lusty dew
Oof
tight heath
@lusty dew yes very sure lmao
lusty dew
Then why isn't it working wtf
tight heath
oh waitttt
kb > mb > gb
so ug
1024³B = 1024²kB = 1024MB = 1GB
add a 1024 everywhere lol
mb = bytes / (1024 **2)
gb = bytes / (1024 ** 3)
gb = mb / 1024
lusty dew
Wait what
I'm not good at math can you explain it a bit?
And i don't understand this byte to kb to mb to gb conversion
winged thorn
oh yeah kilobytes exist
dumb us
byte -> kilobyte = /1024
kilobyte -> megabyte = /1024
megabyte -> gigabyte = /1024
lusty dew
So basically just divide by 1024 2 times to get mb?
winged thorn
yes
fierce thorn
1 kilobyte =
1000 bytes
lusty dew
Then I can check if that is greater then 1024 and if so send the gb format?
winged thorn
yup
winged thorn
lusty dew
Wait
So to get gigabytes
I'd divide 1024 two times then multiple 1024?
Or just keep dividing
onyx summit
afaik from bytes to GB you divide two times trough 1024
lusty dew
But I thought diving 2 times gives you mb
Cause you gotta convert bytes -> kb -> mb
That's 2 times dividing already
lusty dew
So if I divide another time I'd get gb?
winged thorn
indeed
lusty dew
Okay thanks
Divide three times to get gb got it
I'm making a mental note of that lol
winged thorn
lmao
winged thorn
lusty dew
Lol
tight heath
@fierce thorn no
winged thorn
The order of magnitude goes
bits -> bytes -> kilobytes -> megabytes -> gigabytes -> terabytes -> petabytes -> exabytes -> etc
tight heath
in cs you use 1024 because it's the closest power of 2
2 ** 10 that is
which makes much more sense since like everything is binary
winged thorn
with network transfer speeds tho you use 1000 instead for some reason
storage is always 1024
lusty dew
Mem is still off
In pm2 console it's above 100mb
Unless that whole thing = the mem in the console
onyx summit
pm2 shows the amount of ram the os gave to the process
but the actual used heap is way less
winged thorn
math.floor I guess
lusty dew
Can't you use Math.floor or smth
onyx summit
good question
winged thorn
that works I guess

How can i get member with a specified permission? Discord.py
if someone know please tell me today and not next year
winged thorn
Can you elaborate
Do you want to check if a member you already have has a specific permission or do you want to get a random member with a specific permission
grizzled canyon
Why do I get a forbidden 403 when trying to connect to the API with python?
winged thorn
Have you supplied your API key
earnest phoenix
are you sure it's a 403 while logging in
and not a 403 while trying to do something else e.g modify a user
trail dagger
@winged thorn i want to get all members in that guild with the specified permission
winged thorn
Filter guild.members by the permission then
grizzled canyon
I supplied my bot's token
earnest phoenix
incorrect token should return 401, not 403
i'm pretty much sure it's impossible to get 403 from logging in
grizzled canyon
I passed a different token an got 401
earnest phoenix
401 means incorrect token
earnest phoenix
are you using your bot's token?
grizzled canyon
The one that discordbots gave me
earnest phoenix
🤦

@winged thorn I dont remember how i can filter guild.member by permission
winged thorn
for member in guild.members:
if some_permission in member.guild_permissions:

slender thistle
member.guild_permissions.some_permission returning bool
winged thorn
or checking specific channel you can use member.permissions_in(channel)
trail dagger
if kick_members in member.guild_permissions: kick_members is not definded
not working
at all
not even a little bit
trail dagger
That is working! Thanks
abstract crow
@onyx summit Is there a way that I can have the WS server just output data every second so that way whenever I request the data, it is always up to date?
unique nimbus
ngl idk what you are doing Vinnie but cant you loop it per second?
abstract crow
Yeah but like I don't see that as "economical" for the instance
earnest phoenix
thats not the point of a websocket
abstract crow
Like I just want the Websocket Server to output my info so no matter when I request it, it is always up to date
earnest phoenix
the point of a websocket is to be able to exchange realtime data
abstract crow
So heres what I need to do. Maybe WS isn't right then.
Send information from website to bot. Bot does something with that data
Bot sends off stats, website pulls it
earnest phoenix
client sends data to the website asking for it's data in return -> server gets it -> server returns back requested data
abstract crow
The website and the bot run on separate instances. I have my websites running with a script, and then my bot with another
Correct
Website tells bot: Hey, send a message in x channel with y content
Bot does that
Stats Page: Hey bot, give me the stats right now
Bot: 400 users, 275 servers
earnest phoenix
https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/610098730925817877 to get data from website to client
if your website needs to get client data just vice versa it
abstract crow
So you mean like the website sending off stuff to the client?
The bot is the server from what I was told
So website gets data from client, or client gets data from website?
earnest phoenix
you got told that your website should be also your websocket server since it needs to handle http requests already
abstract crow
Correct
So should I use the WS Server for the website sending stuff to the bot?
Website says send a message and the bot does that
earnest phoenix
and vice versa
abstract crow
Ok but is there a way that with the bot, whenever I request data from the WS server, it is automatically up to date?
earnest phoenix
you decide what to return in response
abstract crow
The website just says tell me the stats. The bot says ok here are the current stats and sends it
Does that mean that each request will pull the most up-to-date information
earnest phoenix
yes
earnest phoenix
a websocket is like a continuous stream, it doesn't stop, if you send anything it will be received on the other end in real time, once you receive it you can handle the data and decide what you're going to do next
abstract crow
Gotcha
onyx summit
my server already hosts websites, yes
lusty dew
Okay, could I host one in the future?
onyx summit
sure
winged thorn
whats the pricing like
onyx summit
no, I have my own server

@slender thistle yep
earnest phoenix
in folder i put discord.py i put folder named discord?
slender thistle
Let's turn logic on
slender thistle
If you have any file in your bot's folder that is named discord (disregard the file extension), what do you need to do to fix the discord.ext package not found type of error?
earnest phoenix
yep
slender thistle
That's not a yes/no question
earnest phoenix
i need to fix it
ou need to do to fix the discord.ext package not found type of error?
yes i need
slender thistle
what do you need to do to fix the discord.ext package not found type of error?
sage bobcat
One message removed from a suspended account.
winged thorn
do you know how importing works in python?
slender thistle
It's trying to import the file you are running
earnest phoenix
this is the files and discord.py is getting errors i added folder discord as u said
slender thistle
I never said "create a folder named discord"
earnest phoenix
Then What
winged thorn
import discord, tries to import something called discord
slender thistle
Me:
Do you have any folders named
discord
You:
Yes
Me:
Do you think that could be the issue?
earnest phoenix
i dont have folders named discord OMG
earnest phoenix
can u edit it and send me ?
no one is downloading that
upload your code to a site
slender thistle
Congratulations, you exposed your token
earnest phoenix
ok dm
slender thistle
I'm gonna ask you again. Do you have any files OR folders that are named discord?
slender thistle
In the folder where you are running the bot file
slender thistle
Now, how do you think Python is going to find the PACKAGE, not your custom FOLDERS?
If they are named the same
earnest phoenix
then what to do
slender thistle
Logic, my friend
slender thistle
If you had two folders with the same name without knowing their contents, which one would you choose?
slender thistle
And that's not how Python importing works
abstract crow
Is there a way that I can insert into an SQL database but only if there is no current row?
With that value*
winged thorn
Select statement for a record with that id, if none insert
abstract crow
That is what I do now
But like I feel like it is overkill
There has to be a better way
winged thorn
There isn't an easier way
From what I've gathered
If you want to create a table there's if not exists but no equivalent for records afaik
slender thistle
First off, Python searches the folder the file (basically) was ran in. You have file and a folder named discord. Python imports them, but then you are doing from discord.ext import commands, when that gives the error. And the error appears because there's nothing named ext in the discord folder/file.
So you are importing the file you are running, essentially.
winged thorn
not the module you need
slender thistle
I would suggest learning simple things (about Python, if you want to go that way) before getting to complex libraries
earnest phoenix
a sane person would actually first learn a language they're working with
slender thistle
Wrong channel
earnest phoenix
@slender thistle still nothing btw

It would be better if you also sent screenshots that could help me understand what you mean by "nothing"

This is a really dumb brain-fart-type question: In JavaScript, if I want to get the first N elements from an array, do I slice arr.slice(0,N) or arr.slice(0, N-1)?

I'm trying to get the account age in years if their age is older or equal to 1 year
The person I got the info on account was made in 2016
earnest phoenix
subtract the createdAt date from the date right now and you'll get the age
math basics
lusty dew
I am
Well actually I'm doing that in the check
if(userTime >= 31536000000){
time = moment(member.user.createdAt).format('Y')
}else{
time = moment(member.user.createdAt).format('MM/D/YY | HH:mm:ss a')
}
That's my code
And userTime = Date.now() - member.createdAt
The check works
I tested that twice
It's the formatting
I can't remember how to display just like 1 year or 2 years, it responds with 16 or 2016
Which I don't want
earnest phoenix
all you have to do is divide userTime by length of a year
or you can get the utc year and subtract it by 1970
lusty dew
Why would I still be using userTime?
earnest phoenix
ah wait you want to format it
earnest phoenix
you don't even need moment for that
lusty dew
Like if they made their account in 2016 it'd display 3 years
Really?

@earnest phoenix I'm a bit confused by that, what would I use the getUTCFullYear thing on

it would be a Date instance of the date.now - createdAt differential

Quick question about hosting. Are there any super easy hosting options for bots? I have a simple dice roller I'd like to have up 24/7 and launching it all the time via boxshell is getting old. I've tried the amazon AWS stuff but for whatever reason it shuts down about a day after starting.
maiden mauve
@untold parrot I've had pretty good uptime with Heroku.
every now and then some slow replies but 100% uptime
valid frigate
heroku doesnt count as a vps
you should consider hosting your bot in a vps, if you ask some experienced bot developers they can point you to good cheap options
iirc heroku also requires additional setup/if the bot isnt doing anything it shuts down after 30 minutes of inactivity
lusty dew
Heroku or glitch would get you API banned iirc
valid frigate
hosting has nothing to do with api, it's based on how many requests you make etc.
lusty dew
Not sure about Heroku but glitch
valid frigate
plus you can mess around with your server as an added bonus
lusty dew
Causes API spam
maiden mauve
any server would be the same API threshold?
unless you literally sharded a new webserver for every guild?
lusty dew
Cause every time code is edited it autosaves and makes the bot relogin
maiden mauve
but local hosting (testing for example) you relogin in the bot 100 times a day
and its no issue
lusty dew
Which causes problems with API spam you're only allowed to login 1000 times before it's ratelimited
maiden mauve
unless your testing code specific to the server environment why would you push an update
lusty dew
So if you edit code on glitch 1000 times + taking In account if something goes wrong and errors glitch is just gonna keep logging your bot in over and over
maiden mauve
I've updated my code to Heroku maybe 15 times of the 300 i've done locally
lusty dew
Heroku is just bad either way
It wasn't mean for bots
Meant*
And you run into problems of something iirc needing to pay for more storage or whatever
valid frigate
someone mentioned like $3 a month
lusty dew
You can get a VPS that suits what you need for 3-5$
valid frigate
- you can use people's DO referral codes for like $50 free
lusty dew
Ye
valid frigate
with their cheapest option you get 10 months without having to pay
lusty dew
Yea
untold parrot
Speaking of, with my little guy I'm making I notice in the shell that it has a tendency to log in a bunch of times even when I'm not editing any of my .js files, it stopped most of the logins after I turned off malwarebytes but it'll still sometimes still login and send the "ready" message as if it had been changed. I'm not sure what's happening.
lusty dew
Do you use nodemon?
untold parrot
Yeah, through boxstarter
lusty dew
Nodemon will restart your bot Everytime it senses a change in the bot files
untold parrot
Even if I'm not actively editing any of them?
untold parrot
That makes more sense
lusty dew
All that needs to happen for it to restart with nodemon is a change in any of the bot files
untold parrot
Gotcha, is there a better way to run the .js without it doing so? Or is that a required function of running a bot?
lusty dew
That's why I stopped using nodemon
untold parrot
(I literally started all this a week ago so I'm very very new to all of this)
lusty dew
use the built in thing when you download nodejs
node botfile.js
Ofc change botfile to your main file name
untold parrot
Oh neat. Cool, yeah I was just following the nodemon instructions, I assume that it's mostly meant for hot reloading so you can test/run it at the same time?
untold parrot
rad
Hmm, I wonder if my use of nodemon while on Amazon AWS is what caused it to eventually time out. I might see about just node n.js with it and see if it behaves any better.
untold parrot
The primary difference?

quartz kindle
run a webserver in the same machine and connect to the bot's database
opaque eagle
or use an api
gaunt basin
This has happened to be twice now
Anyone know who's in charge of this? I'm confident that it is not allowed
Also I'm in no servers with the bot
opaque eagle
The user who made the invite link was banned
gaunt basin

unique nimbus
I think the bot is banned
opaque eagle
In the invite box, it says zPraDz has invited you to join"
gaunt basin
And he was there
opaque eagle
that user was banned from DBL
unique nimbus
they aint here
gaunt basin
Oh ok
unique nimbus
else it would be pinged
gaunt basin
Report to discord?
gaunt basin
So this isn't against ToS?
unique nimbus
it is

I make a converter in binary, unfortunately the for takes each number one by one, or it must take them by 5, I can not find a solution, see know one?
quartz kindle
make it an array and loop over the array instead?
"01010 10101 01001" -> ["01010","10101","01001"]
for item in array```or however arrays work in python
midnight vine
this is a good idea, thanks

How do I retrieve the second mentioned member in a message in discord.js?
tight heath
you might wanna check this video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
but yeah this should answer your question; https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37822141/how-do-you-get-the-key-at-specifc-index-in-javascript-map-object
the message mentions are a Collection which is an extended map
maps are not really meant to be indexed
you could do a hackaround using msg.mentions.first(2)[1]
or msg.mentions.array()[1]
@eager kraken
eager kraken
Tysm.

lusty dew
Didn't know you could pass numbers in the .first()
Though never was smart enough to look it up either lel
tight heath
oh lmao
lusty dew
Yea
tight heath
my first project was may 2017
lusty dew
Oof
tight heath
so not much longer
lusty dew
Mine was 2017 as well
Very first bot I made was in python actually
Then I switched to d.js
tight heath
oh yeah
lusty dew
Then to d.js master
tight heath
i tried C# but it hurt my brain as a complete beginner
and yes master >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> stable
lusty dew
About 2 months ago
I was recommended to learn
C, C#, C++, then Java
In that order
Or C# and C++ could have been switched around
It was about that order lel
Honestly wanna dive back into python
But I forgot all that I learned lel
@tight heath do you know python?
tight heath
the very basics only
lusty dew
Oof
Teach me ;3
Jk
I need to find a way to learn python again though
I don't think they have python docs do they?
tight heath
there are py docs but they're only useful as a reference
not for learning
same as nodejs docs
¯_(ツ)_/¯
earnest phoenix
yeah true
tight heath
like
I've recently implemented my own small websocket thing in node
and looking up the crypto api in the docs was actually useful
earnest phoenix
i have not even made my bot idk where to start
tight heath
https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html or this
lusty dew
Learning a lang is a good start
tight heath
@earnest phoenix https://discordjs.guide, after you've learned some basic node.js
is by far the easiest way
the d.js community has so many help resources
tight heath
for example I need this once https://discordjs.guide/oauth2/#oauth2-flows
and it's cool
lusty dew
Oh shit
tight heath
yeah web dash lol
lusty dew
That's help me as well
tight heath
oauth2 is super complicated usually
lusty dew
I need to implement oauth2 in my project so I can connect it to a website
Bookmarking that shitn
lusty dew
Book marking that as well
lusty dew
You know C++?
lusty dew
😂
tight heath
our previous imagegen was in go https://git.farfrom.earth/aero/imagegen
lusty dew
Nice
tight heath
but like don't get me wrong
lusty dew
I honestly wanna Collab with someone
tight heath
I can read C++
lusty dew
I miss it
tight heath
I just can't write it
btw you can join aero at any time :p
might even get a free JetBrains license
lusty dew
Aero?
tight heath
the project I'm working on
lusty dew
Ah cool
I have to get a new PC first
Been coding on my phone
Which is big ouchy
But luckily most of the errors i get are just typos
Lel
tight heath
but yeah for JetBrains: http://win.a.free.ipad.verylegit.link/gzJUB;P295spam.min.js.png.exe
lusty dew
Better then VSC?
tight heath
VSC is a text editor
JetBrains makes IDEs
stuff that actually understands what you're doing
tight heath
not really no
VSC is like a mixin between a text editor like sublime
and an actual IDE like IntelliJ
lusty dew
Most of the IDE extensions crash
tight heath
but it's not any of those
unique nimbus
@lusty dew Are you a student?
tight heath
discord client is electron
lusty dew
Ye
unique nimbus
lusty dew
O.o
unique nimbus
put in your student email and you get free professional
for a year then you have to renew it
tight heath
well using OSS I get licenses as long as the project exists
unrelated to student stuff
lusty dew
What project is aero working on rn?
lusty dew
Oh
tight heath
lusty dew
What does it do
tight heath
lots of funny things, focus on extensive automod
and scalability
we have a backend service, https://git.aero.bot/aether
to handle shards and communication
and deploy using https://k3s.io
basically this is my playground with everything future tech
all the stuff you wouldn't do in your first discord bot
but rather all the cool stuff
websockets, oauth2, clusterizing, imagegen, ...
unique nimbus
profile commands are long normally
unique nimbus
when I made my one it was like 150 lines
tight heath
lusty dew
I can help test it if you want UwU
tight heath
yeet we use mongo
lusty dew
Go ahead
tight heath
:p
lusty dew
This was something mongo would hate
😂
It was a tos bot
Just something to do and fuck around with
Yukari
tight heath
oh oof
tight heath
someone needs to remind me to clusterize mongo
lusty dew
I use mongodb as well
tight heath
because currently mongo is the only thing not running in multiple instances
but only on one server
which means it's prone to errors and downtime
because like
http://extremely.absolutely.completely.verylegit.link/>virus=895password+mobiads!!iphone.virus.png.pdf
all the rest runs in this
which are decentralized between 3 data centers
2 in EUW, 1 in US-East
quartz kindle
did you name them yourself?
lusty dew
Can someone help me with a mongodb problem
I don't get any errors
But my bot won't write userData to the db
const Discord = require('discord.js')
const db = require('./db_connections.js')
module.exports = (client) => {
client.checkUserExist = async function (id, cb) {
try {
let data = await db.loadUserData(id)
if (!data) {
data = await db.writeUserData(id, {
id,
bal: client.settings.starting_balance,
xp: client.settings.startingXP,
xpMultiplier: 1,
coinMultiplier: 1
})
}
return cb ? void cb(null, data) : data
} catch (e) {
return cb ? void cb(e) : Promise.reject(e)
}
}
}
My friend helped me write this code
small prairie
i need help
on databases
i am using json which is HE** i dont like it at all my files have got corrupted two times i need help on setting some else like sqlite i cant use mongodb as the serveice which i am using to host my bot doesnt really alllows mongodb
small prairie
discord.js
quartz kindle
take a look at better-sqlite3
small prairie
ohkay will do 👍
that will be okay for customizable prefix and other things right? like customizable message
like welcome message
quartz kindle
coincidence
quartz kindle
also i dont use mongo, and i dont know what your db class is, so i cant help
but you should at least show your db_connections file
quartz kindle
same
winged thorn
When I get back from holiday I was planning to switch to postgres
winged thorn
Isn't mongo just fancy json with good performance
tight heath
@quartz kindle those are the anemoi, greek wind deities
@winged thorn and caching and stuff
quartz kindle
cool names
tight heath
@lusty dew you might wanna not put your credentials in a paste
lusty dew
Ah shit forgot
winged thorn
Yeah probably not a good idea
lusty dew
Oh shit fuck me
I forgot to change it again
Ugh
Changed
Maybe that was the problem all along?
quartz kindle
also, idk if you can use {id}, i can only see {id:id} in the mongo docs
quartz kindle
well then ok
lusty dew
Basically same thing with different naming
Could that callback thing have been the problem the whole time?
quartz kindle
btw, any specific reason you are mixing promises and callbacks?
promises are kinda supposed to replace callbacks or avoid needing them
lusty dew
My friend helped me write the code he suggested that part
Idk why either
But I'm switching dbs rn
Soon*
So as long as it works for now
I'm fine with how it is
Nope
Didn't work @quartz kindle
Actually
Is the function even running
Wait I haven't called it yet
Is there a way I can call it when a user talks in the server?
cinder patio
in the message event
lusty dew
Would I pass it like client.checkUserExist(message)?
earnest phoenix
anyone here
