the best way to host any bot it's with a VPS

mellow kelp
calls my parents
quartz kindle
Glitch and heroku give you 500mb afaik
mellow kelp
DAD I NEED THE CREDIT CARD
mellow kelp
so it has more features and stuff?
quartz kindle
You have full admin/root access
earnest phoenix
Repl gives me 512 MB which is more than enough
mellow kelp
poggers
earnest phoenix
And I don't plan on making a big bot
mellow kelp
im gonna try google cloud then
quartz kindle
Can even install windows on it
sand walrus
static
mellow kelp
hope i make it before i run out of dynos
earnest phoenix
GOOGLE LITERALLY LETS ME RENT A COMPUTER
mellow kelp
quartz kindle
Thata what a vps is
earnest phoenix
???
earnest phoenix
DA FUCK
crimson vapor
virtual private server
river peak
earnest phoenix
Computers are expensive they can't give a free forever computer each to millions of users
(that's probably why credit card)
mellow kelp
apparently its to verify that im not a bot
quartz kindle
Google charges you for bandwidth tho, they only give you 1gb free per month
earnest phoenix
reCAPTCHA is hard to bypass but it's possible
sand walrus
i have a downloaded image created with photoshop and i create the command where compare the image
quartz kindle
Still, my bot was paying like 50 cents per month on 1k servers
earnest phoenix
I'm barely even released yet
Two servers, ones my normal one and the other is for testing
Wait I just realized I haven't put my server on DSL
crimson vapor
Still, my bot was paying like 50 cents per month on 1k servers
because you are big brain developer
earnest phoenix
how does google expect heavy resource usage from a d.js-light dev
quartz kindle
That was before djslight
My bot was using 300-400mb ram and crashing due to out of memory
Thats why i moved out of google
earnest phoenix
my bot uses a maximum of 70mb ram
recommends us to use google
tells his story of moving out of google
quartz kindle
Yes
quartz kindle
Because paid vps > google >>> glitch/heroku/replit
earnest phoenix
do you guys remember that story about how a single recursive function racked up $75000 for the GCP project of a company few days before launch
Google was kind enough to forgive them for it. ALL OF IT. ALL SEVENTY FIVE FUCKING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF IT
quartz kindle
Lmfao
earnest phoenix
Because paid vps > google >>> glitch/heroku/replit
you got most parts wrong
here's your fixed code:
google > digitalocean >>>> any vps provider >>>>> self host >>>>>>>>> replit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> glitch ">".repeat(Infinity); heroku
quartz kindle
Lmao
hollow sedge
That's why you set a budget
quartz kindle
google is not better than private vps providers
earnest phoenix
They did set a budget and they got an email and nothing else happened
quartz kindle
Not in terms of price value
earnest phoenix
google has firebase tho
hollow sedge
Oh lol
crimson vapor
contabo is pretty good
chilly bison
aws is good
crimson vapor
its a cheap company
earnest phoenix
successfully started vps war time to close discord and go code
crimson vapor
like 10usd for a decent vps
vague imp
especially in terms of pricing
quartz kindle
aws is like google, both are stupidly expensive compared to private vps providers who offer the same features
chilly bison
only $70 per month for a 1-core 5MB RAM compute instance with 20KB port
vague imp
lol
hollow sedge

earnest phoenix
how do I set this up in node-fetch.
i guess not
body: {
grant_type: "client_credentials"
}
The body must be in json
so
fetch('url', { body: JSON.stringify({ grant_type: 'client_credentials' }) })
im trying
hollow sedge
Formatting 😩
mellow kelp
bruh yes
hollow sedge
Will that even work
mellow kelp
its just a quick reference
hollow sedge
I don't understand how that would work
mellow kelp
it also hurts my eyes
earnest phoenix
i am getting a 415 status code error.
hollow sedge
Why do you need to stringify only the grant_type
mellow kelp
yea true
earnest phoenix
hollow sedge
If you had to convert it to JSON, wouldn't you have to do it for the entire body?
I mean I could see this either way actually
Yeah, you're right
I just checked
earnest phoenix
The request body data's method of transmission IS JSON not for individual properties
how the hell are you gonna be sending an object over the air
hollow sedge
You know what
quartz kindle
The docs are not asking for json
hollow sedge
then don't
earnest phoenix
And I cant sit on my pc
hollow sedge
Idk, there's probably a way
earnest phoenix
i have the micro usb or whatever it's called port for my phone
await fetch("https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token", {
method: "post",
grant_type: "client_credentials",
headers: {
"Authorization": "Basic ....."
}
})
.then(
function(response, body) {
if (response.status !== 200) {
console.log(body)
console.log(response.status)
return;
}
response.text().then(function(data) {
console.log(data);
});
}
)
.catch(function(err) {
console.log(err);
});
i'm getting a 400 error. what's wrong
you know that the end of the usb that connects to the computer is big
hollow sedge
```js
fetch('url', { body: JSON.stringify({ grant_type: 'client_credentials' }) ...
@earnest phoenix
Where's the body?
snow urchin
Why do I get this error when running guild.members.fetch()? The server has 5 members
sudden geyser
do you have intents enabled
snow urchin
u dont need intents unless u get 75+ servers?
sudden geyser
You still need to enable it.
quartz kindle
You need the server members intent to be able to request all guild members
You dont need it to request only one member
snow urchin
well, what if I need the member count of a server 😄
quartz kindle
You use guild.memberCount

the error is the key to everything, you telling me your os is the less important thing here
That's actually possible iirc
tired panther
earnest phoenix
vm
tired panther
but this error does not happen , when I do it on my win 10 pc
earnest phoenix
@tired panther code plz
I should make logs for my errors ngl
you need to properly handle your errors
don't log to discord
and print out the full stacktrace
...why the fuck would i log on discord
i was referring to meister
deft flame
...why the fuck would i log on discord
?
tired panther
you need to properly handle your errors
its the cleaned error
earnest phoenix
fs.createWriteStream("log file path")
then keep writing data to it, should i?
tired panther
and print out the full stacktrace
where should I print them?
earnest phoenix
take a guess
tired panther
I can not look every second in the server
earnest phoenix
you don't have to?
just ssh into it whenever you see something isn't working correctly
earnest phoenix
fs.createWriteStream("log file path")
then keep writing data to it, should i?
btw i was asking cry if i should do this
you should look into sentry, meister
tired panther
just ssh into it whenever you see something isn't working correctly
but then ppl have to report it ti me
earnest phoenix
whaaaaaat?? when program no worky people complain to developer??? no way!!
tired panther
1 error happens every day xD, all other are handeld successfully
earnest phoenix
btw i was asking cry if i should do this
you should write atomically in case of a crash
my internet is having a stroke
tired panther
So do you had a kind of same problem?
let dm = await count.fetchUser(bumpedby)
if(dm.status === "beta"){
happeing here
earnest phoenix
you should write atomically in case of a crash
i just spent so long typing a big chunk of code only to realize streams interpet the data one chunk at a time
if you're using a local-based database, the database you have on your pc and the one you have on your vps will not have the same data
so if i send a 100 Kb chunk then a 10 byte chunk the 100 KB one would finish writing first THEN the 10 byte chunk
amirite?
earnest phoenix
you should write atomically in case of a crash
My bot never crashes because all errors are handled whenever possible even if one of the npm packages are having a stroke
including promise rejections
never say never
it doesn't have to be your app that crashes
it can be your vps provider
and what's wrong with not being able to log one error
tired panther
static async fetchUser(userids) {
if (!userids) throw new TypeError("A user was not provided.");
const user = await count.findOne({userid: userids });
if (!user) return false;
console.log("user id and other fetched");
return user;
}
``` what is here the problem?a
tired panther
It works on heroku .... everywhere, but not on the linux server
earnest phoenix
you using mongodb atlas or local
tired panther
you using mongodb atlas or local
atlas
earnest phoenix
well how is it causing problems
the db is hosted on atlas so it should be the same everywhere
earnest phoenix
by the code you shared, fetchUser will never return null
the error says fetchUser returned null
you most likely don't have the same code on both machines
tired panther
user.status returns null xD
restive furnace
earnest phoenix
im confused how that is relevant though
they don't use that anywhere
unless they couldn't read their stacktrace properly

@hollow sedge how do i do that?

@hollow sedge hold up, the docs got me confused, how do i make it?

You should probably just connect it to an API

Someone who knows how to deal with moment knows how to tell me how to leave it in the format, for example: 1 month, 5 days and 3 hours (discord.js)
quartz kindle
moment.duration(amount of time).humanize()
lyric mountain
ig you need to split it before
ah, wait
you're doing it wrong
you need to get the difference between current time and message creation time
earnest phoenix
message.createdTimestamp - message.member.joinedAt @lyric mountain
lyric mountain
no
lyric mountain
get current time, not join time
earnest phoenix
date.now()?
lyric mountain
ig
or new Date() idk
not a JS dev, but the logic behind it is the same
current date - target date = interval
quartz kindle
Date.now()

So, what can I do?

Could you give me an example? I'm still very confused
opal plank
trying to see
but aparently humanize() only brings the biggest threshold rounded
which is odd
earnest phoenix
hmm

they are either a)
using one of the solutions in that
b) using a different lib
c) they got their own humanize() method

ok sir, i go search more
opal plank
though, while it comes with VERY accurate results in real time, its a REALLY hard api to deal with since they dont want people to be scraping their shit @steep chasm
crimson vapor
config.json or env? which should I use?
steep chasm
bruh
crimson vapor
whats yours and why?
opal plank
though evn has its use cases
json is easier when dealing with tons of configurations, which i do
i think leviathan has over 80 configs
my genshin has over 50 configs
crimson vapor
wow
opal plank
highly customizable behaviour
crimson vapor
alright json it is, but mostly because my config needs to include an array and a few objects
mellow kelp
pog
i only use .env for tokens and stuff like that
for other things i use a config.json
crimson vapor
json inside or outside of the src/?
mellow kelp
i put it inside because typescript
mellow kelp
then i guess you can put it wherever you want
crimson vapor
should I even use src?
opal plank
this is just the local configs, it fetches more from the database(for global configs)
analog tinsel
i tryed this but not worked
crimson vapor
he uses json response I think
opal plank
million, i wouldnt worry about half of the stuff you asking me tbh
it all boils down to preference and use cases
just blindly copying does no good tbh
crimson vapor
yea ik but idk why to do one or the other and ill just end up rolling a dice or somethng
opal plank
they have their pro's and con's
crimson vapor
which is why I ask for your reasons more than anything
opal plank
its not about rolling a dice, its about understanding it
crimson vapor
exactly
opal plank
ENV gets attached onto process and is accessible everywhere
json is easy to handle and manipulate, but you need to throw it around like a dirty sock to access it where you want(unless you make it global too or attach on process)
ENV is used in a couple cases, if you already got ENV being used, no need for config
mellow kelp
what about both tho
opal plank
hardly use for it
opal plank
unless you REALLY wanna stick to json but some application needs an ENV token
then i might see using both
mellow kelp
yeah i guess thats me
i got many configurations that would be really hard in env
but also some tokens
opal plank
but for an ACTUAL use, i cant think of many reasons
they are alternatives to eachother tbh
mellow kelp
well k

you want to type a json file?
umbral zealot
Unless you have a plugin in vscode or something.
manic cairn
When people use json but say Johnson
quartz kindle
you would type the code that loads the json file
for example make an interface and assign it to the return object from a json require
or a readFile
quartz kindle
the json file is not a code itself, is more like an input
so you have to treat it as such
type your code to expect ZYX properties as input in a certain function
crimson vapor

quartz kindle
and then give it the json object from the file as input

guild.roles is a roleManager and a roleManager has a create method
so strange that it isnt working
twilit geode
i had
guild.roles.create({
data: {
name: 'Super Cool People',
color: 'BLUE',
},
reason: 'we needed a role for Super Cool People',
})
what was it returning?
crimson vapor
message.guild probably lol

in discord.js, does anyone know if, when a guildCreate or guildDelete event is fired, if i pull the memberCount property- does it include the bot thats being added to the guild or does it give the memberCount before the bot, and vice versa for guildDelete (does it give memberCount with the bot or after the bot is removed)
hollow sedge
cant you just test that
oak cliff
i can but i wanted to see if anyone knew off the top of their head 
hollow sedge
oh ok
oak cliff
why do the work when someone else might have done it already
hollow sedge
true
odd stratus

When a guildCreate event is fired, I'm pretty sure it includes the memberCount including the bot. How? Because I've seen people with just them in their server add my bot before multiple times and then the memberCount is listed as "2", and there has yet to be any memberCount listed as "1" with the guildCreate event
oak cliff
thanks
odd stratus
Np, pretty sure on a guildDelete it removes the bots membercount as far as I've seen
Actually nvm it doesn't seem to do that on the delete event, it still counts the bots

@hasty mulch you need to have the ctx argument

Are you sure about that?
hasty mulch
The link is the code, smh
sudden geyser
It's not going to receive a ctx parameter because there's not going to be context for the subject
hasty mulch
It was fine before I had to use self to get icon_url working
sudden geyser
If you want to send a message in a certain channel, you should rely on the bot field you receive in your initializer (assuming you're using cogs)
sudden geyser
You can't get info about the guild LIPD because there's no context to refer to. It's a loop that's called on a set interval.
sudden geyser
You'd need to reference the guild somehow. If, for example, your users could enable that loop feature and you stored the guild IDs persistently, you could fetch the IDs and for each one send a message. You need to know the guild or channel in order to send a message in the first place.
Notice in the documentation they don't reference the guild or channel or message: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html
hasty mulch
Alright, I’ll try referencing it outside the loop

@quartz kindle so, i don't get any errors from discord ws

I tried installing quick.db but it got a ton of errors. I downloaded it by npm i quick.db is that right?
sudden geyser
what are the errors
sudden geyser
so it couldn't find python
sudden geyser
You see the message printed after the last screenshot you shared correct
It should tell you how to install it.
distant cobalt
You see the message printed after the last screenshot you shared correct
I'm not using python tho, im using discord.js
sudden geyser
I know.
distant cobalt
erm
sudden geyser
To build quick.db (which relies on better-sqlite) it needs Python.
quartz kindle
you need the whole build tools, not just python
distant cobalt
how many is that?
quartz kindle
npm install -g windows-build-tools from an administrator cmd or powershell
distant cobalt
ok
distant cobalt
`npm install -g windows-build-tools` from an administrator cmd or powershell
got this error
quartz kindle
do what it says
quartz kindle
thats not what it says to do
distant cobalt
Erm
quartz kindle
click the windows button

does anyone here have some time to teach me something?
crimson vapor
teaching is my favorite thing that people ask for
because it shows that they want to understand, not just for it to work
earnest phoenix
and then they ask you how to program a self driving car from scratch
crimson vapor
from scratch or in scratch?
lyric mountain
car.getMotor().setThrottle(100);
while (car.isOn()) {
car.getSteering().setAngle(Math.random() * 360);
}
Here, a self driving car
lyric mountain
Gotta make the fine text really fine
hollow sedge
```
car.getMotor().setThrottle(100);

car.getSteering().set...
Tesla code exposed
Wait I didn't see the random thing
earnest phoenix
My bot's database registers a user using a message event, but apparently if you are new and spam in the chat, it registers more than once
Can I settle for a settimeout?
hollow sedge
I think it would use radians rather than an angle
earnest phoenix
mongodb
hollow sedge
True
crimson vapor
```
car.getMotor().setThrottle(100);
while (car.isOn()) {
car.getSteering().set...
car.getMotor().setThrottle(100);
while (car.isOn()) {
car.getSteering().setAngle(Math.random() * 2 * Math.PI);
}```shouldn't you check if a user is alreay registered first

no more errors 
hollow sedge
YAY
earnest phoenix
Prefixo = prefix
hollow sedge
That's not a fix tho
earnest phoenix
my bot has smart cooldown, I think it should solve
lyric mountain
```js
car.getMotor().setThrottle(100);
while (car.isOn()) {
car.getSteering(...
Oh god, radians, whyyy
crimson vapor
because code uses radians
crimson vapor
if we use degrees it will be so funky
hollow sedge
JS canvas uses radians
hollow sedge
Yeah
lyric mountain
It is so hard to get used to radians tho
earnest phoenix
ok sir
lyric mountain
Nope, didn't expand on math side, I went to system hell college
lyric mountain
Tons of uml and paper
earnest phoenix
I use discord.js
lyric mountain
With some flavor of development
hollow sedge
crimson vapor
I prefer radians
hollow sedge
It makes more sense
crimson vapor
I agree
since realistically we could make a circle 400 degrees instead of 360 and nothing would change
hollow sedge
Yeah
carmine summit
Is there something like:
let letter = "a";
letter++

Huh
crimson vapor
umm
hollow sedge
Oh I see
crimson vapor
kinda?
carmine summit
wait
hollow sedge
Why would you want to do that though
carmine summit
Why would you want to do that though
regional_indicator_
hollow sedge
Ohh
lyric mountain
Js is weird
lyric mountain
regional\_indicator\_
Btw, be careful putting two regional indicators next to each other
Some combinations merge
carmine summit
hmm?
hollow sedge
Weird

Don't you need {i}
lyric mountain
With 🇷
hollow sedge
Not just i
lyric mountain
🇫🇷
carmine summit
uh
hollow sedge
Woah
hollow sedge
Ok so thats why it's called regional indicator
lyric mountain
Without space
hollow sedge
That's actually really cool
lyric mountain
Yeah, turns out it indeed is a regional indicator lul
mellow kelp
🇧
lyric mountain
Always thought why it was called regional_indicator instead of alphabet
mellow kelp
Rush 🅱️
hollow sedge
Lol
hollow sedge
Always thought why it was called regional_indicator instead of alphabet
Yeah
crimson vapor
because discorb™️
mellow kelp
ah yes
mellow kelp
if you make a spelling error, trademark it
hollow sedge
It's slower
mellow kelp
maybe it depends
hollow sedge
usually
mellow kelp
i made some tests and foreach was somewhat faster than for of
lyric mountain
forEach has more memory usage because of the overhead
mellow kelp
but of course for(let i =0;... is always faster
carmine summit
now we're changing topic
mellow kelp
but u g l y

Sometimes comments contain gems
lyric mountain
Stack's answer block is silly
lyric mountain
Yep
hollow sedge
lyric mountain
A isn't equal to a
carmine summit
ok then back to work :DD
lyric mountain
a is 0100 0001
carmine summit
and, im just gonna use for
lyric mountain
And A is 0101 0001
hollow sedge
in what?
lyric mountain
Binary
hollow sedge
oh
lyric mountain
Like, that extra 1 in the first 4 numbers is what defines if it's uppercase or not
hollow sedge
yeah i see
lyric mountain
Btw, for regional indicators you could simply use unicode notation
carmine summit
Btw, for regional indicators you could simply use unicode notation
what's that?
hollow sedge
^ you can just paste the emoji
carmine summit
With an array?
lyric mountain
Regional A is \u1F1E6
carmine summit
that has random length?
carmine summit
now that I got that sorted, how do I decode it?
lyric mountain
You don't need, emojis are already stored like that
hollow sedge
https://emojipedia.org/regional-indicator-symbol-letter-a/ you could go here and just copy it
carmine summit

lyric mountain
When you paste any emoji in most IDEs they'll parse to unicode notation
hollow sedge
i know, i was just saying its an alternative to using unicode notation
carmine summit
why is "6" not yellow?
lyric mountain
Unicode is the fastest and easiest way
hollow sedge
i like the visualization
hollow sedge
array that has a random length...
wdym..?
lyric mountain
why is "6" not yellow?
Ah, mb, actual unicode used in code is different
Because it has an extra byte
hollow sedge
arrays can have any length
lyric mountain
Just a sec
carmine summit
lyric mountain
\uD83C\uDDE6
carmine summit
ah yes
carmine summit
what's that?
hollow sedge
why do you know so much about emojis lol
lyric mountain
what's that?
A
carmine summit
for (i = 0; i < randomized.length; i++) {
let j = i + 6;
let base = "\u1F1E" + j;
randomized[i] = base + decodeURIComponent(randomized[i]);
}
```uhhhI use regionals for my poll command
hollow sedge
oh
lyric mountain
`\uD83C\uDDE6`
This
carmine summit
wdym?
carmine summit
last 2?
lyric mountain
Yeah, you could increase everything, but you'll not get regionals anymore
Like, you'll increase at most 26 times
lyric mountain
Yeah, there's that too
lyric mountain
for (int i = 0; i < options.length(); i++) eb.addField(new String(new char[]{"\uD83C\uDDE6".toCharArray()[0], (char) ("\uD83C\uDDE6".toCharArray()[1] + i)}) + " | " + options.getString(i), Helper.VOID, true);
Here's how I do it
Sorry, it's a long line
Ig showing the actual code would be easier to read wouldn't it?
tardy pecan
Hey, I have a newbie question, is there a specific way to make a web page to configure a bot like for example the Tatsumaki bot?
lyric mountain
But basically, split that unicode in a char array
Then increase the second char by the number u want
Add 1 and it'll become B
carmine summit
wha?
lyric mountain
Add 2 and it'll become C
carmine summit
whaaa??

IS THAT JAVA?!?!
lyric mountain
Yep
hollow sedge
you need to know about web apps and a ton of other stuff
lyric mountain
But look at the logic, not the actual syntax or stuff
lyric mountain
Regardless of the lang, u can do tbe same thing
lyric mountain
is it just me or does java require a ton of imports
Pretty much the same as node, but with Java you can be so damn specific on what u import
hollow sedge
same for python but i dont see this happening
lyric mountain
Also, I use a lot of references in that file
hollow sedge
perhaps its because of all the java util imports
lyric mountain
Just glance at my helper file lul
hollow sedge
importing a List 😆
lyric mountain
It's at utils folder
lyric mountain
perhaps its because of all the java util imports
Yep
I could do utils.*
But it's better to use individual imports
hollow sedge
you did do that lol
import java.util.List;
import java.util.*;
does the bottom one include the top
hollow sedge
thats cool
hollow sedge
ha
lyric mountain
But anyway, back to topic
hollow sedge
who even uses that
