never uninstall python

sharp geyser
Dont fuck with python, cause that shit hurts
quartz kindle
ubuntu 20 requires python to run all these:
gnome-control-center
gnome-session
gnome-terminal
network-manager-gnome
ubuntu-desktop
ubuntu-desktop-minimal
ubuntu-drivers-common
ubuntu-minimal
ubuntu-release-upgrader-core
ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk
ubuntu-session
ubuntu-standard
ubuntu-system-service
lmao
uninstalling python literally kills linux
sharp geyser
Note to self
dont fuck with python 3.10
Works again

learned something new though
Now I know how to troubleshoot minor network problems at least
quartz kindle
Works again
did you reset from contabo panel?

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1326117/ubuntu-20-04-not-booting-after-uninstall...
right here
quartz kindle
which answer
sharp geyser
netplan still not a command tho
so yikes
Gotta figure that one out
pretty sure a lot of packages that come with ubuntu got uninstalled when python did
due to purging packages after uninstalling python3.10 & python3.9
quartz kindle
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt-get purge network-manager
sudo apt-get install network-manager --fix-broken
sudo apt-get install ufw --fix-broken
sudo apt-get install python3:any --fix-broken
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
probably dont need the last one since its not a desktop
sharp geyser
W: https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/focal/InRelease: Key is stored in legacy trusted.gpg keyring (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg), see the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8) for details.
E: The repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/certbot/certbot/ubuntu jammy Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

wtf does this mean

you need to reset the certbot repository
just do the certbot installation process again

Right so, classic question. Who should I go through for quality US servers?
october 26th my contabo vps contract runs out, and I dont want to go with contabo anymore
hetzner us servers also sadly aren't the best in terms of price and not to mention idek what exactly cpu I am getting
sharp geyser
yea
price is a concern
aws is fucking expensive as hell
azure and gcp are also
for what you get its not worth it imo
pearl trail
those are "quality servers" I know. maybe wait for others suggestions
digital ocean also expensive af
pearl trail
yeah lmfao
digital swan
Vultr is a bit cheaper than digital ocean for the performance
pearl trail
iirc it's contabo that has bad support and slow machine?
raven nexus
is it possible to make a command if the user already vote and make they allow to use specific command?
earnest phoenix

you can use api, but it's limited to the first 1000 votes iirc, and there's no way it'll be live
use webhook instead
and save the sent data from topgg to your desired db, and handle it by yourself

like this?
lyric mountain
why do you have both TOP_GG_WEBHOOK_TOKEN and WEBHOOK_PASSWORD?
lyric mountain
no, that's the former
x-webhook-password I suppose is filled by your webserver, but that doesnt add any safety layer
as any request will need to pass by it anyway, so it'll always be true
raven nexus

so i just have top_gg token and allowed_ip should be fine right

this doesn't apply if you're simply using it for dns
they probably cranked their plan usage to the maximum for extended periods of time

its likely but its mostly about the way they went about it, instead of just reaching out and saying "youre maxing our internal caps please upgrade" they went about it in a very weird way

hopefuly its well encrypted
why?
quartz kindle
why?
because the bot owner has all emails in his servers
if its not encrypted, he could very well access and use those emails, send spam, etc
and if not him, if his server is hacked, all those emails will be leaked to hackers
but i assume the owner of a decent security bot knows all this and took measures accordingly
frosty gale
with discord bots its extremely unlikely
most bot developers just happened to get a popular bot going and may have decent developer skills but security practically none
ive seen massive bots with tons of servers have exposed databases on their dashboards and a lot of very concerning stuff
no firewalls either

anybody know a good mongoose plugin to automatically encrypt certain fields and allows me to query encrypted fields (with the decrypted value)? I was looking at mongoose-encryption but it seems the only way to query encrypted fields is by doing this:
const allModels = await Modal.find(); // returns all documents with their decrypted values
const specificModel = allModels.find(({ field }) => field === "decrypted value");```im pretty sure there are
pre-save

prime cliff
The 2 things you can do is setup a proper linux firewall to block outside connections on all ports and allow stuff like your own ip and cloudflare ips to port 443 which will prevent ddos.
You could use another server to act as a proxy that all webhook requests use and your main server ip is not exposed.

we also have an api so the firewall option i dont think would be suitable? also for the proxy, i dont know much about networking so im not quite sure how i could do this. im currently using an express server which the api will be hosted on (and currently where the webhooks are being posted from) and this domain that this express server is being hosted on is protected with cloudflare

something interesting i found in brave
quartz kindle
something interesting i found in brave
any example of those v8 attacks?
Chrome is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. Specifically, this issue arises when the V8 JavaScript engine handles malformed JavaScript code. Malicious JavaScript code may gain unauthorized access to memory, allowing the attacker to obtain sensitive information and execute arbitrary code in the Chrome sandbox. Failed attacks may cause denial-of-service conditions caused by a renderer (tab) crash.
The attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting victim to view a malicious webpage.
interesting
frosty gale
i think its mostly an attack that is possible
the v8 optimizer compiles some of your code to assembly/binary so the same paths/snippets can run faster
if an attacker can somehow influence the assembly/binary that is generated or control execution flow you could thereotically escape the VM and get remote code execution
if there is no optimizer that doesn't happen and javascript is interpreted on the go
if you have bad js code the worst that can happen is v8 crashing from a bug or a buffer overflow perhaps
quartz kindle
so far what i've been able to find was limited to some native node modules
being able to pre-compile malicious code and have v8 execute it
so i dont think browsers are directly affected, yet

It wasn't a hack or a virus
It's just that my home internet had a dynamic IP and it changed once on 8/13.
After that, I kept trying to access the IP before it changed.
But just in case, I did a clean install.
I also used the router's DDNS feature to provide permanent access even from a dynamic IP.

specifically, this is what handles the special round 20 button
oh wait.. is it because i have it defering the interaction and well as sending the ephemeral?

No errors on log?

No errors on log?
no, not for round 20, just says that the players trying to use it are not eligible
lyric mountain
Where is the part where you send the "you are not eligible"?
Nvm found it
Ok so, the user is neither in game.players nor game.lastEliminated
As being in either would mean not reaching the else
Are them supposed to be in either?
past field
Are them supposed to be in either?
so the users who are using that button to jump back on the game are players who were eliminated in any round from 1-19, and if they werenโt eliminated then they just gave 5 lives to their current count. so anyone thatโs eligible is basically anyone who joined the game
past field
Where are u removing them?
itโs saving their user idโs in the lastEliminayed array
lyric mountain
But are u ever removing from game.players?
Cuz you have to be somewhere, and in that place it'll not be adding to lastEliminated too
past field
But are u ever removing from game.players?
Yes, when a player is eliminated during a round, they are removed from the game.players set
lyric mountain
And then added to lastEliminated?

lyric mountain
Which is why ur getting the "not elligible" issue
I'd actually advise never to remove the players, but set some variable to know they're no longer playing
This way you avoid both getting such issues and allocating a new array
oh ok, you're definitely getting a race condition there
past field
ah that makes more sense
past field
oh ok, you're definitely getting a race condition there
am i?
lyric mountain
am i?
Very likely, you're never checking if the turn that event is seeing is the same turn it was expected to see
Try saving the current turn somewhere before creating that collector
Then use if (turn === game.turn) or smth
Or have a variable somewhere to indicate the event was already ran
To prevent it from ever passing twice on the same code
Since ur reassigning game.lastEliminated
Optionally, put a console.log right before u reassign it
To see what array it's passing to that variable
Perhaps your filter isn't working as u expect too

in the block of code that logs non-elegible player, there is no reply/followup there, thats why they see interaction failed
civic scroll
what are you seeing about it?

in the first example, both playersToEliminate and playersEliminated are pointing to the same array, even though they are supposed to be different

What in the fuck is a milliard
Milliard is billion, at least in Poland
quartz kindle
Previously in British English (but not in American English), the word "billion" referred exclusively to a million millions (1,000,000,000,000). However, this is not common anymore, and the word has been used to mean one thousand million (1,000,000,000) for several decades.[4]
The term milliard could also be used to refer to 1,000,000,000; whereas "milliard" is rarely used in English,[5] variations on this name often appear in other languages.
In the Indian numbering system, it is known as 100 crore or 1 arab.

Hello
sharp geyser
like pre-defined tables/structures, or freely editable json-like
I think json like is fine for now
I dont want anything too crazy
I mainly am trying to write my own db solution for my plugins I make in rust (game)
The options they provide are absolutely terrible
and to use anything else in mono / netstandard 2.1 is annoying asf
quartz kindle
in any case, its a good idea to start with a key-value engine
you could use something like lmdb and build on top of that
or make your own from scratch of course
you will need to decide how to do the indexing, chose between hash table and b/b+ trees
sharp geyser
I feel like making my own from scratch would be more fun
but without a clear guide on what to do it will be more challenging
quartz kindle
so imagine this
you have keys and values
keys have to be converted into a fixed size
so you need to chose a hashing algorithm
sharp geyser
I see
quartz kindle
you hash the key, then you store the key hash into either a hash table, or a b+ tree
the key hash leads to another fixed-size value, a number representing some sort of location or position
could be the node number of a file on disk for example
then on the data itself you store both the non-hashed key and the full value
so basically:
key -> hashed key -> table/tree -> file index/number/position -> key+data
if you want multiple items per file on disk, you can define something like a bitwise number/index that contains file id and start position inside file
frosty gale
i made my own database and its not fun if you want it to be somewhat useful
neon leaf
@sharp geyser
quartz kindle
nice
sharp geyser
if you want multiple items per file on disk, you can define something like a bit...
Interesting
I will have to look into this more
should be fun :P
quartz kindle
the most complicated part is implementing the hash table or b+ tree
so you could instead use some library for that
the rest shouldnt be much difficult
quartz kindle
i've never done trees before, but i did a hash table, if you wanna go that route
sharp geyser
Alrighty! Thanks a lot for the information :P
I have to try and make this as efficient as possible

its possible, but not sure if worth it
do you absolutely need it to be scalable to infinity?
you can simply make a high-res image and resize it to multiple size breakpoints
then serve each according to screen size/pixel density

do you absolutely need it to be scalable to infinity?
nah fuck it
i have an svg generated of it, that scales pretty well right?

which can be easily used to make a persistent cache that supports multiple processes
and its sync
imagine if bot devs knew about it
:^)
sharp geyser
hell would break loose
mongo would lose money
the day bot devs become smart
is the day pigs fly
brave saddle
@empty steppe could you please give an update on what going on with your bot?

Have you ever heard of messagepack / memorypack?
yes lmdb-js uses messagepack for encoding
sharp geyser
oh cool
quartz kindle
i've also used messagepack in a few projects
sharp geyser
I was thinking of using messagepack in someway
but im not exactly sure how it works
quartz kindle
and one of my shelved projects is a competitor to messagepack, or it will be some day lol
quartz kindle
I was thinking of using messagepack in someway
its literally a json replacement
converts objects into buffer, and buffer into objects
looks like memorypack is a more specific format for C#, so its probably better than messagepack
messagepack is a more generic format

How exactly does get/set or get/init work in C#
I notice some people make private fields and then have public get / sets for that private field
like wtf is the point then?
scenic kelp
I notice some people make private fields and then have public get / sets for th...
that's what it does automatically anyways behind the scenes
public int Property { get; set; }
is equivalent to
public int <Property>k__backingField;
public int Property { get => value; set => <Property>k__backingField = value; }
which getters and setters are further reduced down into actual methods
the reason for doing that is to reduce coupling* since fields are not a part of a class' public interface whereas methods are (think about how you cannot have a field in an interface)
sharp geyser
I see
how does init work?
Because I want a "readonly" field, that only gets set once at class instantiation
From there on it should be read only, and unchangeable
scenic kelp
Because I want a "readonly" field, that only gets set once at class instantiatio...
that's what init is
although if it's constant you could also do say
public int FavouriteNumber => 25
what is this => notation
scenic kelp
kinda inline with the syntax for lambdas and expression bodies
public int GetFavouriteNumber() => 25
``` that would make a method that returns 25so technically it doesn't set it to 25
sharp geyser
oh?
sharp geyser
So it only "gets" 25?
scenic kelp
yes
sharp geyser
interesting
scenic kelp
if you did like DateTime.Now for example
sharp geyser
Im not quite sure how I would use this then
scenic kelp
it would always get the current datetime

public class ImpulseDb : IDisposable
{
private bool _isDisposed = false;
private string? _dbPath = null;
private LightningEnvironment? _env = null;
public ImpulseDb(string databasePath)
{
_dbPath = databasePath;
}
see I want _dbPath to be get only
and have it set only when ImpulseDb is instantiated
would I just do {get; init; } and then set it in the constructor?
scenic kelp
if you're prefixing it with a _ then by convention it should be a private field and not a property
so you should be using readonly rather than an init property
you should only be using properties for things you want to expose on your class's interface
scenic kelp
p much
there's cases where you might want private properties but few and far between
they're there to reduce coupling

I am writing my own database in C#, using LMDB as the backend.
Problem is, the way the wrapper for LMDB I am using works is that it requires you to dispose of the environment and quite literally everything else once you are done with it.
sharp geyser
using System.Text;
using LightningDB;
using var env = new LightningEnvironment("pathtofolder");
env.Open();
using (var tx = env.BeginTransaction())
using (var db = tx.OpenDatabase(configuration: new DatabaseConfiguration { Flags = DatabaseOpenFlags.Create }))
{
tx.Put(db, "hello"u8.ToArray(), "world"u8.ToArray());
tx.Commit();
}
using (var tx = env.BeginTransaction(TransactionBeginFlags.ReadOnly))
using (var db = tx.OpenDatabase())
{
var (resultCode, key, value) = tx.Get(db, "hello"u8.ToArray());
Console.WriteLine($"{Encoding.UTF8.GetString(key.AsSpan())} {Encoding.UTF8.GetString(value.AsSpan())}");
}
Like anything using the environment
also has to be disposed of
this is an example on how to use it
scenic kelp
why aren't you using using var for everything
sharp geyser
Well
Because I don't want to dispose of the environment until AFTER they dispose of the ImpulseDb themselves
scenic kelp
ig technically yeah you want to control when they go out of scope
sharp geyser
Transactions and stuff dont matter
I can dispose of that after its out of scope
but the environment i NEED to have remain until they call .Dispose themselves, or when the finalizer kicks in (not sure how finalizer works)
~ImpulseDb()
{
if (!_isDisposed)
{
Dispose();
}
}
public void Dispose()
{
// Dispose of connection
_isDisposed = true;
}
I somehow need to make sure I dispose of everything properly
otherwise memory go brrr
scenic kelp
i don't think you need finalizers with idisposable
sharp geyser
@dense flame
scenic kelp
finalizers should only really be used for unmanaged resources
sharp geyser
i don't think you need finalizers with idisposable
Well its more of a safe guard
scenic kelp
so like C/C++ stuff
sharp geyser
It will ensure that everything is disposed of
scenic kelp
no that's what dispose is for
sharp geyser
