development

[placid meadow]

hahaha

my server located at lethal.click thats my actualy host

best hostname ever

[simple zodiac]

is it.. a logger?

like if i go there lmao

[placid meadow]

logger? hell no we are a community of developers and gamers

[simple zodiac]

oh ok

wanna make sure lmao

[placid meadow]

dude that host is protected by a DDoS Coreo smartwall protection, noway that i can do these weird things 😛

they would instantly remove my package

[slender thistle]

Discord bots usually don't need much

[simple zodiac]

i dunno what that is (what u said just now barret)

[slender thistle]

The cheap ones work most of the time

[placid meadow]

@simple zodiac https://www.corero.com/product/smartwall-ddos-protection/

[simple zodiac]

shivaco do you have any cheapish vps's that you know of that would host my bot good?

[placid meadow]

i paid good money for that

[slender thistle]

There are few VPS companies listed in the pins here

[placid meadow]

my bots, websites are all behind there

safe and sound

[simple zodiac]

ill look at that

[slender thistle]

SkySilk might have something cheap

Oho, DDoS protection

Just don't leak your IPs

[simple zodiac]

Which of these listed here do you think would be the best? #development message

[placid meadow]

yeah 😂

[slender thistle]

Err, look around and compare the specs/prices yourself

[placid meadow]

i was hit not so long ago by an angry script kiddie

dude pressed a SYN attack onto my doorsteps

pfff

[simple zodiac]

I mean, all of them for the starting at seem fine

[simple zodiac]

whats that

[placid meadow]

have u seen the visualization @slender thistle ?

was big

[slender thistle]

I don't even remember

I think you sent it somewhere

Either here or in #general

[placid meadow]

poof

that was me

in the middle

-.-

[simple zodiac]

oh

was that like a ddos or whateevr

[slender thistle]

Hahahaha oh dear

[placid meadow]

SYN attack ...sort of

[simple zodiac]

i dont know the terms

[placid meadow]

it kept doing this 2 weeks

non stop

24/7

hoping it would die..

[slender thistle]

Lmao

[placid meadow]

so i stepped in, made some calls

paid some ppl

and it got fixed

so basically this script kiddie caused me damage 😛 or at least a bill of payment

[slender thistle]

🤣

[placid meadow]

if i find him, ill make sure he will never be able to pick up a mouse

lil bastard

but thats not important ^^

[slender thistle]

[placid meadow]

not violence, its a federal offense obviously

[slender thistle]

Aha I see what you mean now

[placid meadow]

hehehe

[slender thistle]

[placid meadow]

anyway i gotta take a nap, work tomorrow

or today actually

[simple zodiac]

[placid meadow]

see you peeps soon again 😉

[simple zodiac]

good bye

[slender thistle]

Ooh, ya, don't be like me staying awake until 6 am and waking up in the noon

Have a good sleep o7

[placid meadow]

3:30 now 😛

[slender thistle]

Oh boy someone's gonna have a rough morning

[placid meadow]

nah my work starts on 1400u

so im gud

[slender thistle]

Oh nice

Ya sleep well

[placid meadow]

seeya lads

[simple zodiac]

bye bye

so

shiv if you know

how would i actually host the bot?

If i were to buy a VPS

cause i'm looking at vultr.com and from what i saw in the pins it looks good for what i could pay for

[slender thistle]

Well it's a VPS

[simple zodiac]

yeah i dont know much about em

[slender thistle]

Connect via SSH to run commands in the terminal, FTP for file sending

[simple zodiac]

ehhhhhhhhhhh i have no idea what that means

well i kinda know what ftp is

i have like filezilla

[slender thistle]

File transfer protocol

[simple zodiac]

yeah but idk what ssh is really

[winged linden]

If linux u can use winscap to ftp

[slender thistle]

Secure Shell

[winged linden]

Or putty^

[slender thistle]

Yeah, PuTTY is an SSH client

[simple zodiac]

I'm looking at vultr.com and on the pricing it looks like its using linux?

[winged linden]

Yeah pretty sure

[slender thistle]

Yeah most VPS use Linux

[simple zodiac]

damn that suckks

atleast for me ig

[slender thistle]

How come?

[simple zodiac]

i dont know how to use it

lol

[winged linden]

Its simple once u are used to it

[simple zodiac]

i use windows

[slender thistle]

You have Google at your disposal

😛

[simple zodiac]

well yeah

[slender thistle]

Though most commands are simple tbf

[winged linden]

Yeah dw once u have it u will get used to it

[slender thistle]

Hell, all my Linux experience was gotten from Google

[winged linden]

True

[simple zodiac]

mhm

Do you know how i would like start to host it after i would buy it

[winged linden]

just upload the files, install node.js pm2 and some stuff and just pm2 start filename

[winged linden]

Yeah its simple trust me

[simple zodiac]

would i need to re do all the npm i stuff i did in my terminal?

like npm i discord.js (and whatever else)

[winged linden]

Npm i and it will install all the modules

[simple zodiac]

if i just install node it will do everything?

im confused

[winged linden]

Yeah but if u have the files just do npm i in the your bots file

[simple zodiac]

oh would i upload like the packages.json

[winged linden]

Yeah

Atleast thats what i do and it works like a charm

[simple zodiac]

alright thank you

So like just any file in my repl, I would upload to the vps?

If i do end up getting one, would you mind helping me like in dms at some point? I understand if not

[slender thistle]

Try googling each step you do

Like "vultr connect ssh", "upload files ftp", yada yada

[simple zodiac]

I’ve done like one thing before using filezilla, so I think i’d know how to do that part

But yeah the ssh thing and prolly anything else is what would mess me up

[slender thistle]

Linux commands are easy

I'm sure you'll figure them out with Google

Can ask in this server in case Google fails you

[solemn latch]

if you use bitvise it will open a ssh and sftp(filezilla) at the same time, can make things a lot easier.

[lost wadi]

Do you know how to get the quantity of all the items?

let arreglo = [
["a", "e", "i"],
["o", "u"]
]
console.log(arreglo.length) //2

[solemn latch]

so, you want 5?

probably reduce.

[lost wadi]

yes

[solemn latch]

yeah, reduce is how i would do it

[lost wadi]

I do not know how to do that

[solemn latch]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/Reduce

[silver monolith]

i am genuinely confused

so i have a currency and item system

and so you can give items to someone

so obviously not to make the command broken

i made it so that if you dont have any of that item you can't give it

but sometimes you can

note: SOMETIMES

like if you have 0 you can give someone and it'll be negative

most of the time it doesnt work

btw i use quick.db

[solemn latch]

whats your code look like?

[silver monolith]

one sec im sending it

//defining the item, i dont use db.push because im too lazy to actually use my brain idk
    let valoofheads = db.fetch(`valoofhed_${user.id}`)
    let uservaloofheads = db.fetch(`valoofhed_${author}`) //author was defined as message.author.id, i did that to not have to type so much
    if (valoofheads === null) valoofheads = 0;
//in the command, this specific item is broken, not the others
else if(args[1] === '5'){
                if(!args[2]){
                    if(uservaloofheads === 0) message.channel.send(`uh you don't have any Valentine's Day Oofheads \nget at least one Valentine's Day OofHead`)
                    else{
                    db.add(`valoofhed_${user.id}`, 1);
                    db.subtract(`valoofhed_${author}`, 1);
                    message.channel.send(`Gave 1 :LIMITEDicon:IMITED Valentine's Day OofHead to ${user.username}`)
                    db.set(`give_${author}`, Date.now())
                    }```

it was only discovered today

waait

i just realized

i never said if uservaloofheads === null its equal to 0

that may be the bug

wait

but that's the thing for all of the items

will update that right now

[drifting wedge]

TypeError: 'bool' object does not support item assignment``````py
        guild_data = self.gcollection.find({"_id":guild.id})
        for gd in guild_data:
            gd = gd["in_guild"] = False
            gd = gd["delete_timer"] = time() + 259200

            self.gcollection.insert_one(gd)```

any ideas?

[half sable]

Help me

[opal plank]

.flat() is probably better

[solemn latch]

oh .flat().length?

[opal plank]

yup

[solemn latch]

cool, thanks for the tip

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[opal plank]

linus got nothing on me

[twilit geode]

does anyone have a set of card emotes they use?
a zip folder would be wonderful :)

[long crow]

Not really on development, but how does one deal with UX? You know when I start applying my bot to top.gg, I only cared about it going pass. Now that it got into top.gg list, and surely will have more audience. The UX is come into my worries

[twilit geode]

get some friends to test your bot

[twilit geode]

make it as flexible as possible

for instance
!help
! help
@bot
should all return the help command
(sorry for rando ping)

[long crow]

ya, I did have the mention prefix

thinking to make feedback command

[twilit geode]

I just have people go to support server, its easier to manage

[long crow]

I have one, but as now it only me, and my 2 bots. lmao

[twilit geode]

it will be for a while lol

[long crow]

Though, most ppl that invite my bot know me

[twilit geode]

but people filter through mine pretty regularly lol

[long crow]

so that;s that

[twilit geode]

not sure if its a good thing or not ;-;

[lethal ermine]

a question could someone tell me how to make a whebook of votes?

[vivid fulcrum]

a webhook?

webhooks in a nutshell are basically reverse APIs

so instead of you making a request to top.gg's API

top.gg makes a request to you

so setting up a simple HTTP server

and then giving that url to top.gg (through the bot page settings) is enough

[lethal ermine]

How do I do that?

[earnest phoenix]

Is discord on scratch a library?

[twilit geode]

so setting up a simple HTTP server
and then giving that url to top.gg (through the bot page settings) is enough

read

[simple zodiac]

Anyone with knowledge on VPS's know if this is good for the money? (5/month for this) I wanna host my bot on a vps but idk if this is good enough for it (the 1024 is memory, and the 1tb is bandwidth )

[solemn latch]

I dont see a problem there

[simple zodiac]

who me?

[solemn latch]

yeah

[simple zodiac]

oh aite cool thanks

[solemn latch]

i dont really know geek bench scores. most providers i know give the cpu model used rather than a score. so i cant really say if its a great cpu or performance. 2523 single core seems around normal for the price.

[simple zodiac]

alright thx

[frigid mountain]

const Discord = require('discord.js')

module.exports = {
    name: 'send',
    run: async (message, args) => {
    const channel = message.mentions.channels.first()
    const avatar = `${user.displayAvatarURL({dynamic: true})}`
    const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setTitle("Mod updates")
    .setDescription("These are very important messages for moderators")
    .setColor("#FF005B")//lime pink
    .addField("Modmail", `${sayMessage}`, true)
    .setTimestamp()
    .setFooter("Modmail", avatar)
    
        channel.send(embed) 
   
    }
}

It says error user is undefined so can someone pls help me define user

[earnest phoenix]

const user = author or something idk

[old cliff]

I smell copy pasta

but to help

Just do

const user = message.author

[frigid mountain]

I did not copy paste anything I swear to god

[river panther]

oh, so you pulled and pushed the code?

[frigid mountain]

Made it from scratch

[river panther]

https://tenor.com/view/scratch-scratch-cat-gif-19251625

[frigid mountain]

Ok then

[river panther]

const Discord = require('discord.js')

module.exports = {
    name: 'send',
    run: async (message, args) => {
    const channel = message.mentions.channels.first()
    const avatar = message.author.displayAvatarURL({dynamic: true})
    const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setTitle("Mod updates")
    .setDescription("These are very important messages for moderators")
    .setColor("#FF005B")//lime pink
    .addField("Modmail", `${sayMessage}`, true)
    .setTimestamp()
    .setFooter("Modmail", avatar)
   
        channel.send(embed) 
   
    }
}

wait

wot

[frigid mountain]

?

[river panther]

what are you trying to achieve in this command

and why have you made it so complicated?

[frigid mountain]

It suppose to send my message to.the mentioned channel example +send #chat hello there

[river panther]

const { MessageEmbed } = require('discord.js')

module.exports = {
    name: 'send',
    run: async (message, args) => {
    const channel = message.mentions.channels.first()
    const avatar = message.author.displayAvatarURL({dynamic: true})
    const embed = new MessageEmbed()
    .setTitle("Mod updates")
    .setDescription("These are very important messages for moderators")
    .setColor("#FF005B")//lime pink
    .addField("Modmail", `${sayMessage}`, true)
    .setTimestamp()
    .setFooter("Modmail", avatar)
    channel.send(embed) 
   }
}

why does it say modmail then

?

[frigid mountain]

Cause im only gona use it for the mod channels in my server

[river panther]

i would rather do (let me type it down real quick)

const { MessageEmbed } = require('discord.js'); 
module.exports = {
name: "send",
run: async(bot, message, args)=>{
const channel = message.mentions.channels.first();
const text = args.slice(1).join(" ");
const avatar = message.author.displayAvatarURL({dynamic: true});
const embed = new MessageEmbed()
.setAuthor(bot.user.username, bot.user.displayAvatarURL())
.setTitle("Mod updates")
.setDescription("These are very important messages for moderators")
.setColor("#FF005B")//lime pink
.addField("the text:-", text, true)
.setTimestamp()
.setFooter(message.author.username, avatar)
channel.send(embed)

@frigid mountain

what is v?

you haven't declared it anywhere

[frigid mountain]

My command handler is very different from that so it wont work

[river panther]

wait, what?

idts the command handler will make any difference

[slender thistle]

Fucking hell what's going on here even

[river panther]

i just did what you did just made it clearer

[river panther]

a professional js programmer is making me confusion

[frigid mountain]

Lol

[river panther]

breh, show me your command handler once

the thing which make the difference is the event handler

the MESSAGE event

[earnest phoenix]

```database.query(INSERT INTO captcha (guild_id, channel, logs, role) VALUES (${server}, ${verifyChannel}, ${verifyLogs}, ${verifyRole}))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list```

[river panther]

the command handler is used for posting the commands

[earnest phoenix]

How can i do?

[river panther]

syntax error

it is

[earnest phoenix]

yes

for the latest `

[river panther]

what language?

[earnest phoenix]

sql

& js

[river panther]

database.query(`INSERT INTO captcha (guild_id, channel, logs, role`) VALUES (`${server}`, `${verifyChannel}`, `${verifyLogs}`, `${verifyRole}`)

now try

oh wait

[earnest phoenix]

since last night I have been looking (I am in France) but I cannot find where to place it

[river panther]

database.query(`INSERT INTO captcha (guild_id), channel, logs, role`) VALUES (`${server}`, `${verifyChannel}`, `${verifyLogs}`, `${verifyRole}`)

now it is correct

[slender thistle]

No lol

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[river panther]

no?

why

[slender thistle]

It's not correct

[river panther]

what will be correct?

[earnest phoenix]

👀

[slender thistle]

database.query(`INSERT INTO captcha (guild_id), channel, logs, role`)

[river panther]

i also did this

[slender thistle]

Do you see what's wrong with this

[river panther]

umm

idk sql, but syntax...

[earnest phoenix]

wtf

[river panther]

wot

[earnest phoenix]

guild_id this is an info that I want to enter

[slender thistle]

database.query(`INSERT INTO captcha (guild_id, channel, logs, role) VALUES (`${server}`, `${verifyChannel}`, `${verifyLogs}`, `${verifyRole}`)`)
                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

[river panther]

@slender thistle oi, tell

[slender thistle]

Let's see where your string ends

:)

[earnest phoenix]

and what is in parentheses is the columns in which information must be entered

[river panther]

maybe

wait

database.query(`INSERT INTO captcha (guild_id, channel, logs, role`) VALUES (`${server}`, `${verifyChannel}`, `${verifyLogs}`, `${verifyRole}`)`)

now?

oh wait

[earnest phoenix]

database.query(`INSERT INTO captcha (guild_id, channel, logs, role`) VALUES (`${server}`, `${verifyChannel}`, `${verifyLogs}`, `${verifyRole}`))

this?

[river panther]

database.query(`INSERT INTO captcha (guild_id, channel, logs, role)` VALUES (`${server}`, `${verifyChannel}`, `${verifyLogs}`, `${verifyRole}`)`)

now?

[slender thistle]

Fucking blind poking into the dark

[earnest phoenix]

unitl ` (latest)

[slender thistle]

Does your framework support named parameters?

[river panther]

i shall just walk out of it since idk this nicely

[earnest phoenix]

me?

[slender thistle]

Both of you

[slender thistle]

Answer this

[earnest phoenix]

already try, and he say me … is not a function

[earnest phoenix]

ye

[slender thistle]

Then use them

[silver lintel]

how do i reduce my websocket ping? like what is it depended upon, it used to be 15ms and now its 200ms

so basically you want to have your terminal open for 7 hours, then wait 17 hours, then repeat. tada, now your bot is online 7/24

[rocky hearth]

it is possible to make bots with dart?

[modest crane]

yes

[rocky hearth]

how is there any lib available for dart?

[modest crane]

there's nyxx

[median iris]

My bot got approved

[umbral skiff]

hi

I bought a server, but up to now it always shows Error

Error [VOICE_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT]: Connection not established within 15 seconds
how to fix it

server ping 39ms

[vagrant prairie]

You mean 24/7?

[pale vessel]

[rocky hearth]

he meant a bot, that runs, exactly 7hrs a day

[pale vessel]

why limit it

[vagrant prairie]

l0l

[pale vessel]

/s/s/s

[vagrant prairie]

^

[rocky hearth]

jokes aside, I wanted to ask
if we can extend a class (with Structures) that is already extended by a command handler (Commando).

I want to structure the CommandoMessage which itself extends the Message.

[silver lintel]

will locating a vps server closer to discord's server make the websocket ping faster?

[pale vessel]

Yes of course

[silver lintel]

because i set one in sydney and now its over 200ms

[vagrant prairie]

I don’t care about ping bcz yes

[umbral skiff]

my bot ping 40

[silver lintel]

so where should i locate it if the options are

[vagrant prairie]

My bot ping m pong!

[umbral skiff]

but when i try to play music ping up to 500

and say error connection not established within 15 seconds

[vagrant prairie]

What specs do you run on?

I’ve seen that error multiple times

[umbral skiff]

2c 4gb and 25gb ssd

[pale vessel]

My VPS is located in Silicon Valley and the WS ping is 80ms

[vagrant prairie]

So, is it the only bot running on the server?

[silver lintel]

i hosted it on glitch before and it was 15ms

[umbral skiff]

my vps is located united states

[vagrant prairie]

Same here

[silver lintel]

which one should i pick?

[vagrant prairie]

I use a cheap VPS service

NY

[pale vessel]

New York I guess

[silver lintel]

ok

[umbral skiff]

Some say the bot should be given some permission

[vagrant prairie]

Lol no

[earnest phoenix]

message.guild.channels.exists```
For v12 please ?

[pale vessel]

channels.cache.has(id)

[umbral skiff]

but it have administration , I do not think that there is a problem with that

[vagrant prairie]

I believe that’s a TPS/CORE error

Lack of cores

I have 10 v cores

And my bot still lags af

[earnest phoenix]

if (message.guild.channels.cache.has('name', "partner" || 'name', "partnership"))```
@pale vessel :/

[pale vessel]

you have to use .find() and provide a function

[umbral skiff]

@vagrant prairie I think there is limit speed per second

in my vps

[earnest phoenix]

hi guys do you have any host suggestions for my bot?

[vagrant prairie]

That can also be the problem

Contact your host provider to confirm

[umbral skiff]

Because only when I play the music does the ping rise

[vagrant prairie]

Vivalnodes In best in my opinion

It’s cheap and nice

[pale vessel]

pins

[earnest phoenix]

mmmh

[vagrant prairie]

Digital ocean is expensive ;-;

My friend runs like 1 BIG BIG BIG Minecraft server+2 BIG BIG BOG bots on a 18gb ram VPS paying 20$

[earnest phoenix]

okay i'll see your suggestions

thanks

have a good night or day

[lusty quest]

for hardware usually you get what you pay. most cheap VPS use some older Hardware that runs slower, while higher priced Hardware should also run on more recent hardware.
this is atleast my Opinion on it

[vagrant prairie]

Is Ryzen c

Old*?

[lusty quest]

depends on the generation

[river panther]

you ass

[pale vessel]

bruh

[lusty quest]

but yea i know hoster who run these Cheap VPS on some older Xeon CPUs from 2009

sure it works, but its inefficent to keep the hardware, but they wont get new one bcs stupid reasons

[vagrant prairie]

Intel Xeon E3-1230v3/1650v2
20GB Storage
4vCores
DDoS Protection included
Unmetered bandwith
Virtualization KVM
These kinds?

[lusty quest]

yea its a 2013 CPU sure still fine but slow

Digitalocean is fine to start with, they have some pretty good Support, some of the best Docs for almost everything. but yea they get relatively expensive if you need stuff like Compute Optimized CPUs (2 Cores , 4GB Ram for 40$/Month lol)

[lofty nova]

There are hosts who offer free hosting too

[vagrant prairie]

CPU Ryzen 7 3700X, 2 vCore
Clock Speed @4.0/4.4 GHz
DDR4 RAM 4 GB
NVMe SSD Storage 60 GB
DDOS Protection 250gbps
Uplink 1gbps
Bandwidth Unmetered
Virtualization KVM

[lusty quest]

if its free it sucks

[vagrant prairie]

Pins

[lusty quest]

its ok but still only 2 cores

[lofty nova]

The one i use is good

[lusty quest]

there are no Good Free Hosts

[vagrant prairie]

I use this for 3.50/mo

[lusty quest]

the only exeption i would say is the 1 year free credit from AWS or google

[opal plank]

except using your friend's paid VPS, thats a good free host

[vagrant prairie]

I used to.

[opal plank]

or forcing your friend to leave their computers running ur bot 24/7

[lusty quest]

thats noting that everyone can get

[lusty quest]

yea i wont pay much more for this

[vagrant prairie]

Lol

[lusty quest]

currently i have my Dedi with a Ryzen 3600 64GB ECC Memory and 2 512GB NVME SSDs in Raid 1

also Gigabit connection and unlimited bandwith usage

[lunar patio]

hmm

[timber frost]

quick Q, what the safe limit for a status to be updated every so often? am guessing that once every min should be fine??

[dusky sundial]

The limit is around once every 5 seconds

[timber frost]

okay thanks, I dont have to worry about it then :3

[river panther]

send it again

    const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    
    .setTitle("warned!")
    .setDescription(`${user.username} has been warned by ${message.author.username}`)
    .setColor("#FF005B")

        user.send(embed2)
     }
}

what have you declared the client as

bot or client?

[frigid mountain]

Client

Wait wdym?

[river panther]

ergh

show me your index.js

first 4-5 lines

[slender thistle]

What does it matter in this case

Isn't the client object passed as bot anyway

[river panther]

nope, some define it as a bot some define it as a client

yes

its slient

client

[frigid mountain]

K

[slender thistle]

run: async (bot, message, args) => {

I'm referring to this

[river panther]

const Discord = require('discord.js')

modules.exports = {
    name: 'warn',
    run: async (client, message, args) => {
    const sayMessage = args.join(" ")
    const user = message.mentions.users.first()
    const avatar = `${user.displayAvatarURL({dynamic: true})}`
    const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    
    .setTitle("warned!")
    .setDescription(`${user.username} has been warned by ${message.author.username}`)
    .setColor("#FF005B")
    .addField("Reason:", `${sayMessage}`, true)
    .setTimestamp()
    .setFooter(`${user.username}`, avatar)
    
       message.channel.send(embed)
       
    const embed2 = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setAuthor(`${user.username}`, avatar)
    .setTitle("You have been warned")
    .setColor("RANDOM")
    .setDescription(`Moderator: ${message.author.username}`)
    .addField("Reason", `${sayMessage}`, true)
    .setTimestamp()
    .setFooter("dm warned")
          
        user.send(embed2)
     }
}

try now

[slender thistle]

... what's the fucking difference...

[river panther]

there is

[slender thistle]

What's the difference exactly

[river panther]

this comes in the event handler

so you need to use whatever there is here

if there is client here

then you need to use client

[earnest phoenix]

@livid jackal

[river panther]

if there is bot you need to use bot

[slender thistle]

Dude the name plays no role

[river panther]

it does, read the discord.js docs

[umbral zealot]

it doesn't if you actually know javascript

[slender thistle]

If you assign your client object to client and pass it into bot parameter

[umbral zealot]

[slender thistle]

you use bot

Because that's what it's named

And that's how you refer to the object

There's no damn difference in this case

[river panther]

oh

[slender thistle]

Sure there can be cases where the parameter name can show a name from an outer scope

which doesn't apply here

[river panther]

https://tenor.com/view/themoreyouknow-more-know-gif-4483207

[frigid mountain]

Still doesn't work :(

[slender thistle]

What's the error

[river panther]

^

show the stack

[frigid mountain]

It's so bad theres no error code just doesn't work :(

[river panther]

is the bot even reading this file?

whagt did you put there, client or bot

maybe it might make a difference

[frigid mountain]

Client

[river panther]

try bot once

[slender thistle]

Sounds like either silencing exceptions or the bot doesn't even read the file

And I can't tell which one it is

[frigid mountain]

Still doesn't work

[slender thistle]

Can you send your full code

main file preferably

[river panther]

yes

you can also do

process.on('unhandledException', () => {})

this will fix all the errors by itself

and only a few will be shown

very rare

[slender thistle]

"fix"...

[umbral zealot]

yeah no that fixes fuck all

[river panther]

don't spoil it

[umbral zealot]

it just makes your code completely impossible to debug

[slender thistle]

Let's not troll here now

[river panther]

ok k

[opal plank]

DONT

so much for small voice of reason

[river panther]

wot

[opal plank]

this

ur name

and then recommending this

[river panther]

exdi

[marble juniper]

I mean it fixes the issue since it removes all errors

[opal plank]

[marble juniper]

[river panther]

if i were to put some codes of discord.js on github

i would put that

and many bugs

[marble juniper]

isn't debugging the process of removing bugs and therefore errors as well?

[river panther]

would love to see the copy mpatsersstruggle

[marble juniper]

well you can straight skip to the remove error part using the snippet that @river panther showed

forget removing the bug

removing the error is where its at

[river panther]

there will be no bug if you see no error

[marble juniper]

true

[river panther]

exdi

[marble juniper]

bug becomes existen't if error doesn't show

[river panther]

^

hence proved

[marble juniper]

eri is developing an internal hate against us now

[river panther]

use

process.on('unhandledException', () => {})

[marble juniper]

I meant

erwin

[river panther]

i simp for detritus

just say this 3 times

[marble juniper]

lol

[river panther]

and he will start liking you

[marble juniper]

erwin teach me detritius I don't like discord.js anymore

I need something better than discord.js

🥺

[opal plank]

dont call me daddy

[rocky hearth]

how can I load a env file from terminal?

[marble juniper]

fine

sorry

[river panther]

@opal plank can you do custom caching in detritus.js?

[marble juniper]

erwin teach me detritius I don't like discord.js anymore

[opal plank]

yes

[marble juniper]

🥺

[river panther]

wowowow, what all can you not cache?

[opal plank]

https://discord.gg/TZ2z3CSR
http://detritusjs.com/

[opal plank]

yeah

[marble juniper]

help me erwin escape the hell of discord.js and allow me to enter the detritus heaven

ok thanks

[river panther]

inghlis

@opal plank can we remove errors in detritus.js using

process.on('unhandledException', () => {})

[marble juniper]

no

@opal plank can you use detritus with typescript

im too blind to see so tell me

[opal plank]

yers

[marble juniper]

nice

[opal plank]

i'll legit hit u if continue with ironic questions

[marble juniper]

cuz I kinda ditched js lately

for ts

[marble juniper]

me?

lol

[marble juniper]

oh sorry

lol

was too lazy to read

im not really fully awake tbh

[earnest phoenix]

When you enter development channel and the first thing you see is erwin talking about detritus, ecks dee

[pale vessel]

Literally me just now

My god

Seriously what the fuck

[winged linden]

MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 disconnect listeners added to [VoiceConnection]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit
how can i know from which command this is
From?

[umbral zealot]

Clearly one that uses VoiceConnection

[winged linden]

Well yh there is not only 1 cmnd for that lmao

[earnest phoenix]

You keep adding the exact same event listener

[umbral zealot]

well the hint is that usually this happens if oyu do a client.on("something") within another event, or on a loop

[winged linden]

Okayy thanks

[onyx hare]

bottom of my mute.js isnt working
err

[umbral zealot]

uhhhh

json.parse(fs.***write***FileSync) ???

Also, don't use JSON as a database, that's wrong.

Read: #development message

[earnest phoenix]

I have a little problem,

I am currently under MYSQL, for an command I retrieved information from a table (it's a channel id), it retrieves it correctly but when I want to mention the channel, it puts deleted-channel

how can i do?

The ID is probably incorrect or that channel doesn't exist on the guild you're mentioning it

[quartz kindle]

if youre on the phone, discord's phone apps have issues displaying mentions correctly

[long crow]

Slash command pique my interest

🤔

[river panther]

hello sir, big fan

i tried to fix the errors

is this correct?

[umbral zealot]

Can you stop shitposting about that

Like, remember there's a lot of beginners here and they might thing you're actually serious about this crap.

[river panther]

it triggers these people

tim and not erw

[river panther]

oh eh, yes, ig

[umbral zealot]

Also the joke has definitely run its course now.

you can move on 😛

[earnest phoenix]

Yes i know, but my friend in on pc and same problem!

[river panther]

ANNOUNCEMENT
beginners please don't do that

[earnest phoenix]

the channel exists !

[umbral zealot]

are you 100% certain it does, and you have access to that channel?

Because, this channel exists: #299237603046064128

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sand seal]

Pls tell me error in this command

[umbral zealot]

The words execute and run are two different words.

that's probably the issue.

[river panther]

yes

do command.run

in the event handler

or wherever

[umbral zealot]

Well considering they have like 20 commands, it's whichever they want

as long as it actually is the same.

[long crow]

Can a nodejsprocess_child spawn python script? Curious

[earnest phoenix]

How to limit permissions in 1 command to 1 id and 1 perm in discord.js

[long crow]

By using if else check statement

[earnest phoenix]

ah thanks

got iy

*t

[earnest phoenix]

yes im sure

[quartz kindle]

sort of

the child_process module has 4 methods

spawn, fork, exec and execFile

fork can only run node processes

but spawn can run anything

exec can run anything and wait for a response

[long crow]

execFile have async and sync process right

[umbral zealot]

maybe log that channel ID then and see manually if you have the right one, because... well... it's definitely wrong ^_^

[quartz kindle]

yes

[stuck pike]

Is there any way to take Voice as input in discord.js?

Like taking commands from voice channel?

[dire gull]

how can I setup role on vote for my bot?

[stuck pike]

@dire gull #topgg-api

Ask there

[dire gull]

okie

I mean dsl did that too right @stuck pike

like for my server

[stuck pike]

Server voting or bot voting?

If it's sever voting then idk

If Bot one then go to#topgg-api

[dire gull]

bot voting

[slender thistle]

Not supported by default

[thick field]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/685788049962958858/827861659166834708/unknown.png

Help!!!

[slender thistle]

You'll have to utilize bot votes with webhooks

[umbral zealot]

So first you need to update discord.js

if you're using v11, that means a big overhaul of your code

but if you're on v12, just update npm i discord.js@latest and you should be fine

[thick field]

+1

[umbral zealot]

oh, I say this as if your screenshot didn't actually say you're on v11

See https://discordjs.guide/additional-info/changes-in-v12.html for details on what you need to change in your code when updating

[dire gull]

oh

[thick field]

help

[slender wagon]

uhmm how do i fetch all the guilds that my bot is in

[umbral zealot]

update. to. discord.js. v12

https://discordjs.guide/additional-info/changes-in-v12.html

[quartz kindle]

they already answered you... twice

[thick field]

Well Then V12 I Knew It Will Come A Day When It Is About Time!

[umbral zealot]

V12 has been out for an entire year

You had plenty of time to update. You procrastinated, now you pay the price. V11 will not be updated to fix this, it's too old. It's time to update, now.

[thick field]

😭

[slender wagon]

client.guilds.cache.forEach(guild => {
  console.log(`${guild.name} | ${guild.id}`);
})

How am i supposed to add async in this

[umbral zealot]

forEach doesn't work with async

but the cache should have all your guilds already

so what's the problem?

[vivid fulcrum]

forEach is slow anyways

[slender wagon]

i wanna add

await guild.members.fetch(guild.ownerID)

[vivid fulcrum]

idk why people prefer forEach over for, especially with the recent flexibility for got

[umbral zealot]

because for is newer and people like to read old code

[quartz kindle]

what recent flexibility?

async for?

[umbral zealot]

What specifically are you goign to do with the owner, maybe you don't need to await it?

[vivid fulcrum]

yeah

[vivid fulcrum]

for await is syntax sugar we never asked for but needed

[quartz kindle]

it feels awkward to me

there are not much use cases for it except async iterator

[slender wagon]

the owner of the server is currently offline and i have to fetch it, otherwise it turns out null

[lusty quest]

you could use Machinelearning for it, but if you have no idea in how to make model you probably have a hard time.

[vivid fulcrum]

you'll be having a hard time regardless

[quartz kindle]

you dont need to preemptively fetch all owners. just fetch them where you need them

[umbral zealot]

Thanks Tim I was writing exactly that 😄

[vivid fulcrum]

speech recognition is extremely hard to do by yourself, you're better off using an API (google cloud etc)

[quartz kindle]

xD

[slender wagon]

yeah but i had the other problem earlier when it couldn't export the data if i used async

[umbral zealot]

"export"?

[lusty quest]

but the ratelimits suck, this is why having your own model is better, but yea its a pain in the ass to do

[quartz kindle]

if you make something async, i has to be awaited

everywhere you use it

[slender wagon]

function manageguild (g_id){
  let guild = bot.guilds.cache.get(g_id)
  //const owner = await outsideguild.members.fetch(guild.ownerID)
  if(guild){
    let memberCount =  guild.memberCount
     let guildname = guild.name
    let iconurl = guild.iconURL()
    let owner = guild.owner
    console.log(guild.owner)
    let id = guild.id
    console.log(memberCount, guildname, iconurl, owner, id)
    return {memberCount,guildname,iconurl,owner,id}
  }
  return "You dont share mutual guild with the bot"
}```

[umbral zealot]

yeah so make the function async

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slender wagon]

i did

[umbral zealot]

uhhh but it's not async here

[slender wagon]

ik

const {userhit,manageguild,checkguild,modifyguild} = require("../bot/webapi_handler.js");

here is how i import it on the other file

when i add async it doesn't import it on the other file and it turns out undefined

#development message this is the webapi_handler.js file

[quartz kindle]

if you export the function then you need to call the function when you require it

[slender wagon]

oh

[quartz kindle]

a = require(...);
data = await a()

[slender wagon]

hmm

let me try

router.get('/:id',(req,res)=>{
  if (!req.session.user) return res.redirect("/authorize")
  id = req.params["id"]
  guildobj = manageguild(id)
  res.render("serverpage",{user:req.session.user,count:guildobj.memberCount, pageTitle:"Edit Guild" , name:guildobj.guildname , iconurl:guildobj.iconurl , owner:guildobj.owner, guildid:guildobj.id})
})
``` here is how i use it btw

[quartz kindle]

you cant await in the global scope tho, you have to call it inside an async function

[zenith terrace]

a = require(tim);
data = await a()

[quartz kindle]

async req res

await manageguild

[quartz kindle]

a

[lusty quest]

i think the way you get the Mutual guilds wont work as intented. you use the guilds the bot is in. it will be false if the Guild is not cached. if you want to get mutual guilds i guess you have to do it differently

[slender wagon]

@quartz kindle Tysm, so all i had to do is to await it from the both sides?

smh

[quartz kindle]

yes

once a single thing is async, everything before has to be async

[slender wagon]

yep it makes sense now

lol

i feel stupid

[lusty quest]

its the joy of learning stuff, you feel stupid 50% of the time

[slender wagon]

lmao ikr

[lusty quest]

also did you get what ive wrote earlyer?

[slender wagon]

i think that part is fine

but i still have to work on the way i fetch it

i think i gotta await that too

cuz it doesn't seem to log all the guilds

[lusty quest]

bcs it looks like you get all Guilds the bot is in and just send it to the frontend.

if it works then its fine, but then again i feel stupid that i did it in a way more complex way then

[slender wagon]

lol

[sacred juniper]

If i upgrade my pc's vram what will happen

With bios

[lusty quest]

function getMutualGuilds(userGuilds, BotGuilds) {
    const validGuilds = userGuilds.filter(
        (guild) => (guild.permissions & 0x20) === 0x20
    );
    const included = [];
    const excluded = validGuilds.filter((guild) => {
        const findGuild = BotGuilds.find((g) => g.id === guild.id);
        if (!findGuild) return guild;
        included.push(findGuild);
    });
    return { excluded, included };
}
``` i just get the Bot guilds from the Discord API and the User guilds from oAuth

[slender wagon]

function checkguild(member_id, guilds) {
  owner_guilds = [];
  bot_guilds = [];
  invitebot_guilds = [];
  guilds.forEach((item, i) => {
    if (item.owner == true) {
      owner_guilds.push({ name: item.name, id: item.id });
      if (bot.guilds.cache.get(item.id)) {
        bot_guilds.push({ name: item.name, id: item.id });
      }
      if (!bot.guilds.cache.get(item.id)) {
        invitebot_guilds.push({ name: item.name, id: item.id });
      }
    }
  });
  return { bot_guilds, invitebot_guilds };
}

[lusty quest]

vram is usually located on your GPU so you wont upgrade it unless you know what you do, but then again you probably wont ask this

[quartz kindle]

virtual ram or video ram

[slender wagon]

virtual ram is basically the gpu init?

[sacred juniper]

I heard , if your pc is support to upgrade vram you can do that from bios

[quartz kindle]

video ram is gpu

[sacred juniper]

For example

[slender wagon]

oh okay

[quartz kindle]

no

[lusty quest]

if you have an CPU with integrated GPU you can do it

[sacred juniper]

GT525M have totally 4GB
But it has 1gb vram

[lusty quest]

since it uses the RAM aviable to your CPU

but on a dedicated GPU not really

[umbral zealot]

Ugh I gotta figure out how to re-do my entire database right now so I can "match" existing songs for karaoke and then bundle them up together in results. I don't wanna do it. I hate database queries

[rocky hearth]

in firebase if I try to get a doc, which doesn't exist, will it be count a read??

[sacred juniper]

Ok thx guys

[lusty quest]

if you use Mysql you could link them to associate them to bundles by an unique key

[umbral zealot]

I'm not using mysql

mysql fucking sucks

nobody should use mysql

[lusty quest]

mysql is quite decent in some stuff tbh

[umbral zealot]

stuff that doesn't matter

[quartz kindle]

1gb vram is the true ram your gpu has
up to 4gb total means it will steal up to 3gb of normal ram if available

[lusty quest]

linking Tables matters

[umbral zealot]

anyways I'm using sqlite right now

[rose warren]

Anyone know what this issue could be? Suddenly started appearing overnight causing my shards to restart.

[umbral zealot]

Either way I probably need to do some relational stuff, my problem is just as much the DB as it is "figuring out if a thing is already in there and similar"

[umbral zealot]

update discord.js to the latest version

discord API broke something with their new channel type

[rose warren]

Ok thanks

Just saw that announcement now

[outer perch]

I'm kinda confused, how do I compare a string variable value with a string in batch?
something like
if variable=='string'

I did something like this but ain't working
if "%variable%"=="string"

[sacred juniper]

How can i go bios

[solemn quartz]

Guys how can i make a spam automod?

(in a private bot)

[opal plank]

simple, map users and use some fuzzy string match to check content if its simlar, same for hashes to see if they're posting shit in channels. ontop of that, check how often last message was sent

those 3 checks should make a decent base for you

[dry cosmos]

hey

can anyone help

i have a bot

i want to set his custom status as auto changing custom status

pls give me code

[vivid fulcrum]

pay me

[solemn quartz]

we cannot just give you code

it doesnt work like that

[opal plank]

no spoonfed, read #rules-and-info

[dry cosmos]

why

[opal plank]

cuz rules

if you dont like it, go somewhere else

[solemn quartz]

I mean, do some google searches, try doing it, try to understand it, and if you can't then come here @dry cosmos

[opal plank]

if you want HELP, we can help you

we wont spoonfeed you code though

[solemn quartz]

if you dont know how to start ask help for the idea like i just did with erwin

i didn't directly ask the code

[opal plank]

i could give more info, but you didnt provide a library or language

[spiral crag]

guys when someone sends a gif, i want my bot to get the link of the gif, but the link is like this h ttps://tenor.com/view/hello-there-private-from-penguins-of-madagascar-hi-wave-hey-there-gif-16043627, how do i get the .gif link of the gif

i am using discord.py

[vivid fulcrum]

use tenors API / scrape the image url from the website with something like puppeteer

[earnest phoenix]

@opal plank do i have t change my whole code if i use detritus?

[opal plank]

a lot of it is quite easy to port, most stuff should be the same

its adjustments that are required

[solemn quartz]

i use discord.js, but i think i can already search something on google with that

[opal plank]

what exactly you struggling with?

[opal plank]

all good, if you need more help let me know

[earnest phoenix]

else i will i bc have to change 250 functions

[opal plank]

what EXATCLY do you need to change tho?

[earnest phoenix]

me ?

[solemn quartz]

k ty

[opal plank]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

Do you know my Custom Command bot.And there i have functions like $giveroles, $createchannel ... .In this functions are based on discord.js

[opal plank]

like i said, legit almost everything has the same function with a different name in detritus

for example

giveroles

[earnest phoenix]

here an example

[opal plank]

for the channel

thats why im confused why you struggling, since its literally the same

[earnest phoenix]

does a array of role works like on djs

[opal plank]

should yeah, let me check

[earnest phoenix]

struggling,
bc i have to change 250 functions,which is much work

[opal plank]

nah, you have to loop requests

if you got an array, just put them and loop

[outer perch]

@opal plank or @lament rock do you know batch?

[earnest phoenix]

that is the problem.Discord.js only send one request on a array

[brave tendon]

What do I have to use to check that my bot has permission to send messages? I tried with client.guild.me.hasPermission() and with client.user.hasPermission() is there anything that works for the client itself?

[opal plank]

a bit

[opal plank]

use this

internally they do multiple requests too

[outer perch]

I get The syntax of the command is incorrect when executing the batch, but it still does everything as expected.
It's not a problem if it does what I want, but how do I make it say where is the problem instead of throwing that message alone?

[lament rock]

client.guild is not a property. You have to have access to a guild, whether it be from a Message object or getting a specific guild from cache

[opal plank]

from what im seeing in the docs you can only update one role at a time

[earnest phoenix]

Actually they don't

[opal plank]

u sure?

[earnest phoenix]

D.js does a single request by editing the member object

[brave tendon]

Oh okay 😄 thanks

[opal plank]

thats an option too then

[earnest phoenix]

tim told:

[opal plank]

its what voltex said

use edit() instead

[lament rock]

desktop client receiving multi role add when

[opal plank]

gonna spoonfeed you a bit

[vivid fulcrum]

the fact that discord allows multiple attachments per message but only android utilizes this feature

[lament rock]

iOS does as well

[vivid fulcrum]

oh? that must be recent then

[earnest phoenix]

Wait what, discord desktop/web can't send multiple attachments?

[vivid fulcrum]

every attachment is its own message

[earnest phoenix]

yeah it upload per one msg

[lament rock]

It's been a thing for a while for iOS. Practically a thing since it came out. Unless it's a TestFlight exclusive (iOS beta software)

[earnest phoenix]

Well not surprised, discord backend is really a clusterfuck

All different than each other

[opal plank]

@earnest phoenix this should do the trick

[lament rock]

they delayed enforce v8 because official clients couldn't update in time

Of course Discord is a cluster fuck

[earnest phoenix]

okay thx.
Is there custom caching?

[opal plank]

yeah, its in the commandClient options

[earnest phoenix]

I literally added JS syntax highlighting for discord mobile and it was an absolute pain, man

Imagine fixing all that mess

[lament rock]

isn't the android client react native as well

[opal plank]

[earnest phoenix]

I have no idea, it runs on Java and Kotlin so

lol i need every without presences

[lament rock]

Gross

[opal plank]

do you tho?

emojis caches

messages cached

presences cached

cached is not the same as intents btw

it just means they wont be saved

but you still recieve them

[earnest phoenix]

yes there is a function $isemoji[] or $findemoji ...

[opal plank]

fair enough

[lament rock]

You don't need cache to determine if something is an emoji

[earnest phoenix]

that is for custom command

[dapper rover]

Sa

[lament rock]

The only thing you stand to gain from caching emojis is getting what guild it's from and who created it

[earnest phoenix]

I need everything,Else i would spam the discord api

You also need the manage emojis permission to know who created it

[marble juniper]

yeah

[marble juniper]

true

[lament rock]

petition: replace all nullable instances of User with data of System

[earnest phoenix]

seems to work

What is that, a parser?

[earnest phoenix]

yeah like dbd.js aka BDFD

Seems like bdfd style parser

Called it

You're using BDFD or DBD? Or you made that parser yourself?

Don't tell me you're using those bot makers

[earnest phoenix]

nope selfmade

based on dbd.js

put hardcore edited functions are selfmade to bc of cooldowns

So you took the parser from dbd.js and edited it?

[earnest phoenix]

nah i just saw how the made their if loop

[marble juniper]

bruh

[earnest phoenix]

Stinky

[earnest phoenix]

lol.There is a type of credits on the page

and my parser is quite broken :C

[lament rock]

hot take: coding is just chaining conditionals

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix since you are the expert here. Would a normal parser work. That executes from top to bottom?

That's what most parsers do

Most of them start from the first character to last and create tokens for each char, well

Lexer -> tokens -> parser -> evaluate -> output

[earnest phoenix]

ah okay.Is there any guide or docs ?

[marble juniper]

coding is just writing computer instructions in a human readable language to be later translated to computer readable instructions to be then executed

[earnest phoenix]

Well depends on what programming language you want to use really, well you can look at the engine I sometimes contribute to, which is the v8 engine @earnest phoenix

[lament rock]

Maybe there is a tutorial to create a simple parser, but that's mostly up to your own logical thinking. interpreting can be done many ways with micro optimizations that can be made along the way such as JS' JIT compiler

[earnest phoenix]

Just like a normal message

[marble juniper]

in js you would use
"```text```"
or
\\\\\\text\\\\\

kekw

[earnest phoenix]

.send('\`\`\`js\ntext\n\`\`\`')
``` for example

[fair axle]

Thanks

[earnest phoenix]

"Holy JIT compiler"

[lament rock]

True emoji

[marble juniper]

lol

[pale vessel]

oof

[marble juniper]

big oof ik

whatever

[earnest phoenix]

I just want a better parser for my bot. The parser is only need so User cannot evaluate own things like while(true){}

[marble juniper]

check if it includes while lol

oh yeah forgot about the tons of edge cases

[earnest phoenix]

Well you gotta detect those by simple tokens that was given by the lexer if you ever make one, our v8 engine does this by detecting those hot spots and passes it to the crankshaft, or well TurboFan

You can even use regex to detect those but I wouldn't recommend that

[lament rock]

That's where tokenization comes into play. You can build a tree of recognized key words and construct a string to evaluate later

[marble juniper]

regex is pain

I saw a regex in an emoji parser package

the regex was longer than 10 lines

[earnest phoenix]

the parser evaluates nothing it just pass params

[lament rock]

twemoji is a long regex

[earnest phoenix]

The best thing to do in this case to build a simple abstract tree by lexers and tokens in your parser and then evaluate

[marble juniper]

you could just make a timeout and check if the code runs too long

[lament rock]

gross

async operations might make that problematic

[earnest phoenix]

can i make sat without js functions

[marble juniper]

aeon has it

[earnest phoenix]

Lemme build an instruction tree for you

Input -> lexer -> tokens -> parser -> AST -> detect for/while loops -> check the iteration count -> stop

[lament rock]

That's for sandboxed arbitrary code execution. Not parsed input

[earnest phoenix]

yea i faced this problem. Then i changed to method parsing params

You can even use LLVM for this

[earnest phoenix]

but there is much weird things in js like import require ....

This would not be user-friendly since only a dev knows what async is :C,since most of Discord request with returned valuse is async or with promise

[lament rock]

Node's flavor of JS doesn't support import. At least, not unless you have es6 mode turned on

[earnest phoenix]

Import and export are only supported in .mjs files

[lament rock]

Is arbitrary code supposed to be user friendly? Once you understand the concept of logic, you're pretty much a developer

[earnest phoenix]

That is for a bot "so bot users "and not for a dev

[lament rock]

I'm aware. However, you are essentially creating your own interpreted language which just happens to be high level

not unlike JS

[frigid mountain]

How do I make a code that checks how many times a command has been used to a user?

[earnest phoenix]

Save them in a database and increment it upon usage

[marble juniper]

or text files

[earnest phoenix]

[marble juniper]

or jayson dbs

[frigid mountain]

Cause I want to check how many times my warn command has been used by a user

[lament rock]

file based data storage

[earnest phoenix]

Read what I said

[marble juniper]

isn't all data storage file based

since you have at least 1 file to keep it all

[lament rock]

No. There are in memory relational databases, databases like Redis, etc

[marble juniper]

redis reminds me of reddit for some reason

[lament rock]

MySQL also holds a lot of data in memory before writing to chunked files

[marble juniper]

imagine if reddit used redis

lol

[earnest phoenix]

lol

Databases which are rewritten in buffer forms like files are dangerous, they could easily be corrupted unless they're using atomic operations

[earnest phoenix]

use enmap lowdb scriptdb enmap if you have know idea with database

[lament rock]

solutions like those aren't easily scalable

[earnest phoenix]

Actual databases that store the documents in a cloud based storage are always recommend

[frigid mountain]

Yea

[earnest phoenix]

Such as mongodb

[lament rock]

Voltrex no

[earnest phoenix]

Or postgres

[lament rock]

pls

time to write mangoDB

🥭

[earnest phoenix]

🥭 DB

[earnest phoenix]

yea mongodb 🥭

[lament rock]

I wanted to write my own in memory K, V db similar to redis, but also supporting native filtering, but quickly gave up on it

[earnest phoenix]

Creating a good database is a pain in the ass

true

[lament rock]

I still have to logically understand btrees

[earnest phoenix]

Oh my god, not those

:notlikethis:

[lament rock]

[marble juniper]

what if thier bot is just a few hundred servers

lol

[marble juniper]

I use mongodb

lol

[lament rock]

What if they plan to expand beyond "just a few hundred"

[marble juniper]

What if they

don't

[earnest phoenix]

ik somebody who stores 70000 in mdb for his bot

[lament rock]

You can't assume that. You should just give them an objectively better solution to their alternatives

[earnest phoenix]

I just store about 2k documents

[lament rock]

besides, knowing SQL is essential in professional environments

[earnest phoenix]

did you know that mongodb is faster then sql?

[lament rock]

For filtering operations, yes. Relational databases have their own uses, though and are generally more powerful with SQL statements as it's essentially arbitrary code execution

[marble juniper]

lol

[earnest phoenix]

lol

[woeful pike]

this is a meaningless graph, SQL is not a database

[lament rock]

Also keep in mind that databases can buffer inserts because I/O ops suck. Some DBs also shard stored data into chunks

[woeful pike]

insert speed is also not an end all performance metric

[earnest phoenix]

yes mongodb has sharding but it is complicated

[lament rock]

What point are you trying to make

[marble juniper]

what if they are just regular people who are not trying to make a business out of thier bot

[lament rock]

If it's not for their bot, then it's for their future

[marble juniper]

do they really need something like a dedicated server and then maria db and docker

lol

[lament rock]

I never suggested docker

[marble juniper]

just as an example

lol

[earnest phoenix]

Just use postgres

4head

[vivid fulcrum]

this

[lament rock]

That would have been my go to suggestion anyways

[marble juniper]

Lol ditch ur json db and go to enterprise level databases for your 100 server bot lol

[lament rock]

https://amanda.moe/to/stats

Used MariaDB the whole time

[sudden geyser]

just use whatever

[lament rock]

The difference is that I actually listened to my senior dev and having a database remote to the clusters has paid off so that I didn't have to migrate the data
