Suggestion:

Smooch Dylan to show gratefulness

[wooden ember]

what sort of audio streams does discord accept? cuz like i found a package that gets audio from a usb device but i can only get the samples and idk how to get that to discord

[round cove]

👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨

[slender thistle]

Yee haw

[wooden ember]

or is there just a way to convert the samples into an audio stream

[rigid maple]

When I send a request here, I get a 404 page not found error.

[round cove]

Show your request (hide the secrets obviously)

[rigid maple]

I opened it from the browser 😃

[round cove]

Why are you opening it in the browser?

You're supposed to make a request with it.

[rigid maple]

oh I take it

thanks

[fervent moss]

How do I map, this array to like a msg like
User id votes

1. User.id#1 9
2. User.id#2 10

Somewhat this in this above way

It's a object which is converted to array

[boreal iron]

you loop your array and fetch the user IDs then print it

the sort order seems to be right

use a for loop and an index to have this #place in front of the user

for(let i = 1; i < (array.length + 1); i++) ...

[lyric mountain]

discord is going too far

[solemn latch]

rip mod bots 👀

the only feature in mod bots that actually make sense is auto mod.
everything else is implemented in discord by default pretty well

[boreal iron]

which makes sense as bots should be there to interact with external sources

[round cove]

This has been out for a few weeks now?

[lyric mountain]

given how "good" discord "features" are, I think mod bots will still have the higher ground over vanilla features

[solemn latch]

it has been in testing I presume

[round cove]

I wonder if being partner gave me that for my server for awhile 🤔

[lyric mountain]

received the notification today

[fervent moss]

Why looping like loop the object or array?

[boreal iron]

wut

[lyric mountain]

peace ☮️✌️

[boreal iron]

I guess mark it and press TAB

works in like any editor I know

except Windows editor

:D

or shift + tab to remove one indentation

[round cove]

for (const index in userVotes) {
  message += `${index + 1}) ${userVotes[index][0]}\t\t${userVotes[index][1]}\n`
}```

Xd

[boreal iron]

that doesn't include his index nr

[round cove]

It does.

[fervent moss]

Ik how to do that ;-;

[boreal iron]

lmao

dirty little boy, I saw that edit

[round cove]

I forgot the +1

[boreal iron]

[round cove]

Is that easier to read?

[boreal iron]

idk

[round cove]

@fervent moss Does this not do what you want or am I confused

[lyric mountain]

I wouldn't trust those \t\t without rightpad btw

[boreal iron]

it's not what he needs

he gotta need to fetch the user IDs

[round cove]

unless you got someone that made their discord account a few months after the app came out it should be fine

But the user IDs are in the arrays?

[lyric mountain]

1) User#1234    10
2) BigNameUser#5678    8
3) Normal#1111    5

[solemn latch]

oh usernames?

[round cove]

Oh lmao I thought for some reason they legit just wanted the user ID

[solemn latch]

yeah me too

[boreal iron]

well u need to detect the user name length in order to get the right TAB count

not really difficult

[lyric mountain]

^

I suppose he wants the tag since he included #

[round cove]

user.id

[solemn latch]

I thought the # was number 1 number 2

I guess we just need clarification

[lyric mountain]

we need disambiguation now

[boreal iron]

are you fucking drunk

[solemn latch]

👀 not yet

[boreal iron]

#development message

that's exactly what he wants

which is what he wrote

[lyric mountain]

but the original request has user.id

and #

[boreal iron]

it also has 1) and 1)

not 1) and 2)

[round cove]

9 is greater than 10

[boreal iron]

quiet!

[round cove]

There's a lot to unpack here

[boreal iron]

[lyric mountain]

Issue closed: request not detailed enough

[solemn latch]

when will discord become github?

gosh

[quartz kindle]

he wants usernames or mentions?

[lyric mountain]

yes

[solemn latch]

or ids

or ids and tag numbers

[quartz kindle]

or nicknames

[boreal iron]

oh no, he's here

RUN

[solemn latch]

nobody knows

[boreal iron]

sheesh nitro users

[lyric mountain]

I wish discord had some kind of github integration that allowed u to open/manage issues from here

[quartz kindle]

i dont have nitro anymore

[lyric mountain]

since bot support servers are quite common now

[boreal iron]

I will remember you had it, forever

it says safe

i wanna trust it

[round cove]

Which one is it

[boreal iron]

[lyric mountain]

don't forget

Not parked

[round cove]

Good

[boreal iron]

i wonder what the content was, probably some shady js

[round cove]

lemmie just execute it for you

[boreal iron]

i cant the domain is blocked in my pihole

:D

too lazy to turn it off

[spark flint]

Oh the domains use clck.ru and Yandex to avoid filters

We’ve tested and even redirect followers don’t work

[boreal iron]

[spark flint]

Oop discord moment

[boreal iron]

pihole moment

[lyric mountain]

blocked by gravity?

[boreal iron]

yes

it's too heavy

[spark flint]

Not sending my image

[fervent moss]

Can you just checkout my code more over given by Tim but the part of msg is pretty much wrong ig-

https://sourceb.in/74dDHFJAS9

[boreal iron]

good thing, yandex is also on the block list lol

[round cove]

given my tim

[fervent moss]

By

Lol

[spark flint]

They abuse the query redirects, so if you visit just the yandex url it takes you to their search engine

But if you come from the clck.ru link takes you to nitro scam

[fervent moss]

Yeah i can be in multiple server right lol jk :)

[boreal iron]

hmm I mean why not, if people fall for it

[spark flint]

They do fall for it sadly

I’m gonna discuss a good solution for following these domains with peopel in the anti fish server

[fervent moss]

Me being noob in d.js i only know advance thing with autocode api which i won't use due to their some limits

But if i can help in autocode well a good

[boreal iron]

if you got a problem with your code, post it in here and ask for tips

make a command

won't be enough

[spark flint]

I’m concerned that you have the bot dev role but don’t know how to add a command

[fervent moss]

Ig listen to some kinda reaction add event of d.js use new date() and get Unix epooch and convert it to timestsmp

If that event exists

D.jd too has event

Then idk shit about python

[boreal iron]

lol I'm aware what a ping command is, lmao

[wheat mesa]

Perhaps you should try this thing called problem solving

[boreal iron]

by coding it yourself

[wheat mesa]

You won’t always have examples of people for everything

[spark flint]

Isn’t it bot.latency

But format it all from there

As it returns a float

[wheat mesa]

You have to at least think of your problem before asking “how do I make an exact replica of this function without any effort on my end?!”

Think about your problem, ask specific questions :p

There you go

Because you just made a function

To my knowledge you’re never calling the function

You probably want to annotate the function with like @bot.command() or whatever it is in python

Which is likely what maps it to respond to !ping

I don’t use python but every bot I’ve seen in python uses some sort of annotation like that above their commands, so that’s probably why yours isn’t working

[fervent moss]

Am I doing something wrong or i am whole wrong 😕

[wheat mesa]

What are you doing with for(const a[1] of …)

[lyric mountain]

when you're so rooted in java that you start using annotations everywhere

[wheat mesa]

Lol

[boreal iron]

you had the chance to get some free java exorcism

[wheat mesa]

I find that Java annotations are annoying simply because it’s difficult to get much use out of them without using unsafe reflection

But when you get them figured out they’re nice metadata

[fervent moss]

I don't have any idea what to do...

I just did what dylan told me to do ;-;

[wheat mesa]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/for...in

It might help to learn more javascript before hopping into using stuff like this, just saying

[boreal iron]

people try to move you into the right direction with examples, they don't write your code and share it for free to you

[wheat mesa]

Tim is the wizard of js, most things you get from him will be wildly efficient but also confusing if you don’t know what you’re doing

[boreal iron]

Tim is the wizard

yes

[wheat mesa]

Fake are you proud of me, I haven’t touched Java in like 3 weeks

[lyric mountain]

ever saw aspectj waffle?

[wheat mesa]

Nope

[lyric mountain]

it basically adds AOP to java

[boreal iron]

I can't be any longer since I know you touched it

WITHOUT somebody pointing a gun at your head

[lyric mountain]

I use it only for measuring method execution time atm, but there are a ton of uses to it

[wheat mesa]

I’m moving on to rust now

Actually I guess the Java thing was a lie

[boreal iron]

i don't like it's horrible syntax

[wheat mesa]

I used it for something small a couple days ago

The syntax can be odd at times but I think it’s a very fair trade off for the power it provides

My biggest complaint is the parenthesis being optional on ifs and fors and etc

[boreal iron]

fake will ever stick with php, he's too old to learn new tricks

[wheat mesa]

https://youtu.be/PuMXWc0xrK0 thought this was a very good video about rust

Sorry for the embed idk how to get rid of it on mobile

[fervent moss]

So wat should I use for property in variable hi ?

[radiant kraken]

wdym isn't that good

it's like python

[wheat mesa]

It just looks weird to me

I don’t like python

[radiant kraken]

you will get used to it

[boreal iron]

my gosh... dude it's way too hot to listen to videos atm

[radiant kraken]

plus it looks cleaner imo

[wheat mesa]

I’ve been getting used to rust

My lexer for “rlox” is now complete

The parser/ast is going to take a while though

[radiant kraken]

what's rlox?

[wheat mesa]

The lox specification but interpreted in rust

Lox is a fictional language designed in such a way that it’s relatively easy to parse and lex without too much lookahead

[radiant kraken]

what does it's syntax look like

[wheat mesa]

It’s kinda like a js clone

https://craftinginterpreters.com/appendix-i.html

[lyric mountain]

RustScript?

[wheat mesa]

https://craftinginterpreters.com/the-lox-language.html

[radiant kraken]

i'm currently thinking of rewriting my compiler from C to Rust

sadly idk how i would turn the AST into an executable though

[wheat mesa]

Rust has LLVM crates I believe

You could write it with that and get an optimized executable

[radiant kraken]

huh

[wheat mesa]

Actually wait I’m stupid

I haven’t actually gotten around to using LLVM but I know that you can turn an AST into optimized and JIT compiled assembly with it

[radiant kraken]

found this https://github.com/Wilfred/bfc

micro optimizers realizing smart pointers add overhead because they're runtime objects

i asked in the rust server for advice on encryption algorithms for my database

i got a wall of text which requires 2 scrolls to read fully

im not saying you need to go outside but you need to go outside

this is basically me when i start talking about my os

[lyric mountain]

just noticed but...

new channel type?

[austere surge]

yes

[split hazel]

yeah they're forums

discords attempt to capitalize

doubt they'll replace standard and old style forums like xenforo and discourse

having them embedded in a chat app just feels wrong

with minimal control too

i sometimes wonder who makes these product and service ideas

they need to hire someone better and pay them more

MARK MY WORDS

they are eventually going to add profile walls where friends can see and comment on other peoples walls

mark my words

it will happen

[austere surge]

it will

Hello guys,

My bot creates 2 channels when inserted, I realized that there should be only a button and some kind of text that should exist when a bot is invited to channel and to create channels via that button, if the channel admin wants it.

Can anyone tell me if I'm right? And should that text and button be on the default channel? If there is no default channel where should it say that? (first textable channel?)

[solemn latch]

I don't think default channels exist anymore(it was removed in 2017).
Honestly, I don't think most users like bots that send a message when its invited anyway. In my personal opinion you should wait to send that message until someone runs a command.

[spark flint]

ok smart question here

how can i fetch the latest X bans with DjS

had a server raided and I need all the user IDs

we have a modlog i can extract from if that helps

[earnest phoenix]

Just fetch the audit logs by ban type and get the latest ones
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/Guild?scrollTo=fetchAuditLogs

[spark flint]

how can you send in threads with djs

[solemn latch]

same as normal.
threadChannel.send()
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/ThreadChannel?scrollTo=send

[fathom sonnet]

can someone explain why i getting this error on this code:

"Cannot access 'channel' before initialization"

[pine nova]

prolly cuz u using variable "const channel = channel.guild.wtv" but u already defined channel in async (channel)

[fathom sonnet]

ahh yea could be

[spark flint]

didn't work

i did manage to scrape my mod logs tho

https://cdn.myprojects.lol/🎄🛒🥗📌🚝.png

then used a webhook to send to a thread

[fathom sonnet]

well, i removed const, and now instead of bot sending name of created channel, it sends name of channel saved to DB where logs are sent

[pine nova]

💀

thats illegal

[fathom sonnet]

IK

xd

xd

[spark flint]

oop wrong copy paste

[pine nova]

u cant have a variable named channel if u already defined it in the callback or wtv u call it

prolly

[spark flint]

https://cdn.myprojects.lol/🍫🐲🧷🥣😨.png

there

[fathom sonnet]

i forgor... you are GOD

[pine nova]

💀

[fathom sonnet]

xd

buuuut, think is...it sends message to...dosent matter

i know the issue

now i need to figure out how to log new role name after it is updated

[solemn latch]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Client?scrollTo=e-roleUpdate
newRole.name

[fathom sonnet]

yep tried, but after that, when i doo ${newRole.name} i got that name is undefined

[solemn latch]

whats the specific error?

or it just returned undefined?

[fathom sonnet]

i got "undefined" while using newRole.name

if i use only newRole, bot will log the messgae but it will log undefined instead of role name

[solemn latch]

name isnt undefined, newRole is
looks like you wrote your event incorrectly

these are the only two parameters, you have three.
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Client?scrollTo=e-roleUpdate

so role = oldRole
oldRole = newRole
newRole = undefined

[fathom sonnet]

huh, now...role is undefined

[solemn latch]

yeah, you now have oldRole and newRole
role doesnt exist

[fathom sonnet]

ah yea, ur right

fixed it, it works, tnx so much

[wheat mesa]

breaks insta TOS, probably not a good idea to ask about that here

because insta does not have a public API

and trying to ask for help on breaking another company's TOS is against discord TOS

[quartz kindle]

im gonna make a website and make a tos that says you cant talk about anything anywhere while the website exists

so you're all breaking my tos just by talking

[spark flint]

lol

https://tosdr.org/

[wheat mesa]

that's messenger

not insta

[solemn latch]

the instagram api?

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api

they have two

[boreal iron]

Eww my gosh

[wheat mesa]

Oh my god crypto!!!1!1!! BatChest

[wheat mesa]

No they cannot

For good reason

Otherwise there would be a shit ton of Instagram dm bots

Can anyone tell me if I'm right? And should that text and button be on the default channel? If there is no default channel where should it say that? (first textable channel?)

P.S. Default channel is "General" (on start)

[slender thistle]

It's rather pointless. Perhaps you want to just show more information about the bot in its "About me" or status

That way users don't get unwanted messages and can see the information on demand that way

[dry imp]

damn sorry couldnt help you, i only know how to make slash commands in notepad and sublime text

[slender thistle]

Are you using any Discord API wrapper right now?

is my vscode drunk rn ?

[radiant kraken]

that happens all the time for me

Forget something

Yeah uhh

If you are that new in python to don't know what you are using please don't make discord bot

Read python guides

no codewars?

[pine nova]

💀

[rose warren]

Thanks for those resources! I pinned your message here.

[fossil bronze]

Hmm analyzing JS memory dumps is kinda hard.

[quartz kindle]

what are you trying to analyze

[fossil bronze]

Well basically I have a memory leak in my bot. Memory used grows over time

After about 1 day it has grown over double

[quartz kindle]

discord.js?

[fossil bronze]

Ye

[quartz kindle]

thats just discord.js being discord.js

[fossil bronze]

I have two heap snapshots, one from fresh start and one from about 24h of running

[fossil bronze]

I have heard this before but...

Does everyone just accept this?

[quartz kindle]

how many guilds and how much ram at start and and end?

[fossil bronze]

1910 guilds, 300MB ish at start and this after 24h heap snapshot is 865MB

[quartz kindle]

does your bot do music?

[fossil bronze]

No

[quartz kindle]

show prints of the snapshots

[fossil bronze]

It does a card game type thing, with sequelize/SQlite, Canvas for graphics, ffmpeg for gifs

[quartz kindle]

do you have an eval command?

[fossil bronze]

Oh nono

Here is the deltas it seems to be arrays of strings mostly

[quartz kindle]

hmm thats a bit unusual for djs, can you expand those arrays?

[fossil bronze]

lots of the same strings like this

Think thats a server name

Well there's 2M something arrays

[quartz kindle]

which version of djs?

[fossil bronze]

13.7.0

I used some version from 2020 for a long time, it also had this problem

[quartz kindle]

well, the memory usage seems a little more than just djs itself would do, but djs is still probably playing a major role in there

have you configured any of the djs cache options?

[fossil bronze]

I have not

I did not know of those haha

[lyric mountain]

since the strings are all equal, shouldn't js treat them like a single reference anyway?

[quartz kindle]

these are what i use on mine basically

const client = new Discord.Client({
    // default caching options, feel free to copy and modify. more info on caching options below.
    makeCache: Discord.Options.cacheWithLimits({
        ApplicationCommandManager: 0, // guild.commands
        BaseGuildEmojiManager: 0, // guild.emojis
        ChannelManager: 0, // client.channels
        GuildChannelManager: 0, // guild.channels
        GuildBanManager: 0, // guild.bans
        GuildInviteManager: 0, // guild.invites
        GuildManager: Infinity, // client.guilds
        GuildMemberManager: 0, // guild.members
        GuildStickerManager: 0, // guild.stickers
        GuildScheduledEventManager: 0, // guild.scheduledEvents
        MessageManager: 0, // channel.messages
        PermissionOverwriteManager: 0, // channel.permissionOverwrites
        PresenceManager: 0, // guild.presences
        ReactionManager: 0, // message.reactions
        ReactionUserManager: 0, // reaction.users
        RoleManager: 0, // guild.roles
        StageInstanceManager: 0, // guild.stageInstances
        ThreadManager: 0, // channel.threads
        ThreadMemberManager: 0, // threadchannel.members
        UserManager: 0, // client.users
        VoiceStateManager: 0 // guild.voiceStates
    }),
    intents: [ /* your intents here */ ],
});

0 means cache is completely disabled

[fossil bronze]

Yes I would think so right? But it seems not, I think?

[quartz kindle]

Infinity (or remove the entry) means the cache is enabled

[fossil bronze]

oooo neat

[quartz kindle]

you will need to tweak that for your needs

for example if you need permissions and stuff, you need to enable roles and stuff

[fossil bronze]

looks like something like 30% of the arrays are empty

There are also many arrays like this

[quartz kindle]

those are normal

[fossil bronze]

I really wish there was some way to group the arrays/strings by content

[earnest phoenix]

Thank you

[lyric mountain]

oh, hey, tcg bot bro!

just noticed the context

[fossil bronze]

hehe

[quartz kindle]

kweeb

[fossil bronze]

I guess i'll just keep using forever, but thanks to everyone that tried to help

[quartz kindle]

also, an eval command would help you debug these kind of issues, for example running process.memoryUsage() can give you further insights

[fossil bronze]

As for the "containment" tab when looking at the memory dumps, There's thousands of CompiledFnEntry

Nothing else takes up much space

Makes me think its this unfixxed node bug maybe

https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/42080

[quartz kindle]

you dont use vm tho, do you?

[fossil bronze]

I do not but it's CompiledFnEntry

Some dependancy is likely to

Oh I did require vm at some point

But not use it

[quartz kindle]

hmm

well try the djs caching options and see how it goes

[fossil bronze]

Ye I am thanks for that c:

Isnt this weird

[quartz kindle]

thats probably rss

which can be two things: c++ memory that js cant see (sqlite, canvas, ffmpeg) or memory fragmentation by the system allocator

[fossil bronze]

Ah...ha..

This is unfortunate, seems it has grown more

[lyric mountain]

wherever it's calling that command, it's supplying 2 arguments but you require 3

where do u call the command?

[idle coral]

You see, I self taught myself picking things up here and there over the course of 5 years.

That's how I learned py.

So I don't know what calling the command means, so if u could dumb it down for me...

[lyric mountain]

crypto_stonk(some, thing)

and what you did wasn't learning but copypasting

[idle coral]

I originally did yes, copy and paste.

But I do now type code myself.

Yet when I do, I always make a mistake, and screw it up.

[idle coral]

So that I assume is the command calling.

[lyric mountain]

you should take some courses to learn the basics of programming then (not in the sense of "easy and noob stuff" but "coding fundamentals")

[lyric mountain]

what you showed is the command declaration, you probably have another place where you call that function

[idle coral]

I've tried that twice, wasn't my thing. But those were after school like code camp stuff. So I may do a course for py in college though.

I still have a while to go, deciding what I want to do with my life. Only 14.

[lyric mountain]

I didn't mention py tho

like, you might know how to write, but there are valuable knowledge regarding programming itself that you need to have to be able to progress as a programmer

not necessarily learning through courses, you can do some tutorials, read some books, delve into documentations, you call it

[ancient nova]

can you send a message to a user based on their ID only?

I know you can message them from the guild or channel endpoint

I wonder if you can do it by user ID only

it should right?

[wheat mesa]

I believe you'd have to fetch the user object with their ID

[ancient nova]

client.users.cache.get('<id>').send('<message>');
``` like this?

[wheat mesa]

No

That's cache

Fetch

[ancient nova]

client.users.fetch('<id>').send('<message>');
``` this?

[wheat mesa]

Yes

fetch returns a promise though, you need to await it first

[ancient nova]

great

my bot still crashes after updating to v13.7

^ if my bot gets added to a guild

[earnest phoenix]

The latest version is v13.8, the lower versions are known to crash when the Text-in-Voice feature is used, or some other features

[ancient nova]

maybe I haven't updated properly

I changed the package.json file's discord version to ^13.7 it and ran npm i it should've at least fixed the guild fetching bug didn't it

[wheat mesa]

why not use npm to update it

[near stratus]

npm i discord.js@13.8

[lyric mountain]

discovered railgun operator is a thing (not called like that but fck it, it looks like a railgun)

[wheat mesa]

lol

[quartz kindle]

=?

cant understand that font style

[lyric mountain]

ye

same as bits = bits >> n, which is kinda useful ngl

careful with dm commands

[quartz kindle]

ye i use it sometimes

get the user id from the mention, create a new dm channel with that user, send message to that user

then you did it wrong

[lyric mountain]

it's against tos unless the receiver opts-in to receive DM messages from anyone

you still need to add an opt-out feature

allow people to choose not to receive dms

[quartz kindle]

any error?

[lyric mountain]

look at the last 2 characters

``

that's a syntax error

[quartz kindle]

when you show errors you have to show the full error including all lines

but yes, remove that

thats your full code or only that command?

any error?

then thats why

if you have errors just say so, no need to wait until someone asks if you have one

make_embed does not exist

it should be discord.Embed

again... errors?

did you login with bot or with client?

no

[ancient nova]

(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)```

[quartz kindle]

where you login

[ancient nova]

what is this?

[proven lantern]

what type of license should i add to my bot if i open source it? i want people to be able to make their own clones, but not be able to sell it or derived stuff

[quartz kindle]

where you do .run()

so you logged in with client

but you defined the command with bot

yes

[ancient nova]

(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)``` wut is this

I never passed a string to setAuthor I don't even use that

I use setTitle

[quartz kindle]

something like AGPL maybe

again... any errors? also discord.Embed has a capital E

[ancient nova]

hello?

[fathom sonnet]

question: How can i solve this Error:

const { QueryType } = require('discord-player')

[lyric mountain]

I use GPL v3

you want to clone my bot? sure

just dont try to sell it or make it closed source

[quartz kindle]

GPL doesnt protect from server usage tho, which is covered only by AGPL

[lyric mountain]

server usage?

[quartz kindle]

ie buiding a webservice and selling subscriptions/access

[ancient nova]

can anyone tell me where tf that deprecation warning came from pelase

[quartz kindle]

Use node --trace-deprecation ... to show where the warning was created

[ancient nova]

I can't, once I start the bot I can't use the CLI

[proven lantern]

do you just put a license.txt in the github repo and it's enforced?

[lyric mountain]

LICENSE.md

https://github.com/OtagamerZ/ShiroJBot/blob/master/LICENSE.md

then add a header on all your files

[proven lantern]

noice

thanks

[lyric mountain]

like this

if ur using jetbrains IDEs they have an auto-notice feature where it adds those headers automatically

[ancient nova]

executed it using child_process

still nothing

[proven lantern]

thanks!

[proven lantern]

license stuff is tricky. should i use AGPL for my backend code and GPL for the frontend code?

[quartz kindle]

basically yeah

GPL only protects code that is distributed to clients

doesnt protect code that says in servers

[wheat mesa]

So if anyone here is good with physics (my knowledge is... not amazing), I'm not quite sure why but for some reason the velocity here keeps increasing, when it should go down, and bounce up to the same exact spot it was at, right? ```rs
fn update(&mut self, dt: f32) {
self.position = calc_position(&self.velocity, &self.position, dt);
self.velocity = calc_velocity(&self.velocity, &Acceleration::new(0.0, 350.0), dt);
self.check_collision(self.collide.clone());
}
// Different file
#[inline]
pub fn calc_position(velocity: &Velocity, position: &Point, dt: f32) -> Point {
Point::new(
(position.x as f32 + velocity.x * dt) as i32,
(position.y as f32 + velocity.y * dt) as i32,
)
}

#[inline]
pub fn calc_velocity(velocity: &Velocity, a: &Acceleration, dt: f32) -> Velocity {
Velocity::new(velocity.x + a.x * dt, velocity.y + a.y * dt)
}

[proven lantern]

good thing my frontend and backend codebases are separate

[wheat mesa]

(All my check_collision function does is reverse the velocity vector when it detects a collision in the bounding box)

[proven lantern]

is this for unreal engine?

[wheat mesa]

No

This is just SDL2 with Rust

My own engine I guess you could call it

[proven lantern]

nice

could it be int overflow?

[wheat mesa]

No

The values are way too small for that

Not to mention it would probably have a lot worse behavior than this: https://gyazo.com/431811388fc78f11a60c3d2f0de6696e

[proven lantern]

is there deceleration applied ever?

[wheat mesa]

No but in theory this should be a perfectly elastic collision

Since the sign change of the velocity and the acceleration should cancel each other out at the same spot it started at

[proven lantern]

if there is gravity, but only when you fall then that will happen

[wheat mesa]

It's not meant to be an accurate simulation yet, it's just meant to have a perfectly elastic collision where all kinetic energy is preserved

[proven lantern]

actually i see it slow down a bit

[lyric mountain]

do note, btw, gpl is viral

that means u should only use it when u want to preserve your work as open-source

so by no means use it for libraries or other linkable code

[proven lantern]

i see

[lyric mountain]

like, my bot is licensed under gpl because I do not want people to make it closed source

[proven lantern]

if i wanted to make it closed source or sell it later can i still do that?

[quartz kindle]

you can dual license

GPL for free version, professional license for paid version

[pine nova]

💀

[lyric mountain]

you as the original owner can change the license whenever u want

but previous versions wont be affected by the new license

[proven lantern]

that makes sense. that's what amazon did to elastic

[fathom sonnet]

btw, anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

[lyric mountain]

client.player is undefined

[fathom sonnet]

ouu. tnx

i think i got iždea on how to fix it

[ancient nova]

what's the most unique bot a person can come up with?

[wheat mesa]

A bot that nobody here can come up with except for you because then it wouldn’t be unique

[solemn latch]

Refresh tokens don't expire right?
Only if the user deauthorizes

[lyric mountain]

no idea

but I never saw discord logging out after a long period without entering

so I guess they don't

[solemn latch]

Discord only provides an expiration for access tokens, so I guess it doesn't expire refresh tokens.

[lyric mountain]

that's what I'm saying

if they did expire, discord (browser) would log u out after a long period without accessing the site

[solemn latch]

Yeah thanks. Just needed a sanity check

[split hazel]

can someone do me a favour and open up a node.js repl in their computer and run this

const s = Date.now();
crypto.createDiffieHellman(2048, 2);
Date.now() - s

its taking a very long time to generate a 2048 bit RSA key on my laptop

like 30 seconds

[eternal osprey]

hey guys, does anyone know or have json data that contains countries and their 2 letter code?

like {"australia" : "ac}

[split hazel]

actually its sped up to 10 seconds so its probably because of a cold start but still 10 seconds is quite long

[woeful pike]

took 1 second for me

[split hazel]

💀

[woeful pike]

oh no I see it's taking a long ass time for me too now

about 10 seconds yeah

[split hazel]

its very odd

its a standard 2048 RSA key it should take around 1-2 seconds

[woeful pike]

craaaawling iiiiin my skiiiin

node.js moment

[split hazel]

hm could it be because its using the operating systems entropy (dev/random) and thats why its slow?

a key with a length of 1024 is very quick to generate

[woeful pike]

I can't imagine why the timings would vary to this degree

[wheat mesa]

Probably node stuff, you’d probably need an actual benchmarking environment for accurate results

Running two identical loops one after another gave me drastically different results in node

[woeful pike]

yeah but those often vary to the scale of microseconds

[split hazel]

i tried generating it in a c++ program with openssl and its taking a similar amount of time so i dont think its isolated to node

and node uses openssl so it adds up

[woeful pike]

I was just about to test it there

[split hazel]

i'll probably use an algorithm thats faster and more secure soon

but if the generation was really that slow we'd prob be waiting that long for a website to load

[woeful pike]

how are you generating it in openssl?

openssl genrsa 2048 takes <0.3s for me

though I don't think that's the right command

[split hazel]

thats something else

im doing it in c

but yeah it doesnt seem the rsa algorithm is fucked

but rather the implementation of the diffie hellman in openssl

[lyric mountain]

There's a gov site for that

https://restcountries.com/

Or this

[ancient nova]

I have no ideas for commands though

can you give me an idea : )

though any command you can think of I probably made

[solemn latch]

tbh, so many unique bot ideas come through developer channels but no one notices it could be a bot.

[wheat mesa]

True

Some ideas are just too ambitious though

Gotta have a good balance between feasibility and usefulness

Personally I barely use bots other than maybe esmbot once in a while (which btw was a fantastic bot idea, it’s just kind of unreliable sometimes)

[solemn latch]

I also don't really use bots.

[eternal shoal]

@solemn latch Hello goodnight! My bot was rejected because it is offline but it was due to a quick host drop, it is already online. How do I do now? Do I have to resubmit and wait up to 2 weeks?

[quartz kindle]

unfortunately yes, thats how it works

[eternal shoal]

Ok

[radiant kraken]

why do you have to clone tho

[wheat mesa]

I had a bad design and I was cloning simply because I was lazy and didn't want to fix it, just wanted to get the math working first

I got the math working now

[wheat mesa]

In reality all the collision checks are going to be done in the main loop where I can keep track of all of the objects being rendered and their positions

[feral aspen]

Is there a better way to handle result? https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/33oJqIBCIM

[green kestrel]

hmm, might be moving to "large bot" sharding by next week

im only 450 servers away

[split hazel]

what is it again

[split hazel]

does it even have boundaries

[green kestrel]

149500 ish

just added shards, decided to stay with 18 clusters

[split hazel]

that dashboard is so sweaty

[green kestrel]

sweaty? lol

[split hazel]

very op

[green kestrel]

next addition of shards is at 300,000 guilds

somehow i doubt i'll reach that for many years

but time will tell - discord's app directory rolls out soon

[rose warren]

I'm personally not expecting much from the app directory

If it's anything like server discovery I don't expect to see much from it

[fathom sonnet]

Idk... You can make news bot, to post like TOP News from some websites like CNN, BBC etc... They have, as I know, "unofficial" APIs that can be used

You could make compiler maybe

[dry imp]

who read news

[fathom sonnet]

People...

[dry imp]

oh shit i am not people 😱

[vivid fulcrum]

news bots are practically useless

nobody goes on discord for their news

apple and google already do a good job at providing you with news with a swipe

i can see it being useful if you're targeting a specific blog though

[spark flint]

maybe a bot that lets you listen to an RSS feed

[vivid fulcrum]

this

before creating a bot you need to know which audience you're targeting if you want success

[feral aspen]

What exactly is the difference between clusters and shards?

[vivid fulcrum]

then proceed to analyze your competition, what are pros and cons of your product and how you can win over the audience from your competitors

this is the reason why 90% of generic bots end up in failure, "a bot for everyone" just means you don't know which audience you want to target

rythm was insanely successful because they focused on music only

they took what their competitors had (dyno and mee6 mostly) and improved it by a margin

people fail to understand that successful bots are a business and should be treated as such

learned from my own mistakes 🥲 👍

[vivid fulcrum]

iirc clusters are a collection of shards

you can implement them in various ways

usually a cluster is n amount of shards in one process

this improves performance by a tremendous amount because, let's say instead of one process processing gateway events from 25 connections, you can split it into one process per 5 connections

[green kestrel]

exactly what I did

and I continue to incrementally improve

now I'm ahead gotta stay ahead

speaking of

update to latest dpp is looking great

per cluster CPU usage has halved

[vivid fulcrum]

damn that's nice, did you make a full switch to your own lib?

oh also, im super interested in how you handle caching on such a large scale

[green kestrel]

I switched a year ago, this was a major version upgrade

I cache guilds, roles, channels in ram, users, membership in SQL

and synchronise roles, guilds and channels to SQL in real time one way for use by the dashboard

the bot relies on the "resolved" users and guild members from the slash command to cut down on need for cache

until today I was stuck on DPP 9

which uses api v9 and doesn't have some threading optimisations

7 months behind lol

but I had such good uptime didn't want to update till I had to

[vivid fulcrum]

interesting approach with sql, is it an in-memory storage or is it traditional?

im guessing by offloading to sql you don't experience bottlenecks either

i might mock a huge amount of entities to simulate stress an actual bot would experience just to see how far i can get with optimization

never got the chance to play around with optimizing large projects like that

[green kestrel]

it's a combination of memory and innodb tables

stuff that I don't mind if it gets wiped when the server reboots, is memory tables

like some command rate limits

and i did get some bottlenecks

each cluster only had two sql connections back in the old days, and they had to execute syncronously, so the sql thread would be the bottleneck... newer versions have a threadpool of sql connections, and round robin requests amongst the threads that arent busy as queries come in

within reason, its faster, but theres a limit to how many idle threads you can spawn, as mysql has limits on number of concurrent connections, normally 60-something, i had to raise it

i host my own mysql instance, here are the stats

startup was 490 days ago

so thats 2.4 billion queries per 1.2 years

[split hazel]

isnt innodb obsolete

oh thats myisam

[green kestrel]

yeah myisam is a joke lol

[split hazel]

thats quite healthy

does phpmyadmin scream at you for anything?

the warnings

[green kestrel]

nope

i tuned the server lol

[split hazel]

when i still ran the bot phpmyadmin would be full of warnings lol

im not an expert at tuning mysql

[green kestrel]

what kind of warnings?

[split hazel]

i forgot i'll try find them i think i posted them somewhere

i know one of them were connections that werent closed properly because the clusters crashed often because of a poor choice to use a clustering solution that was no longer maintained

@quartz kindle you know which one im talking about

i think another one was that tables keep being reopened which costs io

it advised to increase cache or something and i did but it didnt seem to fix it

[green kestrel]

nice, nearly 6tb

[split hazel]

80 days? rookie numbers i had one run for a year

[green kestrel]

it auto updates

you mean you ran one for a year and didnt apply security patches to it?

[split hazel]

wont lie i usually leave things running and rarely update them

well if an update pops up on sudo apt update then yeah but thats about it

[green kestrel]

you should run unattended-upgrades

[wooden ember]

bruh i got a voip server that been running fedora 8 for the last 15 years

[split hazel]

if there is a security vulnerability burning through the news then i'll probably go out of my way to update

[green kestrel]

it does important non-breaking security upgrades for you

[split hazel]

never knew that existed

[green kestrel]

you do now 🙂

[wooden ember]

that is actually pretty cool

[green kestrel]

it wont reboot for kernel upgrades tho

it will email you and you have to do that yourself

i mean its not windows

[split hazel]

email? 😂

[wooden ember]

also anyone know how to make node project run at boot? used to have everything working fine on centos through cron but now the shell script runs but never starts the projects

[split hazel]

god i forget how old some technology is

[wheat mesa]

pm2

[green kestrel]

yeah, a linux server has internal email, with each user having a mailbox

when you log in, it'll go ' you have mail'

even if you arent running an smtp daemon iirc this works

[wooden ember]

is that something i gotta install

[wheat mesa]

Yes

[wooden ember]

bruh

i just want to know why i cant get it to run from a shell script

[wheat mesa]

Not exactly easy to run something on startup without fucking around with settings, pm2 takes like 5 minutes to set up

[green kestrel]

yes for node, npm install pm2 iirc, but for anything else, crontab is enough

add an @reboot line to crontab

[wooden ember]

did that

the shell script runs cuz it beeps the bios speaker

but there are no screen sessions started

[green kestrel]

imagine having a bios speaker

[wheat mesa]

Well if you ever can’t figure that out (I have never used crontab), pm2 is a really easy option for running node projects

[green kestrel]

when is this, 1983?

[wooden ember]

i mean i like having a bios buzzer

cuz its usefull

means i know boot is successful and i can also beep it from shell scripts too so i know their status without having a monitor attached

[green kestrel]

if you got something that has gpio pins like an ardruino or an rpi, you can plug a buzzer to the pins

or a piezo speaker

and then control that from software

😄

[wooden ember]

why would i do that?

[quartz kindle]

install jarvis

[wooden ember]

is there really no way to get it just to run from the shell script?

it works if i run it manually but just never starts the screen sessions when run from chron

i just want to keep things simple

[quartz kindle]

add it as a service on systemd?

[green kestrel]

if you want to start screen from cron do this

@reboot cd /path/to/bot && screen -dmS botname ./startbot.sh

where startbot.sh is a script that boots your bot

-S names the session so you can attach it later with botname as the name

-dm runs it detached

i start my entire bot that way and all its helper processes

[wheat mesa]

By using a shell script, I think you’re making things more complicated lol

[wooden ember]

the original reason behind the shell script was to make it halt untill there was network

but now im using ubuntu it just doesnt boot untol there is network i think

I'll try putting the command directly in the cron file

and see if that works

[green kestrel]

heres part of my crontab

# Start bot clusters on reboot
@reboot         cd /home/trivia/triviabot && ./start.sh

# Queue processes, started on reboot
@reboot         cd /var/www/vhosts/triviabot.co.uk && screen -dmS rolequeue /usr/bin/php rolequeue.php
@reboot         cd /var/www/vhosts/triviabot.co.uk && screen -dmS dmqueue /usr/bin/php dmqueue.php
@reboot         cd /var/www/vhosts/triviabot.co.uk && screen -dmS premium-role /usr/bin/php premium-role.php
@reboot         cd /var/www/vhosts/triviabot.co.uk && screen -dmS translation /usr/bin/php translatedb.php
@reboot         cd /var/www/vhosts/triviabot.co.uk && screen -dmS welcome /usr/bin/php welcome.php

the php scripts do background dashboard stuff

or long running batch things i dont want in the bot process

like, assigning the role to premium subscribers on my support server when they join

[wooden ember]

mmm interesting

didnt think you could put /path/to/whatever/ into screen

[green kestrel]

you can if you put cd on the start

its just passed to sh after all

threres a cd command first, then && to tell it to only run screen if cd succeeds

[wooden ember]

fair enough

[green kestrel]

also crontab MAY run these tasks asyncronously

theres no guarantee that the third entry you put in crontab runs after the second if they both have the same start time or are all @reboot

[wooden ember]

its async

[green kestrel]

this is why my bot boots via a scrip called start.sh

[split hazel]

would be a shame if someone made a request to /vendor/phpunit/phpunit/src/Util/PHP/eval-stdin.php

[wooden ember]

on my other server i use sleep 10 && command or somthing to order them

[green kestrel]

this way i can be sure that clusters and shards start syncronously

[green kestrel]

yeah that would be unfortunate, especially if i was using php unit 😄

you nit

[split hazel]

someone tried running that exploit on my server while i was testing a website in dev mode so it popped up in logs

[green kestrel]

😄

hmmmm

[split hazel]

looked like an automatic bot

[green kestrel]

i might make a file on that path now

i love making honeypots like that

[split hazel]

it tried a bunch of different exploits

such as also accessing .dsstore

[green kestrel]

will make a file in that exact location, and put in it echo "bzzt wrong answer fool" 😄

[split hazel]

thats a nice easter egg

[green kestrel]

i used to do that sort of thing all the time

actually, bad idea irl

because it causes issues with PCI scans

they dont see the funny side

"it answered! YOURE VULNERABLE!"

[wooden ember]

"uh uh uh, you didnt use the magic word."

or however the jurasic park thing went

[green kestrel]

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-ah-you-didnt-say-the-magic-word-say-please-gif-9628120

that!

[wooden ember]

there we go

[split hazel]

i also constantly see bots scanning random ips to index the web or whatever

thinking about it such a bot isnt too difficult

ipv4 only has about 4 billion combinations

you can scour every ip in not a very long time

[green kestrel]

these days sure

[split hazel]

ipv6 is still in its infancy and not many people use it

[wheat mesa]

eh, that's a LOT of data to scour over

[green kestrel]

especially as there are lists of null routed subnets, some really large, that you can exclude from the scan

[split hazel]

that is if your ISP even supports it

[green kestrel]

used to be that scannin the whole ipv4 space was impossible because peoples internet was too slow

not any more

[wheat mesa]

my ISP didn't even give me a public ipv4

Defaults to ipv6 only

[green kestrel]

ipv6 only?

[wheat mesa]

Yeah

[green kestrel]

thats futuristic

[wheat mesa]

It's unfortunate, not futuristic

[green kestrel]

we cant even get our isp to give us an ipv6 tunnel, had to get one from tunnelbroker

[wheat mesa]

I can't host a minecraft server because it doesn't support ipv6 :C

[green kestrel]

that sucks, fix minecraft

ipv6 is the future

[wheat mesa]

lol

they'll change it eventually

[green kestrel]

discord should support v6 too

[rustic nova]

thing is, most services still rely on ipv4

[green kestrel]

they dont atm

[split hazel]

its a good thing for you that cloudflare automatically proxies ipv6 to ipv4 if the server doesnt support it

[wheat mesa]

most things allow you to connect with an ipv6 connection but some services don't allow you to host things on ipv6

namely minecraft

[wooden ember]

i got a mate that has a scanner doing that

takes about 30 minutes to scan the entire web

he logs mc servers

[rustic nova]

though iirc from my workplace, isnt there a arpa thing or smth to translate ipv6 into a domain that then allows connecting?

[split hazel]

yeah really doesnt take long and its a little worrying

[green kestrel]

reverse dns?

[rustic nova]

lemme find it, I somewhat remember something like that

or was a local microsoft thing

yeah reverse dns

ip6.arpa

[wheat mesa]

someone showed me vcpkg last night, my god I'm in love with it

[wooden ember]

yup people do it all the time looking to badly secures routers servers and vounrablt stuff

[green kestrel]

vcpkg isnt the best

its just "ok"

[wheat mesa]

it's much better than compiling a 13 year old C library in VS22

[wooden ember]

there are people that try to spam my voip server with numbers trying to get free calls but the never get through

[wheat mesa]

the commits for that lib

lmao

[rustic nova]

lmaoo

[wheat mesa]

I had to modify the source code for it to compile

Basically just commented out 15 lines that were causing naming conflicts

Got lucky that nothing depended on that code

[green kestrel]

lol what is that

which lib

[wheat mesa]

Then I compiled it, but it didn't work with rust because I had only compiled for x86 and not x64

SDL_gfx

So after that 2 hour headache, I just used vcpkg to compile and build the 64 bit version automatically and it took me literally 5 minutes

Time to refactor my physics engine to actually be structured properly now that I know my math works

[green kestrel]

when you gonna make a C++ discord bot with DPP, waffle? 😄

[wheat mesa]

I actually made a tiny bot with DPP, couldn't manage to get it compiled for my VPS and didn't really have a use for it, so I just trashed it pretty much

But I've turned away from the DAPI unless I get a really good idea

[split hazel]

i need to properly get back to discord bot dev

[wheat mesa]

Currently I'm doing a physics engine with rust and sdl2

[split hazel]

probably not make my own thats too much work but join someone elses team

[wheat mesa]

discord bots are pretty easy to make tbh

[split hazel]

managing it at scale tho

takes some time

[wheat mesa]

going back to ts after doing low level stuff feels like a breeze

[split hazel]

its amazing how many bugs crop up at scale you otherwise would never see in a dev build

[wheat mesa]

hmmmm... how would I structure this properly, seems scuffed to enforce get_position and such, but I'm going to need to detect all collisions in the main loop

pub trait Renderable {
    fn render(&self, canvas: &mut Canvas<Window>) -> Result<(), String>;
    fn update(&mut self, dt: f32) -> Result<(), String>;
    fn get_position(&self) -> Position;
    fn get_width(&self) -> u32;
    fn get_height(&self) -> u32;
}

I think I need to store them differently instead of a boxed trait ```rs
pub struct Simulator<'a> {
width: u32,
height: u32,
fps: u32,
components: Vec<Box<dyn Renderable>>,
ctx: &'a Sdl,
canvas: Canvas<Window>,
}

[split hazel]

just want to share something here about my workplace

so i work in a supermarket right and the server room is in the management office but the thing is the door to the server room is always open and the room is positioned away from everyone in the office and its not unusual to walk into the office as a normal employee

i can literally go in there unplug a single usb or plug something in and bring the entire store down

now if that isnt negligence

[wheat mesa]

imagine having a workplace

[split hazel]

rust programmers dont work

[wheat mesa]

I'm trying to compensate for not having a job by learning as much as I can over my summer break

[green kestrel]

ive yet to meet someone employed as a rust dev

in an actual real job, for a company

[wheat mesa]

Also I think I've devised a solution ```rs
struct GameObject<T: Renderable + ?Sized> {
object: Box<T>,
properties: SomePropertiesStruct
}

struct Simulator {
// props
objects: Vec<GameObject<dyn Renderable>>
}

[green kestrel]

i heard discord has some

[wheat mesa]

I've seen a lot of rust stuff on linkedin and indeed and stuff like that

[green kestrel]

but theyre expected to know python and elixir too

[wheat mesa]

By the time I graduate college there's gonna be a lot more rust jobs available most likely

[green kestrel]

i start a new job in 2 weeks

[wheat mesa]

Still have 5 years until I graduate college though, plenty of time to master rust

[green kestrel]

if youre lucky, rust will have matured by then, and wont suffer the fate of other 'trendy upstarts' like ruby

abandoned for the next hot thing

[wheat mesa]

I think rust is going to overtake many new projects over C/C++

[green kestrel]

it depends

i think its viable for new projects

[wheat mesa]

It'll never replace c or c++, but it'll certainly become favored over them for some projects

[split hazel]

lmao

they're too busy in the rust server telling people what they just coded is bad practice or unsafe

[green kestrel]

but rust has an awful lerning curve for newcomers

[wheat mesa]

I started rust about 2 weeks ago

[green kestrel]

it means its userbase is going to be smaller

[wheat mesa]

It's not too difficult so far, there's just some stuff you have to think about differently

[green kestrel]

you can become a mediocre C++ programmer in a year or so, and increment your skills over time

rust doesnt allow for the concept of a mediocre coder

you have to be an expert or the compiler spits you out

[wheat mesa]

Rust is sorta like "do it right or don't do it at all"

[green kestrel]

problem is, people dont start out as experts 😄

[wheat mesa]

I'm still a beginner and I made a little recursive descent parser and interpreter for math expressions in rust, I think it's pretty intuitive as long as you have previous experience

You certainly would NOT want rust as your first language though

That'll be guaranteed to burn you out

And the rust community server has been extremely helpful and friendly in the process

They're surprisingly active in there

[split hazel]

too friendly and active

just dont dwell down to the more specialized areas of the server

thats where it stops

[wheat mesa]

totally not me in the games and graphics channel

[split hazel]

im more recently vibing in the cryptography channel

i dont use rust anymore but the advice there is still helpful

[wheat mesa]

fuck I forgot that my renderables need to have access to their own properties

time to rethink again

I could change my trait to give the properties to the update and render functions I guess

but that sounds like it'll run into borrow checker issues

oh wait

[wheat mesa]

I think I could do something like ```rs
pub struct GameObject<T> {
object: Box<T>,
properties: GameObjectProperties
}

impl Renderable for GameObject<ComponentName> {
// stuff
}

Oh yeah that would totally work if I can get the vector to work

[split hazel]

worst things to happen

1. red text on a terminal
2. poop splash

[wheat mesa]

we do a little traiting ```rs
pub struct Simulator<'a> {
width: u32,
height: u32,
fps: u32,
components: Vec<Box<dyn GameObject>>,
ctx: &'a Sdl,
canvas: Canvas<Window>,
}

trait GameObjectProperties {
fn properties(&self) -> &GameObjectData;
fn properties_mut(&self) -> &mut GameObjectData;
}

trait GameObject: GameObjectProperties + Renderable {}

struct GameObjectData {
center: Position,
width: u32,
height: u32,
}

impl<T> GameObject for T where T: GameObjectProperties + Renderable {}

impl GameObjectProperties for HollowBox {
fn properties(&self) -> &GameObjectData {
todo!()
}

fn properties_mut(&self) -> &mut GameObjectData {
    todo!()
}

}

I think this is going to work

[quartz kindle]

its going to work if you rename all your stuff to Gayme instead of Game

[vivid fulcrum]

is that rust

i keep on saying I'll learn it but never get to it

right now it looks like cpp but gibberish to me 🥲

[wheat mesa]

yeah that's rust

it's actually pretty nice, I just think that the trait GameObject: GameObjectProperties + Renderable is annoying, because I have to do two impl blocks for each of those traits instead of just being able to do ```rs
impl GameObject for SomeComponent {
// Force you to implement Renderable and GameObjectProperties functions
}

// INSTEAD I have to do
impl Renderable for SomeComponent {
// ...
}

impl GameObjectProperties for SomeComponent {
// ...
}

Quick Question: So I have string option in my slash command which is used to enter url of the song you want to bot to play.

my question is: can I check if the content inside dosent start with an youtube url, bcz bot is playing music from the youtube?

I tought that I could do something like: ```js

const url = interaction.options.getString("url")

if(!url.startsWith("https://youtube.com/")) {
interaction.reply("You need to provide valid YT URL in order to play the music")
}
els {
// Do Something Else
}

[ivory dove]

How can I setup a vote webhook in my bot?

[quartz kindle]

yes you can do that

[split hazel]

music bot in 2022: 💀

[wooden ember]

bruh i just made my bot play sound comming fromt he mic jack of my server

discord live radio station

[wooden ember]

indeed

trying to get my software defined radio to go over discord but there isnt any way to get the audio directly from what i can work out

but i can get it to play from the radio out the headphone jack and then i can plug that into the mic jack

and that works

i know its a bit of a redneck solution but it works

[wheat mesa]

you could do that or you could use regex, regex is probably better for this because there's a few different forms that youtube links can come in

[wooden ember]

something like thisif (url.match(/^(https?:\/\/)?(www\.)?(m\.)?(youtube\.com|youtu\.?be)\/.+$/gi))

[wheat mesa]

As much as I hate regex, this is definitely a valid use for it

[ivory dove]

?

[wheat mesa]

Mine was if(url.match('^(http(s)?://)?((w){3}.)?youtu(be|.be)?(.com)?/.+'))

[wooden ember]

idk i just used that cuz it was on some code i "borrowed" a while ago

it works as far as i know though

[wheat mesa]

same

[wooden ember]

hahaha

[radiant kraken]

what about this ^(https?:\/\/)?(www\.)?youtu\.?be(\.com)?\/.+

[wheat mesa]

no idea, just stole that regex off the internet somewhere a long time ago

[fathom sonnet]

i mean...this is what I have: ```js
if(!url.startsWith('https://youtube.com/watch?v=') || !url.startsWith('https://youtu.be/')) {
return interaction.reply('You need to provide a valid YouTube URL')
}

[wheat mesa]

your logic is incorrect

NOT or NOT doesn't make sense

That condition will always evaluate to true
