Depending on the library you use you can use hybrid/bridged commands

Though prefix commands are old school and slash commands honestly are more powerful

[wheat mesa]

Tech debt piles up, you should eliminate it when possible

[tacit estuary]

https://trycatchdebug.net/news/1438629/discord-py-bot-cog-slash-commands

That website was the most I seen on how to use slash commands in cog files stuff but the stuff listed there is wrong since it shows errors for me. I copied everything on there exactly since I need example code that works as the main thing. This how it looks.

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.typing = False
intents.presences = False

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)
bot.add_cog(SlashCommandCog(bot))

bot.run("BOT TOKEN")

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

class SlashCommandCog(commands.Cog):
    __name__ = "slash_command"

    def __init__(self, bot):
        super().__init__(bot)

@commands.slash(name="hello", description="Say hello to someone")
async def hello(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"Hello, {interaction.user.mention}!")

[earnest phoenix]

Because indents matter

[long marsh]

For folks that implement cooldowns for their slash commands, what is your preferred method? I've been using a redis cache with a TTL expiry (which works fine), but just curious if other folks do anything different. I thought about using the database as the source of truth, but felt that it would be wasteful.

[frosty gale]

hashmap where you store the time the command was used with the key being the user and every time a person runs the command you check the hashmap and if x time has elapsed since last use if user already exists

the only annoying part is automatically clearing out old keys so they dont just sit around and collect

theres libraries that implement hashmaps with key expiry though so id use those

but they probably all just iterate over the entire map in an interval and check for expiry which can scale badly

[long marsh]

Thanks for responding! In this case, my solution may be more convenient. I check for the existence of a particular key. If it exists, it means they're on cooldown. If it doesn't, it means they can proceed. After the operation is complete, I create a new hashmap entry with a TTL that expires when the cooldown is complete.

[quartz kindle]

if your app is serverless and/or horizontally scaled, then yeah, redis is a good option

but with slash commands it doesnt matter much because discord has their own cooldown for them

unless its something that is part of your bot, like game/currency stuff that the user can only do it once every X time

[long marsh]

Correct - this is domain specific to the application I've built. That's a great point.

[earnest brook]

how do i make the embed colorless or invisible? Like apollo

[long marsh]

Do you have an example?

[amber quiver]

Pretty sure you just don’t assign a colour?

[deft wolf]

If you don't specify any color, it will automatically be black afaik

They probably specified the background color of the embed as the color, which makes it look as if the color bar was not there

[earnest brook]

well still the same with no color assigned to the embed

[tacit estuary]

I'm still trying to find example code of how slash command with cog files work. I got the regular cog file for regular prefix command.

[swift barn]

ohh thats easy to setup

[digital swan]

Just use a colour picker on the default embed colour

[tacit estuary]

I just found example code for it and to my surprise it worked. But it uses "bot" instead of "client" and get to translate that.

[lament rock]

The default Discord dark mode background color is #36393F, but This removes the rounded corner. I opt for the default Discord dark mode embed color which is #2F3136

It appears as though the default Discord dark mode background color has changed since I last checked. I use a nitro theme typically

I will have to get the hex codes again :(

[lyric mountain]

If the command cooldown is longer than a few minutes it'd be better to store last usage timestamp and compare when ran

This way you don't need a second database and guarantee unexpected shutdowns don't affect it

[lament rock]

redis is ephemeral data anyways

[tacit estuary]

Anybody knows how to make a slash requirement optional for a str based answer?

For example.

"Enter your question."

But have it be where they don't have to ask a question.

[tacit estuary]

Good news I figured it out.

[long marsh]

It's not in this case – my cooldowns are 3 - 5 seconds

[tacit estuary]

It takes one hour for slash commands to appear on other servers, right?

I used a direct thing to make them appear in my server right away for testing and just want to be sure.

[earnest phoenix]

Not anymore, pretty much instant

[tacit estuary]

Really? Cause it only appeared in my test server.

[lament rock]

If you're posting to a guilded commands endpoint then that will be the case.
Global commands will appear within 10 seconds or less typically

Guild commands are also instant

It was only during the initial release of slash commands that they took an hour to appear in all servers

[tacit estuary]

self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=MY_GUILD)
await self.tree.sync(guild=MY_GUILD)

I think that might be reason.

I'm new to slash commands so don't curse me out.

[tacit estuary]

Just gonna copy/paste here and keep looking online and hope I get lucky.

Here is the current code that works perfectly, but it ONLY works in my test server with the test server "MY_GUILD" id number I use. Does not work in the other servers the bot is in. How do I make it work for all servers? I am new to slash commands. I have it set up where both prefix and slash commands can be used in both main file and cog files and want to keep it that way.

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

MY_GUILD = discord.Object(id=123123123123123123)  # replace with your guild id

class DiscordBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(
            command_prefix = '?',
            intents = discord.Intents.all()
        )

    async def setup_hook(self):
        await self.load_extension('cogs.Weather2')
        await self.load_extension('cogs.Fraction')
        self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=MY_GUILD)
        await self.tree.sync(guild=MY_GUILD)

client = DiscordBot()

client.run('Token')

[tacit estuary]

I got it figured out.

[sharp geyser]

is this discord.py?

Cause with dpy it is rather easy to use slash commands with cogs from what I recall

[tacit estuary]

Late reply, but yes that is discord.py. Apparently all that was needed is to remove one line of code.

[tacit estuary]

I got headache from discord buttons. That stuff is hard to my surprise. Sure making a simple button is easy enough, but you can't use it in a while loop since it ends in a def function with no escape. I checked and the code ends when it gets stuck in the REQUIRED def function for the callback of the button.

[lyric mountain]

you're just using the wrong approach for the problem

there aren't any limitations of what you can do with buttons, it's just that you need to develop your own solution if you want to go fancy

server.js
app.post('/api/institution/studentRoster', (req, res) => {
  const { institution } = req.query;
  console.log("Request body:", req.query); 
  if (!institution) {
    return res.status(400).json({ error: "Institution name is required." });
  }

  const institutionData = institutionlist.find(inst => inst.name === institution);
  if (!institutionData) {
    return res.status(404).json({ error: "Institution not found." });
  }

  const students = studentList.filter(student => student.institution === institution);
  res.json(students);
});

api calls.js
export const fetchInstitutionStudents = async (institutionName) => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(`http://localhost:3080/api/institution/studentRoster?institution=${institutionName}`);

    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
    }

    const data = await response.json();
    return data;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error fetching institution students:", error);
    return [];
  }
};
let s = await fetchInstitutionStudents("red");
console.log(s);

I dont understand why req.query is empty

[wheat mesa]

Are you sure the query is automatically parsed?

What does your console log show

[stark abyss]

Warning: Module type of file:///C:/Users/x/Desktop/ReactProject/ReactProject/src/apiCalls.js is not specified and it doesn't parse as CommonJS.
Reparsing as ES module because module syntax was detected. This incurs a performance overhead.
To eliminate this warning, add "type": "module" to

[wheat mesa]

What?

That doesn’t have anything to do with what I asked

[stark abyss]

the request body: {}

[wheat mesa]

Are you sure that your API framework’s object name is req.query

[stark abyss]

no i am not sure what i am doing

[wheat mesa]

Also, do you have it backwards? Isn’t it (res, req) not (req, res)

The order matters, if I am not mistaken the first argument is the response and the second is the request object

But I’m not sure, never used that framework

Ohhhh I see the issue

[stark abyss]

i am sure its req res

[wheat mesa]

Your endpoint is set up as a POST endpoint but your fetch call is by default a GET request

Your endpoint should be a GET endpoint

[stark abyss]

  const response = await fetch("http://localhost:3080/api/institution/studentRoster", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({ institution: institutionName }),
    });

this isnt working either

[wheat mesa]

Because that’s not right

Make your endpoint a GET on your API

You are requesting information, you should not be using POST

[stark abyss]

oh

[sharp geyser]

This is starting to look like shit

@radiant kraken @civic scroll

🙏

Out here looking like Steam's default page for profiles

😭

[radiant kraken]

[civic scroll]

calm down

[radiant kraken]

why not design the main page first

[civic scroll]

just put all the information on there first

[sharp geyser]

Cause idk what to put on the main page

[civic scroll]

this is too early to make a verdict

[radiant kraken]

you should plan out though figma first

[civic scroll]

what's the main page about

[radiant kraken]

it's an e-commerce

same project we were working on before

[sharp geyser]

figma sucks for me

I hate it

[radiant kraken]

why?

[sharp geyser]

Cause I dont know how to use it

nor do I have the patience to learn

[radiant kraken]

but it's better to plan things out ahead first

[sharp geyser]

Not through figma tho

[pearl trail]

designing on the way is the best

[radiant kraken]

so pro

[pearl trail]

wdym

[radiant kraken]

i could never improvise on my design

it always look ugly

[pearl trail]

well same

like this for example, too basic

“simplicity” but no “creativity” 😭

[radiant kraken]

nahh

what about that social media

not basic 😔

[pearl trail]

but the design

is meh

[radiant kraken]

what about your website

not meh

but pro

[civic scroll]

everyone starts somewhere :pat:

[civic scroll]

i will see if i can do something about it

but as far as things go it's already pretty well for a quest board

[pearl trail]

whoa thankss!!!!

[civic scroll]

tbf i'm now questioning whether my design is implementable 😭

anything other than a rect is not my thing

@pearl trail oh yeah

you can also reference other quest screens in other UIs for inspiration

[pearl trail]

wth

looks so 🔥 🔥 🔥

wish i got designing skill 😔

[pearl trail]

so like from google?

[radiant kraken]

wdym you two are gods

look at ur website

[pearl trail]

does changing the white background from paypal's smart button make a trouble for me?

like legal stuff that i dont understand

[fierce topaz]

ummm

[limpid onyx]

I don't think it would. You're not touching the logo, just a white background

[pearl trail]

okii thanks

[surreal sage]

nameserver propogation im gonna cry

millions must wait

[frosty gale]

L my website is international

[real rose]

https://tenor.com/bWNOE.gif

[surreal sage]

celebrating my yummy isp ipv4 subnet in new year

[frosty gale]

this is exactly how i feel right now

[pearl trail]

didn't know AI can change their mind in the middle of generation 💀

[lament rock]

If this is gpt o then not surprising as it has so much more time to think and fact checking steps

[prime crescent]

true but this happens before writing to the user, changing their mind mid writing is rare but i have had it happen too.

I think its pretty cool, shows how well we can simulate human thought process.

[rocky ocean]

anyway to get my bot's status on topgg?

[sharp geyser]

Using a grid system, how do I center it on the page? I tried wrapping the grid in a flex box and aligning it on the center but that messes with the headline

I dislike the gap differences between the right and left

[queen needle]

Messes with the headline how so?

[sharp geyser]

It puts it next to it

Despite me using a different flex direction

I managed to get a desirable outcome

Except the title is not lined up

[queen needle]

How do you want the title lined up?

https://play.tailwindcss.com/Gq3Q5lp88t

i came up with this

but it yields the same

[sharp geyser]

<div>
    <h1 class="text-6xl underline pb-4 ">Products</h1>

This is my html & css

I want the title lined up with the card on the left

[queen needle]

ohh

okay

[sharp geyser]

Similar to my first image

but I want the cards centered properly

[queen needle]

As in you want the title moved too? or like the left side of the card is in line with the end of the underline of the title

[sharp geyser]

Right

Idk how to explain it more clearly

See how in this first image I posted, it is lined up with the first card?

[queen needle]

yes

[sharp geyser]

I want the title to stay aligned JUST like that when the cards are centered

Although I think after playing around more I got my desired result anyway

I just modified the size of the cards as they did seem rather small, and then increased the gap between them

Still looks a little off, but tbf I dont think ima get it to look appropriately without sacraficing something

[queen needle]

https://play.tailwindcss.com/UygpAfe25K?layout=preview

like that?

[sharp geyser]

Similar to what I did yea

[queen needle]

https://discord.mx/v/cyoDYjUuOY.mp4

stays aligned as it changes too

[sharp geyser]

Neat

The only thing not responsive on my page is the very top card

cause that one is annoying asf

💀

[queen needle]

do you need help making it responsive

[sharp geyser]

Sure

Im moving some things around right now to clean the code up

and I ended up fucking the layout up

Alright fixed the layout

making it responsive is too annoying tho so thats for a future project

[queen needle]

if you send it to me i can try and make it responsive and then just give it back

[sharp geyser]

I use a ui lib

so I dont think it will really work that well

[queen needle]

well as long as they accept classnames it would still be possible

[dire bluff]

it is great for what is this?

[sharp geyser]

not all of them do

Which is the annoying part

I have to hope the children will inherit from the parent element and wrap it in a div

[queen needle]

oh that's stupid lmao

could you use another component library?

[sharp geyser]

Not really, its deeply rooted already

[queen needle]

pardon?

[sharp geyser]

It'd be more work than its worth

Maybe in the future™️

[queen needle]

shadcn/ui if you ever change

[sharp geyser]

Yea I dont know why I didnt think to use shadcn

[queen needle]

what are you using?

[sharp geyser]

I use blazor so I just used whatever was easiest

and radzen is rather easy to setup

I know shadcn is node tho

so I dont know if it will work actually

[small tangle]

Im using MudBlazor which seems good so far

[stone pilot]

Hi guys

[serene vault]

greetings!

[sharp geyser]

Made the switch, its much nicer

[lament rock]

Added a daily command for my bot that I'm rather proud of the effect. Had an artist draw the background

[sharp geyser]

Pog

[small tangle]

[sharp geyser]

Hello C# / Asp.net users / blazor users.

Since I am still fairly new to C# I am trying my best to make my code work. I have run into the issue where I have 2 sources of user information. One from my auth server that stores all the important information, and then my own database that stores other information like settings, what organization they belong to, and other important information. I am wondering how I can merge these two pieces of data into one class. Right now I parse it in an extension method on ClaimsPrincipal, which parses the claims from the OIDC request into a class

public static class ClaimsPrincipalExtensions
{
    public static AuthedUser ToAuthedUser(this ClaimsPrincipal principal)
    {
        var roleString = principal.Claims
            .FirstOrDefault(c => c.Type == "urn:zitadel:iam:org:project:297838639419752450:roles")?.Value ?? "{}";
        
        var jsonObject = JObject.Parse(roleString);
        
        var roles = jsonObject.Properties().Select(property => property.Name).ToList();

        return new AuthedUser
        {
            Id = principal.FindFirst("sub")?.Value,
            Email = principal.FindFirst("email")?.Value,
            EmailVerified = bool.TryParse(principal.FindFirst("email_verified")?.Value, out var emailVerified) && emailVerified,
            Expires = int.TryParse(principal.FindFirst("exp")?.Value, out var exp) ? exp : 0,
            FamilyName = principal.FindFirst("family_name")?.Value,
            GivenName = principal.FindFirst("given_name")?.Value,
            Name = principal.FindFirst("name")?.Value,
            Locale = principal.FindFirst("locale")?.Value,
            Roles = roles,
            Avatar = principal.FindFirst("picture")?.Value,
        };
    }
}

public struct AuthedUser
{
    public string? Id { get; set; }
    public string? Email { get; set; }
    public bool? EmailVerified { get; set; }
    public int? Expires { get; set; }
    public string? FamilyName { get; set; }
    public string? GivenName { get; set; }
    public string? Name { get; set; }
    public string? Locale { get; set; } 
    public List<string> Roles { get; set; }   
    public string? Avatar { get; set; }
}

Now i need to somehow add the data from my database. What do you guys recommend?

I thought about passing in the database context to this method, but then i'd be injecting the DB context in tons of pages

[prime cliff]

@sharp geyser you can use a static db cache tied to the users id or you can create a scoped service that will fetch and keep that info cached until the blazor session ends

[sharp geyser]

Im not quite sure I follow how that relates to what I asked.

[prime cliff]

Well you already have a user id you can tie to or at least the email

[sharp geyser]

Right, but what I was trying to ask was a way to merge these two sets of data into one.

Parse the data from the claims gotten from OIDC, and then grab data about that user from the db as well

[prime cliff]

You don't need to merge them entirely.
Also claims stuff is stored in the cookie which has limits and can be cleared so only good for temp data.
The scoped service itself is per-session aka each browser tab which can cache info for that session.

You can also just create a static db cache that can dictonary the id to user data and keep track of that.

Some databases can also join data based on the id from 2 tables instead of merging them completely.

Depends what you really want to do tbh there's a few choices to do either and C#/blazor can be flexible.

The OIDC handler can also be used to create user data or create claims on login too.

Cookie stuff can't be modified in blazor but you can trigger api controller routes that can modify or add cookies and claims.

[small tangle]

In my project im using JWT tokens for auth and implemented a custom AuthenticationStateProvider to determine if a user is authenticated, because i was running in the same issue of ending up with two different sources of information. (and because that was the only way i could make authentication work with interactiveserver rendermode since the identity stuff requires static ssr for their pages .-.)

[prime cliff]

You could do that too yea but i bit more complex

[radiant kraken]

@pearl trail can i ask u something about css grids

[pearl trail]

ask em and i'll try my best

[radiant kraken]

so i have dis (ignore the fact that everything is ugly, im doing this for an assignment so aesthetics doesnt really matter)

the html:

<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
  </head>
  <body>
    <main>
      <div id="content">
        <article>
          <h1>Test</h1>
          <p>This is an article text.</p>
          <img alt="The photo" src="https://picsum.photos/250/170">
        </article>
        <article>
          <h1>Test</h1>
          <p>This is an article text.</p>
          <img alt="The photo" src="https://picsum.photos/250/170">
        </article>
        ...

the css:

      main {
        padding: 2em 3em;
      }

      main #content {
        display: grid;
        grid-template-columns: repeat(4, calc(250px + 2em)); // ?????
        gap: 0.75em;
      }

      main #content article {
        background-color: green;
        display: inline-block;
        padding: 1em;
      }
``` how do i properly make a grid out of this? where every column adapts to browser's width

like if i shrink the browser's width, the column goes from 4, to 3, to 2, etc

i'm very new to grids so don't roast me

resources online suggest to use a media query but that's just stupid

[pearl trail]

that's almost right

just change the repeat, with repeat(auto-fill, minmax(min width, max width))

[radiant kraken]

oh really?

[pearl trail]

yep

[radiant kraken]

i dont know what im doing lmfao

idk what repeat or minmax is

😔

[pearl trail]

repeat is like how much cols you want and assign it's size

[radiant kraken]

OH MY GOD grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, calc(250px + 2em)); WORKS

okay lemme see if i can try to center this

[pearl trail]

nice, but that'll have fixed size, so the contents wont be stretched based on the viewport's width

but it's up to you

[radiant kraken]

oh

idrc because its for an assignment lol but how would a minmax work?

like the min width would be the width of each element right

and what about the max width?

100%?

[pearl trail]

nope, the max width each content will have. like minmax(200px, 300px), the grid will try to fill the whole width with the content able to stretch between 200px and 300px

so there's no gap on the left and right

[radiant kraken]

oooo interesting

[radiant kraken]

wait how would i center this entire grid haha

adding align-items: center; justify-items: center; to main #content didn't really work

[pearl trail]

you need display: flex for that to work

[radiant kraken]

oh a stackoverflow thread showed that it worked for grids too

[pearl trail]

oh, it basically a way how to center anything inside the parent

[radiant kraken]

can flexboxes have grid properties?

i may sound dumb ik

[pearl trail]

sorry idk about that

i rarely use grid because flex-wrap <3

[radiant kraken]

oh really?

i thought since you're the css pro you would know about grids

[pearl trail]

not really 😔

haven't got into a case where i really need complex grid

[radiant kraken]

@pearl trail okay so i ran into another problem after switching to display: flex;

[pearl trail]

what is that

[radiant kraken]

the entire thing would become like after the images loaded

trying width: calc(250px + 2em); on each element didn't work

[pearl trail]

put that to main, not the #content, all the flex, justify, align

[radiant kraken]

huh

but wouldn't that make not much of a difference? since ```html
<main>
<div id="content">
<article></article>
</div>
</main>

[pearl trail]

where did you put the flex?

[radiant kraken]

main #content

after main #content there was supposed to be an aside but fuck it

[pearl trail]

if you use the translate method to center, then you do that on #content

[radiant kraken]

OH OH I FIXED IT WITH flex-wrap: wrap;

[radiant kraken]

what if i flex both main and main #content

[pearl trail]

nothing happens, but the #content wont be grid, it'll be like this

[radiant kraken]

it looks like this now ```css
main #content {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
gap: 0.75em;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}

now let's see if i can get the aside to work

[pearl trail]

yes that's what i said with this #development message

flex-wrap can do basic grid works sometimes

[radiant kraken]

thanks <3

[pearl trail]

your welcome <3

[frosty gale]

i like how in css you can do the same thing in 20 different ways

[radiant kraken]

@pearl trail heya are you still awake

[pearl trail]

always

[radiant kraken]

<3

[pearl trail]

lmafo fr

[radiant kraken]

uh how do i wrap the text in each element here so that instead of looking like this

it looks like this?

i tried text-wrap: wrap; but to no avail

[pearl trail]

huh, i don't get what you want

like, make the text
like this?

[radiant kraken]

this is the intended result

this is what i got #development message

[pearl trail]

wait, then you already got the answer?

if using text-wrap: wrap; and it's not working, try set the width

[radiant kraken]

set the width?

      main #content article {
        background-color: green;
        padding: 1em;
        min-width: 250px;
        flex-grow: 1;
      }

WAIT

[pearl trail]

ye, try set the width first

[radiant kraken]

YEAH THAT FIXES IT

💀

i am so dumb in css i swear

[pearl trail]

because the node doesn't know when to wrap the text, so you need to set the width to tell em

[pearl trail]

nah, you're learning

[pearl trail]

or max width

[radiant kraken]

i tried max-width no wonder it looked ugly lol

[pearl trail]

but it works right, the text-wrap

[radiant kraken]

this is max-width

ugly space 🤢

this is width

[pearl trail]

if you use min and max, set the width to 100%

min-width: 200px;
max-width: 300px;
width: 100%;

that should work

[radiant kraken]

alright i think i'm done :D it looks ugly but at least i got the layout to work!

[pearl trail]

good job!!

[civic scroll]

gaming

[radiant kraken]

sis

how much do you know about css grids?

[civic scroll]

usable
has accelerated machine learning support

[radiant kraken]

can you explain to me what repeat() and minmax() are

i've also read about 1 / 5 span

[civic scroll]

repeat(count, units) means f"{units} " * count

[radiant kraken]

what about attributes like auto and auto-fill?

[civic scroll]

auto is size

auto-fill means to automatically fill the remaining space

minmax is to maintain grid cell size

[radiant kraken]

just... size?

[civic scroll]

yes

auto is size

[radiant kraken]

[wheat mesa]

css is awful

[radiant kraken]

now i get you waffle

[civic scroll]

so say you want a column to take 100px, and the other to take the remaining space

[wheat mesa]

welcome to my personal hell

[civic scroll]

you'd say 100px auto

[civic scroll]

wym

[wheat mesa]

my job is fullstack rn

[radiant kraken]

css is fun until grids

[wheat mesa]

and the css is a fucking mess

[civic scroll]

that's the same as saying "svg is hell"

[wheat mesa]

no grids are the only thing usable about css

[civic scroll]

you'd be thankful that grid exists later

anyhow

https://css-tricks.com/auto-sizing-columns-css-grid-auto-fill-vs-auto-fit/

[radiant kraken]

i switched to flexboxes and it worked for me

[wheat mesa]

trying to do everything with flexbox will make you quit

[radiant kraken]

[wheat mesa]

use grid for layout, flex for alignment

[radiant kraken]

how does minmax() work?

[civic scroll]

1 / span 5 means starts from 1 and takes the next 4 cells (it spans 5 cells)

[civic scroll]

min-*/max-* but for grid cells

you declare a size range for your grid cells (how small / large it can get)

[radiant kraken]

what is the fr unit again

[wheat mesa]

the french language pack

[radiant kraken]

thanks waffle

[wheat mesa]

you're welcome

[radiant kraken]

OH

so minmax() just guarantees min <= x <= max

just realized the css rabbit hole is way deeper than i expected

Tommorow my english exam cant accept that English and chemistry is thougt in it

[frosty gale]

is it just me or did npm stop outputting a verbose output to operations by default now?

now all i see is a spinning bar when you used to see some verbose output

and you have no idea if its actually stuck or doing something

[sharp geyser]

They gotta keep you guessing

[real rose]

not too sure, but I think i had something similar earlier today and I was a bit confused

the output was different to normal

and it turns out my install was failing

[frosty gale]

that's usually what happens when stuff isnt working 😕

[real rose]

I meant different to a normal fail It wasn't spitting errors out the wazoo

I've a feeling it was the terminal I was using

[prime crescent]

why is it so stressfull applying for privledged intents, i get its probably 90% a formality but i felt like i was at an FBI interview.

😆

[neon leaf]

wdym apply

[solemn latch]

Lmao

[prime crescent]

if you want to have proviledged intents and be in more than 100 servers you have to apply

[neon leaf]

ah right 100+ servers

[prime crescent]

just hit 75 servers and got the most passive aggressive

"congrats! but if you dont apply were gonna block your bot lololol"

[solemn latch]

What privileged intents do you need?
The way you've described your bot it doesn't sound like it needs any 👀

[prime crescent]

message contents and server members

server members for some custom role handling and welcome messages for the community server

message contents for all the commands, im not using slash lmao

[solemn latch]

Message perms are typically not given for not using slash commands.

[prime crescent]

hmmm, yes i see from this email i just got as well.

[solemn latch]

I don't remember if members is needed for welcome messages either.

[prime crescent]

why are they trying to force slash commands, theyre ugly and not used.

[neon leaf]

they are amazing

[solemn latch]

👀 I'm not even aware of bots not using slash commands.

[neon leaf]

^

[proven lantern]

sockets are too expensive and not easy to scale

[solemn latch]

Webhooks are indeed the way to go

[prime crescent]

well yeah all the big ones have ofc migrated

i just like prefix better

might be nostalgia

[solemn latch]

Even small bots

I'd say 95% of submissions are slash

[prime crescent]

idk i just think / is clunky

takes up half the screen just to write a command.

[solemn latch]

Tbh, I don't even allow bots in my server that have message content intents.

Unsafe

[prime crescent]

i mean i guess, but its not really a problem on public servers. bot is not meant for private use servers.

If youre posting sensetive information on a public server 😆

[solemn latch]

It doesn't have to be sensitive info, just private conversations

Which happens all the time on larger private servers

Or even public servers

[prime crescent]

yeah but still, without prefixes what if you have two of the same bot that use the same name for a command?

[solemn latch]

Anyway, slash commands are good.

We have that happen all the time on the VC and it's never an issue 👀

[prime crescent]

yeah, i mean no reason to complain i gotta do it either way

[solemn latch]

You can also click on the bots name and it only shows commands from that bot

They've done a good job improving it since release

[proven lantern]

what happens if a bunch of bots have the same prefix now(back then)?

[solemn latch]

#265156361791209475 it was the best ^-^

[neon leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/no-access-discord-gif-15421450491491954100

[prime crescent]

fair point, but still i think its rare for 2 popular bots to share a prefix. as everyone who makes a bot avoids the known ones haha.

[solemn latch]

We hid bot hell?!?

Noooo

[prime crescent]

lol

what are we not seeing

[solemn latch]

Back when we invited all approved bots to this server

When prefixes were normal

g!help
Was fun to run, and you know crash the discord server

[prime crescent]

😆

i see

[proven lantern]

also your code needs to do a lot of extra work. it needs to parse every message to look for the prefix. then you need to parse the message to get the parameters you want. all of that is handled for you with webhooks now

[solemn latch]

You'd not be able to send a message in this server for a minute and just know someone ran a help command

[prime crescent]

no thats all handled for me by discord.py

[solemn latch]

Don't forget the CPU/memory overhead of caching and handling every message

[proven lantern]

on your server. you are paying for that CPU

[solemn latch]

Yeah

One large server join and you suddenly have 10% extra CPU usage and gotta upgrade.

Now it's not nearly as much of an issue

[prime crescent]

hmmm

[solemn latch]

When intents were added it was such a good time.

[prime crescent]

wdym

[solemn latch]

Before intents you had to receive every event(no matter what), so your CPU and memory usage were awful.

[prime crescent]

Hahaha i see

[solemn latch]

Large bots got cheaper servers pretty much instantly 😄

[prime crescent]

I got lots of work ahead of me, switch to a vps, switch to and refactor for a database, refactor for slash commands

[proven lantern]

go serverless

[prime crescent]

Wdym serverless

[proven lantern]

webhooks let you do it

[solemn latch]

Still using cloud flare workers ben?

[proven lantern]

aws lambdas

never tried workers

[solemn latch]

Has it gotten expensive yet?

[prime crescent]

That i can understand

[solemn latch]

Thats right, someone else was doing workers.

[proven lantern]

nope, my only cost is api gateway at $0.03 a month

[solemn latch]

How many events? 👀

[prime crescent]

???

[solemn latch]

I wish I knew how to explain serverless well

It's like putting your code globally, so there is no one server

[prime crescent]

Yeah, kinda what i guessed. Discord would have the code and execute?

Ooor

[solemn latch]

When it's done right it can't go down without some major outages.
It's really cool

Discord doesn't, you can use Amazon web services, cloud flare workers, whatever really.

My webhook site once to run on cf workers

[prime crescent]

So much API stuff, i dont know any of this 😂😂😂

[solemn latch]

Really cool workflow. But I wouldnt recommend it for you yet. You're on the right track right now

You'll learn serverless when you need it ^-^

[prime crescent]

Haha yeah, im also completely self taught only on my first semester of uni. So a bunch of these "professional terminologies" are flying right over my head 😂

Thank god for context clues

[solemn latch]

At least in software we don't name stuff like engineers do 😄

[prime crescent]

Haha yeah, but im getting the feeling that the more i learn and more “advanced” services and libraries i need. The more their names are from some brainstorm thinktank “how can we get the angel investor to dump their wallet on us”

[proven lantern]

i think it's 7k a month of api calls

[prime crescent]

MongoDB has DB, which at least half explains it. But before i got told it was mongo for humongous data loads or whatever, all i could think off was mongoloid 😭

[proven lantern]

cloud watch is annoying to use

[solemn latch]

I wish discord would focus more on webhooks for bots, would be cool to see.

[proven lantern]

the new discord webhook is nice, but they need to send an event when an app cancels a subscription or when an app renews a subscription

and they need to tell us what quests are

[solemn latch]

Yeah that would be nice.

[prime crescent]

Isnt it those “watch this trailer of batman game to get this bot pfp”

[proven lantern]

i've never seen it. do you know of a bot that does it?

[prime crescent]

Idk, but maybe discord wants to allow for some interaction with it? Maybe planning in advance

Since theyre pivoting from "bots" to "applications" maybe they want to let ur app make custom quests in the future?

Just theorizing

[proven lantern]

oh yea, that sounds right. like steam acheivements or something

[prime crescent]

Yeah, could allow for "user progression" beyond the scope of a bot message.

Seems like theyre more and more taking design tips from the chinese super apps

Discord gonna become the wests “everything” app

Not long before someone makes a ubereats ai agent so when youre gaming with ur friends you just say “bot order me a pizza” and it does so

Actually AI vc companion bot isnt a bad idea at all

Giving yall all my 300 iq brainstorms here

[proven lantern]

you can buy one of those amazon buttons and program it to order a diet coke

and then paint it red

[prime crescent]

😂

“Yeah this bot will order you a diet coke, just give us your adress, legal name and credit card information”

Dont even want to think about the data security needed for that

[proven lantern]

$5 convience fee added. plus tip

[prime crescent]

-# minimum tip of 20%
-# plus 15% service surcharge

[proven lantern]

Driver doesn't receive the tip either so you need some cash on you to tip them too.

[prime crescent]

Yeah and a monthly fee of $5 for “other”

[proven lantern]

inactive account fee of $30 per month

[prime crescent]

Account deletion fee of $100

I think weve got a good idea for a bot here, lets find an angel investor to scam

[proven lantern]

my website api gets a lot of requests. i didn't know it was that high.

[lament rock]

There are docs for a quest related event for a webhook, but it's internal only

[prime crescent]

im a psychic

Thats cool, hope it comes to fruition

[lament rock]

Uncertain. It might be horribly limited since either the bot would have to know everything the client is doing or Discord would have pre-defined actions which could limit creativity with quests

Stuff like message content is already behind privileged access so it's unlikely that the bot would be the authority for quest completion

Hi, I made a bot long time ago and I want to make it online again. So I followed the steps in Discloud but it says my requirement.txt is not correct. Then I reintalled my python application but it still doesnt work

how do i download it then

or i change it in the requirement.txt?

it says there's a code error but idk where specifically

how do i check?

[solemn latch]

Python typically will tell you the file location and line the error occurred on.

[earnest phoenix]

No module named 'discord' Does this mean i dont have discord.py?

[earnest phoenix]

i have this error but i have already got the discloud config in my project

[clear field]

i think yes

[earnest phoenix]

but i have everything in my bot folder including the discloud config but it still doesn't online

it should be in root with the main.py or app.py or bot.py

or I think discloud doesn't accept python bots

[earnest phoenix]

It’s in the main.py tho

[earnest phoenix]

i watched a video and the guy coded in python is able to upload to discloud and can run it properly

did you added the main.py in discloud.config

[spark flint]

[prime crescent]

After conversations with “bertha” from discord i was told i could have both slash and prefix commands

But then after asking if i could get the intents since she confirmed i could have both, she just ghosted me.

Bertha from discord is a cold woman

Bertha has taken the weekend off

[pearl trail]

yes you can have both, but not if only message command iirc, in summary, your bot need at least to implement slash command

[prime crescent]

gotchu, ive decided to prioritize slash commands either way.

just gotta refactor into cogs first as it will make everything easier, pain awaits. Should have used cogs from the start just didnt know what they were 😭

[deft wolf]

For Discord text commands (aka prefix commands) are not a sufficient reason for you to receive this intent

You must have any feature that actually needs this intent to function

[prime crescent]

So what youre telling me is to make a command that needs it beyond the suffix so i can use the intents, smart

[deft wolf]

Not really, I personally wouldn't do it just to use text commands

The less unnecessary events you get the better

[prime crescent]

Hmmm, my users are very accustomed to prefix commands though. But maybe its better to rip the plaster of right now rather than later

[frosty gale]

bertha 😭 😭

they have to be joking with that name

[frosty gale]

bertha needs a rest

[limpid onyx]

Why do you want to add text commands? I understand that some bots keep them because their users are used to it, but for a new bot... it's twice the code, and way less intuitive

[prime cliff]

Not twice the code or less intuitive if you know how to use it right

[prime crescent]

I dont want to add text commands, i want to keep the 10k loc ive already written with them.

But ive been pretty good at modularising so its not gonna be that much of a hassle to refactor into cogs and slash commands than i initially thought

[prime crescent]

Yeah i dont believe its less intuitive by any stretch of the imagination, 90% discord users have used discord and bots since way before slash commands were popularised.

For a completely new discord user yes slash commands will probably be easier to pick up

So I know KYC is about knowing your customer and collecting personal information to "prevent" fraud, but how exactly do you stay KYC compliant? What does it entail if anyone knows.

The articles i've read are just about collecting basic user information.

[warped summit]

Which is best to make it stay updating this webhook message every 5min or delete and send new boards?

[deft wolf]

I don't know if it makes sense to refresh them all every 5 minutes + this system makes it impossible to check last month's statistics if messages are deleted or replaced

Also why is there no second user in the month's statistics but there is one in the week's statistics

[frosty gale]

it is highly specific to jurisdictions which is why 90% of them offload it to a 3rd party to ensure compliance

it also depends on the type of service like cryptocurrency, finance, etc

[sharp geyser]

Yea, I was looking at stripe and determining how I want to use them

I'd love to use my own UI but that means I have to keep up with my own KYC compliance

and as a small time dev I can't do that 💀

[warped summit]

[sharp geyser]

I officially hate css

Why is the width and height so fucked

I am telling this div to take the full width and height of the parent div, but its just refusing to do so

[frosty gale]

static sizing being used somewhere in the dependency chain instead of responsive sizing type deficiency in skill (skill issue)

[sharp geyser]

[quartz kindle]

height percentages on work if there is a parent with a fixed height

[sharp geyser]

The problem is

I have no idea what parent is influcing what

Since i use layouts the final resulting html is a div, inside a div, inside another div

💀

[quartz kindle]

well if neither of them have a fixed height, a percent height will not work

[sharp geyser]

I've tried changing the height and width of each but no dice

[sharp geyser]

A fixed height?

[quartz kindle]

a div with height: non-percentage-value

[sharp geyser]

Well I have this

    <MudMainContent Class="min-h-screen min-w-screen">
        <div class="p-4">
            @Body
        </div>
    </MudMainContent>

I then tried setting the inner div to have w-full and h-full so its as big as the parent

but that does nothing

[quartz kindle]

what css does that generate?

also why is Class capitalized

[sharp geyser]

min-height: 100vh and min-width: 100wh

[quartz kindle]

try without the min

i think height percentage doesnt work on a parent with min-height

[sharp geyser]

Wth

It works now weird

I tried it without min before and it caused overflow issues

Now it doesnt

[quartz kindle]

exdee

[sharp geyser]

This is why I hate css

[sharp geyser]

man

thats not nice :c

[prime cliff]

The thing about c# is that your code can be stored pretty much anywhere in your project folder, you don't need to set modules, init functions or worry about node packages breaking stuff.

My code is always messy anyway 🙂
So worrying about how messy your code base is can just be easily improved with folder structures and minor namespace changes, you're really worrying about nothing compared to other langs.

It is saying line 40 which is var options = new AccountCreateOptions()

checking the stripe docs i've provided every required property

[wheat mesa]

Maybe I haven’t used enough of this, but why is Individual = {…} not Individual = new {…} or something?

[sharp geyser]

You technically don't need to use new here

since it already knows what it is supposed to be you can just do {}

I can try it with new and see if thats the issue though

yknow what

you are right

that was the issue

[wheat mesa]

I was gonna say

I didn’t think that was a valid way to initialize things

I’m surprised it wasn’t a syntax error tbh

[sharp geyser]

Im shocked to

[prime cliff]

@sharp geyser how are you setting the options part?
If you're running OnInitializedAsync then it would be fine but OnAfterRender and OnParameterSet means that the page is being loaded first which will be null until it fully renders and then sets it.

hey guys, i currently have a sqlite table setup, and my column was actually setup to be a datetime.
However, am i able to transform it to text instead, without having to remove all the data in the .db file?

i don't think so tbf, but figured to ask..

[compact condor]

Create a new table where the datetime is text instead, put everything from the old into the new table and drop the old one

also dont forget to rename the new table to the name of the old after the transfer and dropping the old one

[frosty gale]

why though

keeping it as datetime is extremely flexible

and you can convert it into a string at any time

Does anyone know what the syntax is for a command that creates a "private" thread? I only want the user that creates the thread (the user that sends the command) and the bot to be able to see / reply in the thread

[deft wolf]

Depends on the language and/or library if you are using any

[lavish drift]

Sorry, im using python and just the regular discord library

[deft wolf]

Unfortunately, I don't know much about python so I can't help you with this one 😔

[lavish drift]

[solemn latch]

👀 does discord.py support threads?

[solemn latch]

Channel#create_thread
type must be set to private

See: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=create_thread#discord.TextChannel.create_thread

[prime crescent]

Hi, anyone that can help me with discord.py?

im converting to cogs, which worked fine for me when testing. but now when i try to introduce it to my main script its not working:

i believe the issue is that i sort my cogs inside the cogs file, and that im not handling that properly. But im pretty useless with cogs so if anyone can assist that would be great.

it says theres no package specified for AuraCog but i have the setup function in the script.

[prime crescent]

guys nvm im just stupid

fixed it

[radiant kraken]

@civic scroll @pearl trail when you write a search box, do you guys make the search button inside the <input> element or outside?

if i do the latter it's so hard to write hover rules without using javascript 😭

[civic scroll]

outside

🫡

[radiant kraken]

thanks

sorry for asking such a superficial css question

[civic scroll]

also the latter is friendlier for kb navigation

idk how it behaves if you put that inside

[radiant kraken]

i just couldn't stop thinking about this x button

that every app has

😭

i really wanna add it but that would mean i need to write some js

[sharp geyser]

erm

hun

make the input type search

it comes with it

You can then style it afaik

[civic scroll]

that x is to clear the input

[civic scroll]

ofc

[sharp geyser]

Doesn't the default "search" input come with the x

it is also styleable as far as I know

[radiant kraken]

I KNOW

it's just

when you type something you couldn't go past it

which means the <input>'s width decreases

on focus

[civic scroll]

have you considered

div .input
   input .input-text
   button .input-clear-btn

[radiant kraken]

what's the parent .input for

@pearl trail teach me pro

[pearl trail]

sayuri more pro

[civic scroll]

or actually

[pearl trail]

but anyways, that parent div is used to make em flex and be "1 component"

[civic scroll]

you don't have to remove the x button

[radiant kraken]

i make the button transparent?

[civic scroll]

rather make it 0 opacity

and unclickable

[clear field]

use Lucide icons if using react they have very variety of icons

[civic scroll]

or yk, disable the button and make it 0 opacity

[radiant kraken]

then what if i wanted to type something in the search box

[civic scroll]

enable it and show

[radiant kraken]

but my cursor is on the invisible button

so it couldnt click it

[civic scroll]

pointer-events: none;

that would make the input underneath capture the mouse click instead

[radiant kraken]

WAIT

YOU CAN DO THAT??

i am so noob ngl

[civic scroll]

you are so learning

[sharp geyser]

Im confused on whats happening

[radiant kraken]

oh my god i hate this x so much

[pearl trail]

x

[radiant kraken]

is it okay if i use em for everything

[pearl trail]

hm, i prefer rem

[radiant kraken]

what's the difference

like is this ok

cc @civic scroll

[pearl trail]

rem is based on root, em is based on parent

[radiant kraken]

hm

lemme see if i replace every em with rem

[pearl trail]

just like tailwind, it use rem everywhere

[radiant kraken]

oh it broke my website

[solemn latch]

Itll do that

[civic scroll]

use em if you want the size to be based off font size

otherwise no

em is affected by local font size

while rem uses the font size used by the :root element

[radiant kraken]

i used em for everything because if i used px that would be bad

thats what i thought at least

[civic scroll]

by default it's a substitute for (em_size_int) * (root_font_size_px)

so 2.5rem by default is just calc(2.5 * 16px)

[solemn latch]

I think one of the benefits of rem is devices can change it.

For example someone who has their device configured to show larger text it will scale with it.

[civic scroll]

yeah

[solemn latch]

You can use em in places you dont want to allow scaling

[radiant kraken]

you dont want to allow scaling?

like what?

[solemn latch]

Things that cant scale

Like a box that has a hard coded width.

[radiant kraken]

aw

bummer

[sharp geyser]

Stuff like product cards

I assume anyway

Since typically you set the widths based off breakpoints

and scaling can fuck those widths

Though im not entirely sure 💀

frontend is not my mojo

[solemn latch]

I'm still awful at it 😄

[mystic matrix]

hi

[green kestrel]

cant wait until dpp 10.1 is ready to release... running it on a test bot and im like 😮

this memory consumption isnt really going to increase on that bot

we removed the need for a crapton of threads, seems the threads were adding a fair bit to memory use (same bot was 65mb before)

[pearl trail]

anyone know how to "force" these selections to appear on top? i tried finding on internet and mostly they said make selection from scratch

[clear field]

hey i want to add russian roulette to my discord casino bot Dyse please give suggestions on what i can do i have never played it before just have a little knowledge of what happens

but i dont want anyone to be kicked or banned

just a harmless cute little bot😘🥰

[solemn latch]

What are you looking for? psudocode? or an explination of how its played?

😠 come on discord. ratelimits on oauth?

[sharp geyser]

Makes sense

[solemn latch]

Probably ratelimited per account, right?

[sharp geyser]

Probably the app itself requesting them

[solemn latch]

I spammed sign in button on my site. Trying to redirect banned users.

[prime cliff]

You're meant to store the tokens until they expire too so makes sense to ratelimit it

[solemn latch]

But it was only like 5 requests, so its oddly low

[green kestrel]

from the same IP?

[prime cliff]

That says requesting many tokens though

[solemn latch]

ye

[green kestrel]

and for the same account?

[solemn latch]

yep

I'm assuming its per account

[green kestrel]

I think the limit is on tokens per min per account

[solemn latch]

yeah

[prime cliff]

I think you're doing something wrong maybe log the requests you're doing

[green kestrel]

you shouldn't need more than one as it should cache success

[solemn latch]

I mean, I was signing out and back in. Which the correct thing to do is get new tokens right?

each one was a fresh signin

[prime cliff]

Normally you would not be spaming logout and login though

[solemn latch]

yeah, its not an issue at scale. Just seems oddly low

if its per account* which it should be

[clear field]

explanation of possibilities and better if pseudocode is also provided

[solemn latch]

I store the refresh token, but the oauth spec I think wants you to request a new one on each fresh signin

[prime cliff]

Hmm lets try something

[solemn latch]

All I'd do is give all players an array, fill it with false in each spot, then put a true in a random spot.
Pop each array until one person is alive.

[clear field]

hmm

seems interesting

i'd try to do more reasearch on this

Thanks😘❤️

[solemn latch]

Thankfully its a really simple game to program and should only take a couple hours to do.

[prime cliff]

Hu that's strange the token endpoint dosen't have ratelimit response headers

[prime crescent]

all of these have 1-4 user commands that i have to change into cogs and slash commands

30 commands, in addition to having to change everything from ctx to interaction

😆 🔫

this is to the point of writing a script to do it for me.

[prime cliff]

Uh oh i just broke Discords oauth

[spark flint]

lol

[prime cliff]

@solemn latch yea not getting any ratelimit headers or ratelimits in general on /oauth2/token either that or you're hitting some kind of spam limit that shouldn't normally be hit.
Your oauth might be spamming or duplicating oauth token requests for a single user.

[solemn latch]

Its not oauth spam, my logs showed 10 requests in a couple minutes(due to me manually hitting sign in)

just was going a little too fast 😄

[prime cliff]

Hitting sign in multiple times shouldn't cause multiple requests either

[solemn latch]

👀 wdym, discord has to validate it.

[lament rock]

I think the main issue Builderb is trying to get across is that the logs should only show one attempt being made at either signing in or signing out. Any other amount is a bug

[delicate wigeon]

Does top.gg test bots in this server or another server?

[real rose]

Another server

[delicate wigeon]

Could I potentially get the id of that server so I can exclude it in my join guild leave clause?
I can share the code with you if that would be better too as to not breach any security, I just dont want it in any servers besides my os and the test server for you guys ^^

[digital swan]

Why would you want it on top.gg if you don’t want it in servers

[delicate wigeon]

I want the votes still, and it is a user application, the entire bot relies on users adding it as a user application

Plus top.gg is good for getting bots out there, its trusted, known, and widely available

(And I would like to have my message intents remain on my bot since I use it as a moderation service in its OS too, and use prefix based commands there since that should remain the only server my bot is in)

[bitter granite]

-verification

[gilded plank]

@delicate wigeon

The only guilds we might invite your bot to regarding Top.gg-related things such as verification or polls are:

• 333949691962195969 - Top.gg Verification Center
• 264445053596991498 - Top.gg
• any guild owned by a user with the role <@&767389896133443625> in this server.

Any other guild claiming to be affiliated with Top.gg's verification is very likely false.

[earnest phoenix]

Is there any sort of algorithm on top.gg?

[rugged dawn]

in terms of?

[earnest phoenix]

like do bots get an initial push when they are verified?

like in search terms

[hardy coyote]

hi

[prime cliff]

Lol that's crazy Microsoft updated their store policy and my rpc app cant use "discord" in the description

[surreal sage]

i mean this kinda

ndsuiysdngdx

[pine willow]

No

[sharp geyser]

I have this h1 on my page, and for some reason its auto focused and scrolled to. Anyway to prevent this behaviour?

[pearl trail]

is there tabindex=-1 on the h1?

[sharp geyser]

no

but i'd rather not put tabindex on every element

because if it isn't that one its another one it focuses on

[pearl trail]

like once the page loaded, it immediately focus and scroll to that h1?

[sharp geyser]

yes

[prime cliff]

@sharp geyser blazor has a component tag that does that check your App/Routes part, the box thing on focus shouldn't be doing that unless you have an accessibilty option or you tabbed to it or some css is doing that

[sharp geyser]

Why is this a fucking thing

💀

[pearl trail]

💀

[sharp geyser]

And enabled by default

[pearl trail]

is that vue?

[sharp geyser]

Blazor

C# thang

[pearl trail]

oh

[prime cliff]

Accessibility ✨
Idk why tbh its in the template

[sharp geyser]

It is a stupid accessiblity option

and to be enabled by default in a template

💀

[pearl trail]

h1 by default is not focusable tho, or it should be not focusable

[sharp geyser]

Well thank you

You solved me a lot of headache

[prime cliff]

Any element can be focused it's why apps like Discord have keyboard tabbed navigation

Press tab a few times and you can see

[sharp geyser]

Ion see nothing

[pearl trail]

hmm yeah i can see that

[sharp geyser]

Maybe mine is broken

[pearl trail]

there's no this thing?

the blue box

[wheat mesa]

I had to write a tab navigation system in my work project

But in raw razor with jquery MVC

It was awful

[prime cliff]

Yea the blue thing is the selector

[sharp geyser]

Do you use tailwind at all with MudBlazor?

[tacit estuary]

Why is there two of them and why do neither of them go away when the test bot is offline?

[deft wolf]

One is registered globally and second one is probably registered on this specific guild

And the status of your bot has no influence on whether commands are displayed or not. Commands are registered and Discord stores them. Your bot does not have to be online for them to appear in the client

[tacit estuary]

Oh. So what happens if one command is no longer needed?! Is it forever stuck there?

[deft wolf]

You can delete it using the API

[hidden gorge]

could there be a reason why my site on NGINX randomly died last night for no reason everything is running

i made 0 changes it just stopped...

NGINX Proxy setup:

[solemn latch]

Look at your nginx logs.

[hidden gorge]

How does one do that?

[solemn latch]

Should be in /var/log/nginx/

[hidden gorge]

Access or error?

[solemn latch]

I'd look at error first. but both

[hidden gorge]

oh

[deft wolf]

Leaked ip 😔

[delicate wigeon]

He tried to hide it but hiding it doesn't matter, can reverse domain search too usually

[hidden gorge]

Just found the issue

weirdly last night it was working on port 8000 but NGINX was set to 8080 just changed the port on the server.js and it works now

idk how it was running

[delicate wigeon]

Curiosity kills me here bc I have nginx setup too, do you not serve https? Or is the ssl cert and stuff setup in another file

[hidden gorge]

idk

[delicate wigeon]

||I think activities force you to use https for their connection, which is why I ask, and usually you reverse proxy for either load balancing or multiple domains across a single ip adress||

[hidden gorge]

tbh i just followed an article on how to Reverse Proxy a domain with NGINX so idk

im very new to NGINX

[solemn latch]

using cloudflare?

[hidden gorge]

yeah

[solemn latch]

Their https comes from cloudflare then

[delicate wigeon]

alright! Like I said, I was just curious. Ive done quite a bit with it now, so had to ask
I self sign certs with certbot with use my https

Ah

Okay

[hidden gorge]

ah thx

learned something new today

[deft wolf]

Cloudflare my beloved

[hidden gorge]

used it with Firebase a while ago 💀

pain

[delicate wigeon]

I avoid it bc Ive never used it
I went through the process of setting up nginx and then went from there, and then figured out you can use nginx to server multiple domains/subdomains sooooooo

After I had already bought a second IP address for my server ofc

[hidden gorge]

using cloudflare?

[delicate wigeon]

I dont use cloudflare, my server setup is purely nginx based, and using certbot to assign multiple domains to one ssl cert

[solemn latch]

Just make sure you have ddos protection using a setup like that.
