I’m under 18 so patreon if it sends to PayPal, will need like bank approval

@rose warren PayPal .me?
rose warren
Yeah. I use patreon but they take killer fees
drifting wedge
Heroku is not stable
@earnest phoenix yes it is
earnest phoenix
What
drifting wedge
I use it
rose warren
Heroku is not ideal but it's ok when you're starting out
earnest phoenix
Using it doesn't mean it's stable

hello can somebody help me with this "ok can somebody tell me the html code to add background image to description ?"
rose warren
But definitely move away from it soon
drifting wedge
Heroku is not ideal but it’s ok when you’re starting out
@rose warren fair, my heroku can hold like bot playing music at once in 50 servers
But o think my Ffmpeg dodged

i have to buy raspberry pi to host my bot. after that, i need a fast wifi provider.

earnest phoenix
Heroku wasn't meant for bot hosting, that's why you should move on

because i can't control my bot, can't see the log in heroku

heroku batter than glitch

yes
earnest phoenix
Heroku has a lot of memory leaks, and also can't install a lot of packages
pearl trail
but i don't know if it just happen to my bot or not. it restart once per day.
drifting wedge
Heroku has a lot of memory leaks, and also can’t install a lot of packages
@earnest phoenix wuts a mem leak?
pearl trail
so all the custom prefix is gone.
rose warren
so all the custom prefix is gone.
@pearl trail save custom prefixes in a db
earnest phoenix
Reasons why you shouldn't use Heroku for your bot:
- Bots are not what the platform is designed for. Heroku is designed to provide web servers (like Django, Flask, etc). This is why they give you a domain name and open a port on their local emulator.
- Heroku's environment is heavily containerized, making it significantly underpowered for a standard use case.
- Heroku's environment is volatile. In order to handle the insane amount of users trying to use it for their own applications, Heroku will dispose your environment every time your application dies unless you pay.
- And due to a lot of other issues....
drifting wedge
@pearl trail save custom prefixes in a db
@rose warren JSON FTW
pearl trail
i'm still searching how to save custom prefix in db 
earnest phoenix
Heroku doesn't support saving stuff
rose warren
Json can corrupt
drifting wedge
I’m joking
rose warren

earnest phoenix
Heroku doesn't have support for external databases, that's why it doesn't save anything
pearl trail
json can corrupt 
drifting wedge
I use humandb, i lock some kids in my basement and make them remember my bots database stuff

I use humandb, i lock some kids in my basement and make them remember my bots database stuff
@drifting wedge sounds like a cheap alternative
earnest phoenix
JSONs are prone to corruption because of so many read and writes, the bigger it gets the worse

MongoDB is the best database for a bot

MongoDB is the best database for a bot

or just don’t use heroku :)
earnest phoenix
Mongo atlas is what most of us use
rose warren
You can use mongo on heroku too tho?
pearl trail
my bot's total size is 125mb ;-;
earnest phoenix
But atlas version of mongo requires clusters which might require money, there's a free cluster but not much to it

oh so thats why it aint working

@carmine summit message.channel.type returns dm for dms but it will return smth else for group dms

you can't invite a bot to a group dm anyway
@pale vessel you can if the bot is weird enough

it's like calling js compiled
earnest phoenix
What is the fucking difference between compiling and parsing
They're both just converting one thing into another
compiling is translating into machine code
i.e. you compile c#, c++ etc.
but markdown to html compiling..?
pale vessel
no
earnest phoenix
it isn't compiling
pale vessel
it's parsing
sudden geyser
I'd say compiling would be correct in that statement, but there are better words to choose from (parse).

they have their own version of markdown why won't they have a parser

galaxygate is also a good option for vps's

real question out here how do you handle a database 24/7 if you host a bot
is there any providers that is sort of "all in one"

real question out here how do you handle a database 24/7 if you host a bot
@earnest phoenix Firebase has 24/7 database solution
you can also host a database server alongside your bot

personal suggestions overhere, if you want to bother with SQL, postgresql is def the winner here, if not there are nosql databases i.e. mongo
currently I use Redis

i'd personally suggest going for postgresql but pick whatever suits you the most

i use it more for client side
the only back-end thing i have is a node.js server and a database on firebade

Still "development"
earnest phoenix
also discord bot development is not as intense as making apps
opal plank
but any how, right tool for right job, langs have limitations and their pros/cons. generalising is bad, thats about it
earnest phoenix
so for making a bot they are all just as good
writing a bot in asm is actually doable
if you know asm
properly
since a bot is a glorified print statement with a database

Make your code sync

And add the connect thing BEFORE you fetch databases

const uri = "mongodb+srv://cwicks:NO@cluster0000.knta7.gcp.mongodb.net/Cluster0000?retryWrites=true&w=majority";

clientDB.connect(err => {
const collection = clientDB.db("test").collection("devices");
// perform actions on the collection object
clientDB.close();
})
const db = clientDB.db('db')
that'll be executed before
or await them
@restive furnace who really puts setup stuff inside an async function
Put an await before clientDB.connect(...)
That's not an async function I'm 100% sure

is there any alternative to json? that has less chance of getting corrupted, no dbs

Properly handling open/writes is the only option in that case

Then use a db?

As long as you don't open it a whole fuckton of times

Which can be corrupted as well.

so everyhing can be corrupted if not handled properly
misty sigil
It won’t corrupt as easily as a json file

json is just a formatting, you're effectively still saving data in plaintext

handled properly just check all input/outputs for a json error and throw them "away" if so
or throw an error

Use setInterval to schedule something to be run every X milliseconds. See https://nodejs.org/api/timers.html#timers_setinterval_callback_delay_args
So, in your case, pass a function that'll change the activity to something else and pass as the argument the equivalent of 20 seconds. However, I recommend you change that 20 seconds to something longer, like a minute of 2
