Yea

You can use something like this
const list = [
"this is one",
"this is two",
"this is three",
"this is four, and you can do more"
];
client.on('ready', () => {
setInterval(() => {
const index = Math.floor(Math.random() * (list.length - 1) + 1);
client.user.setActivity(list[index]);
}, 10000);
});

avoid spoonfeeding

earnest phoenix
instead instruct them on how to do it, but don't give them working code they can copy paste
elder vine
Well, sometimes you gotta learn code by reading code.
earnest phoenix
learn? they won't learn anything. they'll ctrl+c ctrl+v and forget about it
it's why spoonfeeding is so discouraged
you want to push the person to do some research for themselves and figure out how it works themselves

Hi guys i have a question. I am trying to optimize memory usage but i couldn't solve that. When i play a music and skip that in discord, ytdl continue to read stream from youtube. How can i solve this problem ?
gray pagoda
How am I able to see the bot's uptime?
in seconds, minutes and hours?
I have that, however, doesn't work
main laurel
in discord or console ?
you can define a async function and you can assign it to a variable every minute
with setTimeout() function
quartz kindle
@gray pagoda how are you calling that code?
and what does it return?
if thats all the code, then its not even returning anything
finite bough
didnt see u in a while tim
quartz kindle
long while
gray pagoda
@quartz kindle as a module
main laurel
var minute;
function sleep(){
return Promise(resolve =>{setTimeout(resolve,60000)});
}
client.on('ready',() =>{
while(true){
sleep().then(() =>{
minute += 1
});
}
});
tight plinth
quartz kindle
what the fuck
gray pagoda
wath?
main laurel
for uptime
main laurel
?
gray pagoda
My brain: Task failed successfuly
main laurel
i don't understand what is problem ?
quartz kindle
that code will make your process crash by infinite loop
main laurel
No there is promise function
gray pagoda
remember that I need the seconds then I do math from there to get the hour and all that, and process.uptime is a thing
quartz kindle
you are creating infinite promises
and not awaiting any of them
just delegating them
quartz kindle
also, you dont even need to count time
main laurel
yes its true
quartz kindle
the process already does it for you
gray pagoda
the problem is that it overwrites it when you put it in a loop
const up = require('./uptime');
let currTime = parseInt(Math.floor(process.uptime()));
let arrayReturn = [];
setInterval(function () {
arrayReturn = up.uptime.uptime(currTime, 'array');
}, 950);
setInterval(function () {
console.clear();
if (arrayReturn[0] > 59) {
arrayReturn[1] = arrayReturn[1] - 60;
}
if (arrayReturn[2] > 59) {
arrayReturn[2] = arrayReturn[2] - 60;
}
if (arrayReturn[3] > 59) {
arrayReturn[3] = arrayReturn[3] - 60;
}
if (arrayReturn[4] > 59) {
arrayReturn[4] = arrayReturn[4] - 60;
}
console.log(arrayReturn);
}, 875);
uptime has the function I sent on the ss, and returns it in an array
return [seconds, minutes, hours, days, months];
why are you running a 1 second interval
using the same uptime
i see you're trying to get the time to show in the console in real time, but why?
finite bough
^
quartz kindle
that will prevent you from using the console for other things like logging
amber fractal
he clears console every second
finite bough
thats even worse
gray pagoda
i see you're trying to get the time to show in the console in real time, but why?
@quartz kindle I want to do it because I want to have real time info, not just a static log
quartz kindle
by sacrificing your entire log capabilities?
finite bough
and not console
gray pagoda
you cant log when it's constantly cleared
@amber fractal you can, it's logging every second, then clears it
then log it again
gray pagoda
should I use async await?
quartz kindle
i mean, if you want real time info, just use a process manager
pm2 has a monitor mode
finite bough
^
finite bough
or use uptime robot
gray pagoda
wat
finite bough
it shows the uptime
main laurel
you can use my code with awaiting the sleep function π
gray pagoda
we are not talking about node project hosting
quartz kindle
lmao
amber fractal
you could use any other application that monitors other applications
like tim said
quartz kindle
@gray pagoda if you do it like you're trying to do, you will lose the ability to use console.log for other things. so please dont do that lol
amber fractal
pm2 has a monitoring mode
quartz kindle
if you absolutely want to do that way, you need to create an entire logging system to not lose your other logs, which is basically reinventing the wheel
finite bough
like a command handler uses other command files to execute commands
i am adding a logging system in my bot that logs, create channel, msg delete.. bla bla
is it a good idea to move that shit in some other file
gray pagoda
@gray pagoda if you do it like you're trying to do, you will lose the ability to use console.log for other things. so please dont do that lol
@quartz kindle Then I'll try to do it every 2 seconds
quartz kindle
personal preference i guess @finite bough
gray pagoda
I'd explain but idk how to, my brain made this complicated thing that I can't decrypt to english xD
I'll find a way to show life stats about he project and the bot
somehow
gray pagoda
no, I am just testing
finite bough
gray pagoda
no Discord.js imported
quartz kindle
but are you planning to put it inside the bot?
gray pagoda
yes
main laurel
My offer is still valid π
quartz kindle
then for example if you do console.log(command) or whatever, when your bot users use commands, the log will be deleted every second
how do you plan on dealing with that?
gray pagoda
it will loop, it will send an array with the last command use, and it will pass it to the console log and check if it exist, if it dosn't then not print i
very hard to explain
finite bough
commands are not the only thing which are logged
quartz kindle
how would you log errors?
finite bough
^
quartz kindle
how would you see past errors to fix them?
gray pagoda
comment the stats
let lastCommand = [];
setInterval(funtion(lastCommand, time){ console.log(...); }, 2000);
// bot.on :
case 'commad':
lastCommand.push('commad')
break;
my idea
quartz kindle
ok but then you need to do this for EVERYTHING, all errors, all logs, all possible situations. and also, this will make your process use a LOT of cpu
gray pagoda
ik
quartz kindle
and you need to regularly clear it
gray pagoda
yes
quartz kindle
to avoid making the list too long
quartz kindle
then good luck lol
gray pagoda
I just need the way to get the time
I can get the time but then It goes like seconds: 300
if I do if (seconds > 59){ seconds = seconds - 60 }
but then it sets it to 0
quartz kindle
you need to call process.uptime() from inside your uptime function
and not store it in a variable outside
else it wont get updated
and you dont need to use -60, you can use modulo
75 % 60 = 15
topaz fjord
modulo ftw
gray pagoda
I did it this way: parseInt(Math.floor(seconds/60), 10);
quartz kindle
you are doing a huge pile of unnecessary operations
the whole thing can be greatly simplified

your cron job is using the wrong version
cron runs process as a separate user

@sullen salmon
Crontab runs shell script as root by default, that means it's using the root user node.js instead of the node version which you are using to run the script
If you have root privilege, you can check root user node.js version by,
$sudo su
$node -v

@knotty steeple cache is the collection of stuff we already had in djs 11
for example, client.channels.cache replaces client.channels
client.channels is then used as a manager, where you can fetch a channel from discord and other stuff
agile orchid
i think he asked the get function of snekfetch or something like that, not d.js
knotty steeple
dont use snekfetch then

how many servers does your bot need to be in in order to be able to shard? or can it shard straight from 2?
oak cliff
technically you can shard whenever
finite bough
^
crimson vapor
you can shard at 1
finite bough
u can have 1 server and have multiple shards
crimson vapor
but there is no reason to
grizzled raven
ok good
if you shard at 2 servers with 2 shards, would you have 1 shard per server?
grizzled raven
how does it depend on the server id
quartz kindle
because of the formula that decides which server goes to which shard
grizzled raven
do you know the formula or you just know it exists?
zenith terrace
@quartz kindle if I ever need to shard in the future im coming to you, docs or no docs xD
quartz kindle
lmao
theres a bot thats on 270 servers with 10 shards
and one thats on 17 servers with 8 shards
grizzled raven
im at 1700 and i still havent sharded
zenith terrace
Ooof
grizzled raven
i need to finish this current update first thouuuugh
quartz kindle
i went past 2500 without sharding
quartz kindle
bad
quartz kindle
i had to start autoleaving guilds until i finished my update
zenith terrace
Oof
zenith terrace
Depends
grizzled raven
well it took me 3 months to go from 0 - 1700
quartz kindle
lmao
quartz kindle
if you're using discord.js v12 just use internal sharding
grizzled raven
well im at exactly 100 days (woohoo) and im at 1660
zenith terrace
80
grizzled raven
by internal you mean d.js' sharding manager, right?
quartz kindle
nope
quartz kindle
internal sharding = shard:"auto"
basically multiple ws connections under the same process
grizzled raven
so like
uh
oh wait
oh okay so just dont do anything and put shards: "auto" innthe client?
quartz kindle
grizzled raven
yeah thats what i meant
quartz kindle
yeah
quartz kindle
yup
grizzled raven
but would it work like the sharding manager, where you can broadcast eval and have to fetch stats?
quartz kindle
no, you dont have to
all guilds are cached in the same process
so they are all available
you can do client.guilds.cache.size and get 5000+
grizzled raven
is it like the two client's guilds in one collection, but then to discord they have two different sets of guilds?
if that made sense
quartz kindle
nope, its all in the same collection
the only difference is that each guild has a shardID property
grizzled raven
would doing that in d.js v11 be any different?
quartz kindle
v11 doesnt have that
topaz fjord
this isn't related to bots but would it be better to use a memory cache or disk cache
quartz kindle
memory cache as much as possible
grizzled raven
i hate when i become a whitename
quartz kindle
disk as minimum as possible
grizzled raven
one last question, would you say i'm better off rewriting to discord.js v12 and then sharding, or shard now, then rewrite after
quartz kindle
i did both at once
topaz fjord
even when the items in the cache are images?
quartz kindle
for images it depends
grizzled raven
you rewrote to djs v12, sharded, then rewrote again? 
tardy estuary
i think if you suspect your bot is going to get big, go ahead.
topaz fjord
isn't related to bots
grizzled raven
well okay i'd rewrite cause i need partials lol
topaz fjord
but like are display the images in a grid and they get resized before being displayed
quartz kindle
if its like a background image for use in canvas or whatever, and that is used many times, cache it in memory. if its only accessed here and there by very specific commands, put it on the disk
topaz fjord
Resizing them takes a while and the app is starting to lag when scrolling
so I was gonna cache the resized images and only resize if the cache version isn't available
quartz kindle
if its a browser/client side thing, its always better to put it in the memory
unless its a very heavy app that takes hundreds of mb
@grizzled raven i rewrote to v12 while thinking about sharding as well
but in the end i went for internal sharding
my biggest concern was caching tho, because discord.js sucks at it
so i spent months dealing with that
grizzled raven
were there any problems, that i would have to look out for when i do it or nah
quartz kindle
depends how you want to scale it
traditional discord.js bots require tons of ram, which i wasnt willing to pay for
grizzled raven
i'd switch to djs-light but then i would have needed to fetch the users of a reaction all the time
starboard bot lol
grizzled raven
because i've heard that count could be unreliable
never actually tested - i was going to - but tonkku said it wasnt correct
i'll see for myself though
quartz kindle
yes count can be unreliable, its better to count it yourself
ie: fetch the messge, fetch message reactions, store message id with count, update it with reactionadd/reactionremove
grizzled raven
but then if the message gets uncached
ok see i have it where people can star the starboard message too, kinda like luca i guess
so then if the message gets uncached and starboard message gets another star, i'd fetch the reaction of the original message
quartz kindle
after you store a message once in your database, you dont need to fetch it again, except on bot start to confirm its initial number of reactions
i mean, thats probably how i would do it
grizzled raven
ok the real reason i do it anyway is because i dont have partials yet
but
if someone reacts on a message that's not in channel.messages but the message is still in a seperate collection, does the reaction count change?
quartz kindle
the message shouldnt be in a separate collection
grizzled raven
in my own collection
quartz kindle
hmm good question, if the message gets stored as a reference, it will update
objects are usually linked as references by default
quartz kindle
but you dont need to store the entire message object in your collection
you can store only the data you need
grizzled raven
then would it not be a reference then?
the message isnt in any database (yet), so wouldnt i be better off storing the whole object?
or nah
quartz kindle
i would only store ids
grizzled raven
so you think i should fetch the message whenever i wanna get its properties?
i think im going to stick with storing the message as a whole, so i wouldnt confuse myself or ruin any caching but i wanna see your take on it
quartz kindle
what properties would you need and when?
grizzled raven
for the embeds i would create about with that message
quartz kindle
but you only need it after X stars no?
knotty steeple
how can i get where an error originated from without the stack
aka
im trying to catch an error
grizzled raven
users can make it go to the starboard at whatever count they want
knotty steeple
and i want to know where its from without printing the whole stack and just the 1 file it actually came from and the line number
grizzled raven
so from 1-30
quartz kindle
i would still do it that way
on reaction add -> if reaction === star -> add count to message id in database, if no message id create message id in database
if message id count > threshold -> fetch message and repost on startboard
grizzled raven
hm
quartz kindle
@knotty steeple you kinda do need the stack for that
knotty steeple
thonkdead
grizzled raven
i always check stuff with the message object though, i could make a little object containing what i need
grizzled raven
is there any loss with caching the whole message?
quartz kindle
@knotty steeple you can catch the error, and process the stack yourself
knotty steeple
thats pain
quartz kindle
// promise example
promise.catch(e => {
if(e.stack) {
let text = e.stack.toString().split("\n");
console.log(text[0])
}
})```something like that
knotty steeple
oh ok cool
grizzled raven
wouldnt that be the message?
quartz kindle
@grizzled raven its basically just how much ram you wanna waste with it
grizzled raven
error.stack, isnt that like ```js
Error: you suck lol
at Client.emit.message("whatever")
so then wouldnt [0] be referenceerror: bla is not defined?
well either way, it doesnt matter to me i guess
quartz kindle
yup it would
grizzled raven
im getting off track xd
i might just stick with what i'm doing and if i get big or need more ram i could try that
quartz kindle
sure
small prairie
any way to check who banned someone WHO
d.js 11.5
Also on guild ban
How can i log who banned and everything
quartz kindle
you need to fetch the audit log
small prairie
On guild ban event
i fetch audit and check the latest entry
is that okay?
i mean the latest ban entry ofc
@quartz kindle
quartz kindle
something like that yeah
flat pelican
Uhhh
Not really a good idea to only check the last entry
On massive actions, if your bot is a bit delayed, it may fail
Or if Discordβs API drunk as usual
I usually take at least the last 3 entries
Or 2
grizzled raven
never seen eri speak here
quartz kindle
just check latest ban entry where target ban matches user that was banned, if that even exists
i've never used the audit log api lol
grizzled raven
is having one collection with 2 million entries better than 20 collections with 100k entries?
because when numbers get high i sometimes wonder
quartz kindle
they should be offloaded to a database way before they reach that high
grizzled raven
i mean say with guilds or users
quartz kindle
just stick with whats consistent
dont split the guilds collection into 20 collections for no reason
quartz kindle
its a valid question, i know what you mean
but afaik there is little to no difference
grizzled raven
okay
quartz kindle
having more collections will have more overhead, but its negligible
unless
you need to loop/find/scan over them
grizzled raven
unless
quartz kindle
then its better if they are split into something that can be targeted/indexed
grizzled raven
okay
if you have an array with length 2 and you fetch the first entry - [0] - would it be the same as having an array with length 400 and fetching the 49th entry - [48]
or length 430k and feching the 70,099th entry
basically, does it matter how big an array is when you fetch an entry

@earnest phoenix easyDB is an ephemeral database provider. That means that after some time, your database will be removed. By default, databases will stick around for 24 hours. If you make an account with us, the database will last for 72 hours. If you really want to keep it longer, you can upgrade your database to a persistent database for $5/month.
basically it'll get deleted

Honestly if you have no clue what you're doing just use something as simple as keyv which requires like 2 lines to get started, persistent and local
sick cloud
why another server
split hazel
Then your option is to either pay, or use a local database
earnest phoenix
My house has a server on fiberoptic that got like 50tb
sick cloud
good job
split hazel
That's great
sick cloud
host your db on the same server as your bot/etc
quicker speed and no security concerns
summer torrent
Which db are you using
sick cloud
rethinkdb myself
split hazel
I have a database with >200,000 total entries and it uses about 20-30mb storage
earnest phoenix
It has like a kb of data per day per user
split hazel
Not much at all
earnest phoenix
π
sick cloud
dbs are really efficient and use little data
earnest phoenix
rn it's just writing to local jsons which is what I'm tryna fix rn because JSON databases are bad
so a DB would bring down the size?
sick cloud
yeah
split hazel
π
earnest phoenix
Ok
split hazel
And wont corrupt as easily
split hazel
That's great, still poses a threat
split hazel
Low risk or no risk i'd go for no
earnest phoenix
I heard they only corrupt if u write to them at the same time
so I just havent
but yeah, I want a DB anyway
the JSON "database" is getting huge
lol
split hazel
Not forgetting to mention it's also extremely inefficient
Since you're constantly reading and writing to disk
With FS
knotty steeple
YES
I HAVE WIFI BACK
EEEEEEEE
ok so
how would someone go by making command handler using classes as the command
does that make sense
grizzled raven
yes
but actually
no
but im smart so yes π
basically you do the exact same thing as a normal command handler
except you do ```js
new (require("./pathtofilelol/destroybotcommand.js"))(args)
yes
except im putting all the stuff in the constructor
is that also ok or how ur supposed to actually do it
grizzled raven
however you want
earnest phoenix
Does anyone know how to make console.log output to the console when using pm2 to host?
knotty steeple
the same thing?
grizzled raven
you can pass everything into the super constructor of the actual command class
knotty steeple
yea how about in the actual class
cuz run being a function is ok but what about my aliases and stuff
grizzled raven
const Command = require("../Command.js") // Command base class
class Ping extends Command {
constructor(client) {
super(client, {
name: "ping",
aliases: ["pong", "p"]
})
}
}
something like that
then
crimson vapor
that is how I do it
crimson vapor
class pingCommand extends Terano.Command {
constructor() {
super({
name: "ping",
memberName: "Ping",
description: "Find out my ping",
usage: "ping",
silent: true,
cooldown: 0
});
}
}```but then whats command base
crimson vapor
I also have an
async run (message, args, data) {
//stuff
}```command base is annoying
grizzled raven
class Command {
constructor(client, data) {
this.client = client
this.name = data.name
this.aliases = data.aliases
}
}
oh yea makes sense
crimson vapor
does passing client make any sense? because it would be client from start
grizzled raven
depends on what you want
earnest phoenix
Does anyone know how to make console.log output to the console when using pm2 to host as a daemonized process?
grizzled raven
in my first codeblock i passed client so then the super could define this.client
earnest phoenix
when I do node index.js if I have more than 4 apps infront of my command window it doesnt accept commands
crimson vapor
I dont because client.user could change and message.client is already defined
so no reason to waste
grizzled raven
pm2 has its own logs, do pm2 logs [id] to see them
knotty steeple
^
grizzled raven
np
and im pretty sure if client.user changes the command will change aswell as its a reference to the original object?
idk ask tim
crimson vapor
Tim would know
or
we can try it
this is gonna break like all of my commands for a few mins
grizzled raven
crimson vapor
I dont understand
grizzled raven
i think its because the object is only stored in one place in ram, and to get the object anywhere, it would reference that one place in the ram
grizzled raven
bad

(node:11051) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: DiscordAPIError: Cannot send an empty message```Can someone help? I'm getting this for the code:
```js

message.channel.send(NL3Embed);
} else if (message.author.id === config.ownerID) {
const user = client.users.fetch(args[0])
message.channel.send(user.username);
}
}
I've already defined NL3Embed, don't worry about taht
hollow granite
It could be that it is not finding the user you are trying to find, maybe try this to verify the user exists before sending their username
if(user) message.channel.send(user.username);
then maybe it is something to do with NL3Embed
high bough
NL3Embed is completely fine, the other ones that uses the same embed works just fine.
Besides, it's not calling NL3Embed at all since the condition```js
if (message.author.id === config.ownerID)
hmm, im not sure
Oh i think I got it. You need to wait until you get the user until you can send it, so you should add await to it
const user = await client.users.fetch(args[0])
message.channel.send(user.username);
Okay, thanks
high bough
I have no idea
Though, this would probably work
channel.fetchMessage(lastmsg).then(msg => msg.delete());
sorry, i mean js channel.message.fetch(lastmsg).then(msg => msg.delete());
@neat gazelle
neat gazelle
do i need to do message.channel since its in the event of a message?
warm marsh
<Channel>.messages.fetch("id").then(delete code here)
There is an easier way.
<Channel>.messages.delete(resolved message object)
neat gazelle
let userID = message.channel.topic.split(" ");
let userFetch = message.client.users.cache.get(userID[0]);
let messageFetch = channel.messages.fetch(userID[1]);
let messagePop = messageFetch.split(" ").pop();
messageFetch.edit(messagePop);

help me out here. lol
userID[1] is the message id
warm marsh
You're going to have to give some context as looking at the code I kinda want to smash my head. βοΈ
You use the topic to store id?
hollow granite
maybe add await?
let messageFetch = await message.channel.messages.fetch(userID[1]);
neat gazelle
basically trying to fetch the message by its id then edit the message with the same one without the last word
warm marsh
After reading the docs fetch on messages might be the wrong thing to use.
earnest phoenix
what the fuck
if you want to persistently store data
use a database
it's what they are for
neat gazelle
?
hollow granite
does it know what channel is defined as on line 3?
bc you might have to do message.channel.messages.fetch(userID[1]);
neat gazelle
let userID = message.channel.topic.split(" ");
let userFetch = message.client.users.cache.get(userID[0]);
let messageFetch = channel.messages.fetch(userID[1]);
let messagePop = messageFetch.split(" ").pop();
messageFetch.edit(messagePop);
TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of null
still the same
warm marsh
What are you trying to split?
The content?
messageFetch.content.split
It fetches a message and returns a message object
neat gazelle
the content of the message so i can pop the last value
hollow granite
does it say if the error is on line 1 or 4
warm marsh
Try the messageFetch.content.split
As pretty sure it's that and if it's not that would be an error later.
neat gazelle
line 1
warm marsh
Use the console instead.
It's more useful as it's right with you.

See what you get

its not in a async funtion tho

how lol
neat gazelle
use async
warm marsh
Add async before the function keyword.
hollow granite
async function myFunction() {//code}
warm marsh
Or if you use a lambda async () =>
But first, might be good learning basic js. As it will help a lot.
Or re-learn.
JS arrow function not lambda

}
myFunction();
node_modules\discord.js\src\rest\RequestHandler.js:170:25```@warm marsh @hollow granite
warm marsh
The error is self explanatory
Fetch takes fetch query options
Read the docs for understanding
neat gazelle
d.js docs?
neat gazelle
but it is correct. so hold on my bad. the message that its fetching by its id is actually in a different channel. is that the problem here?
@warm marsh
warm marsh
Yes
If channel doesn't equal the channel that you're fetching the message from
The variable channel
Not the channel you're getting the id from
neat gazelle
do i need to make a new variable getting the channel that the message is in then doing variable.messages.fetch??
warm marsh
No
neat gazelle
on line 4
warm marsh
Just make sure channel is equal to a resolved channel
The channel being the one with the message in
neat gazelle
but its always going to be in 2 different channels.
warm marsh
Then resolve it by using fetch
const chan = message.guild.channels.fetch(chanid)
chan being the channel variable
neat gazelle
so then do
let messageFetch = await chan.messages.fetch(userID[1]);
Yes
neat gazelle
aight one sec

Hi i am using latest ytdl-core version and i am trying to optimize my code for memory usage . I want to clean buffer of the stream data. How can i do that ?
i am using node.js
quartz kindle
if you are storing a buffer in a variable/array/object, you can simply rewrite the value to null
if you're using streams directly, make sure they are not stored in any persistent variable after they end
anything that is not stored or referenced in a persistent variable outside of the scope, will be garbage collected automatically

Is it valid in Ytdl or only in my code?
