but... you dont understand discord.js
boreal iron
You already use the passed argument client in your execute() function
No need to import discord again, creating the var a second time
If you pass client as argument then use client.on(…)
command.execute(interaction)
You’re passing interaction as argument
Don’t u ever need the client in your command modules?
Also where do you even call your ready event JS file?
Am I blind
You’re already listening to the ready event in your index
Why would you create a second listener?
Your event has like 5 lines
Reading the file and including it as well as executing it is longer than what you got before
Would only make sense if you would move all event listeners to modules
Which is like over complicating things but well why not

Is what you need to use on all associated elements
I basically want the topbar to start at the end of the sidebar
boreal iron
Is it an absolute or fixed display already?
boreal iron
If so use the left property then
boreal iron
Only if the element being display as absolute or fixed one
Let it overlap the sidebar and margin the content in it
Same for the sidebar
Is easier and more flexible as well as better responsive design if the sidebar for example shouldn’t be shown up on mobile
tulip ledge
wait so what do I do
native walrus
Anyone knows how to move that topbar so the sidebar doesn't overlap it?
you need to think of it as legos
create an element that contains <navbar/> and <div><sidebar/><content/><div> that is flex column

native walrus
you need to structure your html so it looks like
<body>
<sidebar />
<main>
<navbar />
<whatever />
</main>
</body>
make body a flex element that contains a sidebar and the "main" content, and have the main content a column flex
html is just rectangles at the end of the day, you have to recognize how to stack them on top of each other
tulip ledge
Issue is I'm working with routers
boreal iron
you need to structure your html so it looks like
```html
<body>
<sidebar />
...
That’s actually not the best design either
First element of all is your wrapper
tulip ledge
Would that still work?
native walrus
wrapper for what? <body> is the main flex element that holds sidebar and main content
boreal iron
To keep the hierarchy in place always
native walrus
<main> itself can be a router outlet that changes depending on dynamic content
tulip ledge
ok
native walrus
use whatever wrappers you need on top of that
that's just the high level idea behind the html structure, not a copy pastable html example

tulip ledge
Only parent is the top div
native walrus
what did I write wrong?
native walrus
I mean the margin thing is a crutch
you want to have a proper layout instead of adding margins to things and using absolute positions
native walrus
send a codepen or something idk
tulip ledge
cuz adding w-full to the top doesn't fix it
native walrus
can't tell without devtools
tulip ledge
Can I send a codepen with react stuff?
native walrus
tulip ledge
cuz I'm using react and tailwindcss
boreal iron
You’re far away from doing a responsive design anyways
native walrus
you can do that, but adding a margin to overlapping elements in this case is kind of like seeing that a square peg doesn't fit in a circle hole and grabbing a hammer instead of learning where things are supposed to go
boreal iron
The margin has to be adjusted by the screen size easily done by using media queries
solemn latch
"Easily" more like annoyingly ^_^
boreal iron
Shh shh Mr. Woo
native walrus
html is about creating a layout where boxes flow into each other, position:absolute; margin-left: 25px is the nuclear option
tulip ledge
Also for some reason my sidebar isn't at 100vh when I scale down the screensize
boreal iron
Depends on you design things
tulip ledge
And margin makes it overflow on the x axis
boreal iron
If I want a static header and static footer responsive and on any browser you will have to use some sort of tricking
But nvm is free to do what he wants
Why suggesting somebody do use djs without proper knowledge if I can suggest him to create his own library

Also for some reason my sidebar isn't at 100vh when I scale down the screensize
issue to this was with the margin too for some reason

100% means 100% of the parent. If the parent doesn't stretch across the entire page the child won't either

optimal solution would be to try to find in the cache and if they don't exist fetch them

Yes but the parent of the parent stretches fully but the parent doesn't even though it has 100% width

boreal iron
I will never understand the motivation to spend time on something you wanna do or you’re interested in but actually being too lazy to do it accurately.
I mean the time you invested into it is gone anyways you won’t get it back in your life.
Instead of dealing with your own sloppy done work investing even more time to keep it alive somehow instead of completely overhauling it is even more wasted time.
Life time to mention it once more.
native walrus
That's such a strange argument, you gain a ton of experience doing things the wrong way as a beginner
being told "var is bad" doesn't really teach you anything, but using var for a loop counter and getting frustrated when it doesn't work after you log it from inside a closure is a lot more instructive
(still a relevant analogy even if you weren't talking about var)
boreal iron
I guess the critic has nothing to do with skill here, just the fact being too lazy to update deprecated stuff is weird.
The day will come you got actually not time to spend and your shit doesn’t work anymore.
Which could be prevented by doing it accurately in the first place or not being too lazy to maintain or update something.
native walrus
I can understand not wanting to constantly maintain your work tho
that's not really something you sign up for when you start working on a project
boreal iron
Well that’s usually not the case

the js ecosystem doesn't help that either
clone an unmaintained C repo from 1994 and it still compiles on the first try, clone a js repo from 2019 and you get 23 errors trying to run it lol
boreal iron
you’re generally right but in fact Discord is moving forward fast and they always cut the line behind forcing you to do things
native walrus
true, that's generally an L you have to take when you're dependent on a 3rd party api
quartz kindle
yes discord is screwing over a lot of people, so even if your bot is written in C99 it will still break several times
boreal iron
Businesses, apps, huge eco systems, even government environments etc. which are nowadays built for example on XP or PHP 4, generally spoken on old hardware or software etc could be updated since years tho but there’s actually no reason to if you’re not forced to
But discord is forcing users to
native walrus
I can understand it from their side, it just sucks for the user
boreal iron
And that’s what I mean if I say being lazy here if you got some motivation to spend time on something is just wasted time x2
native walrus
why upgrade your bot when you could use that time to complain about having to upgrade your bot on discord
boreal iron
IT, tech, software is enveloping so fast, you can’t be up to date all the time
But if you’re not working with discord, building something or at least trying to which can last a few years or decades, depending on its needs and purpose is worth the time to spend
Instead of being lazy
But arguing about that is also wasted life time like anything else, too

I love how people are still crying about slash commands in discord's github issues
boreal iron
Huh just exit your process, handle that exit to logout your client and close database connections or whatever, and create a new process launching your node app after a short timeout
boreal iron
I love how people are still crying about slash commands in discord's github issu...
Yeah but to be fair here, the fact discord isn’t moving forward really fast to bring all features they planned to it is something you can complain about
native walrus
probably, but slash commands are just a natural evolution of bots on any kind of centralized chat app. It's crazy how long discord let bots just read all messages
boreal iron
I have to agree and the fact the increase the usability for the common (dumb) discord user is a good thing as well
native walrus
the only thing that seems strange to me is discord trying to crack down on bot accounts when bots run rampant on user accounts
but that's like a super super hard problem to fix
boreal iron
I mean like idk I’m sure 90% or more of the bots out there actually don’t need more requirements than slash commands already offer, so yeah more complaints are just because people are again too lazy to update stuff or straight too dumb
native walrus
I'd probably be angry too if I hadn't killed my only bot a while back
boreal iron
but that's like a super super hard problem to fix
Hmm the balance between creating false positives and obvious cases is hard to find, which will always require an human to step in and look about it, which will most likely be an overkill of cases to handle
native walrus
I work on a fraud detection system for a living and sometimes I really wish it was as easy as some people on discord like to think it is
sterile brook

Welp, I don't have little hobbie bot, so for me it long process, and yes I will update it soon, I am already spending a lot of time creating new things till release, and for future updates also, so I haven't been fully honest when I said I am lazy, I like doing that staff very much
boreal iron
I work on a fraud detection system for a living and sometimes I really wish it w...
That’s like the major difference between coding and developing
Using something existing to form it a little bit to fit into your needs is something compared to actually creating something from scratch, totally need to investigate each point etc
native walrus
well in most cases you don't create things from scratch but yeah, unlike developing a discord bot the goal is not well defined for anti-abuse and the thing you're fighting basically changes every day
boreal iron
Welp, I don't have little hobbie bot, so for me it long process, and yes I will ...
Well then acting like you actually don’t care about good tips or calling yourself too lazy to do stuff might move yourself into a bad spotlight
Well yeah the comparison wasn’t perfect but you got what I mean I guess
native walrus
also it's difficult to measure how well you're doing since you can't rely on basically any metric
how does discord figure out whether or not some solution they implement for these phishing attacks is working as intended?
boreal iron
Well yeah creating something new always be successful or not how the user using it at the end decides
Or generally spoken how good it works of course supposed to do what it should do
boreal iron
how does discord figure out whether or not some solution they implement for thes...
I don’t think will ever do
They keep that stress away of them
They develop and provide the platform and moving forward to create more possibilities for users to control it
And the end the users need to find a way themselves to deal with it like developing addons or in this case bots
To do the job the platform creator should actually do
native walrus
ok but those bots have the exact same problem
you implement a solution for an unknown problem, but have no idea if the thing you're doing is working
for example you catch 100k phishing links a day. Is that 90% of all phishing links or 10%? You can't know because if you could identify all possible phishing links you would've solved the problem already
the next day the messages you delete drops to 10k. Did the the attacker give up after you added protection or have they started bypassing your checks? Very unpleasant problem to solve when you don't have the data you need to work with
boreal iron
That’s why I said discord doesn’t bother, they say they’re creating the possibilities and it’s up to your creativity dealing with the issue
And this keeps them out of all the trouble and possible false positives to deal with
native walrus
I highly doubt that's the case
letting malware and viruses run rampant on their platform has a serious impact
native walrus
I don't think that's something you would let the people doing the phishing know
boreal iron
Hmm might be the case yeah
sterile brook
And then phishers will evolve
native walrus
if I had to guess Discord just hadn't thought about these things until fairly recently
and it's taking a while for them to put something together because they're starting from 0
boreal iron
Probably yeah I’m actually not even aware how they steal your account other than fishing the login data
native walrus
hi 12 year old kid, run this exe for free nitro
boreal iron
But since people talked about stolen token or cookie shit I wonder why they don’t do something
native walrus
then the program decrypts your chrome password store for your discord token and other login credentials
boreal iron
If they not already doing something
native walrus
phishing is the hardest one of these to stop because it bypasses all 2fa and attacks the weakest part of security which is users
boreal iron
hi 12 year old kid, run this exe for free nitro
Yeah so generally malware, thought there are ways I’m not aware of
Don’t they force 2fa nowadays anyways
native walrus
if you have someone's discord token there's no 2fa
boreal iron
Yeah ik not speaking about that
But in order to fix the issue of fishing passwords
At least I was forced to use one
native walrus
how does 2fa fix that
boreal iron
In order to unlock my account
native walrus
oh for passwords
you can MITM 2fa code too though
if you can get a user to fall for a fake login screen, you can get them to fall for an email verification modal too
boreal iron
Fishing your password doesn’t matter if 2fa doesn’t allow you to login from a new device
native walrus
right, so I ask you to click on approve on the email you got on your email to proceed
boreal iron
No matter it’s been filtered by the IP or some sort of hardware ID if you use the app on a PC
(like TeamSpeak does)
_bad internet connection _
native walrus
and you do it because you think it's a genuine discord login page
boreal iron
Will probably spam my messages if my connection is back
native walrus
2fa is good for when there's a login attempt that doesn't involve you
but when you're the person trying to do the login and approving 2fa notifications it doesn't help that much
boreal iron
Damn my message appear under your name
Total chaos
Discord with short period of a disconnect on mobile fucks the app hard
Let me restart it
boreal iron
if you can get a user to fall for a fake login screen, you can get them to fall ...
Hmm that’s actually true
Unfortunately
We’re back to the question what would you do against it
And I dislike the idea of needing your fingerprint to access the net to provide your identity at any time
Spoken as metaphor
native walrus
you already give discord your fingerprint
boreal iron
Unfortunately yeah to be able to use it
native walrus
they check it on the signup page but I don't think they do for sending messages and such
boreal iron
I mean the metaphor wasn’t only about discord
Generally people argue if you completely remove the possibility to be anonymous in the net that would solve all the issues
native walrus
yeah the fight between privacy and security. Daily struggle
boreal iron
Which is bullshit
native walrus
I mean for this case in specific it wouldn't do anything because someone is pretending to be you
or performing actions on your behalf
it might solve some issues, but definitely not all
boreal iron
Correct which throws us back again
native walrus
I think this is the closest option to getting the benefits of proving your identity and remaining anonymous https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-cryptographic-attestation-of-personhood/
boreal iron
It might be unfair to compare that to terrorism but it will also ever happen no matter what u do and how much you think you can control people
At some point you have to live with it and try to be always one step in front of the attackers
Just like a cat and mouse game
native walrus
a very fun one
well for me it's fun but yeah also difficult
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gxI-6QmPdE this is a pretty good talk on the topic
boreal iron
At the end it’s something you can’t actually solve or prevent but you should be aware of and try to deal with not like discord atm being far, far behind
Can’t watch that atm while driving lol
native walrus
the thing is, just like how discord doesn't know how well it's doing in terms of dealing with the problem, you don't know how well they're doing either
what if discord is doing a lot of work behind the scenes and this is only 10% of the phishing we would otherwise be seeing
considering how bad things are I kind of doubt that but you know, that's a possibility
boreal iron
Yeah also true even if I believe it’s not the case, but I could be wrong
native walrus
ugh I want to work at google just so I can learn from this guy in the talk lol
boreal iron
Finally made it home through all the fog, rain, while eating in my car and texting with you
Proves I’m a multithread talent
And yes I said thread intentionally instead of task since we’re in the development room
Needs to sounds "techy" and fancy
native walrus
isn't consciousness single-threaded
boreal iron
Nope some people actually can’t walk and breathe at the same time watching them
native walrus
consciously multitasking is just quickly switching between multiple things
quartz kindle
humans are async
boreal iron
No no I’m always stopping my car if I’m replying, trust me
