I wonder if this good enough for / command help, some of the commands have subcommands, and I don't want to clusterfk help command with it, waifupic for example have 25 subcommands

small tangle Jul 20, 2021, 8:24 AM

#

should be fine imo, slash commands are pretty selfexplanatory since you can add information to each parameter

cinder patio Jul 20, 2021, 8:26 AM

#

you don't need a help command for slash commands

long crow Jul 20, 2021, 8:27 AM

#

Well, think of they add it, and slash won't appear immediately, so it kinda backup before they kick it 6min later

#

at least for me

#

I've seen some fellow add bot and didn't give permission for sending message though, type in help command then kick bot. That peeps kinda exist KEKW

small tangle Jul 20, 2021, 8:49 AM

#

there is no help for these people

stoic cypress Jul 20, 2021, 8:49 AM

#

quite literally

#

cuz the help command doesn't send

#

KEKW

oh LULW that wasnt intended

regal creek Jul 20, 2021, 11:16 AM

#

Anyone here knows python? If so do you know if i do a while True: thing or loop or whatever you want to say. Does it execute multiple at the same time or does it wait until the first has gone by

#

this was a bad explanation let me know if you need more in depth lol

quartz kindle Jul 20, 2021, 11:17 AM

#

it waits until the first goes by

pale vessel Jul 20, 2021, 11:17 AM

#

Aren't loops blocking

regal creek Jul 20, 2021, 11:18 AM

#

quartz kindle it waits until the first goes by

so i can do a time.sleep() inside it to make a "cooldown" type

pale vessel Jul 20, 2021, 11:18 AM

#

Is there even such thing as a non-blocking loop

quartz kindle Jul 20, 2021, 11:19 AM

#

you can sleep a loop yes

regal creek Jul 20, 2021, 11:19 AM

#

alright

#

thanks

quartz kindle Jul 20, 2021, 11:19 AM

#

pale vessel Is there even such thing as a non-blocking loop

async loops would be just that no?

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 11:23 AM

#

Yeah

earnest phoenix Jul 20, 2021, 11:56 AM

#

There has to be something yielding control to the event loop though

waxen bough Jul 20, 2021, 12:11 PM

#

can i still use / as prefix even though it's reserved for slash commands?

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 12:11 PM

#

Gonna be tough but it's possible

pale vessel Jul 20, 2021, 12:11 PM

#

I think users would need to add a space before commands

#

/cmd or something

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

Nah

pale vessel Jul 20, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

Or not

#

IDRK

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

It's possible, but make sure command names don't overlap

pale vessel Jul 20, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

Just don't

#

It's annoying to use

#

@ / # are bad prefixes

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

^

waxen bough Jul 20, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

i my implementation it's possible to add spaces because I use trim()

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

Use a dot at best

pale vessel Jul 20, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

Use . 😎 👍

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

Or something that's easy to use both on phones and PCs

waxen bough Jul 20, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

/ / / will work

pale vessel Jul 20, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

I wouldn't recommend that

waxen bough Jul 20, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

why

earnest phoenix Jul 20, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

waxen bough i my implementation it's possible to add spaces because I use trim()

The space would be removed by Discord

pale vessel Jul 20, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

It overlaps with slash commands

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

Good luck listening to users' complaints about rough inaccessibility

waxen bough Jul 20, 2021, 12:14 PM

#

i gave them option to change prefix they will be fine

pale vessel Jul 20, 2021, 12:14 PM

#

That's fine I guess but most users CBA changing prefixes especially when the default one is trash

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 12:14 PM

#

I hope you do realize that users will still complain

#

Exactly what flaze says

pale vessel Jul 20, 2021, 12:14 PM

#

Just use . like me

#

Ez clap

waxen bough Jul 20, 2021, 12:15 PM

#

ohh

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 12:15 PM

#

A dot is just universal at this point

pale vessel Jul 20, 2021, 12:15 PM

#

Simple and you could change it

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 12:15 PM

#

Plus it doesn't force you to fuck around with the prefix to get a command to work

quartz kindle Jul 20, 2021, 12:18 PM

#

yeah i use dot as well

lyric mountain Jul 20, 2021, 12:19 PM

#

I use my bot's initial + !

#

most users change it to !! tho

pale vessel Jul 20, 2021, 12:19 PM

#

s!

errant flax Jul 20, 2021, 12:31 PM

#

imagine having a # as a prefix ytho

errant flax Jul 20, 2021, 1:15 PM

#

is having the mention as a prefix a good thing hmm

cinder patio Jul 20, 2021, 1:16 PM

#

if the only prefix is the mention then no

#

otherwise why not

lyric mountain Jul 20, 2021, 1:17 PM

#

although it does add an extra step for command processing

errant flax Jul 20, 2021, 1:17 PM

#

no like u have this one prefix as customizable and the other prefix is the mention which is permanently there bonk

lyric mountain Jul 20, 2021, 1:17 PM

#

for example command !!hug <mention>

#

you'd need to filter out own bot mention

errant flax Jul 20, 2021, 1:18 PM

#

i have a method for that pd_pepethumbsup

#

im just pretending the first part(mention prefix) doesn't exist and check if theres another mention for the bot

after this, how to detect if the song is finished and play another song?

cinder patio Jul 20, 2021, 1:22 PM

#

if you know the length of the chosen song you can use setTimeout

umbral lake Jul 20, 2021, 1:22 PM

#

cinder patio if you know the length of the chosen song you can use `setTimeout`

yes but how to define the ms for all audios? xD

cinder patio Jul 20, 2021, 1:23 PM

#

Instead of having only links in the array have an object with a link and the length

umbral lake Jul 20, 2021, 1:23 PM

#

or I can do a .json

#

bruh

errant flax Jul 20, 2021, 1:23 PM

#

cinder patio Jul 20, 2021, 1:23 PM

each song has a different length most likely

errant flax Jul 20, 2021, 1:24 PM

cinder patio Jul 20, 2021, 1:54 PM

well first off you have to have an HTTP server running from the same process your bot's in. Then you'll have to create an endpoint which returns the guild count, and then in the client make a HTTP request to that endpoint and inject that into the HTML

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 3:59 PM

@stoic cypress ctx.channel.permissions_for(ctx.guild.me) would return the channel permissions

lament rock Jul 20, 2021, 3:59 PM

#

the point of async code is waiting for a task to finish and then continuing. You do not wait for that async function to complete, therefor, the code in the scope of the top level fn is running synchronously and goes as fast as possible

lament rock Jul 20, 2021, 4:00 PM

#

slender thistle <@304333708599754753> ctx.channel.permissions_for(ctx.guild.me) would return the...

not perms for guild

#

perms for a guild channel is what they need

#

manage messages doesn't appear in a guild permissions collection

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 4:00 PM

#

Then yeah, ctx.guild.me.permissions_in or ctx.channel.permissions_for

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 4:01 PM

#

lament rock manage messages doesn't appear in a guild permissions collection

pliant copper Jul 20, 2021, 4:01 PM

lament rock return the bool value in the callback

Thanks

lament rock Jul 20, 2021, 4:02 PM

#

manage messages on roles is a blanket permission value which only overrides if a channel's value isn't set. channel overrides take precedence over all role permissions

stoic cypress Jul 20, 2021, 4:03 PM

#

Testing right now, might not have the gist yet.

#

looking @ docs

lyric mountain Jul 20, 2021, 4:04 PM

#

user perms > channel perms > role perms > everyone perms

lament rock Jul 20, 2021, 4:04 PM

#

Trying to test manage messages in the scope of just a guild and not a channel doesn't make sense

#

Derp_Papi

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 4:04 PM

#

It does if you don't care about channel overwrites

#

Otherwise yeah, rely on the channel permission instead

lament rock Jul 20, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

Then your value would be incorrect if channel overrides are present which conflict with the role permissions

stoic cypress Jul 20, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

I got to here, but i'm not sure how to debunk this.

#

These are the channel permissions for the bot.

lyric mountain Jul 20, 2021, 4:06 PM

#

debunk

stoic cypress Jul 20, 2021, 4:06 PM

#

you know what i mean

#

as in to get a thing from it that says 'yes i have this permission' or 'no i don't'

lyric mountain Jul 20, 2021, 4:07 PM

#

just check if the flag is enabled

stoic cypress Jul 20, 2021, 4:07 PM

#

?

lyric mountain Jul 20, 2021, 4:07 PM

#

or permissions_in

lament rock Jul 20, 2021, 4:07 PM

#

There is a manage message property on that permissions collection you can access which is a boolean for if your client can manage messages in that channel

#

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=permissions#discord.Permissions

stoic cypress Jul 20, 2021, 4:09 PM

#

yea ive confused myself now

#

I have it in member form, i think im tryna go off of that

#

i need this with the bot identified yes?

#

but with manage_messages

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 4:10 PM

#

What's member set to?

stoic cypress Jul 20, 2021, 4:11 PM

#

this is a different command

#

but member would be author in this command

#

or a mentioned user

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 4:11 PM

#

And you want to get the bot's perms in current channel, right?

stoic cypress Jul 20, 2021, 4:11 PM

#

that is correct.

#

it might be easier to explain what i'm actually trying to do.

#

idk

slender thistle Jul 20, 2021, 4:12 PM

#

ctx.guild.me.permissions_in(ctx.channel).manage_messages

#

permissions_in on Member instance here returns a Permissions object, where you then can get the manage_messages flag

#

Guild.me returns Member version of your bot in that guild

stoic cypress Jul 20, 2021, 4:13 PM

#

yeah i understand, i'll look more into properly understanding it once ive got it sorted

Well ufw is just an interface using iptables

#

And tbh even if you can bypass the Windows firewall easily it is actually really consumer friendly

#

The package handling is working well even for rules you have set manually still blocking too much requests, syn floods, dos attacks etc.

But I prefer iptables, too

lyric mountain Jul 20, 2021, 9:25 PM

is there a way to hide it?

lyric mountain Jul 20, 2021, 9:26 PM

Which will make the attachment "move" to the assigned spot

tulip ledge Jul 20, 2021, 9:27 PM

what about

sending the attachment to a temporary channel and then taking the URL from there?

Well yes but actually no

#

With commits you don't need to go back step by step

#

You can grab any state of a file from any time before now

#

Basically revert any change independently of steps

You need to click on the "Discord" button on the bot's page of the bot you need support for, not the "Join Discord" button at the top of our website. If there isn't a button that says Support Server, the server invite is invalid or you were banned from the bot's support server, then we can't help you. Sorry :(

Why timeLeft is undefined

earnest phoenix Jul 21, 2021, 6:53 AM

#

If it’s not defined that’s probably why

#

Somewhere along the lines you’re making it undefined

flat copper Jul 21, 2021, 6:54 AM

#

But I defined it

wanton flicker Jul 21, 2021, 6:58 AM

#

hm... does anyone know to do cooldowns?

#

i tried using Bucket but it seems the command is still executed...

earnest phoenix Jul 21, 2021, 6:59 AM

#

Well you could check against a time stamp against the current timestamp and not execute the rest of the code if the time has not passed

wanton flicker Jul 21, 2021, 6:59 AM

#

earnest phoenix Well you could check against a time stamp against the current timestamp and not ...

but is there a single command that can do this?

earnest phoenix Jul 21, 2021, 7:00 AM

#

Wdym

wanton flicker Jul 21, 2021, 7:00 AM

#

like uh

earnest phoenix Jul 21, 2021, 7:00 AM

#

You’d probably have to do it in every command unless you make a handler of sorts

wanton flicker Jul 21, 2021, 7:00 AM

#

@cooldown(1, 10, BucketType.user) doesnt not cancel the command being called

earnest phoenix Jul 21, 2021, 7:00 AM

Is this a python thing

wanton flicker Jul 21, 2021, 7:00 AM

??

its coded in python...

Then I’m afraid I can’t really help with the code itself

ill just do what i did for my previous bot which is what u suggested

let m = await message.Reply(embed).then(msg => {

#

Its sending the message but not editing it

earnest phoenix Jul 21, 2021, 7:03 AM

#

But reply does

#

I don’t see how it sends anything or has the js Lang changed that much that methods aren’t case sensitive

flat copper Jul 21, 2021, 7:04 AM

#

#

But its not editing

earnest phoenix Jul 21, 2021, 7:05 AM

#

Well then msg is undefined

#

So it’s probably not a message object

wanton flicker Jul 21, 2021, 7:05 AM

#

isnt msg supposed to be m or smth

#

idk about javascript so :D

earnest phoenix Jul 21, 2021, 7:05 AM

#

It doesn’t matter what you call it

#

It’s just a name

wanton flicker Jul 21, 2021, 7:05 AM

#

earnest phoenix It’s just a name

no i doint think he initialized msg in the code...

#

maybe he meant m idk 🤷‍♂️

earnest phoenix Jul 21, 2021, 7:06 AM

#

He very clearly did

wanton flicker Jul 21, 2021, 7:06 AM

#

oh then idk anything about js

#

:(

earnest phoenix Jul 21, 2021, 7:06 AM

#

But I’m raising a question as to why they are awaiting and then .then inside a variable

#

Just await and then use the variable to edit

#

.then with await just returns a promise iirc

flat copper Jul 21, 2021, 7:07 AM

#

I console the msg and its consoling the msg

#

Then why not editing

earnest phoenix Jul 21, 2021, 7:08 AM

earnest phoenix Jul 21, 2021, 7:09 AM

#

Yes but you are setting something in a variable but then using .then

#

Makes no sense to me

#

Either set it in a variable and use the variable or just use .then but anyway I don’t know what the issue is to me that code looks like it shouldn’t work to begin with

but apparently the commandoncooldown isnt being sent :

slender thistle Jul 21, 2021, 7:23 AM

The cooldown only applies to usage of the command

wanton flicker Jul 21, 2021, 7:23 AM

#

hmm so what should be corrected

slender thistle Jul 21, 2021, 7:23 AM

#

It's raised when someone uses a command that's on cooldown

wanton flicker Jul 21, 2021, 7:24 AM

#

slender thistle It's raised when someone uses a command that's on cooldown

yes but nothing is sent

slender thistle Jul 21, 2021, 7:24 AM

Did you add it as an event to your bot object

wanton flicker Jul 21, 2021, 7:24 AM

ok so i have a website, the website uses discord's oauth2 to login and store data by the user's id, i want my website to remember if users have previously logged in or not so i store the user's object data (their discord account user object data) in the local storage. But the thing with local storage is that users can also store/clear/modify the data in it, so the user can just store a different user's object data in local storage and my website wouldn't notice that the user wasn't the same user in local storage,

basically my question is how do i prevent the user from pretending to be other users

earnest phoenix Jul 21, 2021, 9:53 AM

#

@amber thistle
two options:

encrypt the data before storing it
now unless someone gets hold of someone's computer they can't pretend to be them
store their ip (discord uses this)
if the user logs in from somewhere else they have to verify through email

Why not store stuff in your backend

earnest phoenix Jul 21, 2021, 10:03 AM

#

slender thistle Why not store stuff in your backend

that's what the second option does

slender thistle Jul 21, 2021, 10:04 AM

#

You can just store the user object tied to a session

#

That user object would also store a switch that indicates whether a user has logged in previously

#

User's cookies/local storage could be a good place to store the actual session ID

I'm trying to revert this commit:
https://github.com/SideProjectGuys/invite-manager-bot/commit/9ea3c89206ad7835bc8c9e9561df3dffc96f0039

But simply re-adding it into the code throws TypeScript errors

  Type '(content: MessageContent, file?: MessageFile) => Promise<Message<TextableChannel>>' is not assignable to type '(content: MessageContent, file?: MessageFile | MessageFile[]) => Promise<Message<TextChannel>>'.
    Type 'Promise<Message<TextableChannel>>' is not assignable to type 'Promise<Message<TextChannel>>'.
      Type 'Message<TextableChannel>' is not assignable to type 'Message<TextChannel>'.
        Type 'TextableChannel' is not assignable to type 'TextChannel'.
          Type 'Textable & PrivateChannel' is missing the following properties from type 'TextChannel': lastPinTimestamp, rateLimitPerUser, topic, createInvite, and 19 more.

9  public createMessage(content: MessageContent, file?: MessageFile): Promise<Message> {
          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I'm trying to figure out what's going on since I have no clue about TypeScript

#

Do I have to read that from the bottom?

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:42 PM

#

looks like FakeChannel extends TextChannel

#

and createMessage is having a type mismatch in both

#

that's what I understood

it would be different if each web browser had their own unique id tho

#

amber thistle im just starting out in web developing so im confused on how do u know if the us...

like if they cleared the only thing ur backend can identify if they have logged in or not, ur backend cant tell if they have logged in or not

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:51 PM

#

you can get the ip

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:51 PM

#

i mean yea but i dont wanna

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:52 PM

or some other unique identifiable stuff

Ok it seems that I can build it.

"New": public createMessage(content: MessageContent, file?: MessageFile): Promise<Message<TextChannel>> {

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:52 PM

#

if you don't want to store the ip, just make a hash out of it and store that

nimble kiln Jul 21, 2021, 12:52 PM

#

I just slapped some <TextChannel> after the Message ¯_(ツ)_/¯

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:52 PM

#

the problem isnt about storing the ip or not, its more about the user's trust

#

like if u know a small, website that grabs ur ip, u would not wanna use that

nimble kiln Jul 21, 2021, 12:53 PM

#

I would use that

#

Every website grabs IPs

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:53 PM

#

errr...pretty sure almost all sites get the ip

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:53 PM

#

u would?

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:53 PM

#

also, the ip is public anyway

nimble kiln Jul 21, 2021, 12:53 PM

#

If I dont trust a website with my IP I use a VPN

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:53 PM

#

but arent those websites like famous

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:54 PM

#

not necessarily

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:54 PM

#

well i wouldnt use a unfamous website that grabs my ip

#

so i was looking for something else

#

then i stumbled upon local storage

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:54 PM

#

local storage is client-side

nimble kiln Jul 21, 2021, 12:54 PM

#

If a user clears their browser data they should not be logged in at the next visit

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:54 PM

#

yes @lyric mountain

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:55 PM

#

and local storage can be edited

nimble kiln Jul 21, 2021, 12:55 PM

#

That's actually something I expect to happen with every site

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:55 PM

#

lyric mountain and local storage can be edited

yes and thats why i asked that question

#

ok so i have a website, the website uses discord's oauth2 to login and store data by the user's id, i want my website to remember if users have previously logged in or not so i store the user's object data (their discord account user object data) in the local storage. But the thing with local storage is that users can also store/clear/modify the data in it, so the user can just store a different user's object data in local storage and my website wouldn't notice that the user wasn't the same user in local storage,

basically my question is how do i prevent the user from pretending to be other users

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:55 PM

#

use the user id

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:55 PM

#

yes but

nimble kiln Jul 21, 2021, 12:55 PM

#

ah I see, you want to prevent the user modifying the local storage

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:56 PM

#

yes

nimble kiln Jul 21, 2021, 12:56 PM

#

well you want to prevent logging in as another user, by modifying storage

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:56 PM

#

i was thinking of doing a encryption with their id

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:56 PM

#

in my site, I generate a unique hash for each user that login to it

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 12:56 PM

#

you need to keep a database and generate access tokens

#

user logs in, generate token, store token in database and then give it to the user either in cookies or in localstorage

#

thats essentially what discord does

restive furnace Jul 21, 2021, 12:57 PM

#

too many cookies

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:57 PM

#

but how would u know if the user logged in or not if the only thing that identifies their browser is cleared?

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 12:57 PM

#

they have to login again

nimble kiln Jul 21, 2021, 12:57 PM

#

Use PHP and PHP-Sessions :]

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:57 PM

#

when the use login just retrieve his id's token and return to them

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:57 PM

#

is there a event for when local storage gets cleaed

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:57 PM

#

no

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:57 PM

#

well i would wanna remove the token in the db when they clear local storage

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:58 PM

#

no no no

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:58 PM

#

this is what im also confused at

#

oh?

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:58 PM

#

tokens must be permanent

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 12:58 PM

#

not necessarily

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:58 PM

#

eh

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 12:58 PM

#

they can have an expiration date

#

and every relogin refreshes it

#

so they automatically expire if you dont use them for like 30 days

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:59 PM

#

well i don wanna make a timeout for each user so im planning on making it permanant

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 12:59 PM

#

you can also make a unique token per session

#

so each browser has a unique session

#

thats what things like gmail and yahoo does

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:59 PM

#

like a id?

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 12:59 PM

#

you can list active sessions, and deauthorize specific sessions

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 12:59 PM

#

what I do is:

user login -> does token exist? -> yes -> return token to client
                    |                       /\     
                    L no -> generate new token

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 12:59 PM

#

hm this is more confusing than i thought it would be

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:00 PM

#

well, that because I use the token for more stuff other than the site

#

so I need to be able to deactivate a token to prevent access/usage

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

all of these session methods work on the basis that the user's device is not gonna be stolen and/or tampered with, because there is virtually no way to prevent a stolen token and/or cookie from impersonating someone, so most companies dont bother

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

ok so im gonna explain what i understand so far
user goes onto my site -> retrieve token from local storage:

token exists in local storage -> user can go onto my site

token does not exist -> tells user to login -> store token -> user can go onto my site

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

that's what I do

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

amber thistle ok so im gonna explain what i understand so far `user goes onto my site` -> `re...

its a bit more

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

except the token shouldn't be stored in the local storage for too long

#

I use session storage instead

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

but would that basically mean they have to relogin

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

token exists -> use token to connect -> check in database if token is valid -> accept session

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

that way user gets logged out when he closes the browser

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

everytime they close the tab

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

not the tab, the browser

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

oh

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

session storage persist as long as there's at least one tab open

#

like google login

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

well the user still can modifiy

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

well, yes

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

most companies dont use session storage tho

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

but hashes/tokens are unguessable

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

quartz kindle 1. token exists -> use token to connect -> check in database if token is valid -...

but lets say they logged in, token gets stored, the user is a tech savy and he clears the token in the local storage, thus resulting having to relogin, but i would wanna delete that token that he cleared in the database

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:05 PM

#

the moment he refreshes the page you'd check if the token exists

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:05 PM

#

amber thistle but lets say they logged in, token gets stored, the user is a tech savy and he c...

you dont

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:05 PM

#

yes but how would i know which token was the user's previous token in the db

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:05 PM

#

id

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:05 PM

#

if the token is permanent, it will stay in the database until the user removes it

#

i have a yahoo account for example, if i go into my account security sessions, i can see a list of active sessions, their browser/device info, and the time they were last used. some of those are from browsers that are long gone, last used 6+ months ago

#

i can then remove them from there

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:07 PM

#

quartz kindle if the token is permanent, it will stay in the database until the user removes i...

im sure im misunderstanding something here because the user doesnt have access to my database

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:07 PM

#

you give them access to a list of active sessions

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:07 PM

#

wait im gonna google what exactly is a session lol

#

ah i see

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:08 PM

#

im just explaining an example as seen in a real company, in this case yahoo

#

#

you have a page in your account settings that shows you all your sessions

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

im just trying to know if my user logged in or not

#

that thing is too fancy for me

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

then either make a single universal token

#

or temporary tokens per session

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

a universal token

#

hm

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

when you use sessions in php for example

#

they generate a session token and store it in cookies

solemn latch Jul 21, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

There's also companies that handles login account creation stuff for you.
If your looking for an unfancy quick way to do it.

that token expires once the session ends, and you have to login again

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:11 PM

#

solemn latch There's also companies that handles login account creation stuff for you. If you...

well im using discord oauth2

solemn latch Jul 21, 2021, 1:11 PM

#

Plenty of companies allow that

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:11 PM

#

so basically

#

user goes to website
user logs in
store user id in database and generate a token
give the token to the user, store in cookies or local storage

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:11 PM

#

hm

#

can user modify cookies

#

like in console or dev tools

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

when the user returns:

check if token exists, if it does try check if its valid
if it is, do nothing
if its not, login again

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

everything you can do with js you can do in devtools, so pretty much nothing client-side is safe

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

everything can be modified, you dont need to care about that

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

figures

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

but now you have a token, not a user id

#

so you cant simply put another user id there and login as them

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:14 PM

#

lmao the current method im using is storing the user id in local storage and thats basically it

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:14 PM

#

yeah

#

so do the exact same thing, but with a token instead of an id

#

or even a hash

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:14 PM

#

hm but i would like to clear the invalid tokens in my db

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:14 PM

#

a tokenized hash KEKW

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:15 PM

#

most hashes today are secure enough to prevent reversing

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:15 PM

#

amber thistle hm but i would like to clear the invalid tokens in my db

store id-token pairs

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:15 PM

#

oh yea and i need something to check my userinput

#

well theres a lot to worry about but ill just work on front end for now lol

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:16 PM

#

you can do this for example

#

user logs in, get their id, for example "232768273927385"

#

store the id in the database

#

hash the id with some constant, like a fixed number or string

#

and store the hash in localstorage

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:17 PM

#

so i unhash it when i need to use the id?

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:17 PM

#

you cant unhash something

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:17 PM

#

oh

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:17 PM

#

thats why hashes are used for passwords

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:18 PM

#

but how would u know if the id is correct?

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:18 PM

#

you hash the id in the database the same way you hashed it before, and check if the result is equal

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:18 PM

#

oh

#

wouldnt encrypting and decrypting be the same?

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:18 PM

#

you will need to store something extra for indexing tho

#

no

#

hashing is one way encryption

#

there is no turning back

#

thats why its secure

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:19 PM

#

oh so u wouldnt know the original text

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:19 PM

#

exactly

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:19 PM

#

oo

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:19 PM

#

thats how servers store passwords

#

for example user logs in with password 12345678

#

server hashes that

#

and checks if that hash exists in the database

#

so the database never has the actual password

#

even if the database is stolen, the thief cant see peoples passwords

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:20 PM

#

oo

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:20 PM

#

the same password hashed the same way will always result in the same hash

#

but the hash cannot be reversed to obtain the password

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:21 PM

#

i see

#

but do u know how does top.gg know wheter u logged in or not

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:22 PM

#

store login timestamp on the local storage

#

when you enter the site again, check if it has expired already

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:22 PM

#

do they even store something? they always ask me to login again, so i think they are not even storing anything other than the oauth2 access token that expires in a couple hours

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:22 PM

#

they do

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:22 PM

#

apparently they do

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:23 PM

#

they probably store 2 things

#

the user id and the login date

solemn latch Jul 21, 2021, 1:23 PM

#

I don't actually know, but you can go 7 days without logging in again

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:23 PM

#

but the thing is when i clear the local storage top.gg does not tell me to login again

solemn latch Jul 21, 2021, 1:23 PM

#

I think that's the max?

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:24 PM

#

solemn latch I think that's the max?

I guess so, that's the time oAuth2 token stays valid

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:24 PM

#

amber thistle but the thing is when i clear the local storage top.gg does not tell me to login...

and when i refresh the local storage gets stored again

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:24 PM

#

amber thistle but the thing is when i clear the local storage top.gg does not tell me to login...

because they have ur ip probably

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:24 PM

#

im looking at the stored stuff after logging in and see nothing relevant

#

just session ids in cookies

#

nothing in local storage, nothing in session storage

amber thistle Jul 21, 2021, 1:25 PM

#

web dev is confusing

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:25 PM

#

like, if top.gg has your ip you can use that to validate session

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:26 PM

#

they just use a session cookie

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:26 PM

#

anti-multivote

#

they gotta store the ip somewhere too

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:26 PM

#

dont you need to be logged in to vote?

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:26 PM

#

you do

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:26 PM

#

then you dont need ip, just do one vote per account

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:26 PM

#

you just can't vote more than twice from the same network

#

like, on the same bot

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:27 PM

#

if you change network you can vote again? in the same account?

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:27 PM

#

probably no

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:27 PM

#

then they dont need ip

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:27 PM

#

multi accounts

#

you cant vote with multiple accounts on the same bot using the same network

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:27 PM

#

do they have protection against that?

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:27 PM

#

yep

#

that's one of the stuff that used to pop a lot on support earlier this year

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:28 PM

#

ah

#

then yes, likely ip and/or user agent

Honestly, was super confused when it said I have 4 webcams, but my phone has 4 cameras.

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:32 PM

solemn latch Jul 21, 2021, 1:33 PM

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 1:34 PM

ah, that, I thought it was 4 back cameras

#

tbf I don't even know what a 4th back camera would be

#

ultra zoom?

quartz kindle Jul 21, 2021, 1:34 PM

#

2 normals for 3d filming

solemn latch Jul 21, 2021, 1:35 PM

Some have extra for secondary processing of the other cameras

you cant have keyless values

how should i fix it then?

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 2:17 PM

lyric mountain Jul 21, 2021, 2:35 PM

then you need to find out how value definition works on mongo

#

just like you did with $inc

#

there's probably a $set or something
