[river panther]

mhm?

how

explain ples

[lusty quest]

use require("file") if they export a function call the function

[river panther]

but they all are different bots

[lusty quest]

why?

so you want to start all the bots at once?

[river panther]

because there are 20 F1 drivers

[river panther]

yes

[lusty quest]

yea but why?

[river panther]

for standings

[lusty quest]

if you use PM2 you can start each "bot" as it own instance and update them independently, also you can restart all at once.
or look into startscripts from node they can also start mutiple files at once

[river panther]

oh okok

thank

[lusty quest]

but for production i would recommend pm2 since you can keep track of each instance and get logs from each bot

[restive furnace]

this still works even if they were different bots, well kinda

just that they run in the same process

[lusty quest]

yea i know, but idk how much stuff he does inside the bots and locking them into one process could bog them down

[old cliff]

can my clusters be on different machines and still communicate using it?

yes on a different ip

can anyone send me link to kurasata documentation

[pale vessel]

https://github.com/DevYukine/Kurasuta/blob/master/README.md

[old cliff]

can I use that to set up clusters on different machines?

[lusty quest]

iirc its for sharding on the same machine, but you could write yourself a small service to use websockets or some other connection to manage the instances on different machines

[old cliff]

ok thanks

[crystal wigeon]

um while installign kibana, im getting a disk full error. like i have 50gb disk space dahek?

[lusty quest]

check your disk usage

maybe something decided to write a 20GB log file

[crystal wigeon]

lmao relax that doesnt happen

anyway i checked the disk, and i have 3 partitions and how do i see what partition the current dir is sitting on?

i tried to increase a partition and it says cannot grow part

[lusty quest]

did you have for some reason an 15GB swap partition?

[lusty quest]

can happen, before ive used logrotate pm2 decided to make one

[crystal wigeon]

mm the only thing that gets logged is the error logs. which gets cleared every day

[earnest phoenix]

Can someone help me 😬
Hello so i saw this youtube video but i can't find the error here is the code

let SteamRepAPI = require('steamrep');

module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {

  }
});
 
SteamRepAPI.getProfile("76561197960435530", function(error, result) {

        .setFooter("Command used !steamrep")

        message.channel.send(embed);

        message.delete()

      };
    });``` And the error

        let custurl = data.customurl
                           ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'customurl' of undefined```

Hope someone can help me 😬

[vivid fulcrum]

did you read the error

[frail tide]

Yeah but i don't know how to define it :/

Im not that good at coding 😦

[vivid fulcrum]

🤷‍♂️ don't copypaste code

[dusky sundial]

Then your first step is to learn some coding

[frail tide]

Normaly i whouldnt but this is so cool (but it didn't work so :/ )

[acoustic citrus]

sigh does anyone know what is sent in the donatebot webhook?

im not very smart when it comes to webhooks im not gonna lie

i got the post but i dont know where the info from it is and it says req.body isnt defined or anything

i logged the entire thing but couldnt find any of the info in the console

[vivid fulcrum]

can you show your code and the log output

[quiet topaz]

imagine, the code you copy n paste contains some malicious code and you just run it

[earnest phoenix]

uh

[unique panther]

How do i make a voting tracker in python?

[crystal wigeon]

quick question

what do i put in the kibana server.host in the kibana.yml?

the ip i wanna remotely connect from?

because i tired to put my ip and it doesnt work

i dont wanna use 0.0.0.0

the kibana service itself doesnt start.

[river panther]

why did you not just simply do

.addFields({})

[true ravine]

Does anyone know how to get momentjs to use monday as the first day of the week instead of sunday?

oop i forgot to edit out that ip

[sick fable]

i tried to code a message logger and i wanted it to send the specific message in a specific channel in the guild in which it is deleted.

here is the code:-

https://pastebin.com/XwS49Dbv

[dusky sundial]

And what is wrong with it?

[sick fable]

Nothing is wrong. I am just trying to make it like the message which is above.

[toxic jolt]

my bot is dont login pls help

[sick fable]

& it doesnt sends the messages in the channel also

[sick fable]

Sorry for my bad england

[toxic jolt]

bruh

[sick fable]

[toxic jolt]

Are you going to help

[acoustic citrus]

noone can help if we cant actually tell what the error is

all i see is the deprecation warning

anyone know how I could transpile this

into javascript

lol

I need to calculate explosion damage using js

and I have to translate some of the java code into js code somehow

ik 99% of people in here wont answer me

cuz ik its pretty complicated

lol

[pale vessel]

bruh that is NOT called transpile

[marble juniper]

idk

I just have to make it work in js

all I need is a way to calculate explosion exposure

[lusty quest]

try 127.0.0.1 as ip

[marble juniper]

I Will use the "keep asking untill you get an answer" strategy

lol

[quartz kindle]

why tho

you want to send it to js, do the calculation in js, then send it back to java?

or you just want to convert this function to js to use it in a js-only app?

[earnest phoenix]

They're trying to pass a quiz or a challenge or something like that

[marble juniper]

no I want it in js entirely

js only app

[vivid fulcrum]

xyproblem

what do you actually want to do

[quartz kindle]

then you'll need to port it, aka rewrite it in js

i dont think there is any transcoding you can do

[marble juniper]

well

the code has randomized variable names

and I don't understand java at all

lol

[snow urchin]

https://i.callumdev.pw/pxdui.gif
how does this make any sense at all

And how can I make it be right under the name like the other one, they all use the same style

https://i.callumdev.pw/afqsm.png

[river panther]

hello sir, i am getting no command run, i have started to re write my bot but idk where am i getting error, because there is no error in the terminal and the command isn't running

this is my command handler

https://ghostbin.com/paste/moDpN

this is my message event handler

[solemn leaf]

cool?

[river panther]

https://ghostbin.com/paste/GAEeX

this is my index

[solemn leaf]

okay?

[river panther]

now can you tell what am i cocking yp

[solemn leaf]

now im not helping you

[river panther]

oh

:(

ples

[crystal wigeon]

alos, logstash and filebeat are same? beacuse the tutorial im watching the guy installs logstash and then installs filebeat and configues filebeat to watch loggings

[quartz kindle]

your code is a clusterfuck of weirdness, i dont even know where to begin

lmao

[crystal wigeon]

also setting a password? like bruh i set a password and it didnt even pick it up lol

[river panther]

oh :(, how do i make it weirdn't?

[lusty quest]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[river panther]

re write it again?

[quartz kindle]

a command handler doesnt need to be like that

it can be much simpler

same with event handling

[river panther]

oh

[quartz kindle]

and you're doing a lot of unnecessary stuff

[river panther]

like?

permissions?

welp, ig i can remove the if (bot.user.haspermission) thingy

[quartz kindle]

like this message.channel.messages.fetch();

[river panther]

oh

the handler i have right now just gives me one error
missing assess

how do i remove that error?

i mean, its ok if the bot doesn't have permission, just don't spam my terminal

[pale vessel]

handle errors

[river panther]

mhm? how do that

with

bot.on('error', )

?

[tulip ledge]

.catch

@river panther

[river panther]

oh, ok ok, catch(console.error)

right?

[earnest phoenix]

maybe check the discord.js guide

see this is an example event handler

fs.readdir("./events/", (err, events) => {
    if (err) return console.log(new Error(err));
    const jsfiles = events.filter(x => x.split(".").pop() === "js");
    console.log(`[EVENTS] Loaded ${jsfiles.length} events.`);
    jsfiles.forEach((f, i) => {
        const event = require(`./events/${f}`);
        client.on(`${f.replace(".js", "")}`, event.bind(null, client));
    });
});

[gentle patio]

what to do if the bot offline in my server?

[quartz kindle]

which bot

[marble juniper]

https://discordjs.guide/event-handling/#individual-event-files

I think this is better

lol

[vale garden]

hi

i have a question

does the guilds.join scope no longer work for bots or something

i had an oauth bot which used to join members to servers

and i was making another one, which didnt work

so i fired up my previous one to try finding out the error

and for some reason it no longer worked

#oauth.py
class Oauth:

  @staticmethod
  def user_join(token, access_token, userr, guild):
   try:

    url = Oauth.discord_api_url + f"/guilds/{guild}/members/{userr}"
    
    headers = {
      "Authorization": "Bot {}" .format(token)
    }
    
    user_object = requests.put(url = url, headers = headers, json = {"access_token": access_token})

   except Exception as e:
     print(e)

//db.json

{"_default": {"1": {"id": "394320584089010179", "name": "Multiii", "discriminator": "7676", "date": "2021-03-03", "access_token": token_here}, "2": {"id": "446670262440820746", "name": "\ud835\udd44\ud835\udd52\ud835\udd63\ud835\udd65\ud835\udd5a\ud835\udd52\ud835\udd5d\ud835\udd44\ud835\udd56\ud835\udd65\ud835\udd56\ud835\udd60\ud835\udd63\ud835\udfe0\ud835\udfda\u30b7", "discriminator": "1234", "date": "2021-03-03", "access_token": token_here}}}

#bot.py

from tinydb import TinyDB, Query

db = TinyDB('./db.json')

@bot.command(aliases = ["j", "i", "inv", "invite"], brief = "Used to Make Authorized Users join any Server the Bot is in")
async def join(ctx, amt: int = None, id = None):
  if not amt or not id:
    await ctx.send("Command Usage: `?join <no_of_users> <server_id>`")
  
  else:
    if amt > len(db):
      await ctx.send(f"There are only {len(db)} users who have been authorized.")
      return

    else:
      for data in db:
        print(data)
        Oauth.user_join(token, data['access_token'], data['id'], id)

    await ctx.send(f"{amt} users were invited to {bot.get_guild(int(id)).name}")

this is my code btw

[blissful coral]

@vale garden Do you have the guild members intent

[peak bough]

Hello, anyone knows how to get mee6 lvl or xp data so that i can use it on my custom bot ?

@blissful coral can you refer me to the api

[blissful coral]

Search on npm mee6levelsapi

[peak bough]

ok

[vale garden]

do i need it on my bot?

[blissful coral]

iirc for guild member add yes

[vale garden]

`py

intents = discord.Intents.all()

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "?", case_insensitive = True, intents = intents)

this should work right?

[blissful coral]

You have to enable it on the discord dashboard

[vale garden]

ye i did that

[blissful coral]

hm

idk then

[pale vessel]

that should work then

[vale garden]

it isnt working tho

[crystal wigeon]

yo wtf this ELK stack

i spent the whole day just to find that it logs only health or something wth?

also these "dashboard" seem to be for webservers

i wanted to see peeps typing commands not these wth

[dusky lagoon]

what is boolean

[crystal wigeon]

true or false

[earnest phoenix]

I pick false

what's boolean then

[eager berry]

Put it online lol

@crisp vault

K he left

[quartz kindle]

you have to add the stuff you want

by default it only logs generic stuff

[crystal wigeon]

i tried uploading my ".log" file and it threw an error. basically error logs written by winston are json format

[lusty quest]

well for tracking commands you probably better would have used Grafana + Influxdb or prometheus

[crystal wigeon]

i did try grafana

but that didn work as i dont wnna be storing everything in DB

[hushed wraith]

I am using DJS:

Once I create a dispatcher to play a song I immediately do dispatcher.once('finish', () => { but after many skips the bot seems to lag, although I have if (!dispatcher.destroyed) { dispatcher.destroy();} inside the once event.

does anyone know what may be going wrong ?

[zenith terrace]

inspect element

[dusk scarab]

ikr lmao

[lament stump]

Cannot destructure property 'guild' of 'message' as it is undefined.

[peak bough]

@blissful coral they have banned it, it resulted in error

any other way to get mee6 xp 😭

[lament stump]

talk

[peak bough]

i want to transfer the xp to my custom bot

[lament stump]

oh lol

[peak bough]

ya

[quartz kindle]

where is message defined?

[lament stump]

it's not

that is the problem

the message comes from whenever someone reacts to something

the bot does react and I get this

[quartz kindle]

where do you call handleReaction?

[lament stump]

whenever a reaction is added / removed

[quartz kindle]

client.on("messageReactionAdd", handleReaction) ?

[timid verge]

owos

[tired panther]

do you have the link of the xp lb?

[lament stump]

same for the remove

[peak bough]

yea

[earnest phoenix]

Would anyone like to test out my bot

[tired panther]

you can download it?

[peak bough]

https://mee6.xyz/w1steria

thats the thing 2500 members

[quartz kindle]

show your event class

[lament stump]

like the entire reaction handler?

[earnest phoenix]

Would anyone like to test my bot out

[quartz kindle]

the constructor of the Event class

[tired panther]

its not a problem

[lament stump]

the wat

me dumb

[quartz kindle]

what is cdcommands

is it an npm module?

[peak bough]

https://mee6.xyz/api/plugins/levels/leaderboard/778311318393847809

i did this

[lament stump]

yes

it is npm module

[tired panther]

@peak bough its just 475 bytes

[peak bough]

how to get the complete lb

[tired panther]

and you want to feed your bot with the data?

[peak bough]

yes

custom bot

i would only need the xp tbh

[tired panther]

you have to process the Data, which are in the lb, this could take some time

[quartz kindle]

https://github.com/CreativeDevelopments/CDCommands/blob/c75e34b0d2f31f8caba176a9d14438ab0bd2c87a/src/registry/Events.js#L33

they do .bind(null, client)

meaning client is the first argument

[lament stump]

okay

[quartz kindle]

so you have to do (client, reaction, user) =>

here

[lament stump]

Okay, works now

Only last thing is that users don't get the roles

But I think i can manage that

[tired panther]

make you own custom package lol

[celest bone]

In discord.js-commando is it possible to add your own throttling message or not? Thanks!

[quartz kindle]

throttling message?

[tired panther]

what is that?

[quartz kindle]

most likely yes, but depending on the code they use for it, it can be easy or not so easy

[tired panther]

cooldowns ?!

[celest bone]

What i mean is, when a you try to execute a command on a timeout, you are returned a message. i wanted to customize that message, sorry if it wasnt clear.

[tired panther]

change the message?

[celest bone]

uhuh, so instead of it saying "You cannot use this message for another x seconds" I want it to say something else

[tired panther]

is that a inbuilt message?

so we are talking about cooldowns?

[celest bone]

Its the default message, thats why im asking if i can change it

Yeah

[quartz kindle]

thats why i said, it depends on how did they code it

i'd need to see their code

[celest bone]

ohh ok, i thought you meant my code

thats my bad, thanks!

[tired panther]

you cant, thats a inbuilt message

you have to change their libary

Commando is trash @celest bone use normal discord.js

[quartz kindle]

you can lol

thats the beauty of js, you can hack everything

[tired panther]

yes, without manipulating the libary you can not lol

[tired panther]

the reason why discord.js-light works

[quartz kindle]

you can edit the prototype of the Command class

Command.prototype.onBlock = function(message, reason, data) {
        switch(reason) {
            case 'guildOnly':
                return message.reply(`The \`${this.name}\` command must be used in a server channel.`);
            case 'nsfw':
                return message.reply(`The \`${this.name}\` command can only be used in NSFW channels.`);
            case 'permission': {
                if(data.response) return message.reply(data.response);
                return message.reply(`You do not have permission to use the \`${this.name}\` command.`);
            }
            case 'clientPermissions': {
                if(data.missing.length === 1) {
                    return message.reply(
                        `I need the "${permissions[data.missing[0]]}" permission for the \`${this.name}\` command to work.`
                    );
                }
                return message.reply(oneLine`
                    I need the following permissions for the \`${this.name}\` command to work:
                    ${data.missing.map(perm => permissions[perm]).join(', ')}
                `);
            }
            case 'throttling': {
                return message.reply(
                    `You may not use the \`${this.name}\` command again for another ${data.remaining.toFixed(1)} seconds.`
                );
            }
            default:
                return null;
        }
    }

then you can edit that in your code

[celest bone]

I hate it too, however the bot isn't stable without discordjs-commando

[marble juniper]

ever heard of

[celest bone]

Thank you so much 😄

[marble juniper]

discord.js-light-commando

lol

[quartz kindle]

xD

[marble juniper]

I made it by changing some lines of codes for compability reasons and changing it from using discord.js to discord.js-light

uses less ram than the original commando and more cache control

not saying you have to use it but I bet you would like it

lol

[tired panther]

bot isnt stable, two words which does not fit in your sentence lol

[marble juniper]

discord is a stable platform™️

[celest bone]

my bot is made to make your life easier and it communicates alot outside of Discord, using many things. Discord.js-Commando proved to be faster when handling web requests and fetching specific things from websites.

it went from 2000ms+ responses to 200ms

And its helpful because these times mean alot as it gets routed through a proxy later on.

So the faster the initial response is, the faster the proxy part is, does that make sense? Or am i just waffling

[tired panther]

Discord.js-Command uses the libary discord.js . It cant be faster?!

[unreal estuary]

it said when handling web requests or fetching specific things

idk lol

[celest bone]

It proved to be faster. I tested this bot out and discord.js-commando proved to be the better option. Maybe it was placebo or maybe i was just testing at a bad time but the responses are faster, and speed is what my Discord bot needs

[tired panther]

discord commando will be slower. Since it is bloated with stuff you do not need. you can customize more in discord.js

[celest bone]

(plus im lazy and don't like cleaning up my code, my GitHub is an amazing example of that)

[celest bone]

ay man, idk

[unreal estuary]

discord.js-commando looks more complicated

you can just make a command handler yourself it isnt that hard

[celest bone]

I did that with my other bot

[celest bone]

This was my result using commando, following tests showed a constant speed of 500ms and under

consistant*

This was my result using normal discord.js

As you can see, I chose the better option.

[unreal estuary]

i dont have any problems with normal discord.js if commando is more suitable for your needs you should use it

i dont rlly know how to use it anyways docs doesnt say how to add commands

[celest bone]

yeah its a bit strange, I definitely prefer discord.js

[unreal estuary]

like this looks very complicated for no reason

[celest bone]

yeah, it is

[unreal estuary]

and the actual command is only 2 lines

[celest bone]

once you know it though it isnt too bad, its just a lil' annoyin

[unreal estuary]

do you use it for all your discord bots?

[celest bone]

no, just this one, my main project Atex uses normal Discord.js

[unreal estuary]

ah

[celest bone]

where is this? sorry i'm slow

[earnest phoenix]

hi i have a reload command but for some reason only SOME commands reload

the rest the bot does not send anything

only some commands the bot says: command reloaded

discord.js^

https://srcb.in/jYw36aC0Ia

this is my code^

[celest bone]

Make sure your file name and command name are the same, and your category matches the folder (if you have them).

[earnest phoenix]

true

lemme check

i was thinking about that before haha

i also have another quest

i have a balance command

when u mention the dude it shows there balance

but when u put there id it still shows there balance but the title is diffrent

lemme send a example

[feral aspen]

Should I be using await before each writing?

[earnest phoenix]

like it shows mee6's balance but it says that its my balance and gives MY avatar

[earnest phoenix]

i don't see why you'd need async/await there

[feral aspen]

So, no need, right?

[earnest phoenix]

no

[feral aspen]

Great.

👍

[inner token]

This post is only returning me a {} empty, what am I doing incorrectly?

this is the other side of post

[boreal iron]

you need another .then()

you may should watch the docs

[lament rock]

Your testing is inconsistent. Consider the following: Commando is built off of Discord.js. You are using Discord.js. Your results do not reflect reality as Discord's API latency can fluctuate

[celest bone]

if you read my above comment, I said i couldve been testing at a bad time.

[boreal iron]

...
    .then(res => res.json()) // expecting a json response
    .then(json => console.log(json));

oh wip wup wap... nvm I see

[lament rock]

I did. I was just pointing out that your logic behind "choosing the better library" is flawed because Command is built off of Discord.js. Commando is better suited for beginners because it is a high level abstraction layer

on top of an already high level api wrapper

[celest bone]

either way i went off my results, and im too lazy to change (aggain).

[lament rock]

But your results are flawed

[feral aspen]

What does this mean in filezilla.

[boreal iron]

sponsored-setup.exe lmao

did u download filezilla from the source?

[lyric mountain]

Totally not sketchy

[feral aspen]

What.

I tried.

It doesn't let me.

Any other things like filezilla?

[boreal iron]

you wanna simply use ftp?

if so use your Windows file explorer

[inner token]

I found it, I needed to use app.use(bodyParser.json());

[boreal iron]

enter ftp://remote-address

Windows will ask you for user and password

[lyric mountain]

Yeah, people forget you can add ftp paths to windows explorer

[lyric mountain]

Maybe it's not configured correctly

[boreal iron]

I mean server name or address could not be resolved should be obvious

make sure the server the ftp server is running on accepts incoming connections on port 21

and of course if the server address is correct

[feral aspen]

But not sure why this is not working.

Idk why this as well

[quartz kindle]

require the Command class and you put that code right after

[near stratus]

you downloaded a Trojan

[boreal iron]

Make sure filezilla is downloaded by it's original source

[quartz kindle]

you're downloading the wrong thing

[feral aspen]

How tf.

I am not though

[boreal iron]

I'm not sure why Windows defender should notice a threat

[feral aspen]

https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?platform=win64

here.

Right?

[boreal iron]

https://dl4.cdn.filezilla-project.org/client/FileZilla_3.53.0_win64-setup.exe?h=eeTR4w4tQgQXCnnoRxQUvw&x=1616266200

[quartz kindle]

download it from here https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1

never use sponsored installers

they are full of shitware and ads

[boreal iron]

aye

[feral aspen]

I will.

One moment.

[quartz kindle]

and if you do, always read the installer carefully and uncheck/disable any additional software they may offer

[feral aspen]

IT WORKED.

🎉

[feral aspen]

Yes, I will.

[quartz kindle]

for example

if you ever see something like this, always disable that

[feral aspen]

Yup.

Oh thank god.

It worked.

Thank you! 😊

[lament stump]

does anyone know how to make a global boolean, so it is "true" or "false" everywhere in the project in JS?

[vivid fulcrum]

just... export it?

[lament stump]

wha

[vivid fulcrum]

what what

[lament stump]

what do you mean "just export it"

[vivid fulcrum]

...export it

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/web/javascript/reference/statements/export

[lament stump]

i still don't understand

[quartz kindle]

well you can always use global

global.myvar = true

its still limited to the current process tho, wont transfer to workers or child processes

[lament stump]

idk what workers or child processes are

i will try

wait

where do i put this

[quartz kindle]

anywhere

but you have to always use global

global is an object

treat it as such

[tired panther]

the moment, where you click very fast and do not read what you are clicking lol

[quartz kindle]

lul

happy infection :^)

[tired panther]

Altough I never install programms, I just have some default apps like word, vscode

.....

[lament stump]

still does not work

[tired panther]

what does not work?

[lament stump]

the global thing

[tired panther]

you want export a var?

[lament stump]

lemme make 2 sourcebins

reaction handler (where the role adding is happening) https://sourceb.in/WzlkO0IYl8
reaction add event https://sourceb.in/vhJ6BGS4e7

[quartz kindle]

you call the function first

so the function runs before you set the variable

[lament stump]

ohhhhh

so like

[quartz kindle]

why do you need it to be global there tho? why not just use the adding variable?

[lament stump]

before the "const handleReaction"

[lament stump]

it won't send it to the reaction handler

[quartz kindle]

why not?

[lament stump]

idk

it just won't

[quartz kindle]

const handleReaction = (reaction, user, adding) => {
console.log(adding)
const { message } = reaction
const { guild } = message

add that console.log there

see what it logs

[lament stump]

when the bot reacts: true
when I react: nothing, just blank spaces

[quartz kindle]

then you have something weird going on

[lament stump]

idk either

[quartz kindle]

add a console log to the event

[tired panther]

make you own system or lemme create it
what are the functions you need?

[lament stump]

wha

[quartz kindle]

module.exports = new Event("messageReactionAdd", async (client, reaction, user) => {
console.log(reaction.name, user.username)
handleReaction(reaction, user, true)

add that console.log there

[lament stump]

bruh now i restart

and "true" and "false" appeared

instead of the blank spaces

it returns "undefined magma"

and then "true" cuz of the other console log

but roles are not added

[quartz kindle]

so the adding variable works right?

so no need for the global thingy

[lament stump]

yeah

but the role is not added

even tho i told it to do so

[quartz kindle]

remove the global

and just put adding

[lament stump]

did that

still does not give the roles

[quartz kindle]

put console.logs on every line

analyze your variables

you have a lot of conditions that need to pass before you reach the role adding part

one of those conditions could be failing

console.log the relevant variables

[lyric mountain]

laughs in debugger

[earnest phoenix]

@oak cliff google it

[fickle magnet]

        command("!help",msg,()-> {
            System.out.println("hello");
        });
    }
    public static void command(String comm,String msg , Runnable func)  {
        if(comm.equals(msg))
        {
            func.run();
        }

    }

you're trying to override the message.delete() function?

why not just catch the error?

lmao

what are you trying to accomplish exactly?

[tired panther]

thats pog

[nimble kiln]

No

You go to that discord

[fossil grove]

I did

i go to the Discord server for bots and say said that this problem is weird cuz stripe said verification submitted

[nimble kiln]

Then why do you keep asking in here

[unreal estuary]

contact discord idk

[fossil grove]

and they said they can't help me

[unreal estuary]

not much we can do :c

[fossil grove]

I did from 2 weeks

[unreal estuary]

any reply

[nimble kiln]

Guys

[unreal estuary]

my ict teacher dissuaded me

[fossil grove]

I need to ask question

[unreal estuary]

like he did with everything we learnt

[midnight blaze]

Can someone tell me why this doesnt work?

nowhite = message.content.split("http://" || "https://")

Https will be ignored?? while http wont.

[tired panther]

|| checks if the first value is undefined and takes the second one, but it is not

[boreal iron]

split(/http:\/\/|https:\/\//gi)

[boreal iron]

just because it's case-sensitive

use the regex I mentioned above

[midnight blaze]

hmm, thanks, my regex sucks, what does gi mean again?

[boreal iron]

global and insensitive

[midnight blaze]

thanks

[boreal iron]

https://regex101.com/r/rIAGy8/1

[midnight blaze]

I always tried to learn regex, but only know some basic stuff, thanks will look into that

[worn elbow]

you might send the corrosponding code, we don't own magical glass balls

[earnest phoenix]

[worn elbow]

[boreal iron]

you might send the corrosponding code, we don't own magical glass balls

same answer

[tired panther]

;p;

[tired panther]

[boreal iron]

yeah we got it... calm

[opal plank]

tip: lowercase your string before passing that, i recall a friend told me its faster than letting regex handle the insensitive by itself

[boreal iron]

i recall a friend told me its faster

anything is faster than regex

[opal plank]

indeed, wont matter too much but still worthwhile

[boreal iron]

yeah... I didn't mention the easy way. lmao

[vivid fulcrum]

in .net5 there's like a 10us difference between using IndexOf and basic regex for a basic lookup, IndexOf being faster

so it like

varies i guess

[modest maple]

Yeah

And ceetain regex engines being faster and more powerful than others

If you have multiple things you want to find though regex is likely faster in the scale size depending on engine

Certain things will allow the regex to use certain algo's to reduce the time complexity

[boreal iron]

anyway toLowerString() is easier and faster for his case... but I like to do things more complicated

[vivid fulcrum]

lets do it even more complicated

[boreal iron]

oh oh

it starts

[vivid fulcrum]

take the codepoint of every character in the string then offset them so you get lowercase codepoints

i wonder how expensive that would be to actually do

that's basically what toLowerString does internally i guess

[boreal iron]

and compare the match after with a regex if both conditions are the same

[round cove]

oh wow my bot lol

You can DM me.

[boreal iron]

the challange to make things as slowly as possible

[modest maple]

Thats pretty easy with regex

[vivid fulcrum]

Unless you're something like the rust regex engine just get a infinite look back ez

[zenith terrace]

so many bits

what does double << do, never seen it used

[exotic galleon]

how do i add shard to my discord bot

[quartz kindle]

left shift

if you have the binary 00001

and you do << 3

you will get 01000

moves the number 3 binary digits to the left

[opal plank]

speaking of bitwise

im already at a factor of 23 digits on my fields

and they prob gonna increase

[zenith terrace]

cool, like x100

[quartz kindle]

if you get to 32, you have to switch to bigint

[unreal estuary]

im trying to learn python any tutorials for beginners

[quartz kindle]

you can try using tricks on it if you dont want to use bigints

reserve a digit for a master switch and bam, you have double the possibilities

but then you need 2 numbers

lmao

i didnt think this through

still, 2 numbers is gonna be faster than 1 bigint

[opal plank]

nono, bigint is fine, but its getting soooooo fucking big

i AM using bigint already

[quartz kindle]

then you're fine

[opal plank]

since its internally used, i shouldnt bitch about it

but it gets exponentially bigger

cuz im multiplying by 2 every time

[quartz kindle]

yes thats normal

it feels like its a lot

but its not

its just a single extra bit every time

[opal plank]

indeed

but its probably going to be increasing very soon

[quartz kindle]

imagine a 512bit bigint

[opal plank]

imma get there not too far into the future

[quartz kindle]

its not even that big

[opal plank]

its not even that big
-Tim, 2021, while staring at a huge ass number

[nimble kiln]

That's what she said

[quartz kindle]

this is a big number

[opal plank]

and all that is stored in memory

and all previous 5119 others

[quartz kindle]

its just 5kbit

less than 800 bytes

[opal plank]

ikik, like i said i shouldnt be bitching about it, its used internally

[muted vortex]

anyone here familiar with instagram integration? I can't find any bots that handle instagram, and I would code my own (I already have a bot for RSS feeds and I've done some twitter stuff) but I don't know enough about instagram

I know what instagram is, (images & videos) but I don't know enough about the under the hood stuff

a lot of the options I have looked at only link your own instagram account, not other people's instagrams

[solemn wyvern]

Same

[opal plank]

lmao

[opal plank]

#development message

i suggested an instagram bot a couple months ago

i dont think theres any that do that

you'd need to code own yourself

here specifically

i could probably set one up, but i dont have time to do that rn

[solemn wyvern]

Ah alr

[unreal estuary]

ive given up on learning python

[muted vortex]

I can probably do it, just need some input from someone that knows more about instagram than me

[opal plank]

i doubt there'd be much input tbh, you would have to reverse engineer their api or use puppeteer i think

[muted vortex]

do you think we could just fork TweetShift? (direct it to instagram instead of twitter) I'm sure there's elements of the mechanics I missing here though.

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[opal plank]

[opal plank]

i would personally start something from scratch

i did my own library for a youtube bot

cuz theres not a single one out there

if i were you, i would do the same

of course, mine is private

but it'd be best to make it yourself in all honesty

i would be interested in doing it tbh, an instagram bot for discord

though i would proof it, asking the people who are attempted to follow permission before having the bot post their stuff

!follow @ user

then on instagram, fetch that user and dm them asking if they want to be integrated onto discord

[muted vortex]

I'd be using to follow public instagrams, (fan pages, etc. not individuals' private instagrams)

[opal plank]

i would personally allow privates too

a lot of people enjoy it

but ask for confirmation beforehand

use a db with all followed/requested users

put a status on them

allowed | requested | denied

could likely have a global feed and private scope

so you can have feeds on discord only on specific users

could make it quite interesting tbh

like i said, i'd love to help, but i've got a lot of coding to do already

postgres , redis, typescript, axios and detritus

i'd pick that bunch for everything

make the wrapper/lib for instagram using axios and postgres

and use redis and detritus to handle the sending messages to discord and the caching

personally, that'd be what i'd use

[quartz kindle]

hug

[dusky lagoon]

How can i make it in a embed message that the title is connected with a link but isnt blue

[opal plank]

i dont think you can, even if you put author it should still be blue

[rose warren]

If I have a bot running in only 1 server where it edits a message every 30s for 7 days I should be ok when it comes to rate limiting right?

[zenith terrace]

30 seconds should be fine

[rose warren]

Ok. I originally had it at 10s but I can get away with 30 and it seemed the safer option

[opal plank]

in only 1 server, its fine.

THOUGH, just a fair warning

[opal plank]

Discord has a very loose interpretation of API abuse; as quoted by them:

@​​Danny automating the API in that way /is/ abuse. Automatically doing "X" every N is generally not a good idea. Where X could be posting a message, changing someone s nickname, renaming a role, changing a channel topic, etc... 

Generally bots should only react to user actions... 

Although, for very large N we generally don t care. But for small N, we do care. Think rainbow bots, etc....

"N" is not really defined, as rate limits are not a good thing to try to get very close to. You re going to have to mostly use common sense here, compare how close you are the rate limit, how often you do this, etc.

[nimble kiln]

What are you doing? 😮

[boreal iron]

moving a database to a new machine... more regenerating it than moving

[nimble kiln]

ugh what

[quartz kindle]

damn thats a huge db

[nimble kiln]

800GB database

[boreal iron]

Rows 4,000,000,000

[quartz kindle]

what kind of content does it have?

[boreal iron]

id and hashes of the ids

[quartz kindle]

about what

files? employees? videos on youtube?

[boreal iron]

you are very curious

[quartz kindle]

xD

[boreal iron]

all steam ids

it's a lookup table

[quartz kindle]

4 billion steam ids?

interesting

[boreal iron]

yeah

[quartz kindle]

do you work for steam?

lmao

[boreal iron]

~ 2,7 B accounts are exisiting atm

nope

[quartz kindle]

interesting how almost 2 thirds of it is indexes and not actual data

databases are really not made to be space efficient

just as fast as possible

[boreal iron]

yeah there's no better way unfortunally

aye

need to index both hash columns which made it huge

just make it damn fast responsive

game server protocols are providing user ids which are hashes of steam id (for data protection or whatever)

if you know how the hash is built you can easy generate a list of all existing steam ids and lookup the hash to get the actual steam id

[quartz kindle]

so you're basically brute forcing hashes lul

[boreal iron]

going further and comparing this with rcon protocol data you will get all kind of data... ip adresses, activities, etc. to them for geo location lookups and merics

[quartz kindle]

damn

[boreal iron]

yeah which makes me be able to provide services like activites and bascially a whole history of users seen on steam

unless the data is provided or share with me which increases my data collection

and made it more accurate

[quartz kindle]

so you're making some sort of steam search engine?

google steam

[boreal iron]

the more game service providers wanna know my user history data and provide their data to me, the more data I have and even more accurate it gets

ew not really

a lot of big gaming communities wanna know which players are playing on their servers

the history, possible bans, cheats, geo location, all ever used IP addresses etc.

just to decide to let people in or block them

[quartz kindle]

isnt that a lot of privacy violation?

[boreal iron]

huh what privacy? never heard that word in my life

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[boreal iron]

it's actually not

at the moment you connect to a game server for example you accept the ToS of the game and Steam and the game service provider (the hoster)

which means your telemetry data (ip address) will be logged etc.

anywhere you send your packets to, you know

now imagine a game service provider wanna block certain countries or blocked accounts etc.

[quartz kindle]

ah so you're providing this system for the service providers

[boreal iron]

nope for big gaming communities

they're providing their data to me

[quartz kindle]

ah

[boreal iron]

in return they've unlimited access to my API

looking up the hashes to get the actual steam id (the real identity of the player)

and any ever collected telemetry data with it

I've also built backend tech to scan certain anti-cheat platforms for responses about the target steam id

watching, investigating and reverse-engineering how apps and games did those requests and boom rebuilt it with php and now js

[quartz kindle]

awesome stuff

[boreal iron]

hmm all this started while managing and developing backend, apps & tools for gaming communities

some good profit at least

only issue is the size of the data

and I'm currently moving all the stuff to new servers

hardware has changed a lot in the last year and my intel servers are overpriced and outdated

[carmine summit]

how do I convert ["a", "b", "c"] to "["a", "b", "c"]"

should I just toString() it then add the parenthesis at the first and end?

[sudden geyser]

I believe so.

[boreal iron]

let array = ["a", "b", "c"];
JSON.stringify(array);    // "["a", "b", "c"]"

[sudden geyser]

^ Better answer

[carmine summit]

how do I fix this: https://hst.sh/raw/opunuwupoy

[boreal iron]

huh?

[earnest phoenix]

can someone help me test if my bot works?

[sudden geyser]

Whatever you tried stringifying returned [object Object]

A common default

[carmine summit]

also, when I use JSON.stringify, my app runs out of memory

[sudden geyser]

So whatever you used it on was very large which caused a very expensive operation

[carmine summit]

oh

how do I fix it?

should I filter it?

to remove the unecessary

[lyric mountain]

If you've started having issues converting a json to string you should consider using a database

[dire obsidian]

So I read that you can make exe out of js, but i wanted to know if it's recomendable

[lyric mountain]

That's by using electron

Define "recomendable"

[dire obsidian]

pkg

[dire obsidian]

Somehow "viable"

[carmine summit]

I have an object, and it has a lot of data. I want to delete the unecessary data, and keep the important data. What is the best way to do it?

I have the names of the important items

the others can go

[lyric mountain]

Look, that's smelling like json db

[dire obsidian]

json best db jk

[lyric mountain]

If you're using json for read/write data you seriously need to rethink your data storage

[lyric mountain]

Maybe, it rally boils down to what it does

Like, javascript really excels on web stuff

But being monothread means it'll be seriously capped on desktop stuff

[dire obsidian]

So, should i learn a desktop language for desktop apps

Ye

[lyric mountain]

It's still possible to make a fully functional desktop app in js, but optimization is a must

[dire obsidian]

Is js slow?

[lyric mountain]

It's not that it's slow

[carmine summit]

im so confused

[lyric mountain]

It's the thread issue

Doing heavy calculations on render thread makes the UI slow

And js works on a single thread

[dire obsidian]

That means, fuck js for desktop go learn some​ c++

K gotta take that in consideration

[lyric mountain]

C++, c#, java, delphi, etc etc

There're probably a myriad of other desktop langs out there

I can only name those

[dire obsidian]

Any good lang if im already familiarized with js?

[lyric mountain]

You'd be looking for a dynamically typed lang with OOP capability

Idk about any that's as abstract as js

Well, I mean

There's lua but I've never seen it anywhere outside of its very specific niche

[dire obsidian]

I think im going to go for python

Ik their syntaxes are way different

[lyric mountain]

Python also has thread issues

[dire obsidian]

O fck

[lyric mountain]

But it's a different issue than js

[dire obsidian]

Then a c based programming language?

[lyric mountain]

You see, threads in python are either:

A - Synchronized
B - Totally isolated processes

Sync threads are useless

And isolated processes can't be called threads at all

[dire obsidian]

._ .

God i think im just going to learn c#

[lyric mountain]

That'd be a better option

[dire obsidian]

Does wine run that type of apps?

[lyric mountain]

Iirc c# runs on linux

[dire obsidian]

Hmmm k

Time to make a calculator

[lyric mountain]

Web langs, embedded langs and desktop langs. Each to their purpose

[dire obsidian]

Hmmm ok

[old cliff]

Binary diff

[lyric mountain]

Before learning programming I thought programs were made with batch

[dusky sundial]

Before I learned programming I thought all programs were mathematically programmed pixel by pixel

[old cliff]

Wtf

[dusky sundial]

Like, I imagined that game devs just programmed every specific pixel to change

for some reason

tbf I was like 11

[old cliff]

I thought that they were made using binary

I was 8

I learnt html at 9

Or 10

[dusky sundial]

Oh yeah, and I thought .dll files were manually written as well. Since I opened them with a text editor and was like "woah this looks weird"
