Hi guys let me ask a question
opal plank
you missed my flex earlier didnt u code?
earnest phoenix
how do you remotely dent hardware
dull badger
Is it looks like good?
earnest phoenix
Hi guys let me ask a question
@dull badger just ask it no need to tell us you wanna ask
golden condor
opal plank
this is what was causing that server to use 25%
earnest phoenix
Is it looks like good?
@dull badger you've been told earlier by a mod not to ask for idea here
discord.js server is cool with that tho
opal plank
197 database calls per second
just let that sink
per SECOND
25% cpu usage
its quite the task to bring 2 Xeons to use that
earnest phoenix
my bot is always above 60% cpu usage even tho it is offline (yeah)

i am getting a 401 discord api error while changing the channel of a webhook
anyone knows why
finite bough
opal plank
i dont think u can do that
opal plank
im 50% sure you cant edit webhooks once they are sent
finite bough
earnest phoenix
bruuuuuuhhhh
opal plank
no, it sends new ones
spice cradle
hi i nedd bot for my yotube channel ?
finite bough
nope
opal plank
once its sent you cant edit it
slender thistle
It's the same webhook with changed name and avatar
opal plank
you can edit the webhook contents
finite bough
^
opal plank
thats when you send in the payload
you cannot edit a sent webhook
this is just the payload for the new one you'll send
finite bough
yea
opal plank
which technically is kinda wasteful
finite bough
thats exactly what i am doing
opal plank
im assuming you getting a bad webhook
opal plank
say that webhook is on #general then you try access channel #development
with the webhook that is tied to #general
thats my only assumption
finite bough
dense vessel
does heroku support discordjs databases?
opal plank
thats not a webhook getting edited
thats the same webhook with different payloads sent
finite bough
like
u are saying the same thing but twisted
i dont mean like editing a webhook msg
opal plank
there is a difference
earnest phoenix
it's not our job to help man/woman
opal plank
even the name and avatar is part of the payload
slender thistle
On each request to a webhook, a different avatar and name are provided to Discord API
opal plank
to change the actual webhook channel i dont think you can use the payload
you need to create a webhook to that channel i assume
i dont recall seeing a channel in the webhook payload
finite bough
@slender thistle yea then it can also provide a different channel to the discord api no?
slender thistle
Mhm, webhooks are attached to channels
opal plank
say that webhook is on #general then you try access channel #development
this
slender thistle
You need to create a separate one in another channel and send requests to it
dense vessel

New dumb question, how do you create a text channel (in a specific category)?
sudden geyser
What library are you using
sudden geyser
Use <Guild>.channels.create(). The first argument is the name of the channel and the second is the options. In the options object, give it a key of parent and a value that can be resolved into a category channel (https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/GuildChannelManager?scrollTo=create).
fickle dune
earnest phoenix
That awesome explanation Lite
sudden geyser
Get the current time (variable 1), send an API request, get the time after the API request (after it's been resolved) and save that to variable 2. Minus the time it took in milliseconds
dense vessel
u get the client's websocket ping
sudden geyser
ws ping is not the same to my knowledge
dense vessel
Get the current time (variable 1), send an API request, get the time after the API request (after it's been resolved) and save that to variable 2. Minus the time it took in milliseconds
whenever i tried this it sent back 19214ms or negative ping
earnest phoenix
You're explanations are killing me Lite THEY'RE TOO AWESONE
dense vessel
thats why i rely on websocket ping
earnest phoenix
whenever i tried this it sent back 19214ms or negative ping
@dense vessel f
quartz kindle
websocket ping is the latency of the websocket connection, which is where discord sends events to you
rest ping is the latency of the rest api which is where you send requests to discord, ie send messages
earnest phoenix
what's a websocket? An electric socket for the internet?
sudden geyser
Nistooks calculating rest ping can be as simple as this: ```js
// JavaScript
let start = Date.now()
sendMessage(...).then(() => {
let time = Date.now() - start // in ms
})```
hazy sparrow
npm i -g windows-build-tools
@restive furnace is that for quick.db?
finite plover
When creating a channel (Discord.js) can I specify which category I want it in?
hazy sparrow
ayy @quartz kindle long time no see lol
earnest phoenix
@hazy sparrow do you even know coding
quartz kindle
a websocket is a special type of connection that is kept always open, as opposed to regular http/https connections that are always closed once they are finished

wheat jolt
how the heck do I "break" the inline for d.js MessageEmbed
I'm trying to have an embed like this:
Field1 Field2
Field3 Field4
earnest phoenix
the first two have to be inline
sudden geyser
You can't really have it in that 2x2 pattern as it's a limitation on how Discord renders it to the user, but you could do:
a b
c
d
if you're fine with that
wheat jolt
ah ok
sudden geyser
The last argument when you use .addField (or an object key for .addFields) is inline which is if the field will be inlined. So you can set that to false if you want the field to be on its own line but you can't do the 2x2 pattern like I said (from what I tested in the past).

anyone know C#?
if so can you answer this question:
How many times must a variable be declared?
drifting wedge
TypeError: on_guild_channel_update() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given
anyone know this error?
quartz kindle
i dont know C# but there is no such thing as a number of times it must be declared in any programming language
all variables only need to be declared once, then you just need to make sure the variable is defined in the correct scope
fervent goblet
idk its on my C# quiz and its puzzling to me
quartz kindle
then the answer should be 1 lol
knotty steeple
if its a constant yes
fervent goblet
Starman is typing...
slender thistle
And as for a dynamic variable, that's not declaring it, is it?
That'd be changing a variable's value or re-assigning
restive furnace
ghosting or whatever it was called exists btw
quartz kindle
idk the details of how c# implements those things
slender thistle
First time hearing about that term
faint prism
anyone know C#?
if so can you answer this question:
How many times must a variable be declared?
@fervent goblet I know C#
But idk what you mean by that question
You can declare a variable once within a scope.
You can set it's value as many times as you want.
Outside the scope, it no longer exists.
{ // Start scope
var myVariable; // Declared
myVariable = aThing; // Setting the value for variable
myVariable = anotherThing; // Overwriting the value for variable
} // End sope
// myVariable no longer exists
the correct answer was once
fervent goblet
they said must

Okay, so I apparently don't remember how to do this, but how do I set a user display name in an embed?

embed.set_footer(text=f"ID: {channel.id}")
embed.timestamp = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
await channel.send(embed=embed)```should i not pass member?
sinful belfry
@stable nimbus what lib?
stable nimbus
Discord.js 12.2. Its on an added field.
slender thistle
still no before, after in the function parameters
sinful belfry
ah so with the user object, you can just do user.username
stable nimbus
Okay thanks.
slender thistle
still I don't know why you thought on_guild_channel_update accepted a Member object
sinful belfry
oh wait
stable nimbus
I don't know how I forgot it.
sinful belfry
r u talking about their nick?
drifting wedge
still I don't know why you thought
on_guild_channel_updateaccepted a Member object
@slender thistle lol
sinful belfry
or just their username?
stable nimbus
Just their displayname.
drifting wedge
so dont pass anything?
slender thistle
still no
before, afterin the function parameters
sinful belfry
does that mean the nickname too?
stable nimbus
Display name:
If no nickname is set it defaults to username
drifting wedge
thanks
sinful belfry
because then you'll need the member object of that user
stable nimbus
So since I don't have a nickname here if I ran a command it would pass as fuzzyfurry069, but if I had a nickname that would pass.
sinful belfry
yeah i see
you need the member object of that user
then just do .displayName on that
stable nimbus
I know that.
I've used it many a time.
But I have an addFiled() function where I need the display name.
sinful belfry
yeah, you can just do: .addField(member.displayName, "some value here")
stable nimbus
Yeah but of a mentioned user.\
slender thistle
after.guild
sinful belfry
@stable nimbus you need to look at the mentions in the message
drifting wedge
thanks so much lol
stable nimbus
Which I have the user function set up.
drifting wedge
also, how can i detect when a category is made?
forest drift
message.channel.send(message.author.String());
why doesnt this work to ping someone?
drifting wedge
or is it same as channe;
message.channel.send(message.author.String());why doesnt this work to ping someone?
@forest drift mention
you need to mention
sinful belfry
can you send ur code, i don't really understand what u mean @stable nimbus
forest drift
so
message.channel.send(mention.author.String());
slender thistle
also, how can i detect when a category is made?
@drifting wedge a category is a channel, useon_guild_channel_create
sinful belfry
@stable nimbus can u show ur code tho
stable nimbus
const embed = new MessageEmbed()
.setAuthor(message.member.displayName, message.author.displayAvatarURL())
.setTitle(`${emoji.a} The Breathalyzer! ${emoji.a}`)
.setColor(0xA1EE3)
.setDescription(`<@${message.author.id}> is checking <@${user.id}>'s BAC level!`)
.addField(`${user.displayName}'s BAC level: `, `${percent}%!`)
.setFooter(copyright.copyright);
message.delete();
message.channel.send(`Hey <@${message.author.id}>, <@${user.id}>!`, embed);```Essentially, yes. A category is a channel that contains text/voice channels
sinful belfry
@stable nimbus .displayName can only be done on a member
not on a user
so you need to fetch the member, and then you can do .displayName on them
stable nimbus
When I do it on a member it breaks, I need to get the display name of somebody I mentioned.
slender thistle
Use isinstance(channel, discord.CategoryChannel) to check if created channel is a category
stable nimbus
Thats not what I need ffs
misty sigil
what do you need then
stable nimbus
Nevermind.
sinful belfry
(you can't get people's nicknames from the user)
they are guild specific, which is why it is only obtainable from the member
perhaps i have misunderstood tho

Anyone else here having a sharded bot(discord.js) and uses pm2 and/or pm2 plus?
Because I just started sharding my bot, all good so far, however pm2 reports to me that the process only takes 42mb ram...
And it's only showing one process too... I am clueless at this point what's the issue
blazing portal
Yeah
misty sigil
You can use client.shard.broadcastEval("process.memoryUsage().rss") to get all the usage
that's all i can think of
forest drift
message.channel.send(message.author.mention);
why when i use this does it could as "undefined"?
blazing portal
Ah no that's not the issue. My stats command works fine. It's just that pm2 says it's 42mb which is just wrong. And i use the pm2 web dashboard (pm2 plus) to monitor the server. So this being wrong is... bad for me xD

because message.author is a mention
@misty sigil that is if it's inside a template literal (it turns it into a string) or using message.author.toString()

How does one update nodejs via the command line? Linux
blazing portal
I do, I am using the ShardingManager provided by Discord.js. But pm2 shows me the wrong ram and cpu usage
quartz kindle
thats not internal sharding
misty sigil
what is then
blazing portal
oh right, i confused them. Is internal sharding better than traditional though?
quartz kindle
depends on the situation
the only reason to use the sharding manager is if you have multiple cpu cores and your bot uses a lot of cpu
otherwise internal sharding is better in almost every way
misty sigil
so how do you do said internal sharding
quartz kindle
const client = new Discord.Client({
shards:"auto"
})
is it that fucking simple
quartz kindle
yup
misty sigil
well fuck me
blazing portal
same haha
zenith terrace
Is internal sharding easy, is it just that ๐คจ
misty sigil
client.guilds.cache.size
quartz kindle
with internal sharding there is only 1 bot process, the same way as not sharding at all. all shards use the same cache, there is no broadcastEval, no fetchClientValues, etc...
cobalt spruce
@misty sigil thanks
misty sigil
with internal sharding there is only 1 bot process, the same way as not sharding at all. all shards use the same cache, there is no broadcastEval, no fetchClientValues, etc...
@quartz kindle cooL lol
quartz kindle
it uses less ram because you dont need a full process for each shard
the only downside is that it cannot use multiple cpus
blazing portal
can't use multiple cpus or cpu threads?
blazing portal
wait maybe it's because i had my head in the sharding stuff the past hours, but isn't discord.js using all available cpu threads by default? or am i confusing something here
misty sigil
cpu but virtual
quartz kindle
it has nothing to do with discord.js
javascript is single threaded, each javascript process can only use 1 thread, which in turn means that each node.js process only uses 1 thread as well
in order to multi-thread javascript and node.js, you need to either spawn multiple node.js processes, or use node.js's worker threads
discord.js's sharding manager does that, it uses node.js's child_process.fork() by default, and you can also set it to use worker_threads instead
internal sharding doesnt use the sharding manager, there is only 1 single process, and all shards are connected and managed inside the same process
finite plover
In Discord.js, how do I get a channel's parent? Would have thought it's a parameter of the Channel class but apparently not.
blazing portal
welp. thanks for the info tim
quartz kindle
@blazing portal im not sure but you can try setting the sharding manager in worker mode, maybe it will show correct ram usage that way
new Discord.ShardingManager({mode:"worker"});
since workers share memory with the parent
misty sigil
what are the pros and cons of worker mode
quartz kindle
in worker mode, each shard is a worker process instead of a child process
worker processes share memory with the parent process and fully depend on it to run
child processes on the other hand are independent, each has their own memory and engine
if the parent fails, all workers fail, but child processes dont necessarily fail
misty sigil
so if i have pm2 on it it's fine
quartz kindle
so basically workers are more efficient but more dependent
child processes are designed to be independent
the operating system can see child processes independently, but it cant see worker processes afaik
blazing portal
Thanks very much ๐ Indeed when using worker mode it shows the correct ram and cpu usage.

mongoose is already a wrapper tho
earnest phoenix
lol
cinder patio
so if your wrapping your head around a wrapper, I dunno what you can do
pale vessel
idk, you never told the problem

how can i remove ssh keys from ubuntu so it asks for a password and not keys
finite plover
You really shouldn't; keys are much more secure.
obtuse jolt
i know but they are annoying
finite plover
You need to update /etc/sshd_config
earnest phoenix
no
@restive furnace they don't have a search button how can it get worse

Change the variable PasswordAuthentication from no to yes

So I just started using mongoose and this is my current code:
var mongoose = require("mongoose");
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test', {useNewUrlParser: true});
var db = mongoose.connection;
db.on('error', console.error.bind(console, 'connection error:'));
db.once('open', function() {
console.log("Connection Successful!");
});
But when I run it in the repl.it shell it throws this error:
not gonna spend another ten hours trying to find the correct key combination to copy text from the shell so i'll take a screenshot
earnest phoenix
Can you even run a local dB on repl.it?
@thick gull that json.sqlite file i've got is quick.db so

tight plinth
so im trying to do a move command for a music bot, basically what i want to do is get the array with the songs and move the song at position args[0] to position args[1] in the array. what is the best method to do that? I tried js const o = serverQueue.songs[msg.args[0]] delete serverQueue.songs[msg.args[0]] serverQueue.songs.splice(msg.args[1], 0, o)but it doesnt work bc o seems to not exist
dull badger
im always getting this error when i create a new .js file
sudden geyser
Go to the file you created and check the export
tight plinth
i get this at the end of my array, and it seem to fuck the bot
sudden geyser
See if you're exporting an object with a help key & value
That's just the look for inspecting variables
dull badger
@sudden geyser bro. im creating file without any code and BOOM error!
sudden geyser
I don't think that would actually mess with it. I see the issue now
sudden geyser
@dull badger it's probably just an error you were just not expecting. Show the file you created

How can I get a file like my index with a discord.js v12 eval?
quartz kindle
wat?
quartz kindle
you want the contents of the file as text?
fringe axle
Yes
quartz kindle
use fs.readFileSync
quartz kindle
w!eval require("fs").readFileSync("./index.js")

does mongodb store collections as an array of objects
how do yoi fetch a collection from a db
im not dumb im just new
misty sigil
MongoDB or mongoose?
drifting wedge
how do i install ffmpeg?
earnest phoenix
mongodb
misty sigil
And why fetch an entire collection?
earnest phoenix
lol
midnight blaze
wow mongodb you must be smart then
would be too complicated for me...mongoose is so much simpler
misty sigil
mongodb isnt hard
thick gull
earnest phoenix
wow mongodb you must be smart then
@midnight blaze no it's that mongodb has better docs than mongoose
And why fetch an entire collection?
@misty sigil idk why
db.db("X").collection("Y");
does this return collection Y from database X
misty sigil
no
misty sigil
db.db("X").collection("Y").find({}).toArray() would iirc
earnest phoenix
k
fringe axle
readFileSync("./index.js","utf8")
@quartz kindle but I get\nand all the+in the file too...
quartz kindle
is your eval command using util.inspect?
earnest phoenix
what does a string constant mean
opal plank
probably a string that doesnt change
midnight blaze
can we read captchas with a Web Scraper ?
cinder patio
It's not an easy task
if it was, captchas would be meaningless. Why are you asking?
midnight blaze
They are? Nowadays serious pages do not use captchas
valid frigate
google uses captcha
midnight blaze
they use pictures which you have to click
they do not use simple captchas with text
earnest phoenix
Hi
cinder patio
that's still a captcha
valid frigate
ok so basically the primary objective of captchas is to keep bots out and they do a pretty good job at it
cinder patio
I mean, I guess you can, get the image and try to read it somehow... but the text is made so it's hard to read by an AI. Try to see if https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/ocr will manage to read those characters
quartz kindle
yeah but if it has a built-in way why not use it lul
digital ibex
thats really smart
wow
i wonder how they do that, anyone have any idea lul
the image text thingy

Does anyone know if theyres a tag like this in HTML? If so whats the tag name?-
misty sigil

epic thankyou!

what lib
Were you talking to me?
shy turret
userid = 276497792526974996;
console.log(await client.users.fetch(userid));
returns

but
userid = 276497792526974996;
console.log(await client.users.fetch(userid).username);
is not working..
misty sigil
you cant await a part of a promise iirc
cinder patio
^ yeah that
and also IDs are strings in javascript because they are too big to be a number. I am not sure how you get that result in the first example
shy turret
undefined
shy turret
i think i found a solution but it's kinda dumb lmao
hm let me try that
yep it works, thanks
i figured i can also put () around the await client.users.fetch()
nope nvm
oh wait i forgot await lmao
how do you async eval()
sTaCkoVeRfLoW https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56187117/await-is-only-valid-in-async-function-eval-in-async i need it to return something so this isnt helpful

TypeError: client.guilds.cache.size is not a function
sudden geyser
Can you show us your source code and where the error is originating
earnest phoenix
I sent the source bin
sudden geyser
ah
Are you forgetting your commas to separate each element in the array?
Also you don't need to require Client at the top of your file since you aren't making a new instance of it.
misty sigil
also
sudden geyser
And you should set the time you change the status to something longer.
misty sigil
5000 is very close to the ratelimit
sudden geyser
Like a minute or two
misty sigil
if not at/below the ratelimit
earnest phoenix
You're right
misty sigil
make it longer
earnest phoenix
And what's wrong with 5000?
misty sigil
the ratelimits
slender thistle
It's only a second over the ratelimit for status changes
misty sigil
close
sudden geyser
It's very low for what you should reasonably set it to. Although Discord does not have its rate limits clearly defined rate limits are not something you should try to get close to, so I recommend a minute or two.
earnest phoenix
Okay I didn't think of that, thanks

``` if (message.content.startsWith(${prefix}lock)){
let args = message.content.substring(prefix.length).split(" ");
const channels = message.guild.channels.cache.filter(ch => ch.type !== 'category');
if (args[0] === 'lock') {
channels.forEach(channel => {
channel.updateOverwrite(message.guild.roles.everyone, {
SEND_MESSAGES: false

channel.setName(channel.name += `๐`)

}
)
})
return message.channel.send('unlocked all channels')
}
}```
i have this script works 100% but i dont want it to lock all channels i want it to lock specific channel
Ex: lock #development
cobalt spruce
what i replace forEach with?
quartz kindle
nothing
forEach is for looping over many channels
if you want just one channel there is no need for looping
just updateOverwrite on the channel directly
cobalt spruce
if (message.content.startsWith(`${prefix}lock`)){
let args = message.content.substring(prefix.length).split(" ");
const filter = message.guild.channels.cache.find(ch => ch.type !== 'category');

filter(channel => {
channel.updateOverwrite(message.guild.roles.everyone, {
SEND_MESSAGES: false

channel.setName(channel.name += `๐`)

}).then(() => {
channel.setName(channel.name.replace('๐', ''))
}
)
})
return message.channel.send('unlocked all channels')
}
}```now?
am dum
quartz kindle
google how .find works
also, you need to use args to know which channel you want
or even easier, use channel mentions
channel = message.mentions.channels.first()
channel.updateOverwrite(...)
copper cradle
then probably sit back and read your code, figure out what everything does, learn a bit more about the language and the library you're using and then finish your project
cobalt spruce
if (message.content.startsWith(`${prefix}lock`)){
let args = message.content.substring(prefix.length).split(" ");
channel = message.mentions.channels.first()
if(!channel[1]) return message.channel.send('Please include a name for the channel after the command')
const filter = message.guild.channels.cache.find(ch => ch.type !== 'category');
if (args[0] === 'lock') {
filter(channel => {
channel.updateOverwrite(message.guild.roles.everyone, {
SEND_MESSAGES: false
}).then(() => {
channel.setName(channel.name += `๐`)
})
})
return message.channel.send('locked all channels');
} else if (args[0] === 'lockoff') {
filter(channel => {
channel.updateOverwrite(message.guild.roles.everyone, {
SEND_MESSAGES: true
}).then(() => {
channel.setName(channel.name.replace('๐', ''))
}
)

return message.channel.send('unlocked all channels')

@quartz kindle some progress?dont forget the let

remove it

for a message delete event
what should i pass?
i want to get the person who deleted the message, the message, and who wrote it
small ivy
umm need help with smthing if anyone could help it would be awsome
so I am trying to ad a background to my bot page
<body style="background-image:url('https://imgur.com/XI6CMFz');">
</body>```but it not work
sudden geyser
@drifting wedge you're looking for the on_message_delete event (discord.py you're using I think). You already have the message as the first parameter is the message that was deleted if it's in the cache. If you need every deleted message, use the on_raw_message_delete event instead.
If you want who deleted the message, you'll probably need to look in the audit logs. You can get the author of the message message.author I think.
- on_message_delete: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_message_delete
- on_raw_message_delete: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_raw_message_delete
drifting wedge
whats this error "raise HTTPException(r, data)
discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In embed.fields.0.name: Must be 256 or fewer in length."
earnest phoenix
how can i distinguish between a member and a bot.
example this bot: ${message.guild.members.cache.filter(m => m.user.bot).size}
what should i do for just the member
misty sigil
message.guild.members.cache.filter(m => !m.user.bot).size possibly
sudden geyser
@drifting wedge the embed name field must be 256 or fewer in length
quartz kindle
daily reminder the above method only counts online members/bots
just in case you wonder why you get inaccurate numbers
misty sigil
^ unless you fetched them all
quartz kindle
collection.filter returns a collection
digital ibex
so, wouldnโt it be .length ?
dreamy thistle
can i use 1 single webhook to multiple things?
misty sigil
yes
misty sigil
depends what webhook you mean actually

oh
drifting wedge
something really f'ed up my atom
its like check marks
i really have no idea wtf is going on
unreal tapir
Code where I put in 'ping' and message.channel.send('Pong!')
with the prefix ?
Anyone know how to fix this?
the client login is blurred out by the way
torn ravine
Explain it better?
drifting wedge
Explain it better?
@torn ravine me:
its like instead of running the code
it shows like a green check mark
and the code doesnt run
unreal tapir
if(command === 'ping'){
message.channel.send('Pong!');
} else if (command == 'youtube'){
message.channel.send(command with a link)
}
});
unreal tapir
it to work
quartz kindle
it should work?
unreal tapir
torn ravine
did you run your program?
unreal tapir
says its online
torn ravine
try changing command to message.content
quartz kindle
the code looks correct tho
torn ravine
so js const command = message.content
you really think so tim?
also you should use a switch before you add more commands
marsh glen
if (message.content == `${prefix}youtube `) {
return message.channel.send("your_txt")
}
``` @unreal tapiror you can change what you defined command as to message.content
sudden chasm
fs.writeFile('file.txt', variable.1, (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('Sub count saved.');
});```
I used this, but somehow it doesnt work, any help?wtaf what am i doing wrong
misty sigil
what do you wanna do with the text file
misty sigil
why not store it as variable.1 then
unreal tapir
wooden ember
Help :KEKW:
same lol
torn ravine
@unreal tapir change what you defined command as to message.content
unreal tapir
confused
torn ravine
const command = message.content
torn ravine
what?
torn ravine
by restarting the bot
misty sigil
by putting the files on the hosting
then you restart the bot
then the bot comes online
unreal tapir
explain
misty sigil
do you not have hosting?
unreal tapir
no
torn ravine
I highly suggest it
unreal tapir
ill go to botghost
misty sigil
torn ravine
botghost isn't hosting
misty sigil
botghost is just a great way to leak your token imo
torn ravine
where do they even store your token
unreal tapir
idk
misty sigil
where do they even store your token
@torn ravine in a sql injectable database
still merlin
probably in a json database 
torn ravine
HAHAHHHHAhAHHAhaHahAHHA
misty sigil
bcuz theres no time for security when you've gotta run wix for bots
torn ravine
