development

[rustic nova]

yeah

[quartz kindle]

if it does, then thats how you do it

[rustic nova]

webhooks are the most reliable and most efficient way on doing it

using the check endpoint: will end up you getting ratelimited at some point
using the votes endpoint: up to 1000 votes

oh nvm was referring to servers only

yeah only way is webhooks

[quartz kindle]

nah man send votes by letter

:^)

[rustic nova]

yes

Hi im getting reports that my bot is disappearing from servers where it is installed. It never shows up in the integrations list and then the slash commands stop working after a few days. These servers do not have over 50 bots installed so I dont think its because of too many bots.

Does anyone know what can cause this? i have no idea where to look

[lyric mountain]

What abt ur log?

Anything there?

[lavish dirge]

where can i see this log?

[lyric mountain]

Where are u hosting the bot?

[lavish dirge]

its stateless. its just an interactions API hook

so i have a rest API for interactions

thats it

[lyric mountain]

Yes, but it still need to be hosted somewhere

[lavish dirge]

oh yeah i have some servers. theres no errors in the logs

nothing like that

[lyric mountain]

Did u request the affected owners to check the audit logs?

If it got removed it has to be listed there

[lavish dirge]

oh right

[lyric mountain]

Else it's a discord issue

[lavish dirge]

ok thankyou! i will ask for the audit logs

[lyric mountain]

Yw

[burnt blade]

@dusky idol here’s your solution. Thanks Timmy

[surreal sage]

    /**
     * @param {string} cookie
     * @returns {object} session
     */
    getSessionInfo: function (cookie) {
        console.log(sessions);
        let filtered = sessions.filter((session) => session?.cookie === cookie);
        if (filtered.length > 0) {
            if (filtered[0]?.cookie) delete filtered[0]?.cookie;
            return filtered[0];
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    },```
Getting something smelly

The issue is at if (filtered[0]?.cookie) delete filtered[0]?.cookie;

The issue is:

The cookie gets deleted from the sessions array as well

I make a new array that is filtered from sessions
I check if the cookie property exists, if that's the case; delete it

But it deletes it from the sessions as well

Even if I did it like this

    /**
     * @param {string} cookie
     * @returns {object} session
     */
    getSessionInfo: function (cookie) {
        let session = sessions.find((session) => session?.cookie === cookie);
        console.log(sessions);
        if (session) {
            if (session?.cookie) delete session.cookie;
            return session;
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    },```

My goal:
Remove the specific property called 'cookie' before returning it

Fixed it by adding session = { ...session }; after if (session) {

Hi @lyric mountain I got the audit logs. I can see that the log <user> added an integration for <my-bot> but I never see the second log <user> added <my-bot> to the server which I see on successful installations for other bots

[lyric mountain]

you said ur bot works purely through interactions right?

[lavish dirge]

yes

[lyric mountain]

interaction-only bots are never added to servers

[lavish dirge]

oh ok

[lyric mountain]

there's a separation between the terms "interaction" and "bot", they aren't mutually inclusive

[lavish dirge]

got it

so if this log is showing but the interaction doesnt show up in the list of integrations then its a problem on the discord side?

[lyric mountain]

does it have 50 interactions already?

interactions, not bots

[lavish dirge]

maybe? you mean - its installed on 50 servers?

or the server has 50 interactions installed?

im pretty sure the server has less than 50 interactions

actually my bot does have send message permission

so i think it should add the bot user

even though I dont use the permissions currently

[lyric mountain]

an interaction-only application never has any permission

since there's no member to be given perms to

[lyric mountain]

but yes, I mean this

there's a hard limit of 50 interactions, after that you cant add any more

[lavish dirge]

i dont think its the 50 interaction limit. Even after I revoke the bot scope and leave only applications.commands the installation link still adds a the user

i have application.commands

does that mean its a bot

[lyric mountain]

no, it means it uses interactions

not all bots use interactions, not all interactions are bots

the only thing they share in common is that both require some code processing events somewhere

[lavish dirge]

i understand

so if my integration is interaction only then why does it still add the user when i install via the link

[lyric mountain]

because the invite url still has bot scope in it

else it'd not add an user

[lavish dirge]

i had to update the default authorization link, even though i was using a link without the bot scope, it didnt stop installing a user until after i did that

sorry - i know a lot of these are dumb questions but youre really helping me

[lyric mountain]

don't worry, happy to help

[lament rock]

recently had a 9 hour downtime with no customer support from Contabo. Just switched to Galaxy Gate

reinstalling Postgres and RabbitMQ was a nightmare

[lyric mountain]

what region?

never had such long downtime

[lament rock]

us west

[solemn latch]

welcome to the club

[lament rock]

other VMs I had in the same datacenter were still accessible, but the main VM with the database had 2 major outages since the start of 2023

[solemn latch]

👀 all of galaxygate had three incidents since late 2021, one was a part failure and another was a disk space issue so it only affected one node.

crazy their reliability.

[lament rock]

im so hype to not have to worry about downtime and I hope the customer support is competent

I took the liberty of writing my own blog post about my contabo experience. Was just :(

their vms were so good for so cheap

[rustic nova]

always a bad idea to have one provider for everything, so called vendor lock-in

[solemn latch]

thats true 👀

[rustic nova]

always have your app, database etc for each on different providers

even though I dont because I'm crazy and dont run important apps

also, if your budget does match it

have 2 different hosts that just have mirrored databases

[lament rock]

$$$

Im not made of cash atm

[rustic nova]

same lmao

[lament rock]

$20 for an 8GB node from GG is already steep for me

[solemn latch]

redundancy gets so expensive quick 👀

[lament rock]

My db only takes 9MB

thats with schema and entries

[solemn latch]

I was working on making something high availability(two of everything all the way down) and it was more than double the cost

[wheat mesa]

Oracle has had 0 downtime in the last year I’ve used it 😎

[solemn latch]

I had oracle downtime yesterday

👀

lmao

[lament rock]

[solemn latch]

I got like 4 emails about it

[wheat mesa]

Only problem is they may give you permanent downtime for no reason according to some other people that have had experience with it

[lament rock]

I was just gonna get me a pi

[wheat mesa]

Might’ve just been for your data center, I haven’t gotten any emails from oracle

[lament rock]

my wifi has unmetered data anyways

I have my own server pc, but no rack and shit sounds like airplane

2 xeons

[rustic nova]

I used to actively have 2-3 backup servers when I used to run critical, important apps

was cool stuff to setup ngl

[wheat mesa]

I’ve got a server pc with 2 xeons as well, only problem is that it’s from the early 2000s and still runs windows vista

[lament rock]

install linux

windows vms suck

[wheat mesa]

It’s not worth actually setting up

[rustic nova]

got my old laptop that is entirely airgapped through a firewall and only allows connections from my vpn or local network

pog

[wheat mesa]

I’ve got no use for it and the specs are actually kinda horrendous for today’s standards

It has like 8x less ram than my rpi 3

[lament rock]

I made my bot all microservice oriented and that shit is so easy to scale

rabbitmq is literally sv_cheats 1

[rustic nova]

You don't believe how much cool crazy microservice shit I'd do if I had the budget

like, a bunch of stuff with rpis or other microcontrollers, deploying them with ansible, rabbitmq too yes

[lament rock]

I'm gonna be working on audio processing shit sooner rather than later

but no money to hire

[quartz kindle]

managed to further improve it lmao

[lament rock]

is that for tiny discord

[quartz kindle]

yes and no, its gonna be a separate lib, but the improvements will be merged into tiny discord

thats the performance for the packer tho, which tiny discord almost doesnt use

discord needs a beefy unpacker, not a packer

[rustic nova]

Tim just make tinyjs already

[quartz kindle]

im still gonna work on the unpacker later

[rustic nova]

js you could even deploy on an ESP32 if you really wanted to

[quartz kindle]

lmao

i still didnt finish by serializer

i have a big issue with finishing things @_@

sort first, map later

actually, first sort, then slice, then map

[solemn latch]

Looks like you might be using sort wrong

[earnest phoenix]

Replace a < b with b - a

[solemn latch]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/web/javascript/reference/global_objects/array/sort#sorting_array_of_objects
Might be helpful

[solemn latch]

also, they are objects so looking for the property comparison

[earnest phoenix]

Ah yeah, access the points property and then subtract

[lament rock]

I actually wanted to setup gh actions for fake testing gateway

[quartz kindle]

cool

it will probably serve you well then

[quartz kindle]

no idea

[rustic nova]

ez

just create a dockerfile, maybe docker-compose

done

you can either use the docker desktop on windows

or docker run IMAGE_NAME

[jaunty basalt]

Hey can anyone plz tell me how to make a schema in such a way so that I can show a user's warnings in this way-

await interaction.reply({ content: `${user.tag} has ${data.warnings}.` });```

[jaunty basalt]

Visual Studio code

Bruh
Visual Studio code.
Search on Google, it's very common between developers

[wheat mesa]

This

You cannot use this on android

mobile code editors in general usually suck

because you haven't made a bot that is verified on top.gg

[sharp geyser]

we know

you put index that you need?

Arrays are 0 based indexes so first entry in an array is 0 second is 1, third is 2 and so on

[somber ridge]

Heyya @quartz kindle I’ve been trying to implement discord ratelimits from scratch but the docs are documented in a way where I’m having trouble trying to wrap my head around it
Do you mind if I ask more questions regarding this to you? Would really appreciate it!

[quartz kindle]

sure

[surreal sage]

I'm trying to cover an image with a gradient

But it isn't working quite well

I have a container div

Where in an img and a div

The div has a gradient

And then the image is common sense

I want them to stack on top of each other, which hasn't worked out yet.

[crystal wigeon]

hey, anyone using flask? python

[winged linden]

hi i have a question

related to mongodb

how tf can i pull an index in an array

const result = await Account.updateOne(
{ server_id: serverid },
{ $pull: { roles: { $eq: [role_index] } } }
);

it removes some and some it doesnt any idea why?

basically i wanna remove a specific index for example index 1

[dusky idol]

well I'm pretty new to bot development and mongodb myself but I can try to assist

I don't really use $pull tho

[winged linden]

bruh it works for index 0 but not other indexes

all good brother!

tryin to figure it out with chatgpt now

[dusky idol]

yeh that might help

[dusky idol]

so, the roles is an array & there are arrays inside an array?

[winged linden]

yeah 2d array, not the point though i wanna remove a full index at roles

[winged linden]

remove index 0 or index 1 or index 2 for example

[dusky idol]

i see

you can use $set maybe

[winged linden]

i wanna remove it though, set doesnt pull out data

sometimes chatgpt is stupid lol, done it like that and it didnt work

[dusky idol]

database = await Account.find_one("server_id": serverid)

roles = database["roles"]
roles.pop(index) #put the index which you want to remove

Account.update_one({"server_id": serverid}, {"$set": {"roles": roles})```

[solemn latch]

chatgpt is wrong a lot

[winged linden]

this could actually work, genius

1 sec

but i got a problem lol

    if (acc.admins.includes(req.user.id)) {
      console.log("Got Inside acc.admins.includes(req.user.id)");
      const role = acc.roles[role_index];
      if (role[0] == roleid) {
        console.log("Got Inside role[0] == roleid");
        const result = await Account.updateOne(
          { server_id: serverid },
          { $pull: { roles: role_index } }
        );
        console.log("Role removed successfully");
        console.log(result);
        res.redirect("/guilds/" + serverid);
      } else {
        res.redirect("/access");
      }
    } else {
      res.redirect("/access");
    }

i wanna check if its a valid id in the database first

[dusky idol]

oh

[winged linden]

its reaching Role Removed Successfully lol

it did find a match

{
acknowledged: true,
modifiedCount: 0,
upsertedId: null,
upsertedCount: 0,
matchedCount: 1
}

but didnt modify any

[dusky idol]

well I can't really understand it

[winged linden]

pretty sure

              { server_id: serverid },
              { $pull: { roles: role_index } }
            );```

smth is wrong in here idk what though lol

[dusky idol]

oh well what basically is the program

[winged linden]

complicated lol, if i wanna explain we wont end

finally made it work

[dusky idol]

ay that's good

[somber ridge]

Let’s say I have 3 requests
GET /guilds/1234/channels
GET /guilds/4567/channels
GET /guilds/80882/channels

These routes all stay in the same bucket, let’s say abcd

These routes calculate ratelimits independently (when I make 2 requests to the first route, 8 remain while the other two still show that 9 requests remain)

Im really confused on whether to map every endpoint including the top level resources (guild/channel id) to its ratelimit info
OR
map the literal string /guilds/:id/channels to a single bucket like how the libs do it

I’m confused on how to go ahead from there with both approaches

[quartz kindle]

honestly i havent done much regarding rate limits yet, but i would probably go for the way most others do it

however i also want to investigate how the bucket header actually works at some point and see if i can use it

instead of hardcoding all rules

[winged linden]

anyone good in html and can help me with something really quick?

[quartz kindle]

post your question and see

[winged linden]

basically i wanna have the "Role" and "Needed Amount" names merged with the borders

but aint sure how i can do it lol

[lyric mountain]

just wrap it all in a div

actually

just put the label as a child of the field, then set top to a negative value

then u can set the label background to be the same color as the parent's background color

this will create a "hole" around the label

[oblique sky]

With css, simply use flex and align-items: start can easily fix the issue

[lyric mountain]

wont work

[oblique sky]

Why? It works for me
flex + flex-direction: column
margin-bottom can be a negative number

[lyric mountain]

because they want it merged, not aligned

basically this

easiest way is negative top, with the label being child of the field

[oblique sky]

Yeah, why don’t use flex for the container of inputs?

[lyric mountain]

cuz it'll break if u have more inputs in the same div

[oblique sky]

Oh ok

[lyric mountain]

a children label will guarantee it follows the field around too

[winged linden]

yeah exactly like that!!

[winged linden]

i am bad in html & css could you help me?

            <h3>Add a Role</h3>
            <form>
              <label for="role">Role:</label>
              <select id="role" name="role" required>
                <option value="" disabled selected>Select an option</option>
                <option value="option1">Option 1</option>
                <option value="option2">Option 2</option>
                <option value="option3">Option 3</option>
              </select><br>
              <label for="amount">Needed Amount:</label>
              <input type="number" id="amount" name="amount" min="1" max="100" required><br>
              <input type="submit" value="Submit">
              <input type="button" value="Cancel" onclick="document.getElementById('popup').style.display='none'">
            </form>
          </div>```

what could i do?

[lyric mountain]

put the label inside the input

set negative top

set background color to match the parent

[oblique sky]

Basically using css (I use React)

[winged linden]

can u help me lol idfk how

[lyric mountain]

...

how u don't know how to put something inside another thing?

[winged linden]

sorry lmao, dont know much about html i just know the basics

[lyric mountain]

<...>
  inside
</...>

[winged linden]

bro i can place it inside but what then

[lyric mountain]

^

if ur beginning in html, don't try to make something more complex

[winged linden]

true but i wanna make it nice if you know what i mean

[lyric mountain]

yes I know, and you shouldn't

don't put the horse in front of the wagon

go slow, improve your skills along the way

[winged linden]

true true

[craggy pine]

Lot of people tend to start developing with a high goal by creating something over the top which is beyond their skill. Start slow, take some HTML / CSS courses which for the most part are free and start with basic projects to get an understanding of how html / css works. 🙂

[lyric mountain]

yes, there are lots of html courses around the net

actually I think it's the subject with the most courses among all

[winged linden]

do u suggest any? i already know the basics so i wanna learn more now

[winged linden]

yeah probably

[lyric mountain]

well, if it's regarding web pages w3schools/mozilla are good places to search for

don't watch videos, videos never update together with the languages

[winged linden]

got it 🤝 thanks alot

[winged linden]

yeah i never do

[lyric mountain]

to test what u learn, simply open a new blank page and press f12

u can test html/css/js directly on the browser

[winged linden]

yeah ik that, thanks though 🐐

for discord dashboard should i just stick with the path of using ejs or should i convert to react later on the long run?

[oblique sky]

react is pretty useful, I usually recommend using it with Next.us for the best performance

Their eco-system is the most powerful along all the alternates

[lyric mountain]

honestly, as someone who used react a lot, I'm starting to ponder whether react is really that better than pure html

like, the only advantage are the libs

[oblique sky]

React helps you to maintain the project and reusing components
But you might spend some time for understanding how to improve the performance such as reducing re-render

[lyric mountain]

cant u make custom html components?

[sudden geyser]

you can do all of that without react

react is really about reacting to change in state

[oblique sky]

Of course, that is why it “helps”, not the only one way

[lyric mountain]

hm, state, forgot abt that

[sudden geyser]

though personally I don't think react handles state well since it couples it to the ui

but the idea/model is certainly good

[oblique sky]

Yeah, vue is much better at this part

[pine nova]

[lament rock]

delete frameworks

[winged linden]

true but its easier to refresh data and make it "live" if you know what i mean

in ejs we can use ajax but it isnt as efficient as react

[oblique sky]

the developer experience of web dev is really incredible nowadays

[quartz kindle]

really annoying too

the amount of tooling there is makes me stay away from frontend

[winged linden]

same but u get to a point you wanna do frontend too

[quartz kindle]

cant do anything these days without having a shit ton of frameworks, packers, bundlers, mappers, converters, minifiers, etc...

[winged linden]

feels weird knowing tooo much backend and little frontend

[quartz kindle]

well i've done enough frontend

i hate having to setup all those tools

so if i have to, i'll just write raw html+css+js instead

[rustic nova]

at least you take the effort to try

I dont

I hate frontend

Like I'd wanna do some extremely cool dashboard shit if I would know how to do frontend like @civic scroll does

[civic scroll]

a stinky has summoned me

[civic scroll]

i'd say depending on your needs

there's a difference between "i want a functional and usable ui fast" and "i want an absolute unit hand-crafted experience"

[rustic nova]

Like

its not the thing that I cant

its literally the layout shit I give up on

[civic scroll]

well layout is annoying

i get it

just render on canvas

[rustic nova]

done bootstrap, am capable of like, expanding an already existing layout

but

yes lmao

[winged linden]

Well i am building a dashboard related to nfts so having fast and reliable ui is better for me

[civic scroll]

i'd argue there are uniquely and equally hard challenges on both sides

[winged linden]

Same lol, but come and building my own would take me ages

[sudden geyser]

Well i am building a dashboard related to nfts
opinion discarded

[civic scroll]

there are premade ui component libraries out there
knowing a bit of composition does the trick

[winged linden]

Thats my needs

[rustic nova]

https://roadmap.sh/frontend if anyone's interested in actually starting to learn frontend, just found this recently, definitely not ads

[civic scroll]

that's why we have design and planning phase

stinky ads 111!!!1@!1

apparently an android-based OS for old phones

[lyric mountain]

and obviously, of course safari doesn't support it

[quartz kindle]

neither does firefox

[lyric mountain]

never met anyone who uses firefox on mobile

oh, regular firefox doesn't too

[quartz kindle]

i use firefox focus

on my phone

[lyric mountain]

what's TP?

toilet paper?

[quartz kindle]

no idea

lmao

safari toilet paper

next big thing trust me

[sudden geyser]

technology preview

i.e. canary / beta for safari

[lyric mountain]

ah

[hallow shell]

Can I remove my bot from top.gg?

[rustic nova]

sure, use the delete button on your bot page

[hallow shell]

Can't find it, only see preview and save

Ah, looks like I have to leave edit mode and go to the info panel for some reason

Hmm

Is it possible to just make it not "live" instead of completely deleting it?

[rustic nova]

Nope

[eternal osprey]

hey in js, i created a set and added an element to it using set.add()

is there any way to store like an array into the set?

I ultimately want to store: user : number combo

[lyric mountain]

then...not use a set

[solemn latch]

this sounds like something youd want a map for

[lyric mountain]

oh wait, what u want is ```
[
[a, 123],
[a, 123],
[a, 123],
[a, 123]
]

[eternal osprey]

yessirr

[lyric mountain]

yes, u can, but as woo said, better to use a map

[eternal osprey]

i see, maps are in java as well if i recall correctly?

[lyric mountain]

java or js?

[eternal osprey]

I once saw a package for it but i might be mistaken

no just out of curiosity

java

[lyric mountain]

java has all collection types built-in

[eternal osprey]

i kinda get why the names of java and javascript are similar, they share lots of functions

[lyric mountain]

that's mostly inherited from C actually

[eternal osprey]

This would be set.add([.., ..]) i suppose?

[eternal osprey]

aint no way really?

[lyric mountain]

js is only called "java"script because it used to be a layer between browsers and applets

[lyric mountain]

yes, all languages with similar syntax inherited that from C

[quartz kindle]

you can add anything to sets, so yes an array can be added to a set

[lyric mountain]

while langs like rust, python, lua, pascal, etc didn't

[eternal osprey]

Yeah i see. Quite strange as i thought c++ was closer to c instead of java/javascript. And c misses lots of inbuilt functions like replace, replaceall, split etc

or my teachers just fucked me really hard into not allowing to use them, also a possibility.

[lyric mountain]

c++ is as close to C as is java, but c++ stood in the "minimal" side of the wagon

that's why it feels so barebones

[eternal osprey]

i see, so c++ would be easier to compile and assemble right than java/js right?

As it has less 'human code' to convert

[lyric mountain]

well, java doesn't compile to assembly

[eternal osprey]

owh

[lyric mountain]

java was made to be highly maintainable even in huge enterprise projects, while c++ kept performance as its main priority

[eternal osprey]

ahh i see!

Also, just out of curiosity... c++ is usually used for security right? But why is that? I mean, c++ is the main language for buffer overflows etc

[lyric mountain]

js was made to be used in browsers

which is also why it's so lenient regarding datatypes

[eternal osprey]

while other languages have built in catches, c++ doesn't and yet it still is highly used in security programs

[lyric mountain]

no, c++ is usually used for games and microcontrollers

[eternal osprey]

ah i see, indeed! I am really looking forward to the networks lectures! Will be fun.

[lyric mountain]

tho C is even more used for the latter

[eternal osprey]

Owh i thought that c++ actually was used for security. I read it somewhere.

[lyric mountain]

it can be, all languages can

c++ gives freedom, if u want to shoot yourself in the foot it wont prevent u

[quartz kindle]

security stuff uses low level languages for performance and integration into other low level systems mostly

nobody wants an operating system calling a nodejs process to calculate some security keys lol

[eternal osprey]

aha i see, this shit is quite interesting aint gonna lie

[lyric mountain]

also usually such code is done with minimal processing, so it doesn't need to be very maintainable

[eternal osprey]

the more i fuck around the more i get to enjoy this

[quartz kindle]

fuck around and find out

:^)

[eternal osprey]

yessir definitely

thanks for all the help tim, kuu, and woo. Can't appreciate it more for all the things yall are doing 🙂

[wheat mesa]

Technically it does 🤓

JIT compilation

Most compilers use JIT nowadays

[lyric mountain]

that's just JVM blackmagicfuckery

[eternal osprey]

in djs v13, don't we have a property to check whether a user can get banned, muted and kicked?

it was member.kickable, member.bannable, and....? I forgot the one for timeouts/mutes.

[wheat mesa]

Look at the docs perhaps

[eternal osprey]

honestly i have tried to find it but couldn't

[wheat mesa]

I believe there’s some sort of function that does that but I could be wrong

I know it was a thing in detritus but not 100% sure about djs

[wheat mesa]

Mutability in this message is not what you think it is

[quartz kindle]

mutability here refers to the data being mutable, like you being able to edit message.content and then send(message)

[hushed robin]

yes .bannable, .kickable, .moderatable

[quartz kindle]

timeout should be included in moderatable

same thing for voice mutes

[neon leaf]

does anyone have an Idea how to design this? id like to make everything a modal

[rustic nova]

use bootstrap modals

[neon leaf]

I already have modal components, idk how to arrange the page

i cant make stuff look good

I got this concept but its horrible

[wheat mesa]

Also keep in mind that you want to be looking at the properties/methods for the type that you want, not the search feature

[eternal osprey]

Yeah i got it working

[eternal osprey]

Owh i see

yeah i am pretty stupid with these docs

Is there any way to work around this

Why the fuck is there a max on it.. doesn't make sense??

[lyric mountain]

it's a pretty big amount tho

[eternal osprey]

5 isn't much right..

[deft wolf]

Depends on what your bot does

[rustic nova]

theres only 5 slash commands in total?

or whats that

[eternal osprey]

application commands

[wheat mesa]

I don’t think that’s what that number means

[rustic nova]

how tf is it only on 5

[wheat mesa]

Cus max command amount is much higher than that

[rustic nova]

yeah doubt thats slash commands

[eternal osprey]

tf is my console saying then

[rustic nova]

how many slash commands do you have

[deft wolf]

These are context menus, I believe

[lyric mountain]

^

[eternal osprey]

    data: new ContextMenuCommandBuilder()
    .setName('ban')
    .setType(ApplicationCommandType.User),```this is the type

i got: 6 in total

[lyric mountain]

yep, context menu

[eternal osprey]

Strange that the max is capped at so low

I will just remove one app i guess..

[lyric mountain]

why are u even making a ban context menu command?

[eternal osprey]

it;s fun

clickin on a person and banning them trhough there

convenient

[lyric mountain]

there's already a ban button

[eternal osprey]

owh damn

i didn't know

[lyric mountain]

...

[deft wolf]

True

Also, if I'm not mistaken, it would be impossible to add any arguments to such a command without using buttons or waiting for a message from the user so slash command seems like a better choice for this kind of command

[lyric mountain]

u can get the author of the message u clicked

and I think it also appears if u right click on an user

[deft wolf]

Yes, but I mean some kind of temporary bans or reasons/cases

[hushed robin]

well

you could use a modal i think

[lyric mountain]

which is already what ban button does anyway

[quartz kindle]

anyone here knows erlang? how the heck do lists work lol

does the list tail count in the list length?

[solemn latch]

tim asking a question? what is this?

[lament rock]

erlang is just way too confusing tbh

[quartz kindle]

indeed

tbh im just asking for the etf encoder, i have the gist of it but some things are unclear

lists can be either proper or unproper, they can include a tail, or not include a tail, the tail is normally an empty list [] but can be any value as well

[lament rock]

a list with a list?

[quartz kindle]

so when encoding it, idk if i should add a tail at the end or not, and if the added tail should count towards the list length or not lmao

[lament rock]

ordered myself an SBC so that I can host my own stuff. Has a pcie slot, so I might abuse my 1050ti collecting dust

[eternal osprey]

when providing choices for a user

instead of getting the actual value can we also try to get the name?

[deft wolf]

There should be such an option

[eternal osprey]

i have read the docs

i don't think that you can actually get the name

[earnest phoenix]

The Discord API doesn't provide the name of the choice the user selected, only the value

[quartz kindle]

the choices api is a piece of shit

not only do they not provide it, but they type it for the user

which is misleading

when the user choses it, it autocompletes the query with the name, but what is actually sent is the value

if the user presses backspace, the name gets edited, which causes the value to be lost

if the user re-types the character they just backspaced, the value will not come back, making the query invalid

[lament rock]

having only 25 options is also dumb

I have to make multiple commands for radio stations

[quartz kindle]

or use autocomplete

which has the same issues

[lament rock]

im good

autocomplete with amqp would be a challenge

[eternal osprey]

Yup i got it!
Also what's the max size?

Right now i have 14 choices... and it's telling me it's exceeded it's size

[earnest phoenix]

The max is 25 choices

[oblique sky]

What is the length of their names or values?

14 choices won’t reach the maximum amount, Is it the problem of value length?

Limits are per choice

[earnest phoenix]

how do you make something happen after a specific amount of time happens with a bot

for example with giveawaybot someone specifies an amount of time and after that time they announce the winner

how do you do the timer thing

[wheat mesa]

setTimeout and/or a database

[solemn latch]

giveaway bot would use a database.

timeouts wouldnt persist between bot restarts, which is a major issue

[earnest phoenix]

i created a poll bot

4 customization options

[lyric mountain]

U definitely need a database

[earnest phoenix]

oof

i hope the 4 customization options + the about command meets the requirements

[lyric mountain]

Requirements for what?

[earnest phoenix]

#mod-logs message example

[lyric mountain]

Ah

Well, I think it's enough, but add a few more just in case

[earnest phoenix]

I keep getting "invalid string format" here: option.setName('iconurl')

[hushed robin]

what's the best way to run something every 5th minute?

[frosty gale]

1000 * 60 * 5

[hushed robin]

what is this suppose to mean

[sharp geyser]

Cron job

[hushed robin]

what module?

[sharp geyser]

google cron job for whatever language you use

[hushed robin]

well

[sharp geyser]

you could also use setInterval which will run every x amount of time you set

but it depends on your use case

[hushed robin]

I've tried two but

[sharp geyser]

You use js right?

[hushed robin]

yes

[sharp geyser]

then ye setInterval could also work

[hushed robin]

could

[sharp geyser]

cron jobs are just a way of doing the scheduling on a separate process (might be other benefits but I hardly used them to know)

One other thing about cron jobs, they allow you to use the full spectrum of time, e.g hours, minutes, seconds, days, months, years

[hushed robin]

well i tried node cron and node schedule but they both break for some reason

[sharp geyser]

You are likely using it wrong

[hushed robin]

how

[sharp geyser]

Idk

What are you doing

I am not a mind reader

[hushed robin]

with node cron after a day or two it starts offsetting

and with node schedule after a day or two it started running the job twice (and possibly offsetting i forget)

it works fine at first though

[sharp geyser]

Interesting

I dont see why that would be happening

Maybe something around it could be affecting it

If you run the cron job more than once it will end up happening more than once as well

[hushed robin]

it's not that

it only schedules when my client is ready

will try setInterval but i'd prefer for it to happen at every 5th minute

[sharp geyser]

this could lead to an issue in itself

[hushed robin]

how so

[sharp geyser]

Its not guaranteed that ready will fie only once.

Unless you have code interfering with the cron job itself, I dont see how it is running twice, that or your updateTrackers() is doing it

As for the offset I am not really sure why that would happen, In my time of using cron jobs never had it happen without me specifying it to

[misty chasm]

hi

[eternal osprey]

Hey could anyone tell me the benefits of using a dlatch over a sr latch? Because in my understanding they work exactly the same, just the d latch got the data inputs and enabling separated while the sr latch requires direct changes of s and r to either perform the set, reset or hold actions.

I know the d latch can set the e to false or true to either hold or perform an action and that the output is then dependent on the d input, but why is it better instead of an sr latch? Could it be because the data and enabling functions are separated? Accessibility?

Omg wait hold on i might be cookin here

Would it be correct that a d-latch cannot get into the forbidden state? So s= 1, r = 1 (race conditions occurs)

so thats why a d latch should be used over a normal sr latch??!

[rustic nova]

tbf

I'm glad I'm not going to go through the topics in my apprenticeship what you're doing right now

I'd die inside ngl

[eternal osprey]

i am for sure dying ngl

but yeah, i knew computer science at the university would be rather logic than coding so gotta see it through now

[cobalt dew]

my hero

thank you Yui chan

[rustic nova]

unsure if thats correct tho lmao

yw lmao

[eternal osprey]

Do logical gates have a standard delay?

and if so, what's their delay?

[rustic nova]

they dont iirc

[eternal osprey]

how the fuck should i calculate the delay based on a path

literally got nothing but the path (from input a to a nor gate(

[lyric mountain]

resistance perhaps

[eternal osprey]

nope

i just got a logical circuit and he said calculate the progpagtion time

[lyric mountain]

yes, but gates still have some kind of resistance

even if negligible

that said, I still have no idea how ur even supposed to calculate propag time

a thing I remember tho, is that current has a certain speed

[eternal osprey]

for example this

they told us we needed to give the propagation delay

so i thought for example the delay from a to sum is:

| A --- norgate --- norgate --sum |

would that be any correct?

[rustic nova]

Istg too brain stuff for me

[lyric mountain]

Not an electrician too, didn't u learn how to calculate that in ur course?

Teachers don't usually throw questions that were never taught before

[eternal osprey]

istg not

only thing we got about delays

see what the teacher wrote that |-gate-gate-gate|

that's the delay i think

what doyou think?

[lyric mountain]

idk

[eternal osprey]

[tired panther]

Here https://greed-head.com/how-do-you-calculate-propagation-delay-in-logic-circuit/

[earnest phoenix]

Can someone help?

[spark flint]

Not really

You need to provide some context / code

[sudden geyser]

Are you using YouTube DL

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

[hushed robin]

well the jobs running twice only occurred with node-schedule, after switching to node-cron (with no code changes) that issue was resolved but there's still the other issue.

is it necessary to use require('dotenv').config(); in every file we use process.env
?

[lament rock]

you only use it once and then access process.env

[sudden geyser]

You only need the config when you want your env vars to be loaded

So if you load it in your e.g. index.js first, you won't need it elsewhere

[grizzled orbit]

totally noob on html here, how do i make images get aligned with text on a heading for the bot description?

<h2 style="vertical-align:middle; display:inline;">
<img style="vertical-align:middle;" src="link here">
title here
<img style="vertical-align:middle;" src="link here">
</h2>

on my personal testing it works, but on top.gg the images are in a second line no matter what i try, is it something of the page or like that?

[rustic nova]

then the display used by top.gg's description doesnt support whatever vertical-align is used on

[boreal iron]

vertical align is only supported in boxed layouts or table cells anyways

also don't use the image element inside your header, as it being the child element won't do what u wanna do anyways

[boreal iron]

An example of using a table as layout to display what u wanna do:

<div style="display: table;">
    <div style="display: table-cell;"><img src="..." alt="..." /></div>
    <div style="display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle;"><h3>title here</h3></div>
    <div style="display: table-cell;"><img src="..." alt="..." /></div>

[tender gale]

Hey, uhm, is there anyone of you who added a bot created in Discord Bot Studio?
I'm just trying to add bot stats (I mean the code from the documentation) to bot.js but it seems I can't find a solution and I hope someone of you managed to do it so that I can ask for help in solving this situation... I installed autoposter and even sdk, then I tried to replace client (because it is not defined in DBS) with DBS.Bot but nothing has changed on the website and there is no information in the console whether the statistics were sent or not

[deft wolf]

If there is no error in the console then most likely the code didn't even start working

[tender gale]

oh please... im so dumb -.- uhm, so now i added the same code (which i added to bot.js) to Code Block and now it worked I'm sorry for wasting your time reading this
Have a nice day ❤️

my first time using chatgpt ever 😎

[deft wolf]

I don't know how that's supposed to help you with your problem, but if it does, that's cool

[viral badge]

yeah it didn't really help

i just sent a suggestion/question to my router manufacturer instead 💀

[eternal osprey]

i have 2 dates written like: 2/20/2023

how do i calculate the passed days/years/months between the two dates?

[rustic nova]

days: calculate the sum of days on each month, then sum together
months: divide by 30 (unless you want to be really precise, still suggest letting a library handle it)
years: divide by 365

[viral badge]

you can always use js and run new Date('2/20/2023') if you are lazy 😎

[rustic nova]

its not the lazyness tbf

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5wpm-gesOY

and I dont want to get started on different calendars

[viral badge]

💀

[rustic nova]

where the first day of week is sunday

[eternal osprey]

would this work lma

[rustic nova]

and where there's not the 28 days on february

[eternal osprey]

lmao

[rustic nova]

it would

[eternal osprey]

and i would then do date1 - date 2?

to get the difference timestamp in ms?

[viral badge]

.getTime()

[rustic nova]

other way around

but essentially yes

you wanna subtract from the larger number

aka the one more into the future

[blissful coral]

Does anyone know the package that moderation bots use to change 30d to the date 30d later or 30s to 30 seconds later?

[wheat mesa]

wdym?

Like <t:1676919294:R>?

That sort of thing?

[blissful coral]

like if someone does *ban 30d <reason>

And 30d later it will unban

I am saying how do they convert 30d to a date object to find the date to unban them by

I coulda swore I saw a npm package for it so I don't have to do it manually

[wheat mesa]

I'm sure something like moment could do that

[blissful coral]

It was moment, thank you

I forgot the name LMAO

[wheat mesa]

But honestly it probably wouldn't be too hard to write that sort of thing yourself if you really wanted

[blissful coral]

yeah I figured but it would be easier cuz im lazy

[blissful coral]

@wheat mesa any idea the correct method for that

[wheat mesa]

Haven’t used moment in a moment so can’t say

[deft wolf]

I'm sure you'll find something on the internet

[sharp geyser]

who uses moment anymore

its all about dayjs

[spark flint]

its all about Date

[sharp geyser]

What you know about dates bun

[spark flint]

nothing

i am a single pringle

[earnest phoenix]

https://moment.github.io/luxon/

Since Moment itself is no longer maintained, that's what they recommend

[sudden geyser]

when will the js gods release temporal

[earnest phoenix]

And we (TC39) will be moving https://github.com/tc39/proposal-temporal to stage 4 once

IETF standardizes timezone/calendar string serialization formats

See https://github.com/tc39/proposal-temporal/issues/1450

Once that's done there will be no need for additional date & time libraries

[sharp geyser]

dayjs is better than luxon

[tired panther]

@earnest phoenix Can I dm you, have a super complicated project idea and what to know if you have any suggestions for the tools being used in the project...

[earnest phoenix]

Sure go ahead

[dusky idol]

Can someone tell me how do I get my bot verified (for discord)? It’s in 75 servers now, I’m at the developer portal & can’t really locate the verification button

I assume that it’s due to the fact that my bot isn’t in 75 servers if I exclude servers owned by me. Guess we’ve to wait for it to join 2-3 more servers.

[deft wolf]

You should get an email

Also an official message from Discord

[dusky idol]

I see, alright

[hushed robin]

your able to when its in 76 guilds

[dusky idol]

Let’s hope that I wake up into that message xD

[hushed robin]

so if its in 75 you need one more

[deft wolf]

Prepare a photo of your ID card or driving license and download some recording software

[silver jackal]

Hi

[silver jackal]

Why do discord need id card?

Will they do something if bot steals users data or what?

[deft wolf]

Am I from Discord?

[hushed robin]

so you can be held accountable if your bot does something illegal

[wheat mesa]

They need it so you don't abuse data. It's accountability

And to also verify that you're not someone that has previously abused data before

[earnest phoenix]

They need a legible document that can truly identify you, such as an ID, driver's license, passport, etc etc so they can verify it's truly you, and that you can be held accountable if you do something bad

[silver jackal]

hell no im deleting my bot

[hushed robin]

☠️

wwhy

[deft wolf]

Good luck

[earnest phoenix]

And besides, Discord doesn't see any of these documents, Stripe does

[hushed robin]

yeah ^

[wheat mesa]

should only be scared if your bot does something fucked up

just sayin

[hushed robin]

discord will likely only get access to them if your bot does something fucked up which requires legal action

[wheat mesa]

I suppose that's your choice to make

[silver jackal]

like what?

[deft wolf]

Anything against their rules

[silver jackal]

hell no this is too much for me

[deft wolf]

Seriously though, I haven't heard of anyone going to jail for discord bots

Okay, I wanted to look for something on this topic, but I didn't expect it

[dusky idol]

Guess I’ll have to do it tomorrow

[deft wolf]

Good luck, I hope you pass the verification successfully

[hushed robin]

well probably because no bot has done something fucked up enough for jail time

[sudden geyser]

Damn no communist party servers 😔

[hushed robin]

☠️ this is a wild ass question

what is bro doing

[dusky idol]

What sort of ID do I need to provide though? https://prnt.sc/9UfJr5WRQTS7

[deft wolf]

ID card, driving license or passport

[dusky idol]

what's the ID card to be more specific? I certainly can't go with the other two options because of being under 18 xD

[hushed robin]

https://stripe.com/docs/acceptable-verification-documents

[maiden tiger]

what is your bot name?

[dusky idol]

Zoey.

[maiden tiger]

is it available on top.gg?

[dusky idol]

yeh

I might can but again I don’t have one

could work imo

erlang is basically gibberish to me

[quartz kindle]

im testing and benchmarking like 5 different libs

and they all have weird quirks and issues

lmao

one of them encodes doubles in big endian format for some reason, while the elang docs specifically state it should use little endian

the format itself is a mess indeed

omg jesus christ

i tested encoding a uint8array using discords erlpack

and it encodes Uint8Array([1,2,3,4,5]) into an object like this { 1:1, 2:2, 3:3, 4:4, 5:5 }

instead of using the native etf binary data type

[lament rock]

gross

[quartz kindle]

also, out of them all, discord/erlpack is the second slowest one

jesus christ, talk about unoptimized

[lament rock]

jesus

[solemn latch]

More efficient then what I write!

[quartz kindle]

x doubt

:^)

[solemn latch]

Oh man you should see this code I have for a single api endpoint.

Like 150 lines is just database stuff.

Prisma was a mistake

[quartz kindle]

not that bad

[quartz kindle]

nvm

:^)

[solemn latch]

Yeah

[quartz kindle]

this guy's code is 1200 lines long

and he managed to make it almost 5 times slower than other libs

[solemn latch]

It's literally caused the project to be delayed for months.
And I'm too stubborn to just rewrite it.

And I'm too frustrated to finish kek

[solemn latch]

Oof

[quartz kindle]

lmao

the reason is that he creates new buffers everywhere

he basically does stuff like this in his code ```js
const input = [1, 2, "34242", 234.2352];

// his code (sort of)
buffers = []
for(const item of input) {
const buffer = bufferAlloc(encode(item))
buffers.push(buffer)
}
buffers.unshift(bufferAlloc("header"))
return Buffer.concat(buffers)

creating tons of small buffers in js is a really bad idea

Added support for a bunch of http methods and I'm a personal fan fav of 304 :)

The last bot I made sent these whenever it encountered an HTTP error lol

Loved it

Using discord.jsv14 when i attempt to login using my extended client i get an error "InvalidArgumentError: invalid User-Agent header", however when i use discord.js's client constructor to login i dont. this only occurs on v14 and works perfectly on different versions, anyone know why? (The error comes from undici which is used by djsv14)

I’ve not found anything regarding this issue (e.g fixes or people who’s had it before) on either the internet or discord.js server

[lament rock]

either you might want to see if you're overriding something of the super classes up the chain that would interfere with options or if you're setting your own User-Agent somehow since Discord expects a very specific format for the header

[low orbit]

I’ll have a look when I’m home and get back to you

[dusky idol]

Hey there, can someone assist me a little real quick? So, there's a webhook of a website called discadia. Whenever someone votes for my server at their website, their webhook sends a message in one of my text channels which is basically an embed with a mention inside it.
Well, you can ignore the context I provided above & simply help me with getting the id of the mentioned member inside the embed.
https://prnt.sc/MY_K1_xC8O1t

In this case, I want to define an on_message function which reads the description of the embed & takes the ID of mention'd user. (Zeksy in this case) How do I achieve it

[solemn latch]

You'll need the message content intent.

But if you place it in its own channel no one else can send messages and just check if the message is in that channel. Then you can pull the user ID from the description

[dusky idol]

embed = message.embeds[0]
description = embed.description

I assume this would get the content inside the description

[dusky idol]

yeh that's what I'm doing

[deft wolf]

Do you use python?

[solemn latch]

Id use regex personally

To get the id from the string

[deft wolf]

You can also use substring

[dusky idol]

yes

I'm not so sure about extracting the member's id out of embed's description

but let me try printing the description, gimme a second

[rustic nova]

Yeah you'll need to regex the member id out, some libraries would have the luxury of providing you the mentioned users if it is just message content

[low orbit]

nvm i found the issue

[earnest phoenix]

Yo

is it possible

for checking when a role got given to a user
and handle it

with node js

with discord.js?

and handle it

yeah

i have an idea

[deft wolf]

There's probably a guildMemberUpdate event or something

[earnest phoenix]

there's this guildmemberupdate event

Yes

Yes

Yes

[earnest phoenix]

seems like it may return roles

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/class/Client?scrollTo=e-guildMemberUpdate

[earnest phoenix]

lemme check

it returns old user

and new user

i mean member

thanks man

lemme test

[deft wolf]

There you can compare old and new roles, thanks to which you can check which roles have been assigned to the member

[earnest phoenix]

so basically what i wanna do

is mark a specific role

so administrators with this role cannot assign roles with admin to other users

lemme test

Yo

is there a way to read user bios with discord js?

[hushed robin]

no youd need to use oauth

[earnest phoenix]

im sure

other bots like bleed n shit have that and u dont have connect anything

[rustic nova]

Theres not

[deft wolf]

You can read their custom status, what game they're playing and they're online/offline status, but their bio cannot

[rustic nova]

The only profile related data is activity, status, avatar and name

[earnest phoenix]

o

o kok thanks

[hushed robin]

selfbot 😁

[earnest phoenix]

i tried it

worked

[rustic nova]

Daily tos encouraging chat

[hushed robin]

woah

i do not encourage breaking discord tos

just saying

[earnest phoenix]

me neither

i was joking by the way

[deft wolf]

XD

[hushed robin]

i meant they're probably using a selfbot, not to use one yourself 🙏

[earnest phoenix]

ofc ofc

[earnest phoenix]

DONE

[latent rapids]

https://webhook-topgg.com/
Is it fine to use this site?

[hushed robin]

why not

const regex = new RegExp(...)

if (Boolean(data.body.match(regex) === true) {
  ...
}

[wheat mesa]

Tf is this 😭

[sharp geyser]

Yes

[hushed robin]

is it wrong

[sharp geyser]

Supply the most useless thing ever

[solemn latch]

I hope so, i made it ^_^

Ideally you would use your own webhooks, but it will work

[sharp geyser]

you have a question about regex so supply the regex

[hushed robin]

how is it useless

oh

[latent rapids]

Oh, cool.

[wheat mesa]

Just wanna say that your code snippet here tells us literally nothing

[hushed robin]

/pls|hello|example.com/i

[latent rapids]

I don't know how to make my own webhooks so.

[sharp geyser]

Also why are you using Boolean()

just use .test on the regex

[wheat mesa]

And === true

[sharp geyser]

it supplys a bool

[hushed robin]

okay

[wheat mesa]

Are you using /g anywhere

[latent rapids]

How do you make your own webhook?

[hushed robin]

whats wrong with this

[wheat mesa]

I assume you want to match globally

[hushed robin]

wym

[wheat mesa]

Not just the beginning of the string

[hushed robin]

thats the entire thing

[wheat mesa]

Well that that’s probably the problem

[hushed robin]

oh

[wheat mesa]

Use /g at the end

[radiant kraken]

example\.com actually

[wheat mesa]

Global match

[wheat mesa]

This too

[hushed robin]

ok

ty

lemme try it

[wheat mesa]

. is a reserved character in regex

[radiant kraken]

also you forgot a )

also imagine using Boolean()

when truthiness exists

[hushed robin]

yes

[sharp geyser]

go easy on them null

[hushed robin]

im going to change it

[radiant kraken]

no

[hushed robin]

why

[radiant kraken]

:)

[wheat mesa]

Me when you could just use string.contains instead of jumping straight to regex

[sharp geyser]

Isn't regex slower as well?

[radiant kraken]

yes

[wheat mesa]

Regex is slow as hell

[radiant kraken]

my package got extremely fast after switching from regex to rust binary search

[wheat mesa]

Caching it is a little faster (I believe v8 does that for you behind the scenes) but it’s still pretty slow

[radiant kraken]

using regex for that is pretty overkill tbh

[sharp geyser]

I haven't programmed anything in months

I feel rusty

[radiant kraken]

good

become a rustacean

[wheat mesa]

Yeah binary search is pretty crazy, O(log(n)) is really nice compared to O(infinity) for regex

[sharp geyser]

no

[radiant kraken]

wtf

[radiant kraken]

Binary search is based

[wheat mesa]

Yes

[sharp geyser]

regex is O(infinity)?

[wheat mesa]

Fundamental algorithm to know

[radiant kraken]

no

[wheat mesa]

I was joking

[radiant kraken]

O(n!)

[sharp geyser]
