pale vessel
console log video
earnest phoenix
that;s not the problem
worthy kindle
I am going to make a modmail bot but I dont know how to host it and I dont have any money any suggestions?
earnest phoenix
that gives me the information eneeded
pale vessel
it's called debugging
earnest phoenix
the problem is returning the variable
worthy kindle
What is the best would you say?
willow marlin
and glitch can be a bit spontaneous
honest perch
you can always host locally
worthy kindle
@honest perch what does that mean?
honest perch
on your own network
willow marlin
oh lmao
digital ibex
glitch isn't even meant for bots
honest perch
for example with a server, raspi or your pc
digital ibex
websockets to be specific
willow marlin
none of them are meant for bots
willow marlin
you could just host locally out of your editor and keep your computer on 24/7
hasty sparrow
No.
worthy kindle
My parents would be mad.
digital ibex
you'd need excellent internet and a very good pc
worthy kindle
I dont have a very good pc.
digital ibex
if u have them two, sure, locally host it
honest perch
you dont need a very good pc
honest perch
i run 3 bots and pihole and its doing fine
digital ibex
i mean, when i host my test bot, and my pc is having a heart attack, my bots ping is around 4000ms
otherwise its normal
worthy kindle
Its a laptop.
digital ibex
what distro?
honest perch
if a raspberry pi can handle a bot fine a pc definitely can
worthy kindle
What do you mean what distro?
honest perch
linux distro
worthy kindle
?
worthy kindle
Idk
digital ibex
ubuntu?
worthy kindle
Idk what linux
honest perch
🤦♂️
digital ibex
nice
worthy kindle
Beacuse my grandpa gave me it.
digital ibex
LOL
honest perch
bruh
honest perch
how did he set it up
pale vessel
gnu/linux
digital ibex
how even d- im gonna stop lmao
honest perch
maybe try with neofetch?
worthy kindle
@digital ibex Beacuse he got it from the church and gave me it right as he got it
how did he set it up
@honest perch i have a laptop.
honest perch
do you get a result if you type sudo apt-get
worthy kindle
I dont have my laptop rn
willow marlin
Can i just check that this will be a good tutorial
https://www.w3schools.com/nodejs/nodejs_mongodb.asp
for Mongo
honest perch
i rather use mongoose
digital ibex
w3school is good
mossy vine
you dont need mongoose unless you want schemas
digital ibex
i'll learn mongo first, then learn mongoose
willow marlin
schemas?
mossy vine
schemas
willow marlin
ah a syllogistic figure
jagged gulch
Is it possible to put an iframe in a discord embed?
willow marlin
no
mossy vine
no
jagged gulch
damn
mossy vine
what do you want to do
jagged gulch
embed a yt video
spice smelt
hi! I wanted to know if there’s anything special that I should do if I wanna create a JSON file to read it in a js program. I tried to simply create a .json file and then use smth like jsonFile = require(‘./jsonFile.json’)But it doesn’t work : it says ‘Unexpected token [first letter after { ] at position 2`. Why? If that can help, I use SFTP.
jagged gulch
this might work
@mossy vine ill check it out, thx!
spice smelt
btw I don’t think we can embed videos
pale vessel
a video, maybe but not sure about YouTube videos
spice smelt
well I just figured out why it didn’t work. I forgot the quote marks... 😓
for the value names
mossy vine
yeah that was what i suspected
spice smelt
thank you anyway
jagged gulch
yeah but if u forget one quote then there goes ur entire document

mossy vine
thats an error coming from a lib youre using
mossy vine
const tempCases = $('div#maincounter-wrap').eq(0).text().split(':')[1].trim();
nah, lib error
jagged gulch
update the library with npm or find a more reliable one
mossy vine
you can fetch it urself
jagged gulch
or you could just do an https request to the who api
hardy vector
axios?
jagged gulch
https.get(url); or smthn like that
hardy vector
what the fuc
mossy vine
what
hardy vector
are you on something?
jagged gulch
const apiFetch = (url) => new Promise(resolve => {
https.get(url, res => {

willow marlin
woah
jagged gulch
@hardy vector thats what I use
hardy vector
ah ok
willow marlin
can i install npm packages from replit?
hardy vector
wdym?
jagged gulch
just call apiFetch(url) when u need
jagged gulch
@willow marlin u developing on repl?
willow marlin
yes
jagged gulch
just go to the package manager tab on the left
willow marlin
i cant afford a vps
hardy vector
just use vsc or something
jagged gulch
get one from google cloud, they're free for a year
hardy vector
replit is a last resort if you dont have 300mb on ur computer
jagged gulch
no cap
autumn summit
use glitch.com
hardy vector
glitch is bad
willow marlin
i used to use glitch
autumn summit
glitch insane
willow marlin
but their host got banned
mossy vine
glitch bad
autumn summit
I just use that for editing
jagged gulch
repl it terrible for bot development, I just use it to test out short functions before implementing
hardy vector
yea
jagged gulch
vsc is god tier
hardy vector
tru
mossy vine
technically
autumn summit
i dont like vsc personally
autumn summit
i find glitch better
hardy vector
@willow marlin give ur computer specs
autumn summit
use glitch
jagged gulch
but repl really doesn't like d.js for some reason
autumn summit
then download the file
hardy vector
or maybe a 1GB for all the extensions
hardy vector
yes and use pm2
jagged gulch
pm2 is literally jesus
autumn summit
use ubuntu
jagged gulch
oml
autumn summit
or whatever its called
hardy vector
yes pm2 is jesus
jagged gulch
lmfao
willow marlin
i have vsc
hardy vector
then why tf are you using replit
autumn summit
replit sucks
jagged gulch
Id start using that instead, it's a lot easier and more convenient than repl
autumn summit
that was my first editor
autumn summit
glitch better
jagged gulch
same, I used to dick around with c when I was bored at school with repl
that was my first editor
@autumn summit
hardy vector
atom isnt that good
autumn summit
lmao
hardy vector
replit is good for when ur bored at school
willow marlin
it has pretty colours
hardy vector
replit is shit
willow marlin
dude
autumn summit
indeed
willow marlin
chill
jagged gulch
atom is good for json and stuff, it sucks for node
willow marlin
its not that bad
autumn summit
who codes with node nowadays?
pale vessel
why do you guys need crazy shit for javascript while i'm just using notepad++
jagged gulch
use whatever ide u want, id just highly reccommend vsc
mossy vine
who codes with node nowadays?
@autumn summit a huge percentage of developers
hardy vector
why do you guys need crazy shit for javascript while i'm just using notepad++
real men use notepad so you are real man
jagged gulch
I use node 😳
autumn summit
@mossy vine ik but literally every developer I code with uses python
jagged gulch
also I'm a web dev so I have lots of background with js
mossy vine
because you code with python devs
jagged gulch
Pyrhon is also amazing
earnest phoenix
who codes with node nowadays?
@autumn summit
people who don't care about performance
jagged gulch
first programming language for me
hardy vector
@jagged gulch which corona api do you use
earnest phoenix
correct
jagged gulch
havent touched it in forever tho
willow marlin
To create a database in MongoDB, start by creating a MongoClient object, then specify a connection URL with the correct ip address and the name of the database you want to create.
Wait where do i get a connection URL and ip adress and mongoclient object
jagged gulch
@jagged gulch which corona api do you use
@hardy vector I don't. but look on the WHO website for their REST api
mossy vine
@willow marlin connection url is where mongodb is hosted
willow marlin
where do i get one
autumn summit
is it just me or does mongodb go super slow sometimes
mossy vine
for example if you are locally hosting it mongodb://localhost:27017/
autumn summit
ive had times where it took my bot 30 minutes to connect with mongodb
jagged gulch
const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
const mongouri = encodeURI(`url`);
const mongoclient = new MongoClient(mongouri, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true });
mongoclient.connect(err => {
const mongocollection = mongoclient.db("test").collection("devices");
console.log(`Connected to mongo DB`);
// perform actions on the collection object
mongoclient.close();
});```
slender thistle
Don't mongodb wrappers set that as default URL if none was given
willow marlin
fricking mongo so hard?
mossy vine
mate what
jagged gulch
fuck I thought they had one
willow marlin
i dont understand the first step
mossy vine
mongo is the easiest db youre getting
willow marlin
To create a database in MongoDB, start by creating a MongoClient object, then specify a connection URL with the correct ip address and the name of the database you want to create.
autumn summit
yeah exactly
willow marlin
how do i create a mongoclient obj
autumn summit
watch any yt vid
jagged gulch
@hardy vector https://github.com/javieraviles/covidAPI this one seems good
lost horizon
Do anyone know how to check if the bot is over a member while kicking/banning it?
Discord.js.
autumn summit
thats how I did it
lost horizon
NovelCovid is also good.
hardy vector
thanks maddie
autumn summit
they should make a discord.py help channel and a discord.js help channel
hardy vector
no
autumn summit
y
hardy vector
development help channel is good enough
autumn summit
ig
hardy vector
i got banned bc in the php discord lib channel i said who uses php for a discord bot
mossy vine
deserved
hardy vector
lol
willow marlin
i got muted in bfd because i said an admin didnt have a d*ck
mossy vine
it doesnt even support a websocket connection
hardy vector
oof
ok
well
ig i deserved
@jagged gulch the api you linked doesnt have the country flag
but i appreciate you helping
quartz kindle
half of the internet is built on wordpress/joomla/some other cms
all of them are built on php

hi, i have js function auth(req, res, next) { console.log(req.user); if (req.user) { next(); console.log(`${req.user} is logged in`); } else { res.redirect('/login'); console.log(`user is not loged in`); } } any ideas why it spams next() and causing the browser to error?
it also spams the console
discord oauth2 with expressjs
pale vessel
show next function
knotty steeple
next is an express function
digital ibex
wym? its just next()
pale vessel
oh
digital ibex
/dashboard
pale vessel
never used express before honestly
digital ibex
oh shit
im so stupid
thank u like a lot
that didn't make sense but ye, thanks :)
yep, i was checking my app.js file that whole time, what i was doing was redirecting it to /dashboard and if they're already logged in, redirect them to /dashboard again and it'd keep on repeating
hardy vector
does anyone know any good covid api's that include the countries flag as well as the stats
earnest phoenix
why do you need the flag
pale vessel
because flag = cool i guess
pale vessel
effort
earnest phoenix
yeah but like you can construct the flag yourself
pale vessel
they do though. i'm using one that provides flag but i forgot what it's called
earnest phoenix
take the country code and either send the flag emoji or get the flag from the twemoji repo from the appropriate unicode codepoints
hardy vector
why do you need the flag
@earnest phoenix bc makes the embed look cooler
spice smelt
heyy. im currently tring to use bitly's api. I tried this: ```js
if (msg.content.startsWith(PREFIX+'link ')) {
let bitlyKey = switchJSON.bitlyKey;
let linkStr = msg.content.substring(PREFIX.length+5)
let link = encodeURI(linkStr)
if (validURL(link)) {
// console.log(link)
let settings = {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
"Authorization": Bearer ${bitlyKey}
},
body: JSON.stringify({
long_url: link
})
}
fetch('https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/shorten', { settings })
.then(res => res.text())
.then(body => console.log(body))
}
}
But I don't understand why body returns :
Method Not Allowed
(using djs)
nope. I'm trying to shorten a URL, so I can't use GET
earnest phoenix
that wouldn't follow RESTful design, ^
pale vessel
was it even rest
spice smelt
that's what I thought, but this makes no sense
pure lion
how do I fetch all the member IDs in a server
tight plinth
long_url should not be literally "string" I guess, but smth else
spice smelt
yes of course 😂
spice smelt
you do really are a true genius @tight plinth
tight plinth
pure lion
H e l 🅱️
spice smelt
yep @proven lantern
spice smelt
uh yeess you're right
thanks 👍
now I got this error 😓 ```
{"message":"INVALID_CONTENT_TYPE_HEADER"}
headers: {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${bitlyKey}`
},
i don't see what's wrong
pale vessel
add a content type header
spice smelt
?
pale vessel
"Content-Type": "application/json"
pale vessel
yeah
you already got the body right by stringifying it
what's that for, i actually never used it haha
spice smelt
well i gotta eat right now then see you later 👋
amber fractal
to declare what your app accepts back
pale vessel
ah i understand
amber fractal
Most likely will return a https://httpstatuses.com/415 if you don't send the correct data accept asks for
pure lion
Ok stack underflow
pale vessel
what
modest maple
what language
tight plinth
Client options
pure lion
Discord.js
pale vessel
you can use members.fetch() if you really need all of them, otherwise just use the cache
pure lion
Ok but how to ID
pale vessel
oh god
tight plinth
Learn it
pale vessel
sorry man
amber fractal
then how did you make a bot
tight plinth
Please
tight plinth
No
pure lion
Not enough apparently
pale vessel
well clearly it's not
tight plinth
If you don't know how to use a map u don't
spare goblet
Is it possible to migrate MySQL db whilst saving character set collation so that when I reupload SQL table into the new db the current character wont become corrupted
spare goblet
And if yes, how to do it
amber fractal
tight plinth
What is your new db
tight plinth
Lol
spare goblet
I just wanna switch servers
tight plinth
Erm
pale vessel
did you try exporting it and see if it saved the collation?
spare goblet
No because I'm not making new tables
I can make it so like
I export, import it, (at this point after.import it becomes ?), Then use SQL statement to change the character encoding
pale vessel
hey that's mean i use MySQL too
spare goblet
But then it already became ?
modest maple
and use postgres
MYSQL has legit no benefits over postgres
Postgres is just Faster in general, Better data types, open source for even more data types, and has native roll back
spare goblet
I had one when I chose between MySQL and postgres
Which was bigger than other positives
Hence I use MySQL
Just trying o figure this out
modest maple
👏 Dont 👏 use 👏 mySQL 👏 smh
spare goblet
don't judge me
spare goblet
Tysm
knotty steeple
mariadb
pale vessel
might as well use Postgres
knotty steeple
better mysql
modest maple
might as well use Postgres
True
knotty steeple
i just dont like postgres
spare goblet
Why
pale vessel
i've never tried Postgres
knotty steeple
the sql is slightly different
pale vessel
i'm too used to MySQL
knotty steeple
yea no
spare goblet
Oh yeah
knotty steeple
i use sqlite anyway
pale vessel
i mean if it ain't broke don't fix it
modest maple
tight plinth
Or you can make a new db and use smth like a windows myslq db editor to manually copy paste the current db data, but it's annoying to do
spare goblet
Had some difficulty getting used to it when using postgres
knotty steeple
it works up to 1tb 
spare goblet
But it's understandable
modest maple
postgres easyyyyyy
magic jackal
I use Mongo😳
sudden geyser
arrays
modest maple
All i do when im doing postgres is make a load of functions
and send that to the DB on start
spare goblet
knotty steeple
mongo setup was more complex than postgres
modest maple
I just docker everything
so for me either way its just an image
and some env vars
if i need to connect to postgres its just db in the connection string and tell docker to link
opaque seal
Can I verify my bot even if it's ony in let's say 10 guilds?
mossy vine
with discord no
opaque seal
only 75 or more?
jagged gulch
you need to get at least 75
mossy vine
yes
opaque seal
But they take soo freaking long to verify bots
and then while not verified the bot cannot join more guilds than 100
jagged gulch
it can for now
pale vessel
for now
jagged gulch
but once they fully implement it in october, then they'll limit u
opaque seal
implement what sry?
opaque seal
nice try xD
opaque seal
ok so
I saw your site
Everything is really cool and all, but how are you thinking of maintaining a bot without getting people to pay for it, being open source too
If you can make that, you are a god
jagged gulch
donations and stuff, also opt-in ads
mossy vine
people wont understand what to do with source code
jagged gulch
and Ive got enough cash to run it atm so I'm donating all current proceeds to the BLM movement to try and make an impact
opaque seal
people wont understand what to do with source code
some do though
and Ive got enough cash to run it atm so I'm donating all current proceeds to the BLM movement to try and make an impact
@jagged gulch noice
jagged gulch
yeah, Im worried imma spawn a shit tonne of crappy clones of my bot
pale vessel
did you just bring that up
jagged gulch
and my twitter aboutta get bombed with why unhandled promise rejection pls teach js
opaque seal
yeah, Im worried imma spawn a shit tonne of crappy clones of my bot
I'm worried that you'll need to spend a lot of money on hosting it, that's why I asked
mossy vine
then some will fork the bot or something. chances are they wouldnt pay anyways and even fi they would youre only losing out on a very small amount for the greater good of open sourcing code that people can learn from
jagged gulch
yeah, this is both a learning experience for me and others
I'm worried that you'll need to spend a lot of money on hosting it, that's why I asked
@opaque seal I'm only paying for hosting for my own bot, and google gave me a free vps for the year so yeah
they're doing a free trial rn with 300 dollars worth of cloud credits
opaque seal
wheaaat
opaque seal
Can I get that too? Where can I look that up?
opaque seal
@slender thistle
opaque seal
Ive been trying to learn mongo but it hurts my head
it's not that hard once you get the hang of it
mossy vine
no thats when it gets worse. when you somewhat understand what youre doing but need to do more complicated queries
jagged gulch
fuck
mossy vine
but for the most part you wont need to
and even if you do, google is your best friend
opaque seal
There has to be a downsight with this google thing
WHo the heck gives away 300 dollars like that
mossy vine
its google, they can afford shit like that
pale vessel
pretty obvious since it's a VPS
opaque seal
you've gotta manage the VPS urself, its not like heroku
I'm using Vultr rn
Think it's the same
jagged gulch
never heard of that but prolly
jagged gulch
np mate
pale vessel
how long does the google cloud trial thing last for btw
jagged gulch
1 year
opaque seal
12 mnth
pale vessel
cool
grizzled raven
huh okay
mossy vine
thats like
opaque seal
It's a pretty long time
mossy vine
300/12 bucks per month
jagged gulch
it also gives u access to the WHOLE suite, that includes firebase hosting for static sites
opaque seal
300/12 bucks per month
many bucks let's sat xd
pale vessel
i can't math
grizzled raven
databases is where i start double taking everyth8ng
jagged gulch
Im tryna build persistent cloud data for my bot, I'm debating whether i should use mongo or just fs with some json files on my vps
grizzled raven
guess i'll just
mossy vine
mongo
opaque seal
Im tryna build persistent cloud data for my bot, I'm debating whether i should use mongo or just fs with some json files on my vps
no json please
grizzled raven
yeah
jagged gulch
idk it confuses me
opaque seal
I use that with js too
jagged gulch
im dumb
opaque seal
what confuses you?
jagged gulch
ive never done database work before, so I'm learning how mongo handles pushing and retrieving data
opaque seal
what confuses you?
?
opaque seal
what you meannn xd
mossy vine
mongo be like
save shit? .insertOne
find shit? .findOne
jagged gulch
mainly the syntax
mossy vine
heres my totally epic take on mongo vs sql dbs
man i can write javascript instead of selling my soul and a kidney to satan and writing some broken english
opaque seal
It's like await client.yourdatabase.findOne(whichvalue: value, error, results =>
jagged gulch
i need to store big arrays and stuff tho
opaque seal
it's prettyu much just asking for that and saving data
jagged gulch
can it handle that?
mossy vine
it absolutely can
opaque seal
in like 2 lines of code
jagged gulch
damn
opaque seal
Yeah
jagged gulch
this is why you don't try to learn a db when ur hella sleep deprived lol
thats when I kinda gave up lol
opaque seal
Have you tried setting it up?
jagged gulch
I have a cluster, kinda got it set up but when I pushed a test collection i didn't see anything
opaque seal
If you send the code we can take a look at it
jagged gulch
const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
const mongouri = encodeURI(`mongodb+srv://<user>:${passwd}@cluster`);
const mongoclient = new MongoClient(mongouri, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true });
mongoclient.connect(err => {
const mongocollection = mongoclient.db("test").collection("devices");
console.log(`Connected to mongo DB`);
// perform actions on the collection object
mongoclient.close();
});```const mongocollection = mongoclient.db("test").collection("devices");
I've personally never done it like that
don't know if it works
jagged gulch
literally just copy pasted it from the cluster setup site lmao
opaque seal
I'll send you mine
jagged gulch
cheers
fast trench
I have no idea why but all of a sudden I'm getting this error and my bot is crashing after a few hours https://srcb.in/73d2b44e33
fast trench
so just redownload node? or how lol
spice smelt
npm update discord.js or smth like that for djs
fast trench
this is also the only bot that is doing this...
spice smelt
for node I don't remember :/
jagged gulch
node update should also do the trick for node
jagged gulch
are you hosting them all together
fast trench
yes
spice smelt
I also got an issue 😅 (it's about the bitly API as you may have read before) : I got this code that uses bitly's API with node-fetch to shorten a link : ```js
let bitlyKey = switchJSON.bitlyKey;
let linkStr = msg.content.substring(PREFIX.length+5)
let link = encodeURI(linkStr)
if (validURL(link)) {
let settings = {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": Bearer ${bitlyKey}
},
body: JSON.stringify({
long_url: link
})
}
fetch('https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/shorten', settings )
.then(res => res.text())
.then(body => console.log(body))
}
But the response keeps being ```
{"message":"FORBIDDEN"}
Any idea of why and how to fix it?
cinder patio
you don't have access to that endpoint
spice smelt
Yes, got it, it's litterally written in the error. But this makes no sense : this is available to everyone, and it cannot be the ratelimit. Can this be because I'm not logged in? Because I haven't found any UNAUTHORIZED error response in their docs
can FORBIDDEN replace UNAUTHORIZED?
pff i'm lost
cinder patio
They are different error codes so I don't think so
spice smelt
yes
mossy vine
forbidden means you dont have the permission to do that
cinder patio
but it's up to the devs
mossy vine
spice smelt
i know what forbidden means, it means i'm logged in and i'm not permitted to do that, and I know the difference with the 401 code. But this is really weird, since this is a public feature. I'll read their docs again.
jagged gulch
yeah do that, you might've made a bad endpoint request or smthn
spice smelt
it doesn't look like i've used a wrong endpoint, the endpoint isn't premium-only, and their docs about it are pretty short...
just to be sure: if someone uses bitly's API here : for the Authorization, is that the client secret I need to put? Is this the 'token' ?```js
"Authorization": "Bearer "+token
i think its access token
spice smelt
I only got the client id and the client secret
I found it!
It's a very weird way to use the API. The token is to use a user's account trough the bot. I don't think it has been made for bots, maybe for applications or interfaces or something.
knotty steeple
or use a better api

code for ${ms(ms(mutetime))}?
also can you log ${ms(ms(mutetime))} to see if it actually has a value

https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/8kq13_4144.png if there was only some sort of documentation you could use
earnest phoenix
you don't know how to create a ping command
well okay, check the docs they should have an example
true ravine
What actually happens if my bot causes my system to reach 100% memory usage?
Does it just die? 🤔
earnest phoenix
you can check on google
im not sure because it hasn't happened to me, but i assume if you use something like pm2 it would auto restart
digital ibex
how can i get the a users username only from their id? so like, i've only got their id and how can i get their usernme
using eris
true ravine
I do indeed use pm2, so if it just restarts that's fine ig ^^
cinder patio
Lost, you can probably get it from the cache or just fetch the whole member
digital ibex
oh, sorry, my bad. not using eris, only expressjs
fast trench
any ideas about this? it's only doing it on one bot. Just started doing it 2 days ago and will crash after a while every time I restart it https://srcb.in/73d2b44e33
jagged gulch
@true ravine you likely have a problem if ur bot maxes out ur memory
How much ram do u have?
lethal hawk
in how many servers is the bot?
jagged gulch
I run a music bot and it rarely goes over 70mbs of ram
modest maple
jagged gulch
Although it isn’t in many guilds atm
true ravine
I'm in 560 guilds with around 80k users
jagged gulch
What kinda bot is it
true ravine
It's a delivery bot, so nothing actually intensive
jagged gulch
Wym by delivery bot?
true ravine
You order food and it sends you a picture of the food
lethal hawk
I think he means some kind of mailing system
jagged gulch
O damn
lethal hawk
lol
pictures can be resource intensive depending on how you process them. 1gb of ram seems low for 560 guilds.
jagged gulch
There’s gotta b something up with your code then, optimize maybe? If it’s just simple command, then dm then that shouldn’t be that intensive
But yeah u might need more ram for that many guilds
lethal hawk
Does someone here know if you can host a discord bot on a server with only ipv6 address?
true ravine
There’s gotta b something up with your code then, optimize maybe? If it’s just simple command, then dm then that shouldn’t be that intensive
@jagged gulch My bot is the first js I've ever written (properly - excluding online tutorials) so my code is probably trash
earnest phoenix
RangeError [BITFIELD_INVALID]: Invalid bitfield flag or number.
@earnest phoenix you gave an invalid bitfield
you probably did a permission check
and you misspelled the permission's name to check
MANAGE_ROLES_OR_PERMISSIONS
Fixed
Thanks
jagged gulch
@jagged gulch My bot is the first js I've ever written (properly - excluding online tutorials) so my code is probably trash
@true ravine that’s how I started off too. Best thing to do is go back to ur code and slim stuff down, or get more ram if u can
I’d use google vps cause they have a really good free trial, 12 months and 300 dollars worth of credits
jagged gulch

dusk pendant
guys why is my bot making 3 of the same message when i only entered the command once?
lethal hawk
code?
lethal hawk
can you post the code?
lethal hawk
the part that sends the message 3 times
amber granite
if it only sends once in the code they probably made the mistake I used to make all the time and ran 3 instances of the bot
amber granite
hopefully without token
lethal hawk
does it happen for all the commands, or just one of them?
dusk pendant
all of them
lethal hawk
Then it is probably as nwunder says, you started the bot more then once.
if it only sends once in the code they probably made the mistake I used to make all the time and ran 3 instances of the bot
lethal hawk
where do you run the bot? Home pc or vps?
dusk pendant
i run it on a vm linux
lethal hawk
type that in the console. If you changed the process name of your bot to something other then 'python', use that instead
or pkill -9 -f path/to/my_script.py
open flicker
can you explain how to make premium for a bot? and what needs to be added to the database
dusk pendant
sorry
its just that i use an online coding platform
cuz i don't have the rescources to host the bot
its called repl.it
lethal hawk
I don't know how that host works. srry
cinder patio
It's not even meant to be a host
dusk pendant
its just that i don't have the resources
ya have to keep a computer running
so i didn't do that
lethal hawk
you can get a vps for as low as 2$ a month.
dusk pendant
i make $0/month
i'm like 12
i can't just run a computer
and i make no money
and this is free
cinder patio
yikes
lethal hawk
glitch.com is a decent free host, but it only works for js. I don't know any good ones for py
dusk pendant
ok
digital ibex
hi, so
i have https://discordapp.com/users/475371795185139712/, how can i get my username from that using javascript
lethal hawk
@dusk pendant You can take a look here https://support.glitch.com/t/how-to-use-python-on-glitch/11201/4
dusk pendant
its okay
quartz kindle
repl.it doesnt cause that issue by itself
whatever issue is causing it will also be present in any other host
the issue is most likely in the code
lethal hawk
take a look in his code then, I didn't find anything
quartz kindle
you want to get a user object directly from the api?
digital ibex
yeah
lethal hawk
I suggest using a discord library like discord.py or discord.js
digital ibex
its the only way i can get it
quartz kindle
you need to make a GET request with any http library
and put your token in the authorization header
digital ibex
what token would it be?
lethal hawk
you need to make a GET request with any http library
yes, but then it's one command and the library handles the rest
digital ibex
like the bots token
digital ibex
oki, thank u
quartz kindle
you can test it with reqbin
onyx summit
If ur doing oauth you can use the access token and get the profile over other ways
digital ibex
im confused
quartz kindle
are you doing oauth?
quartz kindle
so for example
a user goes to you website, and you want them to login with discord
then get their username?
digital ibex
yeah. i've got the login bit sorted out, but all im storing in the db is the users id and other stuff, they're not unique tho
quartz kindle
once they login, you get their access token
you use this token instead of your bot's token to get their info from the api
using the me endpoint
wheat jolt
send http requests?
digital ibex
i haven't really worked with api's, and when i do use them, i just do ```js
const something = await fetch('api url');
const thing = something.thing;
what would the url be?

chrome olive
str.replace(/*/gi, 'remove bold text');
any solutions to replace * ?
modest maple
yes
amber fractal
escape the asterisk
modest maple
you replace *
amber fractal
chrome olive
"SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /*/: Nothing to repeat"
lmao
amber fractal
You didnt escape it
- in regex is a quantifier
You need to escape it to actually match a *
chrome olive
but
it doesn't work
I mean I use a function to replace it
cleanBio (text) {
return typeof text === 'string' ? text.replace(/`/g, String.fromCharCode(8203)).replace(/@/g, String.fromCharCode(8203)).replace(/\*\*/, String.fromCharCode(8203)) : text;
}
How can i make that if anyone write in a chat, a message that it shows the message in my terminal with the users name in python with discord.py?

I run my bot and it works without any problems. It responds to the commands I sent without any problems but after 6 minutes, the bot stops responding to commands and closes it to the console.
In addition, I run the same files in different bots and the bot has been running for 15 hours now.

@shy light happened to me might be something else thar happened idk
Just ignore it, happened to me today but nothing bad happened. Not even duplicate messages.
twilit prairie
how can i update my coins that i aleardy had in my database
shy turret
I think it is like the bot decided ro shutdown then restart again
@twilit prairie wdym
twilit prairie
like my coins i have is 100 i want to update my coins
shy turret
I don't get it but ok.
pearl igloo
Who now, how i can make a coin system?
shy turret
Using a database
clever tree
I have a question. How could my bot create a channel that updates his name in an intervall. And how could I get this channel everytime my bot is ready ? Please tag for help :) Thank u
shy light
@shy turret, I couldn't understand anything
shy turret
Are you running 2 bots on 1 process?
pearl igloo
does anyone know how i can make a coin system?
shy light
@shy turret, yes
twilit prairie
yay
shy turret
Then you can get the coin, possibly parseFloat() then add etc
pearl igloo
@pearl igloo using a database
@shy turret wym?
shy turret
A database
pearl igloo
where can i find it?
pearl igloo
but how?
shy light
Could there be anything from discor?
shy turret
@shy light might be something in the code
If you use try catch and dont catch the error, you might want to catch the error if there is any
shy light
@shy turret, I am running a different bot with the same files but I did not get a problem bot has been open for 17 hours now.
shy turret
Different process?
Well, it might have been a one time error or mistake your computer or node made
Maybe due to overuse of ram or cpu
shy light
@shy turret Could it be because of too many pings, sometimes the bot sees 10k pings.
shy light
@digital ibex, let me try it
pearl igloo
@shy turret ?

Do you have ffmpeg as an environment variable
yes
when my bot i playing a song and i use disconnect from discord not like a command
Yh
then when i do play it dosent connect again but it adds it to the queue
