#MISSION_IMPOSSIBLE
For me
keen fulcrum
How?

find('x', 'y') to find(p => p.x === y)
ie

@earnest phoenix ^
and @keen fulcrum look into some roblox api or something, thats not really a topic we cover here

junior nacelle
@wicked summit I don't know JS that well but wouldn't you pass data when you call the delCC() function? Then you can do something with said data in the function.
wicked summit
Ok wait
function delCC(){
let opt = document.getElementById("toremove").data
let data = {
data: opt,
}
axios.post("/manage/<%=guild.id%>/customcommands/remove", data).then((res) => {
if(res.data !== "Success") return window.alert(res.data);
console.log(res)
});
}
@junior nacelle there ^
junior nacelle
this.data? I dont think I know JS enough to help you
junior nacelle
I would know how to troubleshoot this in a web application but not in a bot. Perhaps try using console.log for all of your variables to ensure they are getting what you are expecting
After let opt, console.log(opt)
Are you getting a return on the res console log?

I am using Bulma's dropdown feature
junior nacelle
@lusty dew The depends what you are going for; it is an input, what kind of input are you seeking?
lusty dew
Well
It is a dropdown
and I want it to input whatever the person chooses
So like for example they choose Cutie Doctor
it will input that choice
junior nacelle
@lusty dew good point, I typically don't write dropdowns that way so never thought about it

it means that another bot can activate commands on your bot
which can cause loops, which is why we muted it

any other way i can display the entire thing without those stupid compressions or whatever they are

I wouldn't put mutetime as a int
I would do

!mute @ user 12s
it would take 12s and mute them for that amount of time

hi,
so sometimes i get a missingPermissions error, i think when trying to send a message to a textchannel. i guess the serverowner is trying to use the commands in channels the bot can not post to? is there a workaround, or an established way of handling such a situation? should i let the user know whats going on somehow? or can i request permissions enough to post anywhere on a server?
earnest phoenix
just... don't execute the command if you miss permissions to do whatever the command does?
viral spade
the command is .send()
a user enters a command and gets no response because the bot has no permission to post in this textchannel
earnest phoenix
ok, but read what i said because you completely disregarded it
viral spade
i dont get it
i don't care about the error message. i care about the user not getting a response
the question is what should i execute instead

my bot is able to log messages, send files (as attachments) and send text messages to the channel. What permission does it require? Can I just leave it at ‘0’ cause it is no different from everyone else on the channel?
livid swallow
@inner jewel So, in other words - I could leave it at 0? Or were you replying to me?

earnest phoenix
nobody will help you if you provide little to no context about what you are using
daring trellis
Yep
glass linden
@earnest phoenix Like?
quartz kindle
like code sample, some tests you made like testing if the issue is with a specific song or songs
glass linden
It's not i already tested
quartz kindle
add some logging to your code so you can see when it happens and in which context
glass linden
But when i host it on my computer the skipping doesn't happen 🤔
When I host it on my host it skips randomly during the song
Could it be my host?
quartz kindle
it could be network issues, ram/cpu shortage, outdated or broken dependencies/packages
quartz kindle
whats your host?
glass linden
SyroNodes Every time i say this people always say its a wired host lol when they check it out
quartz kindle
it doesnt look like a well known host, so its very possible that it might be an issue on their end
glass linden
I check with them apparently it's not
quartz kindle
are you 100% sure its not your code?
glass linden
Is it easy to set up?
quartz kindle
google is not that easy, idk about amazon, havent used it
glass linden
Also do you need any Credit Card info?
quartz kindle
yes, to create an account
quartz kindle
look for a "compute engine" instance
F1-Micro - 600mb ram
thats their free tier
its free forever, but limited to 1gb traffic / mo
glass linden
Would i click that to learn about it?
@quartz kindle Also one of the support team people said it was youtube is this true?
quartz kindle
also possible, depending on the location of your home machine and your host, it could be a local youtube server having issues
regardless, whatever is causing the skip should be perfectly catchable and loggable and even auto-retry-able

JS question: I have a command handler implemented and I am struggling with breaking scope.
Command X - sends an Embed message
Command Y - Edits embed message
How can I get Command Y to retrieve the message I need changed?

then retrive it from said places

@amber fractal looks like I will have to go with a DB; discord.js has some serious issues when it comes to recalling messages. Stored the ID on a json, tried to use the fetchMessage([id]) command which is supposed to run on a channel command which apparently cant run on its own. If I do message.channel.fetchMessage - the promise is pending and even with a delay I am getting 404 not found.

@fiery nebula rip, now i feel even more like a nub

Well i basicly want to make a dank memer, but with different memes
i just dont know where to begin

do you have created the bot?

ok just try a normal command when you set it up

@frigid zephyr code?
this is my welcome message
with member.guild.channels.find() you can serach a channel and set it as a channel if its existing

hi
earnest phoenix
@fiery nebula so the tutorial wanted me to install node.js and other things, and wanted me to work with command prompt, does that sound right?
quartz kindle
yes
a bot is a software that needs to run somewhere, ie your computer or a server
the bot application in the discord website is just to create a "bot account"
earnest phoenix
Discord dont host them?
quartz kindle
no
quartz kindle
yes, or get a vps
quartz kindle
you're following a bad and outdated tutorial
also, first of all, do you have any experience with programming?
earnest phoenix
I do but not with the setting up part
quartz kindle
which languages do you have experience with?
earnest phoenix
Javascript and java
quartz kindle
alright, both of them have discord libraries to work with, you can use either of them
which one would you prefer?
earnest phoenix
Java script
quartz kindle
then you're on the right path, to use javascript you need to use node.js
now, the best javascript libraries for discord are discord.js and eris
discord.io (the one you tried to install) is outdated and not very good
so go ahead and take a look at the discord.js website
inner jewel
discord.io is outdated
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix
fiery nebula
discord.js best
quartz kindle
so take a look at their website, and their documentation
they have a getting started guide and much more

Alright, cheers

google is free forever, but after 12 months they charge for traffic above 1gb/mo, which depending on the size of your bot ends up being 1-2 usd/mo
faint topaz

not to mention I'm a noob on the subject to begin with xD

earnest phoenix
What exactly does node.js do, is it really needed
quartz kindle
node.js is a javascript runtime environment
it runs javascript code without a browser
quartz kindle
either that or anything else that can run javascript
faint topaz
so running a web-worker attempted to run my bot so thats cool
quartz kindle
you could actually run a discord bot in a browser if you wanted to
faint topaz
too advanced for 2019

its pretty awesome actually, because its super easy to test and debug
ornate shoal
my bot has a profile picture that changes every hour (it features a song that one of the users is listening to), but the discord bots site is having issues picking it up and can't display the profile pic
is there any way that i could fix it on my side, would implementing the api help (didn't look into the api much yet)?
quartz kindle
i dont think so, because of caching
faint topaz
the api is good to have if you wanna post your server count but I think the pfp would be handled elsewhere anyway
ornate shoal
hm yeah i see, its just for votes and stats
earnest phoenix
Surely theres a community where i can steal peoples code right?
ornate shoal
github
quartz kindle
thats a bad idea
earnest phoenix
Stealing code is fun
faint topaz
but how will you ever improve?
earnest phoenix
O i mean *borrowing
quartz kindle
good luck getting it to work
quartz kindle
i mean, you can take a look at other people's code if you want to understand how they are doing it, but dont just copy/paste
ornate shoal
you could also just use it for inspiration instead of copying everything, that way you'll even learn stuff
quartz kindle
copy/pasted code probably wont even work, and you wont understand why
late hill
@faint topaz You could have the web worker in a different app
faint topaz
if your having a rough time there was a git I used when I moved from C# to js, its a started bot with the events set up and a few basic commands. you just have to put your token in the config.
late hill
And for voting rewards use a db which is connected to both apps
faint topaz
oh that could work

no idea, havent actually used it
late hill
o
quartz kindle
but postgre is one of the best rdbms's out there
probably better than mysql
just harder to use and setup, which heroku basically does for you, and exposes it to you via an api
as far as i understood
latent willow
Since the logging stuff on my bot is the most spammy event (for messages send) I guess it would be better to create a webhook url per server which activates logging and send to the webhook (because of rate limits)?
Main question would be are webhook messages more tolerant for rate limits than normal messages send through the bot?
quartz kindle
what kind of logging do you do that spams so much?
latent willow
It doesn't really spam but it's the most spammy out of all the functions
It's just all these mod events user join left banned kicked role change and more.
So I thought I'll have a look before it's getting rate limited (I don't really know what's the rate limit for send message across all servers per second/minute)
I just thought about if there is a better way for it
quartz kindle
im not sure actually
check what big bots like dyno and tatsumaki are doing, if they're not using webhooks for logging, you should be fine
latent willow
Ohh alright ye already checked bigger bots and they don't seem to do sth. special.
Alright thank you 2 I'll keep it this way then

@viral spade basically sharding is not compatible with databases that create file locks, such as leveldb, which only allow one process to use it at a time
viral spade
so with my noobish mysql, hows my perspective?
quartz kindle
you'll be fine
viral spade
du i have to set different users or something?
quartz kindle
just make sure your database is designed so that it can function with arbitrary requests that do not depend on data from other shards
knotty steeple
quartz kindle
for example, if you have functions that require getting data from other servers, you need to review that
knotty steeple
how do you do
quartz kindle
because they will be executed in a shard context
basically any kind of cross-guild code
viral spade
no my bot loops through all users in the servers and insert stats into the db. teh stats can be queried with commands, but only from own server. should be fine right?
quartz kindle
yeah should be fine
viral spade
aight thanks very much
so do i see it correct that sharding basically is just 3 lines of code, adding that "shardmanger"?
quartz kindle
yeah, just in another file
that file will be like the "starter"
and will run your actual bot file multiple times as shards
viral spade
ok thanks
inner jewel
@quartz kindle sharding is compatible with file locks
if you use internal sharding
what's incompatible is multiple processes
both major js libs have internal sharding afaik
viral spade
i have a cronjob once per minute that takes the client/bot object as input. i set/start the cronjob after the bot has loggedin. i'd like to shard and wondered can i make it so every shard gets a different cronjobinterval with 10sec offset?

https://hastebin.com/papabawisa.py
inner jewel
you might need a global queue or something
once each shard connects, add it's task to the queue
and every 10s, you check if there's anything in the queue
if there is, remove it and start the task
quartz kindle
yeah, he was talking about the shard manager
but you're right, i wasnt specific enough

its 2.5k guilds that u should start sharding right?

you need to start before
if you hit 2.5k and its not sharded your bot will break

you can still run 1 shard with 2500
at 2501 it'll break
if you don't get disconnected you could have eg 10k guilds on one shard
you only get errors when connecting with > 2500 guilds on that shard
earnest phoenix
fi
earnest phoenix
This is why I run 4 shards on 73 servers
bright spear
ok thats borderline api abuse
quartz kindle
well, you're using 4 connections instead of 1, but thats not much of an abuse anyway
keen drift
languid dragon
super unnecessary more than anything
earnest phoenix
I'm future proofing
keen drift
lmao
languid dragon
you're wasting whatever resources your bot takes up x4
earnest phoenix
I already did lmao
languid dragon
not to mention how silly that sounds, you make it sound like you're going to get 8000 servers overnight
earnest phoenix
I did that at 60 for like a few mints then stopped
keen drift
cough
quartz kindle
btw how was the ram/cpu difference?
quartz kindle
between 1 shard and 30+

earnest phoenix
Ive been meaning to check that
inner jewel
using more shards shouldn't affect the memory usage
earnest phoenix
I've got to go out soon I'll update you when I get back
inner jewel
maybe for users
quartz kindle
doesnt it spawn more node processes?
inner jewel
but if you have unified cache for all shards
keen drift
depends how you shard it
inner jewel
running more shards won't increase memory usage
at most the needed memory for the socket
earnest phoenix
legit I just added shards=shardscount
quartz kindle
does node.js reuse memory among multiple processes?
inner jewel
no
earnest phoenix
I'm in dpy
inner jewel
but i'm not talking about spawning a process per shard
i'm talking about one process running multiple ws connections
keen drift
ye
quartz kindle
yeah internal sharding
inner jewel
if you have a split cache, adding shards does increase memory usage
quartz kindle
im asking about normal sharding
keen drift
I just do 4 shards per process, then like 10 pods
earnest phoenix
What are pods?
inner jewel
d.js is pretty much the only snowflake
keen drift
kuberenetes pods
earnest phoenix
ok
bright spear
d.js has internal sharding

i need help
how do i install discord.py on heroku
lol
i get this Collecting discord.py==1.0.0a (from -r /tmp/build_b377451db7b41ea54720be482eccdd8f/requirements.txt (line 1)) Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement discord.py==1.0.0a (from -r
i tried discord.py==1.0.0a
heroku is a .js only I believe
i dont think so
nvm
i used a link
all good
kk
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix yeah you should buy something reliable
-
Bots are not what the platform is designed for. Heroku is designed to provide web servers (like Django, Flask, etc). This is why they give you a domain name and open a port on their local emulator.
-
Heroku's environment is heavily containerized, making it significantly underpowered for a standard use case.
-
Heroku's environment is volatile. In order to handle the insane amount of users trying to use it for their own applications, Heroku will dispose your environment every time your application dies unless you pay.
-
Heroku has minimal system dependency control. If any of your Python requirements need C bindings (such as PyNaCl binding to libsodium, or lxml binding to libxml), they are unlikely to function properly, if at all, in a native environment. As such, you often need to resort to adding third-party buildpacks to facilitate otherwise normal CPython extension functionality. (This is the reason why voice doesn't work natively on heroku.)
-
Heroku only offers a limited amount of time on their free programme for your applications. If you exceed this limit, which you probably will, they'll shut down your application until your free credit resets.
bright spear
but iirc u can run python on heroku
earnest phoenix
Well
pulled from the discord.py server itself
I have heroku premium
Sooo
14gb ram dedicated, whatever
good for you
Yea
earnest phoenix
there is a development version
twilit ledge
rewrite
bright spear
ah i see thats async
earnest phoenix
i still dont see why people would buy something that is actaully meant to be a webserver then a vps
buying heroku premium is a bigger ripoff than the kenza cosmetics scam
Question.
you can find a vps 2 times cheaper and 2 times stronger at DO/Scaleway/GC/AWS
IF someone votes for my bot, and uses a votelocked command
@earnest phoenix oh and good luck with voice on your bot hq|one
and I'm not using webhooks
bright spear
earnest phoenix
votelocking is bad dont be an asshole to your users
If i restart will they still be able to use the votelocked command?
bright spear
do you check the api route?
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix I only use it on commands that use a lot of resources
bright spear
if so then restarting will have no effect on it obviously
bright spear
swifti how are you checking it
earnest phoenix
bright spear
well then restarting will obviously have no effect

also the question goes in #topgg-api

Btw just got done with it after about 30 mins
Its not identical
But thats just to show its easy to do
and would be a lot faster to do it on your own
bright spear
@keen drift well if its something you want people to open in their browser, it just makes them copy-paste instead of clicking it
and theres no reason to do it
amber fractal
I didn't want people to click it, I did it more for the quote "Why reinvent the wheel" because I think saying a true programmer would not copy something isnt true
But what I dont like is asking for code that you just want
that hasnt been made
or optimized.

wtf? In the invite code I have it set to 8 or Administrator and have administrator check while inviting my bot, but when my bot joins it says it has these permissions:

It keeps showing the command before the message can anybody help me?
I keep getting this error for some reason
From that code
Takes ages for the error tho
I didn't tho

@earnest phoenix make a new webhook
leaking your id and secret means people can send to your hook

anyone able to answer a discord.js question?
earnest phoenix
probably
junior nacelle
I am struggling to figure out how to parse a promise; it doesn't seem to behave like a normal object.
I sent a message and stored it in a const, now I am trying to delete said message using the message.delete(); but if I try that it will error that delete is not a function (my guess is because it is a promise not a message) but promise.message or promise.Message is also not working. Yet oddly I can promise.content.
@earnest phoenix thoughts?
earnest phoenix
const m = await message.channel.send("test");
m.delete();
worked fine for me

const Command = require('../../structures/Command');
const { MessageEmbed: Embed } = require('discord.js');
module.exports = class Help extends Command {

module: 'General',

guildOnly: false,
});
}
async command(client, ctx) {
const locale = await client.getLocaleFromCache(ctx.guild.id);
console.log(locale);
let usersCommands = null;
ctx.client.d.developers.find(id => id == ctx.author.id) ? usersCommands = ctx.client.commands : usersCommands = ctx.client.commands.filter(cmd => !cmd.developerOnly);
if (!ctx.args.length) {
const embed = new Embed()
.setAuthor(locale.welcome.replace('{{commands}}', usersCommands.size))
.setDescription(locale.description)
.addField(locale.commandsTitle, usersCommands.map(c => `\`${c.name}\``).join(' \u200B '))
.setFooter('YouTube', client.user.displayAvatarURL({ format: 'png' }))
return ctx.send({ embed });
} else {
}
}
}
would anyone recommend a switch-case setup here or is if-else fine
performance wise
junior nacelle
@earnest phoenix i see my issue, I was assigning it to the const while it was still a promise, I needed to add the await. Thank you

Hey, so im making a bot that picks out random memes, im making it in discord.py.
I can make it pick out images from an URL but not locally, can someone help me?
if someone can, please do send a dm
lament meteor
u do the x = [] thing and pick one of em at random
earnest phoenix
huh?

@earnest phoenix take a look at this random module, this is what you might want to use https://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html
fiery nebula
can maybe someone explain me how i get the last message of a channel
i tryied it like this but its not working
glass ivy
I think it's lastMessageID if you're using discord.js
amber fractal
<Channel>.fetchMessage(<Channel>.lastMessageID) returns a promise message
or should
fiery nebula
how do you mean Natan
amber fractal
I think he is refrencing the stuff found here https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/reference using the api endpoint instead
I might be wrong tho cuz idk what he's talking about either
quartz kindle
i think he means because lastMessageID is cached and might be outdated, using something like fetchMessages() instead of fetchMessage() (in d.js) will get the latest messages from the api instead of relying on the cached lastmessageID
amber fractal
so you mean something like <Channel>.fetchMessages({limit:1})?
quartz kindle
yeah
that should request it directly from the api without requiring a message id to be known
rotund mango
/home/ec2-user/discord
quartz kindle
although in his case, if he wants to get the message he just sent, its much better to use something like .then(msg => {})
earnest phoenix
Where would I put the code to post server counts to dbl sites? My bot is sharded and only displays that specific shards' guild count instead of total guilds. Where would I put the code to make it work?
JavaScript with Cmd Handler
quartz kindle
if you're not using internal sharding, you need to use broadcastEval i believe
quartz kindle
i dont know if the sharding file has a ready event... i dont think so
earnest phoenix
Indeed it does
quartz kindle
does it? then put it there
earnest phoenix
shard.on("spawn")
quartz kindle
hmm
earnest phoenix
Yeah but what about rate limits?
quartz kindle
you'd need to wait for all shards to spawn
earnest phoenix
oo
quartz kindle
then use broadcastEval to get the guild count from all shards
quartz kindle
wait
i think dbl also accepts individual shard count no?
so you can just have each shard send its count by using the shard id
i think that would be way easier
yeah it does .postStats(serverCount, [shardId], [shardCount])
quartz kindle
why not?
earnest phoenix
NSFW Only bots are not allowed in this Server
quartz kindle
the nsfw rule is only about having it in the description, shouldnt affect any api usage
oh they banned strictly nsfw bots too

viral spade
Heyi get a DiscordAPIError: Missing Permissions when i try to send a message on only a few servers. i guess the bot has no permission to send messages in certain channels. how should i handle this? people are kicking the bot because he cant answer
quartz kindle
or .catch(console.log)
viral spade
i dont mean not getting the error. i mean what do i do about people kicking the bot because it doesnt respond
quartz kindle
and wouldnt message.member check for permissions from the user who used the command, not the bot? lmao
earnest phoenix
Nothing you can do about that lmao. It's their choice
Darn
I was hoping you wouldn't see that Tim lmao
quartz kindle
what you can do tho, if add your permissions to the bot invite link
that will automatically create a bot role when they add it
viral spade
all the bots have the permission
earnest phoenix
Wouldn't if(message.guild.member(client.user).hasPermission("PERM")) work?
inner jewel
you should also check permissions on the channel
because even if the roles allow it, overrides may deny
viral spade
i guess there are channels that need special roles or smth for writin. independet of the invite permission
inner jewel
yes
quartz kindle
also, if your bot sends embeds, for example the help command in an embed, it needs the embed links permissions
viral spade
but i wanna tell people whats going on
quartz kindle
so you should add the embed links perm to your invite url
viral spade
so they dont kick the bot but try in another channel
earnest phoenix
Hey Tim
manager.on('launch', shard => {
//shard.on("spawn", () => { console.log(`[Shard ${shard.id}] Shard has been spawned.`)})
shard.on("death", process => { console.log(`[Shard ${shard.id}] Shard has went offline.`)})
shard.on("disconnect", () => { console.log(`[Shard ${shard.id}] Shard has disconnected.`)})
shard.on("reconnecting", () => { console.log(`[Shard ${shard.id}] Shard is attempting to reconnect.`)})
if(shard.count > 3) console.log("Not yet")
else console.log("NOW!")
})
Bottom 2 lines
That would work right?
I tested it but all it says is NOW
I'm spawning 5 Shards
viral spade
it's working in 350 of 353 guilds so its not about invite permissions
quartz kindle
but does your invite url have permissions in it?
quartz kindle
then its their fault, and should be treated as such
viral spade
sure, i just would like to inform them about it
quartz kindle
some people are just dumb, you cant fix their problems
earnest phoenix
You should see if the bot can DM the user that it doesn't have permission to speak there maybe
quartz kindle
i mean, you can try sending them dms
earnest phoenix
^
quartz kindle
but thats frowned upon
earnest phoenix
🤢
quartz kindle
nobody likes getting dms from bots
quartz kindle
i think the best practice is just rely on the users figuring it out
i mean
when people try to install something, they need to figure out how to use it too
nobody installs google chrome and then complains it isnt working
earnest phoenix
2019 people are just dum lul
viral spade
yaaah sure but the creater has reason to make it easy for them
quartz kindle
the only thing i do is listing the required permissions in my docs/description
viral spade
the user interface and experience is part of the bot 😉

@earnest phoenix does an individual shard have a count property?
quartz kindle
so just use shard.id
i mean, you want to console.log something different if the current shard id is bigger than 3
earnest phoenix
Currently spawning 5 Shards and this still wont work:
manager.on('launch', shard => {
//shard.on("spawn", () => { console.log(`[Shard ${shard.id}] Shard has been spawned.`)})
shard.on("death", process => { console.log(`[Shard ${shard.id}] Shard has went offline.`)})
shard.on("disconnect", () => { console.log(`[Shard ${shard.id}] Shard has disconnected.`)})
shard.on("reconnecting", () => { console.log(`[Shard ${shard.id}] Shard is attempting to reconnect.`)})
if(shard.count === this.totalShards) console.log("NOW")
else console.log("Not Yet!")
})
this.totalShard is 5
amber fractal
shard id starts at 0
quartz kindle
ah so you want to wait for the last shard?
earnest phoenix
Might as well do it that way lol Or would it not work as good?
@amber fractal Yeah i know, I also tried doing if(shard.count+1 === this.totalShard)
still nothing
quartz kindle
the thing is
amber fractal
well try and log shard.count and this.totalShard seperately they may be undefined
quartz kindle
you're launching all shards at the same time]
meaning shard 5 can finish launching before shard 4
so you cant use that method to find out when all shard finish launching
earnest phoenix
manager.spawn(this.totalShards, 1000)
Not really, there's a 1 second delay between shards getting spawned
quartz kindle
ah alright
what if a shard fails to launch?
does the delay wait for it to retry?
amber fractal
what exactly is he trying to do?
earnest phoenix
Well if a shard fails to launch then i'm dun fucked 😂
amber fractal
This is what I use, and it does show the total amount of shards, which is 1
quartz kindle
i think what you should do
earnest phoenix
I could make a seperate command to post it to the servers
Do it every so often manually
amber fractal
Thats what mine is
quartz kindle
is waiting for the ready event on each shard, and increment a variable with it, and check if the variable equals total shard count
amber fractal
but you can still broadcast eval in an auto poster
earnest phoenix
Screw it.
quartz kindle
that way you can see when all shard are connected, regardless of connection order
amber fractal
You'd still need to broadcast eval
amber fractal
then just in your bots main file
do it automatically
Wait no
disregard everything I said
quartz kindle
.....
shard.on("ready", () => { connected++ })
shard.on("disconnect", () => { connected-- })```Could I make a command that sets it on a timer and then posts it every so often such as like, every minute or so or would that be a lil spammy?
quartz kindle
lul
amber fractal
Thats what I have
quartz kindle
i have it every hour
amber fractal
Its just on a setTimeout() in a function that calls itself
