development

[pale vessel]

nobody could do it except the user itself so i doubt a bot could do it

[rocky hearth]

so if a member dont join a thread, they can't see thread in the channels list either, right?

[pale vessel]

yep

they need to click the threads button on top right

[rocky hearth]

hmm ok

[pale vessel]

active threads also show up when you hover over a channel afaik

i'm not sure if you need to join them or not for them to appear

[quartz kindle]

threads were a dumb idea

good morning

[pale vessel]

good morning indeed

[rocky hearth]

yes i dont see people using it much.

[lyric mountain]

additionally, if the thread is private you can invite a member

[rocky hearth]

so can the bot too invite peoples?

[lyric mountain]

probably

although I'd not rely on private threads

since discord was dumb enough to make it boost-only

[earnest phoenix]

no one

[earnest phoenix]

i agree

[feral aspen]

Is there a word you call discord.js buttons and dropdowns?

Is there like an overall word or sentence for it?

[lyric mountain]

interactions

[feral aspen]

Interactions? Sure!

[lyric mountain]

yeah

both are interactions

[wooden ember]

i know this is probably self explanatory but i ran npm i discord.js

that downloaded d.js v12 didnt it

cuz theirs a file in node modules calld discord-12

[earnest phoenix]

It got changed to npm ui discord.js

[wooden ember]

?

[earnest phoenix]

Just try it

[wooden ember]

what does ui do?

(i mean whats the diference between that and just i)

[earnest phoenix]

Uninstalls a package

[wooden ember]

ah

so how do i get v13? though

is it just npm i discord.js@13.14.0

or did it just install both or somthing for compatability

[cobalt junco]

there isnt v13.14.0

[wooden ember]

i cant remember the version number of the top of my head i just remember there being a 4 in it

[cobalt junco]

To install a specific version run npm i PACKAGE@VERSION

[wooden ember]

yee

[atomic kindle]

Or to install the latest stable one, npm i package@latest

[earnest phoenix]

Just try npm i discord.js@latest

[atomic kindle]

Ay!

[earnest phoenix]

wait shouldn't it be ui instead of i

[wooden ember]

unknown command: "ui"

[wooden ember]

ah

[earnest phoenix]

how?

I learned mongodb from CodeLyon, and he uses it like this

oh I didn't use await (well, quick.db don't need it so I never had to put async/await)

[wheat mesa]

async await is very important for db calls

[split hazel]

soon it will be just await

all hail top level await

[earnest phoenix]

already exists in esm modules and deno

[wheat mesa]

Yes

[lyric mountain]

learning from videos is a baaaaad thing

not because their content, but because they don't get updated

[earnest phoenix]

fireship

[lyric mountain]

fireship?

[earnest phoenix]

awesome yt channel

[sudden geyser]

fireship isn't much better

all they try to do is give you an introductory into what some tool is about

[lyric mountain]

the issue is getting the habit of learning from videos instead of documentation/actual searching

[earnest phoenix]

I wrote the documentation after a video on English writing

[sudden geyser]

code most people here clearly don't learn best from videos

[earnest phoenix]

wha....

[lyric mountain]

not always there'll be a video for your exact case, that's why so many "programmers" don't even know how to use stackoverflow

[earnest phoenix]

I didn't save it as array tho

[lyric mountain]

and end up with a ton of boilerplate without knowing what it's doing

[lyric mountain]

ownedCards isn't an array

it's an object

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

[lyric mountain]

The field 'ownedCards' must be an array

[earnest phoenix]

in type it's object

check the image that I sent above

[sudden geyser]

You can learn from watching videos, but not the kind of "follow the tutorial" we see from #development. Presentations, talks, and slides introducing or building on software are a great way to learn new things imo

Fireship does that but not to the extent of other videos I've seen

[earnest phoenix]

I just needed some reference

fireship has very less tutorials

[split hazel]

yeah because he wants you to buy fireship pro

[earnest phoenix]

lmao

[sudden geyser]

$25 a month yikes

[earnest phoenix]

why that error?

[lyric mountain]

with 25 a month you buy a metric ton of courses

[lyric mountain]

idk if mongo has this, but did u refactor the current data and structure?

[earnest phoenix]

refactor?

[lyric mountain]

like, if it previously accepted Arrays it'll expect Arrays

[sudden geyser]

for the subject of the courses and how many he has, isn't worth it to me personally

[lyric mountain]

even if u changed the type, u still need to change the current content

else it'll conflict

[sudden geyser]

I've seen some others, like jetbrains academy also charge a lot but have a lot more and spread out the subjects

[lyric mountain]

again, this is a sql thing, idk if mongo has this

or any structure at all

[earnest phoenix]

nope

It's like this from the start

I'll delete all the mongo data and check

anyways there's no data at all

same

[lyric mountain]

then idk, check the docs

[earnest phoenix]

ok

I think push is the one

giving error

await profileModel.findOneAndUpdate({userID: message.author.id}, {$push: {ownedCards: {rarity: [`${chsa}`]}, all: [`${chsa}`]}});

[earnest phoenix]

How can i add a function to message so when i do message.embed() it sends embed message

[earnest phoenix]

That can be done by modifying the prototype, but that would lead to prototype pollution, which is not a good idea, just make a helper method and use it

[cinder patio]

It's not really a big deal unless ur making a library though. discord.js would never create a message.embed function

[earnest phoenix]

my message create funtion

[wheat mesa]

still though, not a great practice to modify the prototype

helper function is just the way to go

pass in your message object to the helper function and your embed

[cinder patio]

yeah

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[earnest phoenix]

Just wanna use protoype to learn

[wheat mesa]

you could extend the message class couldn't you? Or does djs prevent that

[earnest phoenix]

Not only could it cause prototype pollution, but you wouldn't really need that method on every message instance, if you modify the prototype, that method will also be present on every message instance, which can increase the memory usage unexpectedly

Although this wasn't really a problem in the older discord.js versions where extendable structures existed

[cinder patio]

Eeeeh I doubt you would see a change. V8 definitely makes sure to optimize that.

[earnest phoenix]

I am using v14

You're using the dev builds, so it still applies

[earnest phoenix]

Can i get example?

[sudden geyser]

would be a lot more painful anyway

[earnest phoenix]

Although our V8 engine still initializes a marker for unused or "overused" object slots, because it has to help the GC and stuff, it's a hassle to optimize that anyway

[wheat mesa]

async function embed(message, embed) {
  return await message.reply({embeds: [embed]});
}

and just call it like any other function

[earnest phoenix]

Calling this function everytime with message comes like death for me

That's the nature of helper methods, especially external ones

[wheat mesa]

modifying the internal lib of djs also sounds like death waiting to happen but up to you

[cinder patio]

You could replace the Message class from the require.cache

no prototype pollution then

[earnest phoenix]

I had client.send(type, text) it didnt cause any problem

[earnest phoenix]

Oh because it was it

Not prototype

[earnest phoenix]

discord.js internally uses that class, so replacing it that way wouldn't replace it in the library, which is the reason why the users who used extendable structures were mad, as they were removed entirely

[sudden geyser]

it's like 6 extra characters

[cinder patio]

it still would

AFAIK require.cache is global. Replacing the Message before discord.js uses it will do it

[sudden geyser]

please just use the function

[earnest phoenix]

Okay

You can't replace it before discord.js uses it, since it imports everything it needs before anything in your code is executed, which would make it impossible to replace it in the context of the library, although the only thing you can to is to modify the library yourself, which is not a good idea

The helper method is the best option

[sudden geyser]

even with the prototype or function it's not going to compose well

[cinder patio]

You can just require the file the Message class comes from

not the entire lib

[sudden geyser]

you can only reply and only with an embed. nothing more, nothing less. want to include some message content, or an attachment? too bad

[earnest phoenix]

You could, but what I mean is that the code in the libraries are already executed in a partial way before you even import them, which is what makes it impossible to replace those internally used classes, which reminds me of that guy
"Ah yes, kill all the bots that use extendable structures properly"

discord.js™️

[cinder patio]

I'll test it out

alright you can't

[feral aspen]

const nFilter = (int) => int.message.id === n.id && int.user.id === interaction.member.id;
const nCollector = interaction.channel.createMessageComponentCollector({ nFilter, max: 1, componentType: 'BUTTON', time: 30000 });

How to check each value in the nFilter example check the value of int.message.id, n.id int.user.id and interaction.member.id? I want to check each value of those?

I tried debugging, didn't know what I was doing, honestly.

I JUST REALISED, it's filter: nFilter.

Well, problem solved.

[cinder patio]

the best way to check it is to make a Set and check if it's size is 1

wait how do you want to check them exactly? You want to check if all of them are the same

[earnest phoenix]

Did I do something incorrect?

[lyric mountain]

did ya search in SO or in the docs?

[earnest phoenix]

so?

oh

yeah

in StackOverflow

[lyric mountain]

usually everything can be found there

[earnest phoenix]

I found it there

but it doesn't work

[earnest phoenix]

gives this

ohhh

wait

I have to put it without [] right?

[earnest phoenix]

I have it like this

[lyric mountain]

the whole thing is in brackets, so it's an object

I can't really help u with mongo

and very few here are experient with it

[earnest phoenix]

well hi

what you need help with

[lyric mountain]

@earnest phoenix ^

[earnest phoenix]

ok wtf is $push

that kind of stuff @cinder patio is experienced with

kthxbai

[round cove]

It's a mongoose action.

[lyric mountain]

if (code913) throw new IDFKException();

[round cove]

I think it's rarity: { $each: ['my stuff'] }

[earnest phoenix]

each?

I'm adding only one thing

[round cove]

Yes so it says insert each item from this array into "rarity"

Because it's an array type it has to use it.

[earnest phoenix]

oh

will give it a try

rarity is an array

something like this?

await profileModel.findOneAndUpdate({userID: message.author.id}, {$push: {ownedCards: {rarity: {$each: [`${chsa}`]}}, all: chsa}});

[lyric mountain]

in the dark of the night, I wonder

is mongo really easier than sql?

idk, it feels very messy and confusing

[earnest phoenix]

nah it's not, i'm just coding shorter so it looks messy

[sudden geyser]

for many people, it probably is initially

[lyric mountain]

that's the thing, like, people say it's easier, but from everything I see around it feels extremely confusing

I can't even imagine maintaining a big database transaction

[earnest phoenix]

Python is hard for me

for me too

[lyric mountain]

not that kind of confusing

like, it's the kind of thing you write once and never maintains

cuz u need a specific mindset to understand what and why you did something

[earnest phoenix]

well

when I complete my bot, I will never touch it

[lyric mountain]

that's what u think

[earnest phoenix]

it looks cool when using it but the coding is extremely bad

[lyric mountain]

I mean, eventually it'll start to break apart

bots are services, and services are never truly finished

[earnest phoenix]

well i've maintained many commands but it's inefficient

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

$each didn't work

it says ownedCards is marked as array in document

the document

[round cove]

you need to wrap the rarity with push

not the owned cards

[earnest phoenix]

oh

what did I do to you mongodb....

[rocky hearth]

Can a thread be permanent like text channels?

[grim aspen]

You can have it active or archived in a text channel

[spark flint]

does anyone here know how to delete a file with aws-sdk

[quartz kindle]

aws-sdk pls delete file with magick kthxbai

[spark flint]

or even better, how can i bulk make everything public in a do space

[earnest phoenix]

Threads are temporary text channels, so they can't stay unarchived on their own forever, the maximum duration a thread can stay unarchived on it's own is 1 week, although staff members can unarchive the channel when it gets archived, so you can for example give your bot the permission to unarchive threads and unarchive that thread when it gets archived

[earnest phoenix]

don't joke about that stuff here tim
we trust you so much we can't tell the difference between you helping and trolling

[wheat mesa]

On the off chance someone here has experience with this, I would greatly appreciate any help/advice I can get on fixing this repo: https://github.com/Jwaffled/MathExpressionParser/tree/master/WaffleCompiler/Core

My current issue is that I got the greater than and less than tokens to work properly, but it crashes when I try to use other operators, because I structured it to return a bool and such, which isn't correct

[quartz kindle]

a good troll is indistinguishable from advice

[wheat mesa]

[stiff lynx]

I have to cache for the parent of a channel that I want to create?

GuildChannelManager.create(nomeServer, [{ parent: categoria }]);```

[sudden geyser]

I have some HTTP server for a personal site I'd like to host. Where should I look?

[quartz kindle]

no you just need to use it correctly

remove the []

[stiff lynx]

only graphs?

[quartz kindle]

{ parent: categoria }

[earnest phoenix]

vercel or netlify or github pages

[stiff lynx]

categoria Is basically the category ID

[boreal iron]

Somebody here to check a link for me for Discord scam?

Can’t inspect the website on mobile

[earnest phoenix]

well i can if you explain me what you need

[earnest phoenix]

bruh what... wtf is that lol

[earnest phoenix]

anyone?

[earnest phoenix]

What kind of nitro beggar checks scams to see if they're legit

[stiff lynx]

I'm getting troubles about passing a costant from a file.js to file1.js

I get them as undefined

[cinder patio]

are both files requireing each other?

[earnest phoenix]

syntax errors..

30+ mins changing stuff

await profileModel.findOneAndUpdate({userID: message.author.id}, { $push: {`ownerCards.$.${rarity}`: {$each: [chsa]}, $push: {all: {$each: [chsa]}}}});

what's wrong

"Property Assignment expected" in ownerCards.$

',' expected

Declaration or statement expected

[cinder patio]

You need to put the string literal inside brackets

[...]:

[earnest phoenix]

ok

oh yeah

it solved all

tysm

the check doesn't work

let check = await profileData.all;
let truemsg;

if (check.includes(chsaa)) {

check is an array

[cinder patio]

What is profileData?

can you console log check

[earnest phoenix]

profileData is the user's profileData got from the db

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[rocky hearth]

whats the point of archived threads if people can still message there?

[sudden geyser]

so the thread is marked as inactive and is harder to find

e.g. using threads for questions and archiving them so people can still look at them and reply if they have something to say

[earnest phoenix]

this appears

[rocky hearth]

and how long can a thread be? Is there any limitation?

[sudden geyser]

depends on the server

servers with boosts can set the time longer

the longest is a week

shortest is a day

with some points in between

[rocky hearth]

no, I mean the message counts.

[sudden geyser]

ah, no message limit

[rocky hearth]

we can hv a thread forever right

[sudden geyser]

theoretically yes

[rocky hearth]

I hv used threads like this to better organize channels,
and let members join their interest of threads

[austere surge]

oo

[lyric mountain]

I know what ur thinking, don't try sending a message every X minutes to keep it alive

[austere surge]

yeah dont do that

a good idea for organization though

[lyric mountain]

btw, u can just use those characters if u want that tree-like organization

[rocky hearth]

y though?

[austere surge]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lyric mountain]

api abuse

[austere surge]

i keep almost putting the middle finger instead of the pointer finger reaction

[lyric mountain]

├ Do
├ It
├ Like
└ This

[rocky hearth]

may be, but those hash icons will still show on channels

[austere surge]

yea

[lyric mountain]

well, yea

[sudden geyser]

because threads are not optimized for that.

you might as well create a regular channel for that

[rocky hearth]

yeah, thx

[rocky hearth]

but doing it once a day/week wont hurt. Then?

does discord notices the pattern?

[lyric mountain]

I'd not chance it

as klay said, threads aren't really meant to be kept open for too long, there HAS to be a reason they didn't just add an unlimited time option

if you keep it open for too long, they will notice it eventually

[earnest phoenix]

it doesn't push anything ```js
await profileModel.findOneAndUpdate({userID: message.author.id}, { $push: {[ownerCards.$.${rarity}]: {$each: [${chsa}]}, $push: {all: {$each: [chsa]}}}});

no errors

[quartz kindle]

are you sure you want to do

{
    $push: {
        [`ownerCards.$.${rarity}`]: {
            $each: [`${chsa}`]
        },
        $push: {
            all: {
                $each: [chsa]
            }
        }
    }
}
``` and not ```js
{
    $push: {
        [`ownerCards.$.${rarity}`]: {
            $each: [`${chsa}`]
        },
        all: {
            $each: [chsa]
        }
    }
}
``` ?

i mean, it doesnt make sense to have one push inside another

[earnest phoenix]

the second one

but it gives error

[quartz kindle]

then show the error?

[earnest phoenix]

syntax error

"Property assignment expected"

oh wait no

my code was the problem

will try and see

it didn't update ownedCards.rarity but did update all

rarity is the card's rarity so it adds in the correct rarity

[earnest phoenix]

You're supposed to do:

{
  $push: {
    [`ownerCards.${rarity}`]: {
      $each: [`${chsa}`]
    },
    all: {
      $each: [chsa]
    }
  }
}

yep changed it for that

and same

well, will check "unstringing" chsa in the ownedCards like in all

Is it not pushing the specified element to the ownerCards.<rarity> array?

[earnest phoenix]

yeah that

oops

ownedCards...

Typos are the worst

will check now

}

[earnest phoenix]

tysm worked

[sudden geyser]

oh god

[earnest phoenix]

wtf

[sudden geyser]

Java probably doesn't want nested classes to be able to access variables from their parent classes

i.e.

class A {
  int b = 5;

  class C {
    public C(int d) {
      System.out.println(b + d);
    }
  }
}

So the compiler is asking you to mark b as final so it can't be modified.

[earnest phoenix]

how can I pick 10 of an array?

instead of array[0] and so on that picks 1 i want to pick multiple (10)

[sudden geyser]

ten of what? apples? oranges? the first ten? last 10? a random sample of ten?

[earnest phoenix]

the first 10

[sudden geyser]

use .slice

e.g. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].slice(0, 2)

[earnest phoenix]

ok

ty

[lyric mountain]

they can

[sudden geyser]

but why the error

[lyric mountain]

because you can't change the value of a variable to be passed to an inner class (reference issues)

[lyric mountain]

first of all, you don't need to declare the whole thing, just use e -> { code here } for events (or any other functional interface)

second, define a new variable to hold the value to be passed to the inner class

you can also use an anonymous class or an object array

or an atomic variable

in your case, you could do ```java
YourClass voornaamtext = ...;
voornaamtext = ...; // changing the variable value

YourClass finalVoornaam = voornaamtext;
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String addon1 = finalVoornaam.getText(); // this wont error
}

or for atomic: ```java
AtomicReference<YourClass> voornaamtext = new AtomicReference(...);
voornaamtext.set(...); // changing the atomic value

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String addon1 = voornaamtext.get().getText(); // this wont error
}

That last lhs = new NodeBinary() line doesn't work because NodeBinary takes a Func<double, double, double> and not a Func<double, double, bool>

[cinder patio]

What are you doing anyways 🤔

[wheat mesa]

math parsing

[cinder patio]

Maybe have the function return either 0 or 1 instead a boolean?

or use an enum to store all possible values, not sure if java has those

[wheat mesa]

the problem is that the function that calls this needs a node back

(c# btw)

[cinder patio]

oh

[wheat mesa]

because I use this for calling it ```cs
public Node ParseExpression()
{
var expr = ParseGreaterThanLessThan();

    if (_tokenizer.Token != Token.Eof)
    {
        throw new SyntaxError($"Unexpected characters at end of expression");
    }

    return expr;
}

I think I might need a complete redesign

But I'm not sure where to start tbh

[cinder patio]

Well If I were u I'd group all binary expressions into one to make parsing a lot easier

and I wouldn't create functions while parsing

[wheat mesa]

What would be perfect is if I could inherit from the Node class but override the type signature to be bool

[cinder patio]

create an AST first and then run it

[wheat mesa]

But I don't believe that's possible sadly

I'll look into ASTs, I've heard of them but I don't have any idea how to create one or what it is

[cinder patio]

It's basically a tree structure which represents the program

[wheat mesa]

Oh that's similar to what I'm doing

looking at this, if it's right then that's what I'm doing pretty much

[cinder patio]

so for example a + b would be

BooleanExpression {
   op: "+",
   left: Identifier { name: "a" },
   right: Identifier { name: "b" }
}

yeah that's it

but I see that you're also creating the functions while parsing

[wheat mesa]

yeah

[cinder patio]

It'd be better to create the full AST first then traverse it

[wheat mesa]

that's one of the biggest issues

so yeah i'll look into how to do that AST thing

[cinder patio]

look into recursive descent parsers

[split hazel]

So i have two interface types here

does anyone know if you can overload interfaces so if ACK = Failure, error response properties become available

[coral sigil]

pp

[lament rock]

You'd need something like

interface PayPalBaseNVPResponse {
  ACK: 'Success';
}

interface PayPalNVPErrorResponse {
  ACK: 'Failure';
  L_SHORTMESSAGE0: string;
  L_ERRORCODE0: string;
}

export type PayPalNVPResponse = PayPalBaseNVPResponse | PayPalNVPErrorResponse;

When you check if ACK === 'Failure', it will type narrow down to the error response interface

[split hazel]

that works beautifully thanks a bunch!

[ember lodge]

Any idea how to make fs to edit a file without permissions?

i want to edit /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf but just root can edit it

and for some reason my user can’t be root

[woeful pike]

become root and give your user edit permissions

[ember lodge]

how can i do that?

[quartz kindle]

do you have root access to the machine?

or is it a hosting service that does not give you root access?

[ember lodge]

It's just my raspberry pi, i already fixed it tho, thanks

Does fs corrupt files or something? Because for some reason when i modify the hostapd.conf file the service stops working, then it works again only if i delete it and paste everything again manually.

[lyric mountain]

Fs is...iffy, to say the least

You need to exert extreme caution when writing to files to not have 2 operations running at once

[lucid prawn]

puts the prefix as space for some reason

const filter2 = (reaction, user) => {
    return (msg) => msg.author.id === messageCreate.author.id
}
      let prefix = await messageCreate.channel.awaitMessages({ filter3, max: 1, errors: ["time"], time: 30000 })
      if (!prefix.first())
        return client.sendTime(
          messageCreate.channel,
          "You took too long to respond."
        );
      prefix = prefix.first();
      prefix = prefix.content;

      await client.database.guild.set(messageCreate.guild.id, {
        prefix: prefix,
        DJ: GuildDB.DJ,
      });

[quartz kindle]

that filter wont work

first of all you define filter2 but use filter3

second, you cant do that

{ filter3 } is a shortcut for { filter3: filter3 } but filter3 is not a valid option

[lucid prawn]

here filter3

const filter3 = (reaction, user) => {
    return user.id === messageCreate.author.id &&
        ["1️⃣", "2️⃣"].includes(reaction.emoji.name);
};

[quartz kindle]

that makes no sense either

you're using awaitMessages not awaitReactions

[lucid prawn]

this won't work anymore

 let emoji = await ConfigMessage.awaitReactions(
      (reaction, user) =>
        user.id === messageCreate.author.id &&
        ["1️⃣", "2️⃣"].includes(reaction.emoji.name),
      { max: 1, errors: ["time"], time: 30000 }
    )

I'm trying to use this https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/reactions.html#listening-for-reactions-on-old-messages to fix it

[quartz kindle]

thats a completely different thing, it has nothing to do with the code you showed about prefixes

[lucid prawn]

prefix used to = let prefix = await messageCreate.channel.awaitMessages( (msg) => msg.author.id === messageCreate.author.id, { max: 1, time: 30000, errors: ["time"] } );

[quartz kindle]

that makes more sense

[lucid prawn]

nothing happens when I use that

[quartz kindle]

then your problem is somewhere else

[lucid prawn]

umm

[quartz kindle]

what is messageCreate?

[lucid prawn]

run: async (client, messageCreate, args, { GuildDB }) => {

[quartz kindle]

you'll need to show more code then

[lucid prawn]

https://pastebin.com/Yn1VmUV0

  sendTime(Channel, Error) {
    let embed = new MessageEmbed()
      .setDescription(Error);

    Channel.send({ embeds: [embed]});
  }

[lament rock]

you need to physically put \n

multi line strings in code don't translate to new lines being inserted into the string

[ember lodge]

let me test quickly

[lament rock]

iirc

"this\
will\
turn\
into\
this"
// "this will turn into this"

[pale vessel]

they use ` though

although you need to remove the indentations

[lament rock]

it doesn't matter for \

[pale vessel]

that's not what they doing?

isn't this what their expected result is?

not sure if the extra indentations were what caused the error

[lament rock]

Are you using \?

[ember lodge]

bruh

[pale vessel]

yeah

remove the indentation

or strip them using a function

cause that code looks ugly

[quartz kindle]

@lucid prawnread this again ^

[lucid prawn]

ok

I can use let emoji = await ConfigMessage.awaitReactions( (reaction, user) => user.id === messageCreate.author.id && ["1️⃣", "2️⃣"].includes(reaction.emoji.name), { max: 1, errors: ["time"], time: 30000 } ).
instead of filter3

this is not working, It does not give me any errors

any ideas

[quartz kindle]

you're still not providing a valid filter

[lucid prawn]

with my old code I didn't use filters

I don't know anything about them

[quartz kindle]

look

[earnest phoenix]

this has nothing to do with filters

[quartz kindle]

awaitMessages expects an object of options

like this

[elder jewel]

anyone have a idea for me?

[quartz kindle]

{
  filter: your filter here,
  max: your max here,
  time: your time here,
  ...etc
}

you are not giving it a filter option

[earnest phoenix]

{ emojiFilter } would become { emojiFilter: emojiFilter } instead of { filter: emojiFilter }

[quartz kindle]

{ filter3 } is not the same as { filter }

{ () => {} } is not the same as { filter }

the name filter has to be the correct name

[earnest phoenix]

why do they even have so many filters for the same thing

[quartz kindle]

so you have to do either { filter } or { filter: filter3 } or { filter: () => {} }

understood?

[lucid prawn]

yes I'm dumb sorry

[quartz kindle]

see the difference?

[lucid prawn]

oh ok

messageCreate.channel.awaitMessages({ filter: filter2, max: 1, errors: ["time"], time: 30000 })

yes?

[earnest phoenix]

yes

[lucid prawn]

yay

[earnest phoenix]

gg

[lucid prawn]

GG sir

next error lol

/question

Is it okay if I start shards early?

[austere surge]

you can make a sharding manager before needed yeah

just dont make too many shards

[lucid prawn]

const { ShardingManager } = require('discord.js');

const manager = new ShardingManager('./bot.js', {
    totalShards: "auto",
    token: process.env['Token'],
    spawnTimeout: -1,
    respawn: true
});

manager.on("shardCreate", shard => {
  shard.on('reconnecting', () => {
    console.log(`Reconnecting shard: [${shard.id}]`);
  });
  shard.on('spawn', () => {
    console.log(`Spawned shard: [${shard.id}]`);
  });
  shard.on('ready', () => {
    console.log(` Shard [${shard.id}] is ready`);
  });
  shard.on('death', () => {
    console.log(`Died shard: [${shard.id}]`);
  });
  shard.on('error', (error) => {
     console.error(error)
  })
});

manager.spawn(manager.totalShards, 5500, -1).catch(e => console.log(e))

[austere surge]

looks right to me

[lucid prawn]

this normal?

Error [SHARDING_READY_DIED]: Shard 0's process exited before its Client became ready.

[austere surge]

theree should be an error above

[lucid prawn]

Died shard: [0]
Spawned shard: [0]

}

[austere surge]

does it run fine without shard

[lucid prawn]

with it and without

[austere surge]

?

[lucid prawn]

The bot still runs with that error

[austere surge]

whats the actual error

[lucid prawn]

Shard 0's process exited before its Client became ready.

[austere surge]

why would that appear without shard

[lucid prawn]

yes

when I use shards

I get this error

Shard 0's process exited before its Client became ready.

[austere surge]

the manager hsa something wrong then hold on

i just have manager.spawn();

might be why

[lucid prawn]

ok

do I keep client.login() in my main file?

[austere surge]

yes

[lucid prawn]

  reject(new Error('SHARDING_READY_TIMEOUT', this.id));
               ^

Error [SHARDING_READY_TIMEOUT]: Shard 0's Client took too long to become ready.

I want to make a channel where sending messages is not allowed, instead members have to create threads to start discussion on any topic.

Is it possible?

I tried but then, threads inherit channel permissions. and messages cant be send their too

You need to send a message in order to start a thread

yoo.. another custom css doubt.. im trying to use some shortcut ways to enhance my css.. why aint this block quote thingy working

"theoretically" it shld look like this

im a newbie in css so pls help

btw do you know how to update this? like.. idk it aint updating

[earnest phoenix]

Please stop using ytdl for music bots

[earnest phoenix]

Maybe it's the

1. padding top + padding bottom.
2. height of the blockquote.
3. css being css.

[rocky hearth]

reason?

[earnest phoenix]

Youtube tos

[rocky hearth]

and what could be the alternatives?

[earnest phoenix]

Soundcloud

[rocky hearth]

If a thread gets auto archived, and then a mod unarchive it back. Does the members who have joined the thread get reset?

Do they have to join again?

[azure lark]

Is there something similar for soundcloud or Spotify

[earnest phoenix]

Soundcloud has an api

[split hazel]

wasn't it always against the tos just they weren't really acting on it before 💀

they really won't care or do anything unless you grow to the size of rythm but yeah

[earnest phoenix]

yeah im gonna grow my bot and cry myself to sleep when it gets banned

[earnest phoenix]

you cant even use spotify

[split hazel]

come on now lets be realistic

[green pebble]

So I have to redefin the top and bottom paddings? Hmm

But y ain't it dotted

[split hazel]

how does postgres differ from mysql/mariadb

ive never used postgres

apparently its "better" according to the community

[earnest phoenix]

better according to the community is why i hate npm

[woeful pike]

all 3 are good dbs

mysql doesn't have any way to seed rows which is really annoying

[round cove]

postgres is better because it's not oracle

[split hazel]

i dont see why people hate oracle so much but anyways mariadb is oss

without oracle we wouldnt have a lot of the tools we have today

[woeful pike]

with pg you can generate test data with

insert into your_table
SELECT generate_series(1,100000), 'some value' as column_name

I cry every day working on auctions because it doesn't have this lol

[split hazel]

.. nice

moving over to postgres now

oh no sim cards use java how could we live without java!

what causes that error ?

i tried googling it and having a hard time understanding what it even means

[split hazel]

bruh can you really do that

[fiery stream]

do what lol

[split hazel]

block people from using your images via security policies

[fiery stream]

no-

[split hazel]

yes

[fiery stream]

lol no im making a insta-dp like website n my website is blocking from using images from 3rd party sources

using=loading

[fiery stream]

got it lol

it started happening after i installed flask-talisman cuz i want users to go to https:// by default

n apparently it goes the security polices too n which i didnt know how to use/work with

[cinder patio]

omfg why is it so hard to use chakra.ui dynamic sizes with next.js images this shit is taking me hours

[earnest phoenix]

html width overrides css

there's nothing you can do because next image has 3 divs forcing your image to be the same size

if the message still exists, yes

[stiff lynx]

Tim is the person that makes me still believe in humanity

how I search for the message?

messageId = id;

how can I search for the message?

[wheat mesa]

fetch the message by id

[stiff lynx]

message.fetch(messageId)

?

[wheat mesa]

No

Look at the docs

[stiff lynx]

.fetch(force)

what is this bool force?

[cinder patio]

discord.js usually first looks in the cache to check if the object is there

if you set force to true discord.js will ignore the cache

[stiff lynx]

ok, then still don't get how to pass the id as an arg

[wheat mesa]

I don’t know the specific method because I use detritus but I know it’s possible

[stiff lynx]

neither do I

If I have a JSON object like this:

How would I access those objects? I can't necessarily do:

in what language

[simple stump]

ah. ty

[atomic kindle]

what lib are you using link?

[marble juniper]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/pg

im using postgresql

[atomic kindle]

use sequelize or smth

it'll make your life easier

[marble juniper]

no

it will not

it runs atop the native pg lib

I want to use raw sql

bruh

I don't wanna use an orm

just help me with my question or don't

don't tell me to go use another lib

ur not helping with that

[atomic kindle]

just a suggestion

[marble juniper]

will you help me or not

[atomic kindle]

it'll work

looks fine to me

i'm assuming id is the default auto-incrementing id

[sudden geyser]

id is a parameter: not a value

I'm pretty sure what you (Link) wrote is correct.

do interaction button's functions go inactive some time later?

i'm doing a registeration system with buttons on a different system that gives user the role (interaction user of command) but i'm worried about that

I don't think they do

[stiff dust]

How can i check that user vote to my bot in top gg?

[spark flint]

#topgg-api https://docs.top.gg

[marble juniper]

no its not auto incrementing

since im storing discord guild ids

[boreal iron]

It does but the site cache will show the result sometimes hours later

[marble juniper]

is it ok if I do

UPDATE bot SET scanned = scanned + 1

without using the WHERE clause

I only have a single column in the table

or do I need to do

UPDATE bot SET scanned = scanned + 1
WHERE id = 1

[sudden geyser]

It's fine without the WHERE, technically.

It'll just increment all the values in the scanned column, even though you only have one row.

[marble juniper]

ok

ty

[sudden geyser]

Me personally, if you have a table with only one row, it probably doesn't make sense to include it in your database.

[marble juniper]

Well I just store statistics for my bot there

[spark flint]

TypeError: user.kick is not a function

discord.js

[cinder patio]

console log user

btw, only guild members have a kick method

It's those image links That you can put text or stuff on them just by editing the link. , I can show you what it is if you want

check the endpoint url

[azure lark]

do i need to enable something in the discord developer portal dashboard to allow my bot to play audio inside voice channels?

no

you just need guild voice states intent in the gateway

can i just do this then?

[earnest phoenix]

schannel is undefined

[hidden gorge]

oh ok

[boreal iron]

Where’s your code causing the error? Can’t see it in the screenshot

[earnest phoenix]

it's in the end

and nope, I didn't close async by mistake abov

e

it's in the end too

[boreal iron]

Well it’s so poorly formatted I can’t see if it’s wrapped in another (sync) function

[earnest phoenix]

idk what happened with this code but since some time, I can't use await in it

[boreal iron]

It your database code wrapped in any other function? Like foreach etc?

[earnest phoenix]

no

I think it's not

oh wait yeah

in a setTimeout

[boreal iron]

Yeah there you go

It has to be async too

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[boreal iron]

That’s why proper indentation is so important

[earnest phoenix]

so js setTimeout(function () { to ```js
setTimeout(function async () {

[boreal iron]

lol

[earnest phoenix]

now I know

[boreal iron]

async function

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[boreal iron]

or arrow expressions

async () => { …

[earnest phoenix]

too late

but will keep it in mind next time

[boreal iron]

Alright

I use return client.sendTime(interaction, for message to be a embed

[lament rock]

is the interaction an instance of CommandInteraction

[earnest phoenix]

bruh

when finally activated bot after some weeks

they keys are repeating and giving error

I made it unique

and made the bot to firstly check if there's already a key

well key or document

[sharp saddle]

can someone tell me why my bot fails to play an audio-live?

like, you run the command, after 5 seconds the audio stops

[wheat mesa]

well, any errors?

[sharp saddle]

no

just stop.

and nothing happens

[sterile lantern]

Is it possible to change what the title says for an alert() function in a website? I want it to say something else for the title (rn it says: Website says:)

[junior pecan]

Well, thats my endpoint url script.
https://some-random-api.ml/canvas/youtube-comment/$username/$message/$authorAvatar

[pale vessel]

check the documentation

that's not how you provide parameters

use https://some-random-api.ml/canvas/youtube-comment?username=$username&var=$var...

[lament rock]

pog. Telk's api

[junior pecan]

Oh

Sure i will give a try

[junior pecan]

IT WORKED

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[pale vessel]

[neat ingot]

const channel = interaction.channel;
const collector = channel.createMessageComponentCollector(options);
collector.on('collect', async i => {
    // randomly throws unknown interaction error
    await i.update({content:"stuff"}); 
});

I keep randomly getting unknown interaction errors from code like this. is this incorrect? are failed interaction errors common?

note ~ works like 95% of the time

[pale vessel]

does it happen instantly or after 3s?

[neat ingot]

no idea, but the only errors in my log are from unknown interactions lol

[pale vessel]

so it updated late

actually no

that'd be 15m iirc

[wheat mesa]

@lyric mountain you're the java wizard, you got any idea what causes this? fixed it, it's something weird about package access level not working with multiple classloaders

for reference, AstPrinter and Expr.Visitor are both in the same package and have no access specifiers, so it should work in theory

[quartz kindle]

interaction events have a time limit of 3 seconds before they expire

sometimes due to network slowness or slowness in the discord api, you receive them already expired or too close to expiration to respond to them in time

this is very common issue when using interaction events via gateway

[neat ingot]

I'm able to set a timeout for the message collector though, which is the 'interaction' in this case, no?

[quartz kindle]

wdym?

[neat ingot]

like, the button collector event from the collector is the 'interaction' in the cast of the i.update... no?

[pale vessel]

the interaction would be the button interaction

you have to respond within 3s or defer it

you might want to defer it first

[neat ingot]

but im able to set the timeout for the collector, doesnt that also set the timeout for the interactions potential response time?

like, if i make 'wait_s' set to 60, it waits 60 seconds for the interaction

[quartz kindle]

no

[boreal iron]

You’re mixing things, once a client has pressed your button you need to respond to API within 3s

[quartz kindle]

the 3 seconds time limit is discord waiting for you

it has nothing to do with your code

[neat ingot]

ooooooohhhhhhhhh

[boreal iron]

Doesn’t matter if you reply with a message or defer the response but you have to respond to the API with something within 3s

[quartz kindle]

if discord does not receive any response using that interaction's unique token, it deletes the interaction from their end

[boreal iron]

Or the interaction fails

[neat ingot]

ok ok im following now. so then how would i defer the reply within the collectors on collect event?

just i.deferReply() ?

[boreal iron]

If you respond to the interaction by telling the API you will respond later (deferring) you will have time to respond with actual message

But you still have to confirm to the API once an interaction happens you’re there and yes you received the event

[quartz kindle]

however, that will not make a difference if you're already using .update() immediately anyway

[boreal iron]

I mean if haven’t any async calls and can respond within the 3s there’s literally no need to defer the response

[neat ingot]

see this is whats got me i think. all my collector does is literally update the interaction right away. surely... if thats all its doing, it wouldnt be able to simply defer the reply either. cause isnt it just a case of my network is too slow in receiving the interaction data to actually respond to it?

wouldnt that also happen with the defer?

[quartz kindle]

exactly

[neat ingot]

yea, i've set it to deferReply and use editReply atm, seems to work the same, but idk if it will stop the occasional error

[quartz kindle]

you have 3 options, none of them are a real solution

1. complain to discord
2. use interactions via webhook instead of gateway
3. check the interaction timestamp and ignore it if its older than 2-3s

[boreal iron]

I mean you should get rid of the collector anyways

Interactions have an unique ID you can work with to indentify the action and handle it’s request

[neat ingot]

this is intreaguing.

[neat ingot]

no idea how i'd change how interactions are processed in that way (#2)

[boreal iron]

Any user initiated interaction will trigger the interaction event

[neat ingot]

interactionCreate i assume?

so basically your suggesting i could remove the collector for the interaction, and then process the interactions similar to how i would with commands?

ie: do some processing there to handle them..

[boreal iron]

Correct, just by building a handler for actions other than commands, too

In the same you’re dealing with slash commands

I’m dealing with it like with slash commands handling the interactions by checking if the unique ID exists in my interaction files and if so execute it’s code

I’ve got literally two handlers checking if an interaction is a command or something else then dealing with it like you do with commands

[quartz kindle]

you need a webserver and a domain name with ssl

[neat ingot]

check

dekitarpg.com 😗

[quartz kindle]

create a route or subdomain, setup a webserver, and add the url to your discord dev page

once you add the url there, you will no longer receive interactionCreate events, you will only receive them via the webserver

[neat ingot]

i might look into that and see how easy im able to switch things over to it lol

that'd be better for responding to interactions long after they are sent too i guess

[quartz kindle]

also, the webserver needs to comply will all the discord security crap

so you probably want to use a library for it

i made one myself, but there are others

[neat ingot]

interesting. so I can basically get my server to get send the interaction webhook data which i can then process from there?

[quartz kindle]

yes

[neat ingot]

that seems like more work than its worth tbh

[quartz kindle]

if your bot needs features that can only work via gateway, its not worth it

but if your bot could be moved to interaction-only, it is worth it

[boreal iron]

At the end it doesn’t require an active gateway connection but still needs to be able to receive the requests - it needs to be online anyways

[quartz kindle]

getting rid of the gateway altogether means byebye shards, byebye disconnections and reconections, byebye bloat from events you dont need

[boreal iron]

Only for a certain size of the bot tbh
If you already use a library anyway

[neat ingot]

I've literally just rewrote a crap ton of code to support sharding

~ side note: easier than i thought 🙂

[quartz kindle]

well then its not worth it

but interactions via websocket are this iffy

one thing you could try tho, but its still uncertain, is to have a separate bot with 0 intents

[boreal iron]

iffy?

[quartz kindle]

to receive interactions only

[neat ingot]

iffy - uncertain

[boreal iron]

Oh ok

[boreal iron]

Yee ty driving

[neat ingot]

unfortunately going a webhook route isnt viable for this particular bot 😦

I will be looking into that though for sure. probably make a small tester bot to check it all out

I remember someone in here had setup aws lambdas or something to handle his interactions

that seemed pretty nifty 😛

[quartz kindle]

ye

webhook interactions can be easily scaled the same way you scale websites

[boreal iron]

The advantage of a gateway connection is that event usually don’t disappear

While an offline webserver can not deal with requests and they are probably gone forever

[neat ingot]

wouldnt be too hard to write a dedicated node app to handle all the webhooks.

[quartz kindle]

nope, you can scale with node cluster of pm2 cluster for example

[neat ingot]

i honestly dont think my site has been offline other than when i've caused it 😄

[quartz kindle]

and you dont need any special configuration to scale like you do with shards

[neat ingot]

docker tim, DOCKER! 😛

[boreal iron]

Well the size isn’t an issue but your backend has to respond to the request

[neat ingot]

tbh, i was wondering how i'm going to handle multiple shards with docker

like, i dont have it setup to spawn a new container for each shard

[quartz kindle]

one docker or multiple dockers?

[neat ingot]

i use docker-compose to combine multiple docker services under one roof

[quartz kindle]

one docker per shard seems like a very bad idea

[neat ingot]

yea, but all shards in one container is equally poor

which is how its setup atm

[quartz kindle]

better than the former

[neat ingot]

should be fine for upto say 3-4 shards, but yea

[quartz kindle]

one docker instance can run multiple prcesses and use multiple cores, can it not?

[neat ingot]

tbf my bot has like 3 servers.. so... not exactly a worry atm 😄

[neat ingot]

yes

[quartz kindle]

so then there is no need for mroe than one

just make one docker that runs multiple things

[neat ingot]

as long as im willing to scale vertically and get more ram etc, yea one container could potentially handle it all at scale

[quartz kindle]

you wont need to scale horizontally unless you hit millions of guilds

[boreal iron]

Still one powerful container wastes less resources on itself than lots of containers

[neat ingot]

there is also some library to improve the sharding for d.js

it makes some shards internal and spawns threads and combines methods or something

https://www.npmjs.com/package/discord-hybrid-sharding maybe?

[quartz kindle]

yes

another well known library that does it is kurasuta

although its known to have some issues at times

a single node process can only ever use 1 cpu core, however a single shard will never fully use one core

so you want to get as many shards under one process as a single core can handle

[neat ingot]

yea that makes sense

~ I've actually been slowly optimizing various parts of the overall dockerized framework that I use. Hoping to eventually release it for others to use if they wanted 🙂

[boreal iron]

Tbh I don’t think there a perfect way to start at 0 and being able to scale to something larger without optimizing or recoding things

Whatever you try to plan or do at some point you expectations are blown up which requires a rethink of your infrastructure and ecosystem and therefore some work, recode etc

[lament rock]

I have all of my gateway cons on one thread and my bot logic on another

very responsive

[neat ingot]

yea this is very true. often as things scale the logic that was once fine becomes a bottleneck and refactors are a must.

[quartz kindle]

there is a certain point in scaling that you have to give up on performance and focus on stability instead

[boreal iron]

At least cost and efficiency wise

[quartz kindle]

for example, nothing beats a local database, but if you get into horizontal scaling then you will want to exchange performance for availability, adding several databases over the wire, increasing latency and decreasing performance, but retaining availability

[neat ingot]

yea, tbh at my current scale i just want stability. i can easily scale up later as required

[quartz kindle]

focusing too much on availability too early can give you bad performance, focusing too much on performance can give you availability issues at a certain point

[earnest phoenix]

(`Link`)

[quartz kindle]

nice link

[earnest phoenix]

wait i got a question lol

im sending it

(`Link`)

How do I make that text a working hyperlink?

[quartz kindle]

[name here](link here)

only works in embeds

[earnest phoenix]

ok thank you!

[earnest phoenix]

oh

I can't do it in a normal message?

[neat ingot]

[website](http://url "some tooltip text")

[coral sigil]

try doing <link> in normal message

[dry imp]

not a scam link

[quartz kindle]

huehuehue

[earnest phoenix]

like this is my actual code so far:

client.channels.cache.get(global.config.server.channels.log).send(`Test`)

[earnest phoenix]

ohh, would it work in a normal messagr tho?

or only embeds

[dry imp]

only embeds

[quartz kindle]

only embeds

[coral sigil]

try

[quartz kindle]

<link> works for hiding the preview

but it doesnt allow you to set a name

[coral sigil]

oh they want to set a name?

[earnest phoenix]

oh thats fine, I just want to send the link somehow

without the link turning into an embed

[quartz kindle]

then yeah, use <link>

http://google.com

[austere surge]

http >:o

[quartz kindle]

they add the s for me anyway

[earnest phoenix]

(`<link>http://google.com/</link`)

[neat ingot]

https:google.com is also valid 🤯

[quartz kindle]

no

[earnest phoenix]

I can't use the link tag in the `

[quartz kindle]

literally like i showed

int he image

[earnest phoenix]

I want my bot to send it 😃

not me

lmao

[coral sigil]

does this work for suppressing the embeds also?

[quartz kindle]

make it send what i sent lol

[coral sigil]

or is it used for something els

[quartz kindle]

channel.send(`<${url}>`)

[earnest phoenix]

ohhh ok that helps, tysm!

[quartz kindle]

idk test it

its a new thing

[earnest phoenix]

so like this?

(`Test \n <${https://universe
list.xyz/server/${guild.id}/}>`

[quartz kindle]

use ${} if you have a variable

if you have raw text you dont need ${}

[spark flint]

😂 the bot list person again

[earnest phoenix]

so like this?

(`Test \n <${{https://universe
list.xyz/server/${guild.id}/}>`

[earnest phoenix]

wait ima also try that

[quartz kindle]

no

[boreal iron]

No

Nvm

[earnest phoenix]

I'm so lost 😦

[quartz kindle]

do you understand what string templates are?

[earnest phoenix]

yes, i know what they are

[quartz kindle]

well you are not using them correctly

[earnest phoenix]

bcs I don't understand it so much 😅

they are just literals enclosed in backticks

[quartz kindle]

const variable = "abc";
`some text here plus some ${variable} here`;

= some text here plus some abc here

[earnest phoenix]

ohh

${}

channel.send(`<${{https://universe-list.xyz/server/${guild.id}}>`)

[quartz kindle]

...

[earnest phoenix]

man this is so confusing 😭

[boreal iron]

Look at Tim’s example

[earnest phoenix]

OHHH

i thought we need ${} for the whole lin

k

[neat ingot]

not to give you the answer, but this is how it should be:

const site = `https://universelist.xyz/server/${guild.id}`;
const link = `[Test](${site} "This will take you to some website")`;

[quartz kindle]

yes but they dont want embeds

they just want to hide the url autoembed

[boreal iron]

Hey Tim was there a specific reason you literally told me to fuck off with my process dilemma?
Doesn’t it make sense to be able to reload the code structure without reconnecting to the gateway and database?

[quartz kindle]

i mean

its possible

but the risk is quite high

[earnest phoenix]

^^

[quartz kindle]

you risk dirtying your process with bad data basically, leaving things unclosed, memory uncleansed, etc

if your code structure is as simple as attaching a required file to an event listener, then yes its easy to do, thats how people reload commands

but if you have anything more complex than that, then its suddenly much much harder

[boreal iron]

Hmm so it requires not to mix the child’s data with the master in order to get rid of any data and memory when killing the child process

[earnest phoenix]

client.on("message", message => {
    if (message.author.bot) return false;

    if (message.author.id !== "YourID") { // Example Condition
        message.suppressEmbeds(true) // Removes all embeds from the message.
    }
})

found this on stackoverflow. Could I do something like this?

in my start file

[coral sigil]

try

[quartz kindle]

you want to remove all embeds from all messages that people send in your server?

[boreal iron]

Yeah I mean that’s what I’m doing with my commands, too which creates the possibility to reload them
I was thinking about to move the event listers to modules, too in order to be able to reload them completely

But I was actually looking for another way to reload the entire (child) process without the need to reconnect anything

[earnest phoenix]

no

[earnest phoenix]

then dont it

[quartz kindle]

if the child holds the connection, you cannot restart the child without severing the connection. you can attempt to reload every single thing inside the child without touching the connection

what you can do tho, if this is a discord connection, is to store the session data and resume

however you will still lose all your memory and cache

[neat ingot]

hey btw, ty @quartz kindle && @boreal iron . our earlier discussion was quite insightful 🙂

[boreal iron]

That’s why the idea was that the master holds any active connection and the child sends its request to the master which will handle it

[quartz kindle]

the connection itself or only the connection information?

because if the master holds the connections itself, then its the same as running internal sharding, all shards in the same process

[boreal iron]

The master holds the connections not only the information

The child will emit an event the master receives with the data the master processes

Like an event listener for database calls, gateway calls whatever

Or sharing the instances with the child process like I would share (pass) my arguments to a module

But that goes a little bit off my experience here

That’s why I’m asking

[quartz kindle]

so you have all the discord shards in the master process?

and the children are just the command/event processors?

[sharp saddle]

Talking about sharding?

[quartz kindle]

i'll shard you

[sharp saddle]

[quartz kindle]

btw i finished my websocket benchmarks, and detritus is the slowest lib lul

[boreal iron]

No I’m not talking about discord shards at all

[sharp saddle]

Should I use discord.js itself for sharding, or do I use some other library for this?

[quartz kindle]

only database connections? then you're fine

leave the connections in the master

[spark flint]

Discord-hybrid-Sharding I think it’s called

[sharp saddle]

👍

https://npmjs.org/package/discord-hybrid-sharding

[spark flint]

That’s what I use

[boreal iron]

Yeah and the gateway connection for now just for now as I’m never require sharding anyways

[quartz kindle]

then youre fine

[boreal iron]

Alright

[quartz kindle]

your child processes should be stateless

you should be able to destroy and restart them as you wish

unless specific children can only do specific jobs

[neat ingot]

how many bot instances are you running and what is your average resource usage? if you know off hand 🙂

[spark flint]

It’s a rewrite which isn’t completed yet so idk yet
