@modest maple to add to what you said earlier, ive once used a combination of json and mysql together. mysql 5.7+ and mariadb 10 support it. basically, you have standard mysql tables and you can put user defined data into a json data type in a column, it natively supports searching json with a search path
i used that in a commercial program to allow for the subscriber to add their own table 'columns', as far as they were concerned they were adding custom tables to the db, but obviously we didnt actually let them add tables or columns. if done right, you can even add indexes on json subparts
its basically a more correct and scalable way to do the antipattern of "entity-attribute-value"
severe gyro
@green kestrel Huh, can i help you with that project you have for today?
I suppose you're going to write it in C or C++?
green kestrel
already writing it in C++, yes
i have a whole raft of existing module loader code im going to reuse
severe gyro
Oh, awesome, can i join?
green kestrel
got some suggestions?
hmm, perhaps at a later date. once i have a module loading facility, it may be nice to bring on other team members
right now, the only place to put code is in the core, and thats icky
after xmas would be a good time 🙂
severe gyro
I know C and Assembly + some knowledge of ELF and PE
So, it's up to you to decide if i can join
green kestrel
do you know what my bot does?
severe gyro
No
severe gyro
But i just love low-level stuff way too much
green kestrel
im currently modularising the javascript interpreter and the infobot routines
it integrates duktape so that it can be extended by channel owners
severe gyro
You're getting me to orgasm with these words, Duktape is my fav JS engine
green kestrel
i think i just found a dev friend 😄 😄
i'd definitely welcome the help, but i do need to get the code in a nicer state first
you can see how it is atm on github
severe gyro
Oh, okay
green kestrel
wont be long, i code fast 😄
severe gyro
Thanks, i'll be waiting

Bonjour/bonsoir,
j'aurai besoin de vous pour une erreur que je ne comprends pas.
J'ai restart mon vps (mon bot était déjà dessus) et depuis cela, j'ai cette erreur:
Si vous avez une solution, je suis preneur.
flat pelican
in english, but "no such file or directory" means "il n'y a pas de tel fichier", tu essaies de chercher un fichier qui n'existe pas

J'avais bien compris
Mais pourtant, juste avant le restart du vps, tout fonctionnais

Hello,
I will need you for an error that I do not understand.
I restarted my vps (my bot was already on it) and since that, I have this error:

If you have a solution, I'm interested.
Tout est good pourtant 😦

what u trying to do?
modest maple
you dont apear to be giving it the right file path
for it to look for
i believe there is a command similar to python like os.listdir which returns a list of directories within the file path specifier
specified*
that might help if someone can tell them what the Js version of the command is

fs is like os.dirthings

Ok
So, what should I put? Because before the restart of the vps, everything worked very well ...

modest maple
The ideal applicant
Here are some things we're looking for in bots that want to apply. Following this one or more things on this list gives you the best shot at being accepted in to the program.
Bots that have a primary function which is executed and performs well
Beautiful clear documentation for users of your bot
Useful and fun bots
Unique and Original Ideas
Clear aspects of your bot that seperate it from the crowd
Developers who can read all of this and understand the requirements for applying don't guarantee entry to the program
@surreal sage
surreal sage
ok
modest maple
Certain bots just aren't fit for our certification program and small edits/additions likely won't change this. Below is a list of things we're not looking for in our certification program at the moment
Multipurpose Bots
We prefer bots that are built for one or two features that are well made instead of hundred of useless/poorly designed features.
8ball / coinflip / RNG based commands
If one of your bots main/only commands is magic 8ball/coinflip or some other random number generated command don't bother applying
Non-English Speaking Bots
Your bot must support the English language. British English for extra points ;)
🤔

i can do const colorarg = hexes + .args right?

yeah dots are annoying
no erros but hope it works
gonna try

@modest maple
oof
make that a string?
the "hexes"
think so
surreal sage
http://prntscr.com/q9bb3z hmmmmmm
no string there lol
gonna try the dot without string
modest maple
are you trying to change the colour of the embed or send the colour name>?
surreal sage
yeah..
well the value of the color in the json is the hex
so it works
prob
does not start cuz of the dot
oof
dream
u know how to let the dot work but not make it a string
?
modest maple
i dont exactly get why you are adding + . + args
modest maple
when normally embeds just take the hex code direct?
surreal sage
like: axhex <color>
like blue
it gets "blue" out of the json and the value of it is the hex of the color
but args is the same as name
the problem is
the dot
else it wont get it
i tried dot and hexes in strings but it showed: hexes.<colorname>
should i add a: js const hexes = require("./json/color-hexes.json")?
extra?
dream?
u know how to fix this?

Switch something with hexes in my example

how to fix

surreal sage
... thats not what i mean

Yes, you want colorarg to be one of the hex values

?

thats not what mean
late hill
From what I'm getting, you want it to be a color that the user chooses
As in the user will enter the color in regular text format
surreal sage
http://prntscr.com/q9b68e if the args is one of these names it gets their value
late hill
Yes
surreal sage
but in order to make the script short i use this http://prntscr.com/q9bvym
late hill
Yes
surreal sage
and hexes is a const of the json
late hill
You want to use hexes.whateverTheUserEntered
sudden geyser
CD, search up bracket notation
surreal sage
yes

but that doesn't work
So instead
use hexes[whateverTheUserEntered]
Which will work

i dont know man but that .box css rule seems to be the problem
do you have any mobile specific css rules
slim heart
absolutely none
valid frigate
ok then i'd probably guess that it's your .box css rule
on desktop it would look fine since it's a larger screen
slim heart
padding just does this
valid frigate
do you not want the gaps there?
slim heart
without it looks like this
slim heart
im talking about this
valid frigate
thats probably because you're using float
honestly dont quote me these are just guesses
based on my own experience with something similar
slim heart
without float does this
valid frigate

you should use the same concept on ur server list then

what is categories (or at least what you pass for permissions)

You should take a look at the available permission flags: https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Permissions?scrollTo=s-FLAGS
Not all of those are valid, like MANAGE_CHANNEL is actually MANAGE_CHANNELS (the S).

the tutorial used vultr, but i figured it would be essentially identical to digital ocean
rustic axle
server.dispatcher = connection.playStream(ytdl(server.q[song], {filter: 'audio', highWaterMark: 1*1000*10000 /* 10MB */, begin: begin}), {highWaterMark: 1, bitrate: 64000})```
I use the above to stream a song over a connection using the ytdl library. I used to have for my pause command `server.dispatcher.end()` where it would save the playing song and the playlist. For the resume command I was basically unloading the paused queue and played the song using the above. However, I decided to use `server.dispatcher.pause()` and `.resume()` respectively. I understand that these are meant to pause/resume dispatchers and their streams, however it seems like it is only being paused and not resumed. Can anyone provide some insight on this? (Node v12.10.0, DJS 11.5.1)And, yes, it is still connected and recognized by discord. Its just not resuming as can be seen here
And when I log server.dispatcher.paused it comes back with true

Here is the script (https://prnt.sc/q9xscj) who checks all the js files in my bot. How to edit it? (ex : I want him to check commands/fun/filename.js, commands/mod/filename.js...
2nd part of the script https://prnt.sc/q9xunv

read directories recursively
peak ivy
<Guild>.members.filter(x => x.user.bot).size
that's what happens when you copy paste things

vital lark
he's asking for bots
sudden geyser
@earnest phoenix, they mean to read the directory for each category, or do it recursively (if you plan on having more folders inside folders in the future). For example,
let commandCategories = fs.readdirSync("./commands/");
for (const category of commandCategories) {
let commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(...); // Use logic here to get categories, like how you do it for commands
}```like ```js
let commandFiles = fs.readdirSync("./commands/fun" || "./commands/mod")
no
earnest phoenix
🤦
mossy vine
vital lark
what your trying to do in that line of code is
earnest phoenix
oh
sudden geyser
you just need to loop over each category the same way you loop over the command directory to load each command
like ./commands/${category}/${stuff}
earnest phoenix
oh

Or you can just use https://www.npmjs.com/package/glob

modest maple
why you should always write the code yourself
surreal sage
how to do likee: if args include "a" make a -> b
so a becomes b and b becomes c
etc
like mors code

thats not morse code at all tf are you on

lol what

the fuck do you mean where
earnest phoenix
lmao
mossy vine
where you want it to shift

funnily enough I did that in C earlier

do some research

find some snippets and understand your code

what are the things i should know if i want to do a thing where you can add multiple channels and itll make a webhook for each of them. and then everyday it loops through them and sends something?
like is ratelimiting a thing in that cuz they'd all be different webhooks
earnest phoenix
all endpoints have ratelimits
all ratelimits are per token
https://prnt.sc/q9z1g0 why it wont work

The bot can have a nickname (<@!)

earnest phoenix
var str = '.hello'

str.startsWith(server.tag)

should be, lemme check
sudden geyser
Are you sure the error's from that snippet of code (or edited)
desert heron
d.py robo keeps randomly disconnecting from VC. no errors or anything - this is what the debug logs say in relation to it https://pastebin.com/3Fk9X1Gn
quartz kindle
4014 Disconnected Either the channel was deleted or you were kicked. Should not reconnect.
desert heron
it is a private server - the channel definitely was not deleted nor was anyone kicked
quartz kindle
welp, thats what your logs say
either you got the wrong log, or ask in the d.py server
quartz kindle
neither do i
fluid basin
well maybe it just means someone kicked it out of vc
or another bot did it though chances are unlikely
desert heron
i believe the 4th line might actually be from Lavalink and not the bot itself. regardless, it wasnt kicked from VC
desert heron
i see. any idea why they would do that? it isnt spamming voice or anything weird like that
and it is seemingly random. could happen after 5 minutes, could be 5 hours
modest maple
the bot got remotely disconnected, apparently from discord's websocket
what version of D.py r u on?
desert heron
1.2.5
the 4th line is seemingly from lavalink and not the bot itself - it will dispatch that event when it detects it has been disconnected from voice
modest maple
only thing it might be is a shard switch over?
fluid basin
and from that it does seem like voice ws
modest maple
if the server voice its on and the bot randomly gets disconnected and reconnected
like if you have high ping on a VC normally
it sometimes disconnects you
fluid basin
yeh thats possible
modest maple
but in bot's cases the API doesnt auto reconnect
fluid basin
or it was a user action
they did state on the docs that 4014 shouldnt reconnect
which means likely shouldnt be random
desert heron
modest maple
actually thinking about it now, recently alot of VC have been breaking and failing to be deleted / changed and discord's been going through alot and resetting them
desert heron
one thing that should be noted. i changed my websocket to use websockets rather than aiohttp since aiohttp would randomly dc from the lavalink server. with that said, the stuff involving connecting to a voice channel hasnt changed at all

If i use this: if (!bot.member.hasPermission("SEND_MESSAGES")) return; bot.member will not be the bot in that guild right?
earnest phoenix
Client#member isn't a thing, if your client is the discord client
docs are helpful
and Guild#me is your bot in that guild as a member object
vital lark
@earnest phoenix u know ur converting an array to a string right
earnest phoenix
yes
pseudo whale
K thanks
earnest phoenix
Yes but thank you
vital lark
i didn't read the Resolved part. my bad 
pseudo whale
So ive got if (!message.guild.me.hasPermission("SEND_MESSAGES")) return message.author.send("I cannot send messages in " + message.guild.name); in my message event before i run anything. But when i test it my bot just errors out and doesnt dm me
Any reason this is?
earnest phoenix
you didn't send any error so
dense patio
i started my bot using pm2 on digital ocean but it still isn't online, in the command line it says that index.js was started but the bot is offline
@green kestrel got anything?
pseudo whale
@earnest phoenix what do you mean?
green kestrel
Nope, try running it without pm2 and see what error appears
late hill
or check pm2 logs
dense patio
wait
dense patio
it says "cannot find module discord.js"
green kestrel
There's your answer :)
earnest phoenix
install discord.js
surreal sage
did you required the module in your script?
dense patio
i assumed it would've been downloaded since it was in the package.json i moved in
surreal sage
no

@pseudo whale what's the error you get.

https://youtu.be/hljkZxgogcY you have your answer I suggest you act on it

@sudden geyser Discord API Error: Missing Permissions
surreal sage
@earnest phoenix that doesnt work cuz its invalid
earnest phoenix
the error is self explanatory
sudden geyser
like if (event.d.message_id === 'ID' || event.d.message_id === "2ndID")
earnest phoenix
you either blocked your bot, or you disabled your dms
surreal sage
you have to duplicate
sudden geyser
The error's probably not coming from that snippet of code, Matievis
If the user blocked it, it'd be Cannot send message to this user
sudden geyser
You'll need to get the colum and line number to figure out exactly what line was causing it
pseudo whale
Urm wherr do i get that? It doesnt seem to show it in the error
sudden geyser

Matievis, can you share your message listener in a paste (e.g. hastebin)
dense patio
hey @green kestrel i'm getting no error messages but the index.js process instantly errors after i start it
late hill
did you install the missing packages
dense patio
i believe so
late hill
did you use npm install
late hill
There's no errors?
dense patio
nope
late hill
With pm2 or just regularly using node
green kestrel
How do you know it errors then
dense patio
i did pm2 list and it said errored
green kestrel
I really must look into pm2 for running native programs.
late hill
might wanna add --lines 100 or something because it's pretty small by default
late hill
Unrelated to your error but you really shouldn't have that check up there
If it wasn't commented out (and also not broken) it would dm anyone that sends a message in a channel where your bot can't send messages
That's horrible
green kestrel
Thanks :)
pseudo whale
It comment out my not working code until i get the thing to work
green kestrel
29mb is nothing
dense patio
yeah
green kestrel
Does the bot work when ran outside pm2
dense patio
but it's the only thing i can reason
late hill
Check the logs
sudden geyser
Missing Permissions can really be anything (from sending a message to setting a guild role). You may want to watch as your code executes to track down exactly what caused it to error (through debugging).
dense patio
yeah
late hill
pm2 logs 0 --lines 100
dense patio
it's been on glitch for a couple months
green kestrel
Do you have other deps like DBL updater
That run on a timer
And are those installed
dense patio
uh
earnest phoenix
pseudo whale
The only code being executed is the bot sending a message into the channel
green kestrel
I'm betting it errors out when hitting the require of such a dep
@earnest phoenix why does that penguin have boobs
dense patio
oh apparently sqlite isn't installed even though i just installed it just in case
green kestrel
Oh, kids cartoons 👍

Simply running npm install should install everything in your package.json
late hill
ctrl c
dense patio
ah thanks
green kestrel
@late hill I don't do npm or glitch, are these things all automatic on glitch which is why @dense patio is stuck now after moving it to proper hosting?
late hill
probably
green kestrel
Just trying to understand why someone can run a bot for months and not know about these things
green kestrel
Yeah, seemed like it should have been prerequisite knowledge

Just developed my first bot over the past week and im now waiting for approval. It should be pretty lit.
green kestrel
I fell into same trap with my bot yesterday forgetting to put -rdynamic onto the g++ command and wondering why modules wouldn't load
Proper captain obvious moment
dense patio
it just hit me with a bunch of warns saying "no such file or directory"
and an error sayin "This is related to npm not being able to find a file."
late hill
Maybe your working directory is set wrong
dense patio
how do i change it
green kestrel
I'm actually learning as much as @dense patio ATM as node isnt my bag so I'm learning how to support you all lol
late hill
use pwd to see the current working directory
late hill
and cd PATH to change it
dense patio
oh yeah i was in the right one
green kestrel
Hmmm
dense patio
why would it be renaming files
vital lark
green kestrel
I got something important to ask asap
green kestrel
Type whoami please @dense patio
late hill
dense patio
here?
green kestrel
@late hill that
prime cliff
Why don't you just test your own commands?
green kestrel
No, in your shell
late hill
not a bot command
topaz fjord
try npm cache clear
dense patio
OH
late hill
;d
dense patio
lol
green kestrel
Does it say root?
green kestrel
Ok....
Important advice
Make a new non root user
Set up your bot there
Running it as root is like running Windows XP as administrator
topaz fjord
tbh it doesn't really matter what account you set it up on
dense patio
yeah what would that change
green kestrel
It definitely does
prime cliff
That does not really effect much unless you had some kind of eval command
topaz fjord
^^
dense patio
what does it affect
green kestrel
Everything?
topaz fjord
nothing
late hill
ok boys
prime cliff
Nothing unless you have an eval command
late hill
you're familiar with windows right
topaz fjord
then root shouldn't exist
prime cliff
Noone can "hack" a Discord bot and even if they got your token it's a seperate session
late hill
That annoying run as administrator thing you need sometimes
topaz fjord
holy shit i hate this new discord markdown preview
dense patio
yeah
late hill
Gives you time to think before doing something stupid
topaz fjord
no
green kestrel
@prime cliff what if one of your deps has a security vulnerability, or node does
dense patio
yeah what about it
late hill
That's the same reason why you shouldn't be using root for regular things
Especially being new to linux
prime cliff
Still does not effect anything
topaz fjord
@dense patio try npm cache clear for your issue
late hill
You might mess up everything with 1 wrong command
prime cliff
They can't leverage that unless it's with an eval command
green kestrel
Never ever run any public service as root. Apache and ngix don't run as root, nor does any other Linux Daemon, you shouldn't make one that does
late hill
The bot would work fine
dense patio
ok so how do i change it so it's not on root
late hill
But it still isn't a good idea to run everything from root
prime cliff
green kestrel
add a user with adduser
topaz fjord
that's a waste of time but ok
dense patio
ok
topaz fjord
add -m if you want it to create a home dir
green kestrel
@topaz fjord really, I think this is a conversation for those who know what they're talking about
dense patio
green kestrel
Re the "this isn't needed"
dense patio
ok...
topaz fjord
implying I don't know what I'm talking about
green kestrel
Yes that's exactly what I implied
dense patio
@green kestrel what do i do from here
green kestrel
I'm not often blunt and offensive but telling a newbie root is fine, is really really bad advice
topaz fjord
telling a newbie it's fine when it is fine isn't bad advice
dense patio
@green kestrel don't worry about it, i'm listening to you
green kestrel
Ok so you'll need to ssh into the server, but use those new credentials
dense patio
i think i'm in already, no?
dense patio
ok
green kestrel
You can either do it all again or you can go back in as root and do something like:
dense patio
i moved all of the files to the new user
green kestrel
cp -r /root/bot /home/panicakr/bot; chown panicakr:panicakr /home/panicakr/bot
dense patio
well, it's currently transferring
green kestrel
You'll need to change its ownership as above
green kestrel
Or reupload will do the correct permission
Carry on where you left off
Your bot is now more secure than it was
👍
topaz fjord
very secure isn't it 
topaz fjord
TIL that adding a new user makes a piece of code secure
green kestrel
Well, a programming error can't accidentally wipe the whole server now or kill it. And you have the options to set /etc/security/limits.conf etc.
topaz fjord
it technically can
green kestrel
How?
topaz fjord
os.exec
green kestrel
How can a non root user wipe the server
green kestrel
And setting limits.conf will prevent fork bombs or memory consumption beyond a sane limit
But you can't do that running as root
modest maple
tbf brain i turned my school's server system OS into a webpage
