someone dm advertised me and they have my bot in there server
and i wanna like
have the bot leave the server its self
magic jackal
Hmm, what lib? @astral yoke
quartz kindle
in discord.js its simply guild.leave()
magic jackal
But thats it there
magic jackal
You can pass an ID into the leave()
astral yoke
like a serverid?
quartz kindle
you will need to specify which guild you want to leave
viral mortar
discordis missing so you'll need to push that to the heroku server too
@magic jackal how do i do this, do i put it into the requirements.txt
magic jackal
@viral mortar Same way you did with everything else dependency wise
just with discord now
it needs to be in your requirements so you can install the requirements on the heroku server
So if its required, make sure its in there.
viral mortar
ok
magic jackal
Should work out smoothly
@earnest phoenix We have no idea what you're talking about. I need more context :^)
quartz kindle
you mean a simple math command?
all programming languages have built in math operators
it should be as simple as variable + anothervariable
magic jackal
ye
quartz kindle
you may need to convert them to numbers first
because discord gives you text by default
mystic violet
@quartz kindle Im sending that too a lavalink type server
quartz kindle
if you do 5 + 5 as text, the result will be 55
mystic violet
its deprecated (but still works) im trying to make it work like a lib called discord.js-andesite
basically extending shoukaku
quartz kindle
you can convert text to number by using Number, for example Number("5")
@mystic violet i've seen that error happen when the server crashes
or the payload causes the server to crash for some reason
mystic violet
weird
magic jackal
@quartz kindle btw for returning a true user count for everything on the client, isn't it client.users.cache.size or is it something different, caching is being weird rn
quartz kindle
a true user count can only be obtained by reducing guild.memberCount
magic jackal
well i would like everything, all across all guilds
quartz kindle
users.cache = cached users only
yes, you need to use a reduce function on guild.memberCount
viral mortar
@magic jackal omg thank you so much it works! : D
@viral mortar
quartz kindle
client.guilds.cache.reduce((total,guild) => total + guild.memberCount, 0)
earnest phoenix
how are you reading the file? with fs.readFile?
@quartz kindle yes
quartz kindle
read it with require instead
earnest phoenix
?
quartz kindle
let myfile = require("./myfile.json")
quartz kindle
fs.readFile reads a file from disk1
require reads a file from disk and stores a copy of it in the require cache
earnest phoenix
wait
quartz kindle
so the next time you require the same file, it reads the copy of it in the cache, instead of reading it from disk again
earnest phoenix
but can you read it with only let myfile = require("./myfile.json")
@quartz kindle
im confused
magic jackal
you can read files into your app with require
require will pull the whole contents into a variable
earnest phoenix
oh
magic jackal
whoops
quartz kindle
.cache.reduce (my bad)

discord.js eats ram for breakfast
unless you put a leash on it and hit it with a whip :^)

300Mb of ram wtf

quite normal if presences are enabled and you're using a non-modified discord.js and no cache sweeping

Hey is there any way to compare the position of 2 users ? (In js) like know their both highest role and know who is higher than the other ? (Pls Ping me I don’t read every messages 😉 )
earnest phoenix
you asked the question, check up on the channel for the answers lol
grab the highest role of both users and compare their position
hasty lotus
Yep but how ?
earnest phoenix
i think you can use the sort method, order by descending order and grab the first value in that
account for that a user might not have any roles
hasty lotus
But isn’t there any property for this ?
earnest phoenix
in which lib
earnest phoenix
no and you don't need it
cause you can do it yourself
lol
also you might want to consider updating to v13
v12
discord is soon going to force stateless design with intents, d.js v11 doesn't support intents
hasty lotus
Hey got it
message.member.highestRole.comparePositionTo(message.mentions.members.first().highestRole
)
Tu stackoverflow x))
Ty*
I’ll try
earnest phoenix
why did i even expect of you to even attempt to approach the problem yourself lol
hasty lotus
x)))
amber fractal
one day you will learn that figuring the problem out for yourself is much more beneficial than "how do one compare roles d.js!@!?"
earnest phoenix
hasty lotus
Just I’m quite new with djs
And instead of loosing long hours to learn it by heart I ask if someone knows
😉
It’s my way to learn maybe not yours, but it’s mine
earnest phoenix
you are not learning though
that isn't learning
you're teaching yourself a bad behaviour pattern
hasty lotus
For me it is
Well this is working great for me
Why are you saying that it’s not If i tell you it is ?
earnest phoenix
one could say that independent problem solving correlates to intelligence but lets not go there
hasty lotus
I’m developer since 2 years now and I know how I work
earnest phoenix
im way too tired to deal with a help vampire
hasty lotus
If for me this works don’t say it doesn’t
You’re not with me so you can’t really know
That’s why the only information you have is what I say
And because it’s the only one you have you should trust it 😉
sudden geyser
If that's your way of learning then okay but it'll be more useful down the road if you learn through browsing documentation and trying it out to problem solve
hasty lotus
it helps no one, not even yourself
@amber fractal how can you say that without even knowing me ?
You don’t know who I am
amber fractal
Because google isn't an end all solution
One day Stackoverflow wont have your answer
hasty lotus
You don’t know my name you don’t know my age you don’t know my profession you don’t know my formations
amber fractal
and you'll be fucked because you don't know what you're doing
hasty lotus
Yeah maybe and this day I’ll figure out
Thank you for caring so much about me
But your way of dozing it is useless
wintry sonnet
.setDescription(`🏓\`${Date.now() - message.createdTimestamp}\`ms`);
message.channel.send(ping);```
Is the ping in this command the API? If not, what is it?Nah
hasty lotus
This will just show you the time at which the message has been created
wintry sonnet
Ok
hasty lotus
If you wanna get the api use client.ping 😉
amber fractal
well no
not in v12
which is why you use the docs to see what you're doing.
v11 and v12 are different
hasty lotus
I know how to read the docs thank you
Really thank you for having so much care to me
magic jackal
client.ws.ping
amber fractal
You also know how to search stackoverflow, doesn't make you a good dev
earnest phoenix
comparing message timestamps isn't really accurate, if you want completely accurate REST ping, Date.now before sending message, Date.now after and subtract the two, even better if you can use a stopwatch
hasty lotus
But it’s useless
magic jackal
There isnt a need for that comment bro, we are all here to help
hasty lotus
@amber fractal okey please stop this discussion before it starts to be violent
magic jackal
Cry is right
Log a timestamp before and after the promise resolves
It should give you a reading of the actual total execution time
hasty lotus
But this won’t be the latency
This will be the speed at which the server runs the command
magic jackal
It will be the entire request until the promise resolves
magic jackal
This includes server and REST time
If you need WS time Discord JS includes that under client.ws.ping
hasty lotus
It will be the entire request until the promise resolves
@magic jackal no bcs the first date will be at the beginning of the command so after receiving the message and the last one will be before sending the edit
earnest phoenix
magic jackal
???
Thats the entire point of the request, youre handing the command through the API
im lost, youve confused me
earnest phoenix
a snowflake is generated before the rest of the entity, it's why you measure time before sending up until the entity is returned from the request
cerulean hornet
does anyone know why my bot only shows 18k of users and the server has 103k?
earnest phoenix
not all members are cached
magic jackal
@cerulean hornet client.guilds.cache.reduce((total,guild) => total + guild.memberCount, 0)
Use this for a total count
This will show you totals, by indexing through each key
cerulean hornet
which one is right? I count the total members using this ai command or rely on this command "message.guild.memberCount"
lyric mountain
The latter will get you a count of cached members
While the former will give u the real count
cerulean hornet
what is a count me cached members?
lyric mountain
Like, let's say your server has 50 members and the djs cache limit is 30
The latter will return you 30 as the total count of members
The former will return you 50
Note that not using cache can significantly increase memory usage for a short period of time if the amount of users is too big
earnest phoenix
how i get the avatar of the mentioned?12v
cerulean hornet
then it pays to use the other code?
astral yoke
i know ops is undefined here but how would i define it how come this errors with

Wouldn't you just be better using a query and display the error if screen size is too small?
As it will allow browsers that use small windows

@tired nimbus if the code is public, a reverse engineer of your code will unravel any obfuscated string

not code just text

Just encrypt it with some SHA key them

Hi, we're trying to make a bot display what we say in a different channel according to the channel's name, rather than the id.
THe reason for this is because we're trying to make it cross-server compatible, so as long as the other server has the channel by the name #something then it will display the thing, given the command in a separate server
Discord.py not ,js lol
open oracle
@pale vessel i did this:
client.on('message', message => {
if(message.author.bot) return;
if (message.content.toLowerCase() === 'jsbot2')

const embed = new Discord.RichEmbed();
embed.setAuthor(client.user.username, client.user.displayAvatarURL());
message.channel.send({embed});
}

Hmm is 214.93mb ram use on 2016 guilds and 300k users reasonable ram use? How much ram are everyone's bots using here, just looking to get a quick survey going see if I can figure out the average ram used per user or per guild
radiant estuary
How can i delete a specific element from a array in Javascript?
cinder patio
white anvil
@green kestrel depends heavily on library and how much caching you do
radiant estuary
thx
green kestrel
aegis.cpp, Jacher
green kestrel
have "fun" with that! lol
earnest phoenix
that is a death sentance
white anvil
although if i needed to write stuff in cpp for my bot i'd just make an api for it
green kestrel
doing this again, not sure i'd use C++, its really good performance but time to compile and test is an ass
green kestrel
websockets are abstracted away by aegis in my case cry
aegis is a really nice library
it uses websocketpp and asio under the hood
white anvil
if you compare this to djs
you can get 200mb ram easily with djs in like 20 guilds
different languages i know but for caching everything 2k guilds and 200mb ram is pretty impressive
earnest phoenix
200mb for 2k guilds with cached everything is really good
green kestrel
yeah its hard to get a good reading on how much adding guilds is affecting ram in my case too, it always seems to waver around 150-200mb, regardless of how many guilds, it was 180mb ram last november when i only had like 200 guilds lol
white anvil
i cache basically nothing and hover at 40mb rss
earnest phoenix
my bot used to sit at around 210 with 2k guilds and every member cached
though with intents and discord forcing stateless design there won't really be a need for caching
green kestrel
white anvil
my cpu hates me but the minimal caching is actually rlly nice to work with
green kestrel
i also cant figure out why there was a huge spike in ram use a couple of months ago
i suppose the drop around late april coincides with moving to using intents
white anvil
theres no problems with managing possibility that entity is not cached
green kestrel
it might be websocket buffers to handle all the presence messages or something shrug
white anvil
presence update alone was making me exceed my bandwidth limit
green kestrel
yeah, look at my bandwidth graph now lol
those two spikes are a restart and synching members
apart from that, barely goes above 5k/sec any more
white anvil
i couldnt even tell you what those spikes are lol
but intents have got me down to about 400kbps also
i imagtine the majority of that isnt actually from the bot though
i only track messages, reactions, and guild updates
earnest phoenix
Anyone knows if you can actually code a command, but disable it.
Without if statements ^^
Python btw
cinder patio
depends on your command handler I guess
white anvil
if you have a property on your client with all your commands just remove it from there
if you dont then you cant easily
earnest phoenix
Alright
cinder patio
I have a bot written in D.JS that's in around 180 servers and uses 75MB of RAM max, and it doesn't cache anything

if you dont cache anything then server count makes no difference
or extremely little difference

thisIsAnArray = [1,2,3,4,5];
thisIsAnObject = {1:10,2:20,3:30}
thisisAnArray.includes(3) // true
thisisAnArray.includes(7) // false
thisIsAnObject[3] // 30
thisIsAnObject[7] // undefined
😉
quartz kindle
because 30 is a "truthy" value, you can do if(thisIsAnObject[3]) {}
earnest phoenix
so file[guild.id]
quartz kindle
yes
earnest phoenix
idk im stupid sometimes sorry
same problem as yesterday @quartz kindle
which is that it doesn't refresh the json file
warm marsh
JSON for you.
earnest phoenix
?
quartz kindle
are you using glitch?
zenith terrace
if you are using glitch then you most likely need to refresh your glitch project or go out of glitch then go back in
then the JSON file should update
earnest phoenix
im not
cinder patio
how are you updating it
quartz kindle
then you will need to show more code
neat ingot
them some sexy graphs i see @green kestrel @white anvil ❤️
quartz kindle
any recommendation for a good monitoring system that supports per-process metrics?
neat ingot
netdata does that i beleive
the amount of metrics it gives is actually astonishing
graphs for days
earnest phoenix
how are you updating it
@cinder patio im not, because idont know how to do that
cinder patio
then what do you mean by "refreshing"?
quartz kindle
@neat ingot i believe i've used netdata, but i couldnt figure out how to get a per-process list
its all about the entire system
i dont use containers, so i need it to be per-process
quartz kindle
nope
i wanted for example, a specific node.js's process cpu/ram/network/bandwith graphs
or at least monitor a process by pid
neat ingot
ahh, i get that from using containers, idk how well it'd work outside of containers though
earnest phoenix
neat ingot
but it does seem to support giving metrics for all the things running on my host machine
quartz kindle
you will need to show more code wolfy
quartz kindle
@neat ingot i ended up uninstalling it lol
neat ingot
lmao
quartz kindle
it was a while ago
neat ingot
i like it cause its a single container. the other way i was trying was using cadvisot/grafina/prometheus, and needed containers for db and all kinda junk
grizzled raven
neat ingot
it woulda been 7 containers just for metrics 😐
cadvisor *
those graphs above are from netdata noob 🙂
the user with the chinese-CF8 name put me onto it 🙂
quartz kindle
you need to customize apps.plugin and apps_goups.conf to make it work per process
but i couldnt get it to work
quartz kindle
its a software you can install via command line on linux
it opens a webserver on some port
and you access the graphs from your browser
neat ingot
can also super easily define password and such for login to view the metrics
neat ingot
i have mine running at dekitarpg.com/netdata, but its all secure and junk 🙂
earnest phoenix
nvm
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix that doesnt help
quartz kindle
you didnt make the change i told you to do
earnest phoenix
ye i did that as wel
quartz kindle
use require instead of fs
earnest phoenix
changed it back because i had the same problem
neat ingot
tbh tim i'd give netdata another bash. for everything it offers in the one package its worth an hour or two of setting up imo 🙂
neat ingot
super easy to setup like, alerts and junk for when things go offline or w.e
quartz kindle
i was kinda worried it would increase resource usage
since my instance is only 1 core 1gb
neat ingot
yea i mean, it keeps running and junk, but it seems to be really efficient unless its lying to me about its usage 😄
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix yes, but everywhere
earnest phoenix
ah
quartz kindle
change all your JSON.parse(readFileSync to that
quartz kindle
thats why you have to change it everywhere
@neat ingot i'll give it another try sometime
neat ingot
it also allows for fairly easy creation of custom graphs and w.e using simple html 🙂
quartz kindle
im just periodically checking my bots using process.memoryUsage() in node lol
neat ingot
lmao
quartz kindle
i made a handy clientInfo method for that
earnest phoenix
await writeFile(filePath, JSON.stringify(data))
with
data[msg.guild.id] = { name: msg.guild.id }; & const filePath = join(__dirname, '..', '/data.json') right?
neat ingot
do you programatically save the data to a file to view later? or only when you do it manually?
like, does it check every like 5 minutes or w.e and save the data toa file so you can check previous usage and see spikes and the like
quartz kindle
im not really controlling usage history
just checking current usage and comparing it to what i remember last time i checked lmao
neat ingot
lmao
neat ingot
24 ping o0
quartz kindle
ws ping
neat ingot
which host provider do you use tim?
neat ingot
i was using digital ocean, moving everything to contabo cause its cheap afffffzzzzz
quartz kindle
earnest phoenix
so the reason it worked was because it is copied in the cache right
instead of only disk1
neat ingot
thats about my average when bots running on current server/my local machine (in uk)
i got my new server in new york though as i hear discord latency is good from there 😄
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix yes, essentially you have 2 copies, one in the cache and one in the disk. the disk is only a backup that is used when your bot restarts. the cache copy is where you should do everything with
so everything you do, you use the cache version and then save a copy to the file backup
quartz kindle
yes
quartz kindle
the reason for doing this, is that the cache is much faster than the disk
earnest phoenix
and saved
quartz kindle
if you did everything using only the disk copy, it would be very slow
neat ingot
this is for json files with config or something?
earnest phoenix
writing to a file
quartz kindle
storing guild data in json
quartz kindle
another thing
if your bot crashes during saving to file
your json file will get corrupted and you will lose all data in it
earnest phoenix
that would be a gg
quartz kindle
a good way to prevent this, is to save the file in 2 steps: save to a temporary file with a different name, then rename the temporary file to the original file
neat ingot
tbh i need to add that into my json data storage module thing
earnest phoenix
but why would it crash though?
neat ingot
it only records how many times i reboot my bot tho so it wouldnt be catastrophic if it rekt the file
earnest phoenix
but why would it crash though?
the same reason why windows crashes
any reason
oke
👍
quartz kindle
crashes can happen at any time, because of coding mistakes, not handling errors properly, or in extreme cases, power failures and hardware failures in the machine
quartz kindle
if the crash happens exactly while writeFIle is writing to the file, the file will become corrupted
earnest phoenix
ah
quartz kindle
it takes a bit of bad luck, but can happen
neat ingot
when my bot went live, i discovered that people somehow find imaginative ways to break your bot that you would never have thought of.
quartz kindle
yes
earnest phoenix
ok ill have to look into that then
thanks
when my bot went live, i discovered that people somehow find imaginative ways to break your bot that you would never have thought of.
this
always write your code so that it's fool proof
neat ingot
impossible.
quartz kindle
fool-proof is not enough, it needs to be animal-proof
your users are brainless animals
winter basalt
ok
quartz kindle
lmao
winter basalt
¯_(ツ)_/¯
earnest phoenix
but you should always have a mindset of "someone's going to do their best to break my app"
neat ingot
and retard-resistant.
tbh, yes.
i've had people join my support server specifically for that reason 😄
winter basalt
"hmm, what are some ways a retard could think of to break my app"
earnest phoenix
microsoft please take that advice and fix your shitty os
quartz kindle
for example, typing a command with a 2000 char arg
quartz kindle
check the node.js's fs documentation
neat ingot
earnest phoenix
(node:2752) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: RangeError [EMBED_FIELD_VALUE]: MessageEmbed field values may not be empty.
nothin happened ❤️
quartz kindle
xD
earnest phoenix
.addField('Antes', oldMessage.content, false)```my bot used to generate 8000x8000 images from user input, and people can add objects to the image using args and options
and people would sometimes use all 2000 chars adding random stuff to the image
and it would crash the bot occasionally
earnest phoenix
help?
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix the error says it all
one of your embed fields is empty, which means, oldMessage.content doesnt exist
quartz kindle
lmao
neat ingot
it sent fine as well 😄
mossy vine
why is the id so long tho
earnest phoenix
i cant find it

duckduckgo lol
quartz kindle
yeah
neat ingot
never been keen on that engine
quartz kindle
it sucks
neat ingot
lol
neat ingot
its certainly not as user friendly as google, but i guess it has other benefits
quartz kindle
they even include a !g command for that reason lmao
if you search node fs !g it redirects you to google's search results lmao
neat ingot
oh thats neat 😄
i guess they kinda had to do something though or users woulda stopped using when they can never find anything 😄
quartz kindle
yeah lmao
people only use ddg for privacy reasons
i decided to give it a try
im also using brave browser, decided to give it a try as well
neat ingot
side question: anyone got any ideas for commands i can add to my discord minigame bot? this is the list it has atm 🙂
quartz kindle
but it has the same issues chrome has
neat ingot
ive never tried brave
i heard firefox is doing some premium browser thing as well now
quartz kindle
my issue is that i never close the browser, and i never shutdown/restart my pc
i often go months without a single restart or pc or browser
cinder patio
@neat ingot google feud
neat ingot
👀
quartz kindle
and after a while the browser starts lagging like crazy
neat ingot
your poor pc
quartz kindle
and im forced to close it and reopen it
neat ingot
feud is a game?
cinder patio
neat ingot
i have no idea what this is meant to be lol
earnest phoenix
do i need to do that for example every hour
quartz kindle
if you want to do periodical backups, yes, but one hour would be too much
make it one day or something
quartz kindle
but if you use the rename technique you should be 99% safe
except for system crashes
earnest phoenix
so
cinder patio
You have to guess the most searched queries that start with something
for example "is it wrong to be ____"
quartz kindle
gay
earnest phoenix
I have the main json file - and the backup json file.
it deletes the backup file every 24h, and makes a copy of the main file and calls that backup?
you don't have to
you can scrape ddg
neat ingot
not since they tried to charge me a fortune for map api
earnest phoenix
you can also do guess the wikihow article
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix thats a way to do backups yes, but the renaming technique is like this:
- save file to "myfile.temp"
- rename file from "myfile.temp" to "myfile.json"
earnest phoenix
I can also just to fs.constants.COPYFILE_FICLONE_FORCE every 24h, because that will overwrite the copied file right?
quartz kindle
thats a constant, not a function
neat ingot
would that auto overwrite a file with same name that already exists? ive never tried to rename a file in node 😄
quartz kindle
constants are used as options for specific functions, not used by themselves
cinder patio
yeah it will
earnest phoenix
can just do
quartz kindle
quartz kindle
yes
quartz kindle
👍
fresh hatch
Hey, im making my bot on Glit** but when i add a status its not working
@flat kraken
You mean this channel, right?
flat kraken
Yeah. This channel. But I can't really help

Oh, ok! Dont worry 🙂 Thx anyways 🙂
cinder patio
is that Glitch but censored or do you mean something else
show us how you're doing it, how is it not working?
any errors?

it worked @quartz kindle !
spice smelt
hey there, I'm switching to mongoDB and I'm currently trying mongoose. I've seen in the docs you have to use .save() to save, but how to select the collection? thx in advance
spice smelt
wdym
neat ingot
const datathing = new Model({data});
datathing.save();
When I create a new document, I need to specify the model, right?
fresh hatch
client.user.setActivity('looking SyntaxRP');
neat ingot
yea 🙂
fresh hatch
@cinder patio
cinder patio
weird that should work
spice smelt
and then I use smth like js <mongoCollection>.insert(datathing) right?
cinder patio
Try adding {type: "PLAYING"} as the second parameter but I don't think it's required
neat ingot
i've never used any insert function with mongoose. I just create a new instance of my model, which is part of a collection, and then call save on it and it inserts itself
spice smelt
but how can it find the right collection to go if it isn't specified anywhere?
neat ingot
for example, lets say i have a collection of players and some model like:
const Player = mongoose.model('Player', playerSchema);
const my_player = new Player({ name: 'Dekita' });
my_player.save();
that auto saves into the 'Player' collection.
neat ingot
np 😗
spice smelt
before you explained, I didn't really understand the difference between schemas and models but now I do
neat ingot
a schema is like, a data blueprint, a model is like, a constructor that uses the schema to instantiate the document that will be added to the collection specified when creating said model 🙂
or as mongoose says:
spice smelt
great, thanks 👌
neat ingot
do i need to have the presence intent to set my bots status via setPresence?
neat ingot
lol
it wasnt workinng cause iw as trying to set it with v11 structure
ie, game: {} instead of activity: {}

ah xd
neat ingot
i wonder if they will ever give bots custom status'

yes, you appear to have more errors that you're not showing
austere gale
do i need an api from genius too?
i got this code from here
im new to coding
so im learning as i go
cinder patio
I don't think straight up copying from another bot is learning as you go
austere gale
i go over it
quartz kindle
neat ingot
and how is that a tutorial? its just flat out giving the codebase 😄
quartz kindle
the genius-lyrics module does require an api token apparently
austere gale
hmmm
quartz kindle
but in your case, you need to install it first
austere gale
cries in no pc
austere gale
oh

quartz kindle
the github project uses genius-lyrics v2
you installed v3, which might work differently
this is how v3 works
mossy vine
how much security does the state thing provide in oauth? is it worth implementing?
quartz kindle
it helps against some kinds attacks i guess
limber flume
hey, is this agianst rules?
austere gale
do i need to uninstall v3?
quartz kindle
The primary reason for using the state parameter is to mitigate CSRF attacks.
When you use state for CSRF mitigation on the redirection endpoint, that means that within the state value there is a unique and non-guessable value associated with each authentication request about to be initiated. It’s that unique and non-guessable value that allows you to prevent the attack by confirming if the value coming from the response matches the one you expect (the one you generated when initiating the request). The state parameter is a string so you can encode any other information in it.
mossy vine
yeah but are those attacks easy/harmful enough to be worth implementing additional protection against?
quartz kindle
csrf is one of the main attack vectors these days, along with xss, but it does require access to the target machine, via botnets or similar
the idea is that you intercept the initial request, send it somewhere else, and return a fake version of it from another machine, before the first machine is able to respond to it
or something similar
i dont know the details
mossy vine
ah
quartz kindle
can also be done by man in the middle attacks, so the end result is that you give access to the wrong person
quartz kindle
@austere gale if you want to use v2, you need to change the version in your package.json file
clear wraith
does anyone know how i can make the Reported At line only say the exact time the user was reported, instead of it saying all that extra stuff?
sudden geyser
Roman you need to format the date object.
quartz kindle
@clear wraith
in javascript
@austere gale better would be to change your code to use v3
but that requires knowing what you're doing
quartz kindle
you read the v3 documentation and change the code accordingly
austere gale
i just got into it 2 weeks sago
quartz kindle
austere gale
whats that
quartz kindle
their docs

from the looks of it, the examples are out dated
