Alright, thanks for the feedback. Does the API go by overall bot limiting, or user limiting, as in would I have to rate limit each user or is it best to globally rate limit the entire server for a backup bot.

hey guys

Hey 
quartz kindle
Alright, thanks for the feedback. Does the API go by overall bot limiting, or us...
the rate limits are per major route. major routes are guilds, channels and users
earnest phoenix
Yea same lol
eternal osprey
how do i make sure that only 1 user can use the command, and then the function stops?
slim void
Okay Tim, personally, is it proper to rate limit the guild for a backup bot or a user, to avoid being limited?
quartz kindle
so for example if you do any kind of request that affects a specific channel, it will count towards that specific channel's rate limits, and not others, even within the same guild
eternal osprey

i am not talking about restricting it to an user or a rrole, but the first one to use the !catch command will be able to use the function

Hm,
Can you show the code you’re trying to do it with?
slim void
if (talkedRecently.has(message.author.id)) {
message.channel.send("Wait 1 minute before getting typing this again. - " + message.author);
return;
} else {
// the user can type the command ... your command code goes here :)
// Adds the user to the set so that they can't talk for a minute
talkedRecently.add(message.author.id);
setTimeout(() => {
// Removes the user from the set after a minute
talkedRecently.delete(message.author.id);
}, 60000);
}```yes its always good to do that
slim void
so for this it's limiting the users
earnest phoenix
@eternal osprey
slim void
how does one limit a guild
quartz kindle
earnest phoenix
Lol
quartz kindle
yes, the dot notation is the same
earnest phoenix
@eternal osprey show me the code you’re trying to do it with
quartz kindle
only difference is brackets and no indentation
lmao
and some functions are simpler
earnest phoenix
eternal osprey
<@345138133429649408> show me the code you’re trying to do it with
okay
there is a function called despawnpokemon
earnest phoenix
Mhm
eternal osprey
i want to use that function as soon as one user uses the !catch command
quartz kindle
the thing you have in line 19 does something different from that, its not a replacement, but you can have both if you want

how would I inform the user "how much longer they have"?

the first one that uses and catches it, wins and no-one can get it

Alr, 1 sec
eternal osprey
Alr, 1 sec
tahke your time!
slim void
Tim*
quartz kindle
how would I inform the user "how much longer they have"?
you cant with a timeout, you have to do it differently
quartz kindle
a little less nice but its fine
slim void
the bot creates over 15 channels, 20 roles, and sets permissions and messages
all in 5 seconds
quartz kindle
sequentially or concurrently?
slim void
all at once
eternal osprey
the bot creates over 15 channels, 20 roles, and sets permissions and messages
the dc api would not like that?
quartz kindle
that doesnt answer the question
slim void
hmm
quartz kindle
show code

it's fast tho
earnest phoenix

But it’s never impossible
earnest phoenix
Wait 1 second again
quartz kindle
the problem is not the cooldown, idk how happy discord will be to be spammed with a lot of requests in a very short time
so its good practice to spread them out
or at least do it sequentially
eternal osprey
```client.dispatcher.addInhibitor(msg => {
if (msg.member.id != "ID") return f...
so this would restrict it only to the first user to use !catch
earnest phoenix
This would only allow it to be used in your server
And if you want it to be used 1 time onoy
Only*
I suggest this
earnest phoenix
Yes, but wait 1 sec
eternal osprey
to restrict it to the one that used the command first
earnest phoenix
Well, I don’t think it’s possible but hmm
let cooldown = 43200000;
You can add cool down
And then disable the command
slim void
If your bot got rate limited will my entire discord acc get banned or no
earnest phoenix
@eternal osprey
slim void
oh
eternal osprey
hey i am here
slim void
even if it spams it?
solemn latch
you just get ratelimited
eternal osprey
why would i want a cooldown?
solemn latch
if you api abuse, you potentially get banned.
slim void
If your bot isn't doing it on purpose will u get banned?
eternal osprey
I want to just restrict the command to the guy that used the !catch command first
slim void
and people abuse it
earnest phoenix
why would i want a cooldown?
Hm, it would add 12 hours cool down and you will have time to disable the command
Nonono, it won’t work...
Hm...
eternal osprey
maybe Woo can help out?
solemn latch
bots get ratelimited all the time, the vast majority of bots dont have perfect cooldown systems and users will intentionally get it ratelimited.
slim void

maybe Woo can help out?
Yea his better than me ping him and ask
slim void
someone did it to my bot lol
earnest phoenix
@solemn latch would you mind helping @eternal osprey

the xy problem is a question

so i think thats the wrong solution
what solution would you use then?
my question was how do i restrict a function to only 1 user, the one that is the fasted with the !catch command.
that is not xy.

so, why do you want to restrict the function?
eternal osprey
so, why do you want to restrict the function?
i have a pokemon bot, yeah.
eternal osprey
i don't want everyone to walk around with duplicates.

how do you add moderation to your code
all
I have is Hello
and this isn't enough
dusky sundial
This channel isn't really for asking how to create entire commands
solemn latch
do you understand me?
right, so when a pokemon spawns it should save that in a variable(or a map, or whatever method of storing you want to use) saying this is the currently spawned pokemon.
when the catch command is used it should check if there is a pokemon in that variable, and delete that variable if its correct.
you are not disabling any functions this way, just doing a basic if statement.

depends! @quartz kindle
if youre only using standard library, its either a std::map or std::unordered_map.... both have the same syntax, and work like a dictionary/js array. BUT, std::map uses an RB-tree for storage, so is O(log n) speed for an element lookuop, and std::unordered_map uses a hash function so is generally O(1) for a lookup
unordered map has a memory overhead

im betting to store an object's properties you'd use std::map or perhaps a lightweight imitation of it
green kestrel
the speed gains of unordered_map only really become visible once you have like tens of thousands of elements in an array

python depicts errors better than js 😭

JS is fine with displaying errors.

like in aegis, the users list is unordered_map keyed by snowflake id

remove the permissions to send embeds for your bot miner
green kestrel
@opal plank any message containing an embed is dropped, and a permission denied error generated
opal plank
and try running that command
earnest phoenix
we were doing basic around that age too, but it was a pain for me because there were already modern day languages at the time
opal plank

correct, im telling that to miner lmao
xD
quartz kindle
oh oh, aegis is moving away from Promise/Future imitations in its 3.0 release <@...
cool
opal plank
if your bot doesnt have send message permission or send embeds, it'll fail twice
slim void
yo so what am I doing wrong
green kestrel
i always kinda hated that aegis tried to copy js with promise/future
and the promise implementation is kinda iffy, it randomly causes thread deadlocks
slim void
/home/container/commands/create-backup.js:18
.addField('Information','Make sure you copy this ID as there is no other way we can recover it!', inline: false)
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list```sharon was telling us about that a couple days ago brain
slim void
It said on docs???
sudden geyser
inline: false is invalid syntax in this scenario.
slim void
I'm used to python
green kestrel
hmm, ive seen some parsers be ok with that in js
opal plank
pass it an object
green kestrel
but it should be 'inline': false
sudden geyser
Remove the inline: part
slim void
🤔
opal plank
i dont think you can pass it like that brain
craggy pine
'stuff', 'stuff', false
opal plank
you need an object
quartz kindle
btw @green kestrel i dont think node-addon-api uses maps after all
they have their own weird C structures
green kestrel
i bet it uses some custom map-like object wrapper
ew, C-with-objects
its probably scylla map or something
quartz kindle
basically node-addon-api is a c++ wrapper for the underlying N-api which is in C
craggy pine
The problem with free hosting
opal plank
the moment you pick a free host you are legit screaming "i dont giv 2 fucks about my bot" btw
slim void
it's not free..
opal plank
witherhosting
craggy pine
I swore I seen Rpl.it which i thought was free? But I suppose now I see witherHosting so idk I may be incorrect then
opal plank
that sounds like some minecraft stuff ngl
opal plank
you using minecraft hosting for a discord bot?

it works

get a proper vps mah dud

opal plank
$3 a month and you can get a basic one up and running
slim void
I don't like vps
craggy pine
opal plank
y.i.k.e.s
slim void
works rlly nice
green kestrel
obj.msg.get_channel().create_message(
aegis::create_message_t()

.color(0xFF0000)
.title("Hello")
.description(obj.msg.author.username)
.fields({
field().name("Hello").value(obj.msg.author.username)

);```
easiest way to do an embed, am i right? im starting to think making this wrapper wasnt such a good idea after all lmao, i havent even started with jsdoc/types and its already taking weeks
opal plank
YOU havent even started?
green kestrel
what are you trying to make, tim
opal plank
what do you mean YOU tim?
craggy pine
nice ip
slim void

green kestrel
512mb ram, wow, thats a lot of ram
quartz kindle
what are you trying to make, tim
a better node.js wrapper for a C lib
green kestrel

quartz kindle
one already exists, but its kinda bad
craggy pine
incredibly low

it works tho ;D
opal plank
im starting to think making this wrapper wasnt such a good idea after all lmao, ...

lmao
craggy pine
512 seems like ull just hit max in 2 secs
quartz kindle
the lib is a collection of around 90 functions related to astronomical calculations
opal plank
in fairness
opal plank
im not using much more than that, and 200k+ userts
- a fuckton of extra shit im attaching
like a whole new user object
also, wasnt the bot personal? why is it in 92 servers?
quartz kindle
im going over each of those 90 functions, and writing proper error handling, messages, etc, and later on i want to add jsdoc and typings for ts
opal plank
quartz kindle
smallest vps ive seen have at least 2 gigs of ram
my vps is 1gb

My bot in 92 servers has 212mb of ram

im sorry djs uses a shitton of ram

it runs a network tho
green kestrel
that's hell
its hell that only needs 4 gigs of ram to store 5.1 million users and 63000 guilds

so it's kind of needed 😭

quartz kindle
tim, did you read what i pinged you for yesterday?
i did, then i forgot

djs caches presences
and it used up 1gb of ram cuz some retards were doing it
also message edits

HOW CAN DISCORD not be defined -_-
opal plank
lol, simple solution? turn off presences
presence is a core function of my bot
solemn latch
imagine changing one setting and cutting your ram usage down to a quarter of what it was
quartz kindle
you can turn off presence cache in djsl
green kestrel
Discord is not defined <- captain obvious says this is clear from the api docs
opal plank
i need to see when a user starts playing a game, but i dont care about what happens afterwards, and that retard shit literally caches everything, 200 messages PER channel, like wtf bro
also caching presences
AND message edits
gilded olive
Presences are needed to show badges for my bot 
opal plank
like fuck this whole shit
solemn latch
djs light erwin ;p
green kestrel
@opal plank move to eris?

detritus is an option

solemn latch
when did you define discord in that snippet
quartz kindle
Client.Embed work?
no
slim void
I didn't define Discord Woo
green kestrel
meh, sod advanced discord libs... just use a websocket lib and roll your own!
slim void
earnest phoenix
Define it then
slim void
?
earnest phoenix
Pepega
slim void
why
green kestrel
i mean how hard can it be
solemn latch
then how do you expect discord to be defined
solemn latch
yeah
slim void
I figured it didn't need it
craggy pine
You always need it when doing discord things
quartz kindle
you need to require your libs in all files that use it
slim void
it was working just fine without it?
quartz kindle
like python import
opal plank
meh, sod advanced discord libs... just use a websocket lib and roll your own!
ah yes, and then pollute not only NPM with shitty packes, but also discord libs
earnest phoenix
You're using the variable so if you didn't define it, you need to define it
gilded olive
Would use commands.Bot instead
earnest phoenix
Simple
green kestrel
in fact, i came this 👉 👈 close to doing this myself.... just using websocketpp, and rolling my own discord lib. because theres all kinds of crashy weirdness in aegis 2.6 at scale, but im holding out for 3.0 "soon" ™️

sharon can tell because im constantly posting my stack traces lol
slim void
yes*
opal plank
sharon can tell because im constantly posting my stack traces lol
seems like a whole lot of fun
green kestrel
thing is, i dont have the time to support a discord lib as a community project, anything i'd have made would have been specific to triviabot
so kinda a waste of my time
earnest phoenix
🗿 Just make discord global, js global.Discord = require('discord.js');
green kestrel
yeah each time a bot cluster restarts, it emails me a stack dump
mellow kelp

i actually have something similar, but less intrusive

Anyone know of any free public anti raid bots?
opal plank
cuz otherwise i'd be getting banned for abusing mail
gilded olive
what type of anti raid
quartz kindle
are raids even a thing anymore? i havent seen one in a while

yup
earnest phoenix
how can i see demand list ?
gilded olive
arent anti raid just a boolean toggle

earnest phoenix
Anti-raid bots are dumb, they can't even do shit properly
gilded olive
What do they do
earnest phoenix
how can i see demand list ?
quartz kindle
Tim why wouldn't raids be a thing
discord has way better security these days
gilded olive
Ill make on in py for u miner
solemn latch
you should have seen discords old security
slim void
Well true
green kestrel
@opal plank
im the only one that gets these stack dumps, i dont have anyone else who knows C++ on the bot team who i'd trust 🙂
mellow kelp
oh god
green kestrel
this is one of two repeated crashes i get, that i think are eliminated in 3.0
slim void
😂
earnest phoenix
Just code it in binary
green kestrel
but im not rolling it out in production until sharon says its stable enough
slim void
code a bot in html/css
green kestrel
no, use RPG Maker
slim void
Brain I have some bad news
mellow kelp
how about coding a bot in cow language
earnest phoenix
opal plank
<@!188836645670223872>

what about the legend, sharon herself?
green kestrel
i made that offer recently, i'd consider letting sharon help for sure.... but i dont know if sharon has the time

Python

c6?
gilded olive
iirc
slim void
oooO python
green kestrel
My friend coding a bot in php
you know a reasonable chunk of my bot is php, yes
gilded olive
Yes
opal plank
aegis keeps sharon busy enough!
she's also working on some huge project, not sure if i can disclaim what it is, so im not going any further, but she's constatly posting stuff about it
green kestrel
theres some things C++ just plain sucks at
quartz kindle
DiscordOS™️
green kestrel
like image manipulation
solemn latch
discordos when
opal plank
doesnt canvas run on c++ ?
quartz kindle
cant you just use a lib like magik/pango/cairo?
earnest phoenix
how can i check if there is an specific ID inside a db?
green kestrel
no, canvas is a js specific thing
quartz kindle
node's version of canvas is built with c++
solemn latch
its for js, but its not written in js is it 🤔
green kestrel
i delegate image generation to php, and use a combination of GD2, and wkhtmltoimage
slim void
how do you change presence in js
green kestrel
which takes html/css, and outputs an image, using a cut down webkit renderer, as a lib
green kestrel
that generates my rank cards
canvas is specific to the js ecosystem, originally designed for browser use
quartz kindle
yes but node's version of canvas is not
node.js doesnt have a built-in canvas
since it doesnt have DOM nor UI
the package node-canvas is a userland implementation backed by libcairo and libpango
in c++
green kestrel
hmmm
earnest phoenix
how can i check data of a easy.database's db?
quartz kindle
ye
green kestrel
wkhtmltoimage is quite heavyweight
you basically generate a html/css file of what you want as an image, and call it as a command like wkhtmltoimage myhtml.html output.img
quartz kindle
Cairo is a 2d graphics library written in C
green kestrel
where either or the input or output can be stdin and stdout
so wkhtmltoimage can render anything chrome can
as an image
not just canvases
😄
quartz kindle
sounds like overkill tho lmao
slim void
hey
green kestrel
its very powerful but with that comes inefficiency
solemn latch
api aboos
quartz kindle
guild.channels.cache.forEach
slim void
I'm not raiding.. it's for my own server if I ever wanna delete or if I get raided.
green kestrel
yeah, but it was the only way i could render coloured glyphs (e.g. coloured emoji fonts) as GD doesnt support it
quartz kindle
lul
green kestrel
or rather freetype2 doesnt
quartz kindle
hmm
green kestrel
php needs to get with the times (new roman)
slim void
message.guild.channels.forEach(channel => channel.delete())```#development message
someone help me pls
quartz kindle
cairo should support it, since node-canvas does
slim void
damn all channels gone just in 1 line
green kestrel
im pretty sure it would
gilded olive
damn all channels gone just in 1 line
Its quite scary
opal plank
```js
message.guild.channels.forEach(channel => channel.delete())```
you should probably not post mailcious code here btw
solemn latch
just a heads up, servers can have 500 channels, youd absolutely get ratelimited and be reported for api abuse
gilded olive
Ive never seen a server have 500 channels
green kestrel
hmmm
slim void
So your saying
gilded olive
Or anything plus 100
slim void
a raider can make 500 channels in my server
slim void
but I cannot delete them?
opal plank
cuz most sane people dont, but i've seen those cringe servers having them
green kestrel
i might just make a standalone cairo program called render-rank-card which i pass in a snowflake id
opal plank
funnily enough, its always servers that have 400 roles and everyone has at least 120 out of them that usually have those spam of channels
green kestrel
it'd be a ton faster than the php stuff
opal plank
and all of them have those weird ass letters in it
gilded olive
Oop emojis broke
slim void
client.on('message', message =>{
if(message.author.id == "YourID") {
if(message.content === "!bye") {
message.guild.channels.forEach(channel => channel.delete())
}
}
})```now I will add sleep
like delay?
opal plank
why are you even ATTEMPTING to delete all channels?
gilded olive
Hes just showing its possible
opal plank
why?
gilded olive
Idk man
opal plank
why even post possibly malicious code here?
earnest phoenix
Ah yes, proving that API abuse is possible?
slim void
if someone ever raided me
solemn latch
how do you prevent a raid by deleting every channel
green kestrel
yeah, please dont post stuff like that
slim void
I can just delete his spam channels 😄
green kestrel
well theres nothing left to raid ig
solemn latch
lol
slim void
I also own a server with 240 channels
quartz kindle
is there a raid that creates channels? wut
gilded olive
Gmail is down????
opal plank
how do you prevent a raid by deleting every channel
this
slim void
and I wanna get rid of them
gilded olive
Or am i confused
solemn latch
oh no
earnest phoenix
why it returns undefined before the ID?
vipN.add(papuV.tag, papuV.id)
so wait, you want to make a bot that you trick someone into adding that destroys their server
let me get this straight
opal plank
the fact that you have a bot with already 92 servers makes me reluctant to even tell you how your code is wrong
earnest phoenix
If you're to prevent a raid by deleting all channels then just delete the server instead
gilded olive
Nvm its working
opal plank
so how would you ever get the opportunity to execute that code
im a bit skeptical to help with this too
slim void
My private bot
green kestrel
yeah im done
green kestrel
so about butterflies. i hear butterflies are awesome.
solemn latch
brain qt
earnest phoenix
Doesn't mean you're allowed to abuse the API, private nor public
slim void
I'm not abusing the api
solemn latch
the ratelimits are good
slim void
if I set a delay
solemn latch
like actually super reasonable.
opal plank
if we killed 90% of the bots, they'd probably allow for a lot more shit
earnest phoenix
That's still API abuse
slim void
how much sleep do I need?!?!?
solemn latch
pretty sure nuke commands in general are api abuse my dude
earnest phoenix
You know how ratelimits work right?
gilded olive
Ban all non verified bots and start anew 
slim void
So I can't nuke my own Discord?
slim void
How do I delete a mass bunch of channels
slim void
what
solemn latch
^
slim void
that's dumb tho
earnest phoenix
You're nuking your own discord by the help of thousands of discord API calls
gilded olive
So api abuse isnt dumb?
slim void
how are backup bots allowed?
gilded olive
solemn latch
thats not a nuke by discord definition afaik
gilded olive
Ah ues
slim void
fine my cmd is just a cmd
that deletes all channels
then makes a new channel to my needs
😄
therefore it's utility
gilded olive
Api abuse 
slim void
it's not abuse -_-
earnest phoenix
What in the god's name
solemn latch
its less of what you call it and more of what it does that makes it a nuke command
mellow kelp
it's not abuse -_-
its api bullying
slim void
It's a backup bot
gilded olive
"That deletes all channels"
slim void
all it does
gilded olive
gilded olive
Listen
slim void
and it does it all in 2 seconds
slim void
my bot is private?
gilded olive
Youll be ip banned
slim void
it's private
earnest phoenix
How's it not API abuse to make hundreds of API calls under 30 seconds?
slim void
private
earnest phoenix
Do i have to repeat myself again?
slim void
Xenon bot makes hundreds
mellow kelp
it still uses the discord api
slim void
under 30 seconds
gilded olive
Well guys
opal plank
yandev instensifies
earnest phoenix
Public or private, both makes the API calls to the same route
mellow kelp
you are
