string based

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/typedef/Snowflake

[coarse yoke]

@pliant owl

welp

[rustic nova]

thats a bot of yours

bots dont get added here

[coarse yoke]

they did

not anymore

ig

i remember testing him here

[rustic nova]

iirc kicked back in like, 2017-18

nevermind your bot was deleted before so it wouldnt have been here to begin with

[coarse yoke]

ye it was deleted cuz the page for him broke cuz i put the owner of the bot as a team and then deleted the team

[winged linden]

yo question

guild.members.forEach(async (member) => {})

this is possible to do?

[rustic nova]

do something with the members of each guild?

if your bot has that intent, yeah

[winged linden]

yeah

[rustic nova]

also ratelimits ofc

[winged linden]

yeah thats no worries, i aint doing smth with everyone

its a verfication system for nfts 🙂

[winged linden]

any idea why i am getting this error?

nvm

          const members = await guild.members.fetch();```

fixed it like that

and used members.forEach()

[rustic nova]

yeah just have to remember that .fetch() fetches all the members

which can cause ratelimits and/or cause delays processing things on your end

since that fetch actively requests the members from discord

[lyric mountain]

depending on what ur doing, I'd highly recommend against

[winged linden]

isnt it considered 1 request?

what should i do then if i have to loop over the users every 2 min

keep in note, its just 1 server 🙂

[winged linden]

its to verify if their wallets hold an nft or not ser

[lofty cipher]

Is this better than the other code? https://pastes.dev/4vCgm4v4Ce

[lyric mountain]

uhh...but why fetch?

like, don't u already have a database?

[winged linden]

how can i go over them then?

[winged linden]

i do have a database but what if someone is new and not in the database

[winged linden]

@lyric mountain

[lyric mountain]

idk

[lyric mountain]

if they're new then they wont have nft

or whatever ur doing

you should refrain from doing api operations whenever possible

[winged linden]

i will show u the code to see what i mean cuz i have to do it that way

      verifyservers.find().then(async function (b) {
        for (const server of b) {
          const address_to_track = server.track_address;
          const guildid = server.server_id;
          const roles = server.roles;

          const guild = client.guilds.cache.get(guildid);

          const members = await guild.members.fetch();

          members.forEach(async (member) => {
            const account = await profiles.find({ discord_id: member.id });
            let count = 0;
            if (account.length > 0) {
              //check linked wallets, if they hold any nfts give role if not do nothing
            } else {
              //remove related roles cuz he didnt have his wallets linked yet
            }
          });
        }
      });
    };```

@lyric mountain

[lyric mountain]

u ping a lot dont u

[winged linden]

anyways, its all good lol, 2 requests every 2 mins wont hurt much

[winged linden]

just once, others was a reply lol sorry

twice just noticed lmao

[craggy pine]

replying pings aswell 😛

[lyric mountain]

iterate over database users

instead of guild members

[winged linden]

yeah i am turning it off now

[winged linden]

i could but like that role can be assigned to someone by a mod and the role will never be removed

also, i can have a timeout every time it gives a role, that way i am not going over the limit

[lyric mountain]

update user status when events happen

like joining guild, role add, message, etc

[neon leaf]

this isnt necessarily about programming but does anyone know how to fix this? Lets say 3 players join my Minecraft Server; the first two have a normal ping and the other one always, always a bad one. Once a fourth player joins he just gets kicked because his connection reset. what? I have full access to the vps so help me here, I already searched for resets in tshark (wireshark) and found this:

[winged linden]

its currently only 1 server so ig that should do the work now, once i have a more servers using that feature i can have a timeout between each server
like that
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));

the problem is updating user database wont be an option on the long run, it will probably cause more problems

[winged linden]

i am pretty sure its cause of the specs your vps have

whats your specs anyways?

[neon leaf]

it isnt im quite certain

[lyric mountain]

sigh, why do people always settle at "enough for now"?

it only makes harder to fix later on

[winged linden]

ah well not sure then sorry, i remember it happened to be back in the day when i used to play

[winged linden]

cause the enough for now might be better then adding each user that joins to the database

for now its just 1 server, later on its gonna be much more

having timeouts wont hurt

[lyric mountain]

didn't tell u to add 'em

I told u to update their status when events happen

having timeouts WILL hurt

if you settle at "good enough" it'll create the bad habit of leaving technical debts unpaid

[winged linden]

i want it to be automated bro... once a user links his wallet on the dashboard he just waits and gets the role

[winged linden]

why

[lyric mountain]

and they'll end up forcing u to rewrite the entire thing again

[winged linden]

yeah ik it happened to me before lol thats why i am trying to have the best option right now

but really man, i cant just update their status on events

[lyric mountain]

why not?

it's 1000x better to call your database often than call the api often

[winged linden]

1)i can 100% update once they link wallets, but what if they sold the nft, what if they bought more and need a higher role
2)i can add a database of users, but this database could be huge and could cause problems on the long run lets say i had to shut down the server for 5mins and like 500 users joined servers and i dont have them in my database
3)tracking real time data for my scenario is better cause as i said it depends if they hold nfts or not

[winged linden]

True i agree with that, but 2-5 requests per second wont hurt, limit is 50

[lyric mountain]

uh, it will

with 2 servers that's 4-10 requests

[winged linden]

not really, i am looping over servers in series

i can have a 1s timeout between each server and boom that issue is solved

i will have the interval set to the number of servers i have +30 s

[lyric mountain]

I wont argue because 99% of the time they end up ignoring

but the way ur doing it, expect to be contantly hitting the ratelimit

[winged linden]

i understand what u are saying i swear but currently its the best option to have it like that

[lyric mountain]

it's the worst option

like, really

databases are made for huge amounts of transactions per second

and by huge I mean millions

while apis expect low amount of calls

the way ur doing it will require rewriting very soon

[winged linden]

suggest another way to make it automated, i cant track member joins of all the servers i got, it will be a hard and adding all the current members could hit rate limit

why would i hit the rate limit if i am sure its a max of 2-5 requests per second

[lyric mountain]

already did

[lyric mountain]

also, events do not hit the api

so you'll never hit ratelimit for listening to events

the only thing that can happen is crashing ur bot if u create too many listeners

[lyric mountain]

because it wont be only 2-5 requests

also, there's another little detail

fetching all members WILL crash your bot due to OOM

[winged linden]

ah great then but again, what if my bot went offline for 5mins and those 5 users that joined i didnt add to the database

they will be left stranded (i know they wont be holding any nfts and they are useless but they could be given the role by a mod and i will not be able to remove it cause sometimes roles in this space are given just to test stuff)

[lyric mountain]

when they talk add them

there are way too many events u can use for tracking it

if a member never talks u might as well not worry abt them

[winged linden]

i have a strong server thats no worries

[lyric mountain]

no server is strong enough

[rustic nova]

you could even use a join channel and check for joins that happened during your bots downtime

if the server provides one that is

[winged linden]

ah well i could apply listeners to lots of servers normally?

[lyric mountain]

listeners are global, not server-specific

but yes, u can listen to all events if u want

discord wont complain

[winged linden]

ah thats nice, i could do that. i will check what i could do and let you know 🤝

thanks alot 😄

[lyric mountain]

just make sure whatever u do, consider as if u were working with 1000 guilds

that way u ensure it'll grow smoothly over time

[winged linden]

yeah thats exactly what i ma trying to do cause before i had to rewrite lots of pieces of code to fix stuff

now i make it in chunks as functions , if something is wrong i just fix the function / rewrite it

[lament rock]

Another way to ensure messages reach you is to separate your Discord gateway connection to another process and then send dispatch events to an aqmp instance and have your main bot or cache worker listen to amqp. The messages stay in a queue until they're consumed

[hallow shell]

how do i update my bot's profile pic on top.gg

[sharp geyser]

So say I had a camera and I wanted to view it on my pc/phone. How would I stream what the camera is viewing to my device of choice

I'd assume I would need smth to process these video streams of some sort to actually display it

[lament rock]

you'd have to encode it to something like h.264 or av1 and then have a client on the target device to decode the stream

[sharp geyser]

I see

Is there any difference in efficiency in these encodings

[oblique sky]

Yes, h.264 is also known as .mp4
Some people use avi or other encodings, their size and speed is difference, you can search online for comparison between those encodings

[carmine summit]

Can I read messages sent to my bot in direct messages?
messageCreate event doesnt seem to trigger when its a direct message
It triggers fine on the server
Is there any special intents for direct messages?

[deft wolf]

Yes

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#list-of-intents

You're specifically interested in one, "DIRECT_MESSAGES", unless you want to receive reactions as well

[tame linden]

I'm actually recognized the problem of laggy in my discord bot. As you know, I have tried to host on Heroku and AWS and the problem still there. But today, I have tried to host on Google Cloud and the suprise is it no more lags when playback. The specs on AWS: 2vCPU - 8 GB Ram ( I have try on differences specs, this is the maximum) and Google Cloud is: 1vCPU, 1GB Ram. So, seem like google are limiting the traffic from AWS to their server (?). I dont know

[viral badge]

one of my bots get really high ping "out of nowhere" sometimes (it suddenly starts being slow), this is /ping command using message listener method
(too slow for interaction)
Gets fixed by a bot restart
(the lower ping one is another one of my bots on the same machine so yall know its not some internet issue)
Ram usage: 0.3 GB

[rustic nova]

Either sudden spikes by your host

Or performance issues caused by overloading/not enough power

Keep an eye on both your server traffic nonetheless, aswell as your bots cache size and ram usage

[viral spade]

Hello, im using discord.js v14.7 on a bot with close to 100 shards.

Suddenly the bots started to go offline in some servers seemingly random. Other servers on the same shard are working just fine, and the shard, where the affected server is on, is still showing as online with uptime of multiple days.

Any ideas why the bot shows as offline and is not responding on some servers?

[eternal osprey]

Hey guys, i have created a multiplexor, how can i output 1 if there's parity?

[quartz kindle]

if the shard where the server is, is online and responding, then the server might be unavailable, which happens due to discord outages or server bugs

in any case you can try restarting that specific shard and see if the guild works again

if it still doesnt work even after restarting then its a discord issue most likely

[viral spade]

thanks ill try that!

[feral aspen]

I'm attempting to host an Umami application, and I was able to setup everything correctly. However, when it comes to logging in, the moment I click 'login', I get the following error of:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
error Command failed with exit code 139.

I'm not sure, however, what's causing this issue. I've setup everything right, and the application starts, oh well. Although, it's the logging in that is the issue.

[lament rock]

segmentation fault commonly occurs when referencing a null pointer, so the code is at fault (no pun intended)

[feral aspen]

I mean the code is from the GitHub the documentation lead me to download, so I'm not sure.

[lament rock]

like I said, its an issue with the code

[feral aspen]

Great. ;-; (no analytics, then)

Though it'd be funny if I debugged it myself.

[lament rock]

Use something like StatsD if you need application analytics

or figure out graphana

[feral aspen]

I heard Umami was a good one, that's why I decided to use it.

Are they paid? If so, that's the great thing about Umami, it's free.

[neon leaf]

so I let users make reverse proxies with nginx and also upload ssl certs (!)
if they are invalid in most cases I tell the user but I cant detect everything and in worst case scenario nginx wont reload because its invalid; how can I make nginx ignore all ssl cert errors and just use a default one if it fails?

[quartz kindle]

you mean this? https://github.com/umami-software/umami

[wheat mesa]

Yeah unfortunately segfaults are difficult to debug especially if they’re not coming from your end of the code

So that’s uh… good luck

[feral aspen]

Yes.

[wheat mesa]

Wait this is written in js

[feral aspen]

Yes.

[wheat mesa]

How the hell did they fuck up so badly they got a segfault

In js

I would understand causing a segfault if it were written in C, C++, C#, or rust, but javascript??

[quartz kindle]

probably a native dependency for some reason

[jaunty basalt]

Hey anyone know how to change an image to circular using canvacord npm package

I'mma trying to do with an avatar url (discord)

Plz tell

[viral spade]

hi, i am using discord.js v14 and trying to restart a shard.

I am receiving the ids of the shards that are queued for a restart from my db into my shardingmanager process. There i will search for the shard and trigger its respawn function.

const shard = manager.shards.find(shard => shard.id == shardId);
if (shard) await shard.respawn();

however, it seems like the shard is not properly shut down, the shard process seems to run multiple times, for each respawn i did. All the shard's cronjobs run multiple times and when triggering a command i get "Interaction has already been acknowleged" multiple times.

Any idea why the shard is not shutting down properly and restarting, so only one instance of it is running at all times?

[quartz kindle]

would need to see more code

[viral spade]

https://github.com/Rapha01/activityRankBot/tree/master/src/cron

[quartz kindle]

how did you run the respawn code?

eval command?

[viral spade]

no i just did .respawn on the shard object

https://github.com/Rapha01/activityRankBot/blob/master/src/cron/checkQueuedShardRestarts.js
here instead of .kill

[quartz kindle]

do you just set restartQueued in your db and wait for the cron to pick it up?

[viral spade]

yes

[quartz kindle]

and how do you set it back to 0 in the db?

after it restarted

[viral spade]

the commented-out code will do it (before even respawning)

just not doing it now before its working

[jaunty basalt]

Will this work??

const { Canvas } = require('canvacord');

// slash command code...

let user = interaction.options.getUser('user');

let circlePfp = await Canvas.circle(user.displayAvatarURL({ format: 'png' }));

let a = new AttachmentBuilder(circlePfp, { name: 'circle.png' });

await interaction.reply({ files: [a] });```


I don't have my pc rn so I'm confused

[quartz kindle]

remove this, or add a process.exit() here

in bot.js

'SIGTERM' and 'SIGINT' have default handlers on non-Windows platforms that reset the terminal mode before exiting with code 128 + signal number. If one of these signals has a listener installed, its default behavior will be removed (Node.js will no longer exit).

The subprocess.kill() method sends a signal to the child process. If no argument is given, the process will be sent the 'SIGTERM' signal.

[viral spade]

youre a genius

thank you so much

[quartz kindle]

should work, try it and see

[sterile brook]

why this filter doesnt work

const filter = (interaction) => interaction.user.id === message.author.id && !interaction.user.bot
const tradeCollector = tradeRequestMsg.createMessageComponentCollector({filter, time: 90000 })

[lyric mountain]

define "doesn't work"

[sterile brook]

other user that is not message author can interact

freely

[lyric mountain]

the second part u can freely remove btw

interaction user will never be a bot

regarding the first part, anyone BUT the author can interact?

if so, did u try logging what each part is returning?

[sterile brook]

everyone can interact

author and any user

that's why i am asking

[lyric mountain]

then the issue can't be in that code u sent

[quartz kindle]

show more code

more specifically, show how you define message

[neon leaf]

how can I disable the update available message for pnpm? This doesnt work
pnpm install --fix-lockfile --registry=https://registry.npmjs.cf --update-notifier=false "${args[@]}"

[sterile brook]

u mean message that have message.author and etc?

[quartz kindle]

yes

[sterile brook]

i am just taking message from messageCreate event
and pass it to command.run() method

nothing more

problem not in message cuz it works in other commands

[quartz kindle]

the thing is

on which message are the buttons you are waiting for?

[sterile brook]

here filter doesnt work

but here for example works fine

[quartz kindle]

hmm strange, i dont see anything wrong

[gilded venture]

Hopefully someone can help me here.
My bot in the last 2 days has randomly gone offline around the same time. It's in around 200 servers. Errors do not show anything crazy, but today I did see a few disnake errors around "Interaction took more than 3 seconds to be responded to.". I assume these happened just before it started to die.

When I try to rerun to start it up it just hangs and shows nothing... yesterday after a few attempts 20mins it starts working again. I have nothing to work with here and its frustrating.

Any ideas?

[sudden geyser]

Try seeing if anything you're using supports debugging (e.g. an env var DEBUG=true or logging levels)

[deft wolf]

Have you tried deferring interactions?

Depending on what your code is doing it can take more than 3 seconds to respond and deferring the interaction allows you to edit the response later

[quartz kindle]

do you have any cron jobs or scheduled tasks that run on a specific time every day?

[gilded venture]

No cron jobs, just another docker container that automatically backs up the volume to s3 around midnight. That's been running for months fine.

[gilded venture]

will look but not sure

[gilded venture]

could look at doing this

[quartz kindle]

does the issue also happen around midnight?

[gilded venture]

no, happened yesterday and today around 10pm

which could just be a popular time

[quartz kindle]

When I try to rerun to start it up it just hangs and shows nothing... yesterday after a few attempts 20mins it starts working again.

this gives me the impression that either your network had issues or discord had an outage

where is your bot hosted?

[gilded venture]

aws us-east-1

i looked on discord status that was my first thought but no outage

[quartz kindle]

could be an issue with aws

[gilded venture]

i do currently have no internet and tethering off my mobile but im not sure how that could interferee with anything, im ssh to my instance and trying from there

[quartz kindle]

do you have any info about cpu/memory usage on the machine?

[gilded venture]

yea its been the usual, just 1-2% lmao

i have 2 bots on 1 instance, the other is compltely fine and has the same code

only difference between the main one actually is that i have the top.gg api posting bot stats so i can see how many servers my bot is in

i added that in 4-5 days ago... thats the only difference between the too, apart from one being in 200 servers, and the only only in 2

[quartz kindle]

do you have the presences intent?

[gilded venture]

i dont actually, only server and message

wasnt approved for presense

dont think i needed it

[quartz kindle]

hmm, im mostly guessing here, but i can only think of aws network issues

[gilded venture]

do i need the presence intent for the top.gg api stats thing?

[quartz kindle]

no

i just asked because the presences intent causes a huge influx of data from discord

its almost like discord is ddosing you, thats how horrible presences are

[gilded venture]

would make sense, and i actually would be happy if both bots went down it would make sense

[quartz kindle]

what about memory usage?

[gilded venture]

cant check my grafana dashboard cuz ive had no internet last 2 days

would be on there

fml

MemTotal:        1984212 kB
MemFree:          301820 kB
MemAvailable:    1135176 kB

[rustic nova]

Lol

[gilded venture]

i forget the difference between Free and Available

[gilded venture]

is that bad?

[lyric mountain]

wh...what does your bot do?

[gilded venture]

im running a few things on there tbh

[lyric mountain]

ah ok, so that aint you bot's mem usage

[gilded venture]

no thats the whole server

running promethus + grafana dashboard

[quartz kindle]

it depends on what the actual metric is, those terms are a bit vague

[gilded venture]

this was in /proc/meminfo on my ubuntu server

[quartz kindle]

MemTotal: total usable RAM
MemFree: free RAM, the memory which is not used for anything at all
MemAvailable: available RAM, the amount of memory available for allocation to any process

anyway those look like normal values, nothing wrong there

for your issue it would be more helpful to get the memory used by the bot process

what does your bot run on?

[gilded venture]

disnake

if thats what you mean

python

and running in a docker container

[quartz kindle]

are both bots in the same container or in separate containers?

[gilded venture]

separate

using my phones 4g is messing with something - i just shut down my test bot thats on an entirely different server in another region, tried to spin it back up and nothing...

same with the clone bot on the main server

[quartz kindle]

hmm

[gilded venture]

Frustrating

No idea what’s causing it and no real internet connection to fix

[lyric mountain]

Crashes often appear on the log, no way ur getting nothing on it

[topaz terrace]

how do read a specific txt file and then find a string in that file and then remove the completely?

[lyric mountain]

Load the file into a string, replace the word and overwrite the file

[topaz terrace]

how do i overwrite the file?

[lyric mountain]

Just save it

[topaz terrace]

well i have tried this js let allWords = fs.readFileSync("./wordleWords.txt", "utf8"); let words = allWords.split("\r\n") const solution = words[Math.floor(Math.random() * words.length)]; //console.log(allWords) allWords.replace(solution, "") it didn't work.

[lyric mountain]

Because ur not saving the file

Ur just replacing the word

[topaz terrace]

oh, how do i save it?

do i just liek await allWords.save();

[lyric mountain]

Also, replace doesn't mutate the string

Strings are immutable

[topaz terrace]

oh ok

[lyric mountain]

Of course not

[topaz terrace]

oh

[topaz terrace]

how do i remove the completely?

[lyric mountain]

Save the output of replace

[topaz terrace]

this is what it look like in the txt file.

[lyric mountain]

Idk how ur planning to use that dictionary, but you'll need some way to cache or index it

[topaz terrace]

hmm, how do i cache it

[lyric mountain]

That's a question for another day

[topaz terrace]

i don't understand what you are talking about.

[lyric mountain]

let string = string.replace(...)

[topaz terrace]

oh ok

how to save it?

[lyric mountain]

Just google it, should pop as tge first result

[topaz terrace]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2496710/writing-to-files-in-node-js

[lyric mountain]

Yep

[topaz terrace]

so i would just to fs.writeFileSync("path/to/file", newString)?

[lyric mountain]

Yep

[topaz terrace]

oh

[lyric mountain]

Just remember that'll overwrite the file content

[topaz terrace]

what do u mean overwrite? it will replace everything with the new thing?

[lyric mountain]

Yes

[topaz terrace]

how would i only replace a certain word

and not the entire thing

[lyric mountain]

Just replace the entire thing

By "entire thing" I mean you'll overwrite the previous content with the new content

The new content being the string minus the word u removed

[topaz terrace]

oh

i still dont get it

what

[lyric mountain]

let text = readfile

Lorem ipsum sit amet dolor

text = text.replace("sit", "")

Lorem ipsum amet dolor

writefile

[topaz terrace]

oh

[wheat mesa]

Does anyone know how to get a c++ project to compile to a standalone exe file in CLion? Can't seem to get it to work

[lyric mountain]

The hardest part is actually making c++ compile
