google your library and then add input sanitization onto it
stark abyss
hmm my library?
earnest phoenix
yes
stark abyss
djs?
earnest phoenix
the library you use to connect to postgres
coarse topaz
I don't understand 
It's weird because it was working perfectly fine some weeks ago without this option being enabled
uncut river
someone @ me if they know how to change the buttons on my bot page with CSS
earnest phoenix
It's weird because it was working perfectly fine some weeks ago without this opt...
because the change happened a few weeks ago and intents are now requires if you want to do anything member related
uncut river
and a quick guide for editing other elements, like i have the inspector menu, just what am i supposed to look at for editing
earnest phoenix
try it and see
but yes that should work
just selecting the classes and overwriting their properties
narrow marten
how do I change my bot's bg color
earnest phoenix
same answer i just gave above
coarse topaz
because the change happened a few weeks ago and intents are now requires if you ...
O h
I see.. Thanks! Though I don't get how I'm supposed to include this new function in my code yet x)
earnest phoenix
the snippet lite gave in the message i linked are the client options you're supposed to use
the client options go into the client constructor
google might clear up your confusion
i would link you resources but im on mobile just typing is a pain in the ass
uncut river
preview doesn't seem to work though
narrow marten
uh any code snippet to make the background color black?
earnest phoenix
lol
stark abyss
so I think I understand it now, for discord bot use it doesn't seems like something super dangerous to worry about. Even so I am gonna go ahead and "santize?" 
it. I am looking at validator npm rn its kinda confusing on what I should use tho
earnest phoenix
you can lose all of your data
prime glacier
earnest phoenix
your users can leak it
prime glacier
how can i do that
earnest phoenix
by sql injection; they're injecting their own statements that can make your db go boom
earnest phoenix
the first answer i found for pg input sanitization links to an SO thread and if you scroll down you can see how you can use prepared statements that automatically sanitize your input
stark abyss
alright i did search that and it wasall php and eventually i came to validator but ill look at that
coarse topaz
i would link you resources but im on mobile just typing is a pain in the ass
I understand, don't worry; it's just that I'm kinda nubie at programming so I'm not used to program new things at all x)
So, in my case, which flag/option and how should I use in my code to make my command work correctly? And I'm sorry if I'm bothering you now, lol
earnest phoenix
i think its SERVER_MEMBERS or something like that, again check the message i linked
it has a link to a valid list of intents you can use
you basically put intents you need in an array
stark abyss
@earnest phoenix Not very familiar with sql or psql or db at all, perhaps you could tell me some of the special characters that should be filtered?
I am gonna try to use this thing https://www.npmjs.com/package/validator
limpid bear
i want the bot to do "variable%"
but i dont know how do get the variable and the % in the same message
lucid prawn
this did work
if(message.content.startsWith(prefix + "cutieness" )){
if (message.channel.nsfw === true) return;
else message.reply('Sorry this is not a nsfw channel!')
this did not work
if (message.channel.nsfw === false) return;
else message.reply("This is a Nsfw")
}
how do i fix it
opal plank
I am gonna try to use this thing https://www.npmjs.com/package/validator
wtf is this garbage
wtf
stark abyss

opal plank
stark abyss
that one seems somewhat useful does it not?
opal plank
if(/@.*./.test(string)) return true;
but without installing a whole package bloating your code
lucid prawn
earnest phoenix
@stark abyss i dont understand why you need a third party lib when the one you're using is probably already capable of prepared statements and sanitization
stark abyss
oh
stark abyss
ok
limpid bear
how do i put a variable and text in the same message
stark abyss
Ah I think I understand now
i am not sure what you mean but
let user = "idfk"
message.channel.send(` Welcome to this server ${user}`)```Thanks cry, I think I understand how this works now. I should be able to find the right resources now. I am gonna sleep now lmao gn

@lucid prawn what do u actually want to do?
do just want to check if the channel is nsfw?
stark widget
hmm
delicate shore
earnest phoenix
is it possible to install opus without root perms?
stark widget
so u just need to check if the channel is nsfw, if it is, then u send an embed
and then u can put an else statement
south cedar
How do you get a bot to tack a % to the end of a number that varies based on user inputs
lucid prawn
if(message.content.startsWith(prefix + "fuck" )){
if (message.channel.nsfw === true) return;
else message.reply('Sorry this is not a nsfw channel!')

is it possible to install opus without root perms?

else message.reply('Sorry this is not a nsfw channel!')
}
if(!message.channel.nsfw) return
if (message.channel.nsfw === false) return;
else message.reply("This is a Nsfw")
Like I want the bot to display a % at the end of this
stark widget
rn u are checking if the message is prefix+fuck, then if it not, u are checking if the channel is not nsfw, and it is amess
earnest phoenix
is it possible to install opus without root perms?
stark widget
ok, im back
limpid bear
how do i put a '%' at the end of final.
stark widget
@lucid prawn first of, check if the the message is prefix+ call, then in the {} brackets, u can do another check if the channel is nsfw or not
earnest phoenix
@limpid bear https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String
stark widget
@lucid prawn this is how if checks work:
if(condition){//do something with it
}
earnest phoenix
if () { //Statement
//Statement body
}
lucid prawn
<@!390690088348024843> this is how if checks work:
```js
if(condition){//do some...
put that in my code like this
if(condition){
if(message.content.startsWith(prefix + "fuck" )){
if (message.channel.nsfw === true) return;
else message.reply('Sorry this is not a nsfw channel!')
}
if(!message.channel.nsfw) return
if (message.channel.nsfw === false) return;
else message.reply("This is a Nsfw")
}
i know js
stark widget
then why are u messing up
earnest phoenix
From the look of the code, no you dont.
lucid prawn
i just not did that before
earnest phoenix
Just learn how syntax work or the language work
stark widget
@lucid prawn learn atleast basic js
earnest phoenix
And you will know how to fix your code
stark widget
that would help
stark widget
And you will know how to fix your code
ye

the command worked when it no nsfw
it did not work when i turn it on
@stark widget

@earnest phoenix do you know a way to get opus without root access?
Uhh
Idk how opus work

earnest phoenix
I need some help whenever i close the debugging console my bot goes offline is there a way to keep the bot online all the time????
I am using atom to code my bot
and whenever the python console closes the bot's commands don't work and it goes offline would i need a website??
proven ivy
and whenever the python console closes the bot's commands don't work and it goes...
i think your console is your terminal?
wwhere you started running the bot?
earnest phoenix
how would i change this is my first time using atom
so idk
when you turn off your pc, does your OS still run? obviously not, in the same way if you close the program that is running your bot, it won't stay on
proven ivy
how would i change this is my first time using atom
console = core of your bot

so i always have to have it open

if you close it it is ded

Can anyone suggest me a free 24/7 bot hosting for discord
oh just noticed your message, you can do it on glitch btw, but it sometimes need to reactive by opening the project again (around every 2h-3days)
put this on server.js before the token part
setInterval(async () => {
await fetch("https:// (your project name) .glitch.me").then(console.log("Pinged!"));
}, 300000 <you can change this to any number 1-300000, but better 200000+ for no logs spam>);```if u're taking the risk tho..

you could do github student too, i think it gets you 100$ for digital ocean or azure

how to tag a user how joins server by bot

in discord.js you can just parse the member object to a message and it will mention the user
atomic vault
we cant tag like @ name

u tagged someone
lusty quest
channel.send(`${user_object}`) will mention the user
limpid bear
lusty quest
you use strings. javascript just joins strings
if you want to use them in math convert them to a number
atomic vault
use int
limpid bear
how do i use int
devout frost
parseInt(args[i]) is how you parse one of the arguments to an int
atomic vault
int(var)
pale vessel
use Number() in your case
limpid bear
i used number on the args. but same results.
lusty quest
well you parse them again into a string
send(Number(args[0])+Number(args[1])+Number(args[2]))
I'm not really good with databases but is requesting a guild config from mongodb something ok to do every time a message is sent?
nope
green kestrel
Is it a bird 🐦
Is it a plane ✈️
No it's a superbrain (8) 🧠
earnest phoenix
cache your results
green kestrel
Database are designed for lots of queries and smart databases cache anyway. Doesn't mongo do this ?
If you're also using e.g. redis for your cache that is working the same way
earnest phoenix
so you're saying mongodb caches it ?
green kestrel
I don't use mongo, I'd assume so? That was my question
lusty quest
no mongodb doesnt cache (only keys)
limpid bear
ok look. the code i sent is an error message. and the problem was args 0 was not more args 1. but it says that it is.
earnest phoenix
ok
regardless whether the database caches or not you shave off extra time to access the database when you keep a local cache
lusty quest
i recomend using a map. i have currently a local running redis server for caching
green kestrel
I locally cache the results of complex queries only
But I'm using a mysql database and it does cache very effectively, for a database on localhost you won't see a performance issue with this even with tens of thousands of servers if done right
white mesa
green kestrel
For the local cache I use std::unordered_map
earnest phoenix
yeah for localhost it scales super well, there's practically zero latency
it's unrealistic for large bots to use the same machine for their shards and to keep a database though
lusty quest
you could still use a local cache tho
earnest phoenix
yeah
green kestrel
My system expects that each server has a local instance of a master-master mysql cluster on it
But I won't have to scale out until at least 200k servers
Which really is huge bot territory imho
lusty quest
this is a nice thing with mongodb, you can super easy scale it *vertically
earnest phoenix
it's best to do optimization as soon as possible rather than letting it be an afterthought imo
i was going to say this earlier but i forgot what i was going to say lol
lusty quest
well most people who dont put efford into scaling Mysql servers properly tend to just bruteforce it with more powerful hardware
green kestrel
Yes, however avoid premature optimisation... Does js have a proper runtime profiler?
I use valgrind to profile my c++ and determine where optimisation is best placed
earnest phoenix
im fairly certain it does
green kestrel
Every interpreted language really is written in C or C++
But tbh V8 is a memory hog
worldly peak
how to make bot
green kestrel
CPU efficient for a js interpreter but at the cost of ram
worldly peak
what
green kestrel
If you want CPU and memory efficient js at the cost of compatibility look at duktape.js
lusty quest
i think about switching to C# from js but its so much stuff i have to port over
earnest phoenix
id say it's worth it
the net core, or rather just net now, garbage cleaner is insanely good
lusty quest
i know its worth but so much stuff to re learn
green kestrel
My bot is currently on 3gb ram
lusty quest
barely 100MB but with about 300 Guilds
green kestrel
You can get similar efficiency with well written C#
lusty quest

Aegis is an odd library, it'll take 200mb just to start up with no guilds but memory increases super slowly, and linearly with guilds
43000 guilds and 3.3 million users is 3gb for me
lusty quest
hmm. switched a while ago to Discord.js-light and it cut down Memory usage by a lot (used to run with about 200-300MB ram while serving 80 Guilds)
green kestrel
There's CPU oddities though caused by a library bug

If i were to rewrite my bot i would probably use java... But I'm fine with eris and node js currently
green kestrel
ew java
thats like saying "if i was going to rebuild my brick home i'd use sugar cubes"
each to their own i guess!
earnest phoenix
and why do u hate java ?
green kestrel
i dont hate java - i hate the way its taught academically in colleges, universities.
i see very little efficient well written considerate java that isnt a memory hog, because of stupid practices
java can be done well, it doesnt happen often because of the culture around it
lets not include android dev, theyre forced to be efficient there, more so than desktop/enterprise/server
when i learned it, there was a culture around it that went like this:
"java has a virtual machine, you should imagine that this machine has infinite ram, capability for threads, and cpu, and scaling what you write to fit on real hardware is the job of a systems architect"
typical fortune 500 thinking.
it breeds bad design and antipatterns
but this isnt the fault of the language, but the fault of teachers
it also used to be the case, many years ago, that java WAS inefficient no matter what you did because the garbage collector sucked ass... thats not been an issue since uh... java 1.8, a loooong time ago
earnest phoenix
I learn by myself mostly and java seems really easy to me cuz i know basic Js
green kestrel
js is nothing like java
the syntax seems similar, same as it seems similar to C++, they both have classes, use semicolons to terminate lines, they have the same flow structures but both demand architecturally different code to work right
if you wrote java like you write js, you'd be in a pickle in no time flat
and vice versa
earnest phoenix
Most of languages have similar syntax to C++
green kestrel
most languages in the same syntax family do yes
tranquil drum
"java has a virtual machine, you should imagine that this machine has infinite r...
when I was taking courses a couple years ago they still emphasized the importance of efficiency and optimizations even on a vm
green kestrel
then you have things like python, BASIC, erlang, perl, etc, that look nothing like C
@tranquil drum good, it seems android has rubbed off on them then, they dont teach that shit no more 😄
at least not where you learned
tranquil drum
Haha the same professors teach lower level stuff too
earnest phoenix
w3schools seems pretty good for java 
green kestrel
w3schools seems pretty good for.... uh..... hmm..... accessing when the official reference for your language is down?
tranquil drum
I guess I'm trying to defend java a little bit since it's my favorite server language along with rust
green kestrel
one of my friends swears by java, loves it
rustic nova
Did someone say Java?
green kestrel
we have debates about it often 😛
no go back to sleep Aurel ... j/k 😄
yeah, im glad to hear that people arent teaching java wrong any more
rustic nova
no go back to sleep Aurel ... j/k 😄
earnest phoenix
well i think you just had a bad experience while learning java. But the language itself seems good
green kestrel
ive been a C++ person for decades, but C++ has its flaws, iteration time (time waiting for compiles) is the worst there is
with C++ its like you save tons of time at runtime, but at the cost of sat twiddling your thumbs when you could be coding, so you'd best get the code right lol
tranquil drum
I think java's great, I just wish reflections and some other typing were more straightforward
tranquil drum

that's why I like rust so much haha

true but the code you have to write just looks arcane
green kestrel
yes, for the bot part
and PHP for its api and dashboard because i like to hear people shout REEEEEEE
tranquil drum
yikes
green kestrel
indeed, but its worth noting that a discord bot spends 99% of its time i/o bound
the other 1% parsing json
so your biggest saving from C++ is memory efficiency, if done right, not CPU
green kestrel
so yeah heres the benefit in terms of memory use, each cluster has 5500 guilds and uses only 400-500mb ram

im on aegis.cpp
tranquil drum
I'm also on jda and my shards use ~200MB
green kestrel
a total of 43000 guilds, 3.3 million users, god knows how many millions of roles, hundreds of thousands of channels, all cached in ram as std::unordered_map
tranquil drum
did you write your own discord client?
green kestrel
its designed to scale outwards, i can take each of these cluster processes and in theory run it on a completely standalone machine, it doesnt need a central controlling process
no i used aegis.cpp which is based on asio and websocketpp, but afterwards i became a library dev on it, to add my own features directly to it e.g. cluster support
i didnt want to have to maintain my own fork of aegis so i spoke to the dev and got commit access
tranquil drum
I'm jealous, I'm using tcp to share some state across shards
green kestrel
i share as little state as possible, and it store it in the mysql db
the mysql db is my coordinating data set, that way i can in theory just scale out the mysql cluster and it 'just works'
but im about 150k servers away from having to scale out yet and i need more funds to be able to do that
@swift umbra sure, thats the intent, but most libs dont easily allow it because they design with a central control process
and the central control process might talk to the shard processes over ipc such as a unix socket, or a localhost tcp socket
eliminating the central controlling process or structure makes it easier to do
at the expense of making the bot harder to code initially
tranquil drum
I guess I got lucky with jda being able to shard across servers
green kestrel
for example aegis, as it stood when i started using it, only supported single process sharding, each shard is a new websocket connection and a member of the same asio thread pool in the same process
the clustering feature lets me split it out, so i have 4 shards per cluster, and 8 clusters for a total of 32 shards
i'd advise getting sharding working long before even 1000 servers
that way when you need it, youre not left panicking, just flip the switch and shard
its usually not as simple as just 'enable it in djs'
stuff like getting user counts and stuff only accesses the local vars?
instead of the shard broadcast ?
the way ive done this is kept shards from talking to each other as much as possible
e.g. shard 2 never needs access to a user record in the cache of shard 4
green kestrel
oh and when you get to sharding.... one thing to remember that trips people up
tranquil drum
but a cache on shard 2 can't be accessed by shard 4
green kestrel
ALL DMs come in on shard 0 😄
tranquil drum
the JDA instance is only the instance of that vm
green kestrel
not a problem for me as my bot doesnt accept user dm's, but if your bot does... need to be prepared for that
i only send DMs and thats done via REST so not an issue
one physical process per shard?
that sounds a bit painful tbh
weary quiver
Pls help what to do now
tranquil drum
right, but if your shards are on different machines then you can't share the cache between them
You installed discord.js
green kestrel
how does it share cache then, shared memory?
weary quiver
@tranquil drum how to delete it
tranquil drum
npm uninstall discord.js
weary quiver
Oh thx
tranquil drum
how does it share cache then, shared memory?
I don't think it does if you're on different machines
green kestrel
what no love for discord.js version 11 
ignore me... sarcasm
tranquil drum
that's why I had to set up a tcp socket

if you're in the right directory then you can just run npm install again
weary quiver
Ok
tranquil drum
<@541763812676861952> does heroku has private project option ?
free apps on heroku are publicly accessible, but the code is private
heroku does give you a free subdomain on herokuapp.com though

tranquil drum
it's like a first year discount thing
tranquil drum
<@133379387142701056> but how to use heroku and host for 24/7 ?
You have to pay for the hobby dynos
earnest phoenix
🤔 wdym ? @tranquil drum
tranquil drum
they have a dyno tier called "Hobby" which is on 24/7
earnest phoenix
@tranquil drum link ?
tranquil drum
free dynos sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity
there should be a pricing link on the site
atomic vault
<@133379387142701056> but how to use heroku and host for 24/7 ?
if you use github
you have to creat a Procfile file
in that if you put web:
then it is only on when you open your subdomain page
if you put worker:
then it on 24/7

though no clue how that is done
what do you need?
atomic vault
what happen?
rustic nova
Ids should be the emoji ids, correct?
rustic nova
yeah you should be able to iterate through them if you want to store the ids
through what teemaw said
tranquil drum
Pick any way of iterating through a List you want
tranquil drum
You can’t do that since getReactions() returns a List<MessageReaction> instead of a MessageReaction
You need to iterate over the list to access the MessageReaction
Check out forEach
It’s a method of List
rustic nova
Something like
getMessage().getReactions().forEach(reaction -> {
long emojiID = reaction.getReactionEmote().getIdLong();
// Do whatever you want with emojiID
});
emojiID is then the ID of each Emoji from the reactions of the message

It’s cause your repo has the option enabled to block commits that reveal your email

i just get a 2nd 5$ VPS and install Mongodb on it. then i launch them together with my existing Node in Clustered mode and im done
green kestrel
thats great, if you use mongo
rustic nova
I actually tried using Mongodb, got the installation instructions, read the docs while it was installing, then immediately removed it again because i didn't understand anything 
not ready to move from mysql yet
lusty quest
its simple. install docker then run the MongoDB container. saved me so much headache
rustic nova
even if mysql is a pain, it's the most comfortable form of database for me
yeah it's not the installation, it's how to use it
green kestrel
there isnt really need to move from or to mysql/mongo, pick the right one for your use case first and stick with it 🙂
tranquil drum
Mongo selectors are sick
green kestrel
and theres nothing to say you cant use both!
tranquil drum
I use them for couchdb 🙂
lusty quest
well i moved from Mysql to Mongo, and im still fine with it
green kestrel
mongodb is essentially a key/multi-value store
not an ACID compliant transactional db
they have different use cases
tranquil drum
But the selectors though
lusty quest
Mysql does some stuff better than Mongo, one good example is caching and you dont need to run duplicated keys bcs of linking Tables. Mongo on the other hand is not bound to a Schema
cursive forge
How would I make a help cmd? using js
green kestrel
if you were able to move from mongo to sql without having to re-engineer much or anything, you probably were using mysql as a k/v store e.g. like myobj = mysql->get("some key");
lusty quest
ive wrote myself a migration tool that worked but i guess everyone who reads the code gets a stroke
green kestrel
@cursive forge what have you tried?
vague imp
I shifted from MySQL to mongo
cursive forge
I am trying to make it a function
vague imp
It was much better for me then sql
lusty quest
https://discordjs.guide/command-handling/adding-features.html#a-dynamic-help-command @cursive forge give this a try
cursive forge
I don't got a command handler lol
lusty quest
without you could make it manually, but i suggest getting one and then make a dynamic help command
the discordjs.guide also got some help for making command handler
tranquil drum
Oh wait I thought bots could use all emotes
lusty quest
i dont think its possible. since you need to know the uid of the emote (if its a custom emote)
you could probably use a Server to set there your custom emotes and then use the emote on other servers
devout frost
Well you can only use emotes where your bot has access to the guild
tranquil drum
You could probably do JDA.getEmoteById() to see if it’s cached
Although you could also just try to react with the emote and handle the error of the bot can’t
earnest phoenix
I'm trying to draw a simple line chart of my bots ping on node js. Is there any simple API or library i can use?
lusty quest
chart.js
earnest phoenix
its an npm library right?
lusty quest
yes
earnest phoenix
ok.. ill try using it
still breach
I can rename the ticket 2 times, and when I try it for the 3rd time, it doesn’t work.
Eventually, 8 minutes later, it renames to “3”
Does this have anything to do with discord itself, host, code, idk?
devout frost
You get ratelimited, you can only change the channel name twice a 10 minutes
knotty obsidian
When I try to hide the channel it just flickers and doesn't hide, anyone know the problem?
channel.createPermissionOverride(event.getGuild().getPublicRole()).setDeny(Permission.VIEW_CHANNEL).queue();
(Everyone is the server can see the flickering, including people with and without roles.)
