development

[quartz kindle]

what are you using for the server?

[spark flint]

NGINX

[quartz kindle]

only nginx or nginx -> node/whatever?

[spark flint]

nginx proxying Express.js

ah shit yeah

body-parser

[quartz kindle]

so yeah you need to raise the limit in both

[spark flint]

yeah my bad

forgot about that

[wheat mesa]

so uh

I have GameObjects stored in the components field as such in my main struct: ```rs
pub struct Simulator<'a> {
fps: u32,
components: Vec<Box<dyn GameObject>>,
ctx: &'a Sdl,
canvas: Canvas<Window>,
}

And then I add them kinda like this: ```rs
let mut hollow_box = HollowBox::new(
0,
0,
20,
20,
Some(50)
);
self.components.push(Box::new(hollow_box));

Which works fine, but the problem arises because the vector is taking ownership of the gameobject

when I want to be able to use hollow_box below that

For example when I want to add a force on a keypress: ```rs
Event::KeyDown {
keycode: Some(Keycode::Space),
..
} => {
hollow_box.add_force_angle(150.0, 45.0);
}

(Formatting got weird)

But I can't use it because the vec already took ownership

Would this be the right time to use an Rc or something like that

Instead of a box?

Oh maybe I need to store them as a HashMap or something similar so I can borrow them from the struct when I need to do things to them

[cinder patio]

You could save the index and access it via the index

[wheat mesa]

problem is that they're listed as dyn GameObject but I need to access specific methods on the component

[cinder patio]

hmmm well

[cinder patio]

Shouldn't add_force_angle be on GameObject?

[wheat mesa]

Not everything is going to need that though

I might be able to add a default implementation

I feel like that's going to clutter GameObject with a lot of useless methods eventually

[cinder patio]

You could use an enum instead of dyn GameObject

enum GameObjectTypes {
    Box(...),
    ...
}

And keep them generalised

[wheat mesa]

I think I'm walking closer and closer towards falling into the ECS rabbit hole

[feral aspen]

What's the cause of this? https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/FFXxMMvuYE

Most of the servers are returning undefined?

[cinder patio]

Why do you need to store each component in a vector anyways

[wheat mesa]

rendering and updating

[cinder patio]

shouldn't your framework be doing this

[wheat mesa]

    fn update(&mut self, dt: f32) -> Result<(), String> {
        for component in &mut self.components.values_mut() {
            component.render(&mut self.canvas)?;
            component.update(dt)?;
        }
        Ok(())
    }

I'm just using SDL2

[cinder patio]

so you're making your own game engine

[wheat mesa]

Attempting to make my own physics engine yes

[cinder patio]

is the Simulator struct a singleton?

[wheat mesa]

yes

[cinder patio]

if so you could just use a global vector to store everything. That actually doesn't solve any of ur issues actually why I am suggesting that

[wheat mesa]

Yeah the vector would still own it lol

[cinder patio]

Well use reference counting

easy way out

[wheat mesa]

But I need mutation :C

[cinder patio]

Then use RefCell

[quartz kindle]

whats the code that logs that

[cinder patio]

Rc + RefCell

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/cell/struct.RefCell.html

[feral aspen]

Slash commands aren't working either.

module.exports = async bot => {
    let activities = [`${(await bot.shard.fetchClientValues('guilds.cache.size').then(total => total.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0))).toLocaleString()} servers!`, `${(await bot.shard.fetchClientValues('users.cache.size').then(total => total.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0))).toLocaleString()} members!`, `attitudebot.com`], i = 0;
    setInterval(() => bot.user.setActivity(`${activities[i++ % activities.length]} || /help`, { type: 'PLAYING' }), 60000);
    
    bot.shard.broadcastEval(client => console.log('Shard ID', client.shard.ids[0], client.guilds.cache.map(guild => guild.name)));
    console.log(`Attitude is now online serving ${(await bot.shard.fetchClientValues('guilds.cache.size').then(total => total.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0))).toLocaleString()} servers, ${(await bot.shard.fetchClientValues('users.cache.size').then(total => total.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0))).toLocaleString()} members (${(await bot.shard.broadcastEval(client => client.guilds.cache.reduce((a, b) => a + b.memberCount, 0)).then(results => results.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0))).toLocaleString()} members uncached) & ${(await bot.shard.fetchClientValues('channels.cache.size').then(total => total.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0))).toLocaleString()} channels.`);
};

[wheat mesa]

I guess Rc<RefCell<dyn GameObject>>?

[cinder patio]

yup

hmm

actually

RefCell needs the type to be sized I believe, try it

actually it doesn't

[wheat mesa]

Yeah I'm just updating my loop to work with those types rn, hold up

Yeah no still not gonna work unfortunately

I probably need to just come up with a different solution than the gameobject garbage, it's going to be too difficult to fight the borrow checker over it

Or, I could make a mess and just add a ton of methods to gameobject with default implementation lmao

And use a hashmap

I think I'm going to redesign into an ECS

[cinder patio]

I don't know how using a hashmap will solve your issue

the hashmap has ownership of the game object

[cinder patio]

Why not give each GameComponent a on_key_down method, and call it when a key is pressed down?

Or even better, just make it so a component can check if a key is down in their update function

[quartz kindle]

that means the shard you are evalling is not ready yet

[sharp geyser]

    let mut output = Vec::new();

    let mut streak = 0;
    for &item in arr {
        if item == 1 {
            streak += 1;
        } else if item == 0 && streak > 0 {
            output.push(streak);
            streak = 0;
        }
    }

    if streak > 0 {
        output.push(streak);
    }

    output

So what is this guy doing with the whole &item thing?

[cinder patio]

uh that doesn't seem right? I think it's meant to borrow the item from the arr, but then it should be &arr not &item

[sharp geyser]

I see, what is the point tho cant you just do for item in arr like normal?

I am still new to the idea of borrowing and ownership

[cinder patio]

That will take ownership of the collection and everything inside it

so it'll be freed after the loop is over

so you won't be able to use it afterwards

[sharp geyser]

I see

[sharp geyser]

So all this does is delete it from memory once it is over or?

[cinder patio]

yes

[sharp geyser]

I also notice if you do for num in &numbers num is now &i32 which you can't compare against a normal int anymore can you?

so you can't do if num == 1

[cinder patio]

you can compare rust automatically dereferences them

[sharp geyser]

let me try one sec

error[E0277]: can't compare `&i32` with `{integer}`
 --> src\main.rs:9:16
  |
9 |         if num == 1 {
  |                ^^ no implementation for `&i32 == {integer}`
  |
  = help: the trait `PartialEq<{integer}>` is not implemented for `&i32`

Unless I am doing something wrong?

[wheat mesa]

why do for num in &numbers

[cinder patio]

interesting why it doesn't dereference it here

you can do num == &1

or you can do num.clone() == 1

[wheat mesa]

or *num == 1

[cinder patio]

that too, same as clone

[sharp geyser]

what does * do in rust?

[cinder patio]

(well actually copy but in this case clone == copy)

[wheat mesa]

gets the value of a reference

[cinder patio]

dereferences

[wheat mesa]

Also I'm going to refactor my engine to allign with something more like this: https://youtu.be/oHYs-UqS458

[sharp geyser]

I see

[wheat mesa]

This was an absolutely fantastic video on state and such, currently I'm going down the OOP road of it which is very bad

[sharp geyser]

I keep learning more and more about rust every time I do these small code challenges

[cinder patio]

if the data type can be copied it copies it, it doesn't dereference it

[wheat mesa]

So I need to refactor to represent state better and closer to an ECS

[wheat mesa]

yes, that's good

The more mistakes you make, the better you'll become at rust

[sharp geyser]

Yeeee

[wheat mesa]

I've rewritten my engine 3 times from the ground up already, but I've learned a shit ton along the way

[sharp geyser]

kek

you kind of just went straight into rust by making a math parser

so like

[wheat mesa]

rust has amazing pattern matching and I've done the parser thing 3 times before

(In other languages)

[sharp geyser]

Yea

You have the knowhow to implement something like that rather easily

[wheat mesa]

enums + match statements made my interpreter like 5 times shorter than it was in C#

[sharp geyser]

I do wanna kinda challenge myself a bit more tho with these rust challenges

[wheat mesa]

you can try rustlings

That's a good start for an overall introduction into a lot of features in rust

[royal portal]

give me ideas on how to stop memory leaks

[wheat mesa]

use rust

[royal portal]

no

[sharp geyser]

get more ram

[royal portal]

is 2 gb good enough

i currently have 1 gb

and i only get memory leaks when someone ddos

[sharp geyser]

You could also not write code thatcauses memory leaks

[spark flint]

lol

[royal portal]

its in the package

[sharp geyser]

wait no my english today sucks I was right the first time

[royal portal]

no you are wrong

[sharp geyser]

Don't use that package

[royal portal]

well i will

i need it for https

[sharp geyser]

what package are you using for https

[royal portal]

https://npmjs.com/greenlock-express

[sharp geyser]

👀

[royal portal]

so getting more ram is the solution

[feral aspen]

I mean we're back to the issue we talked about two months ago.

[royal portal]

misty say yes

[sharp geyser]

sure ig but i'd ask someone else

[royal portal]

@feral aspen what are your thoughts on this

[sharp geyser]

1gb should be fine for a small website

[royal portal]

as the founder and developer of the bot named attitude

its a proxy server

[sharp geyser]

oh

either way

[royal portal]

yes but if you are getting ddosed

you get more requests

more traffic

[sharp geyser]

yea

[wheat mesa]

gotta love when websites don't know what a memory leak actually is

[cinder patio]

you don't need an npm package for this

[royal portal]

then how else would i do it

[cinder patio]

you can use reverse proxy with nginx

[split hazel]

an automatic letsencrypt express handler

thats pretty awesome

[cinder patio]

using a reverse proxy allows you to handle DOSing a lot better than an express middleware can

[royal portal]

but am not sure if its that package causing that error

i cant find whats causing it

[cinder patio]

Is your server storing a lot of stuff in memory

[royal portal]

in the system?!?!1

or just that process

it does use a lot of memory in the process when there is a ddos

more than half the ram

and now its out of memory

[split hazel]

its most likely because when you're not being ddosed the memory leaks arent apparent due to the traffic

[royal portal]

could i just change the max listeners to infinity?!?!1

[split hazel]

not easy to fix them or even tell if its because of a module but generally you should make sure you remove every single reference to objects

node out of memory crashes arent very helpful would be nice if they provided an overview of whats using most memory

@earnest phoenix take notes

[royal portal]

it does say it happened in server.js

or maybe thats just the current process

[earnest phoenix]

V8 heap snapshots exists which can help, but in this case it can be more difficult to locate where the memory leaks occur

[royal portal]

volty would increasing ram help stop the event listener error?!?!1

[earnest phoenix]

No, that warning is given out because something is constantly adding more event listeners to an event emitter in your program, that reaches the maximum set event listeners

[split hazel]

yea but an overview would be nice

i hate snapshots and the chrome remove debugger

[cinder patio]

not necessarily event listeners

[royal portal]

maybe my memory went to like 500 mb because i logged every request during the ddos

[split hazel]

the chrome node debugger actually crashes node for me often

[royal portal]

its now at 100 mb without logging

[earnest phoenix]

Well yes, event listeners aren't always the cause of the program running out of memory, but I suppose it's the event listeners in this case because apparently burber didn't show the initial warning

[royal portal]

the full warning?!?!1

[earnest phoenix]

Yes

[split hazel]

burbur pov:

app.get("/", () => {
  something.on("event", () => {});
});

[royal portal]

not bad code

smh

[quartz kindle]

you literally add event listeners inside an event

meaning infinte event listeners

[split hazel]

💀 💀 💀 💀

[quartz kindle]

thats bad code

[split hazel]

mf speedy predicted correctly

[royal portal]

thats inside my routes

[quartz kindle]

you are adding .on("error") somewhere inside an existing event

show full code smh

[royal portal]

you mean that?!?!1

[quartz kindle]

well where did you put that???????

[split hazel]

bro just show the whole thing lmao

[earnest phoenix]

Nothing in that sparks something that is adding event listeners to an event emitter, not directly at least

[quartz kindle]

are you importing app in another file? show that other file

[split hazel]

that library is looking hella sus rn

[earnest phoenix]

It's either the proxy.web() call doing something suspicious there, or it's the greenlock-express library being the impostor

[royal portal]

[quartz kindle]

try running with node --trace-warnings

[royal portal]

node --trace-warnings server.js

thats what i will run

[quartz kindle]

yes

[royal portal]

now just stress testing the server

so i get the warning

[split hazel]

that library has a ton of nested event listeners so i can see its easy to fuck up

[earnest phoenix]

Goody ahh library

[split hazel]

that code is so spaghetti its not even funny

[earnest phoenix]

a

[royal portal]

which code

[split hazel]

the library

[royal portal]

thought you were talking about mine

[quartz kindle]

no event listener warnings?

[sharp geyser]

God borrowing is still rather confusing to me in rust 😔

[royal portal]

thats all there is

all in the screenshot i sent

[sharp geyser]

nice email

time to email them

[royal portal]

no

[earnest phoenix]

I think you've stress-tested it a bit too much before it was able to show the warnings

My guy runs on almost Nintendo 3DS RAM

[royal portal]

do i upgrade the ram?!?!1

lmao

[earnest phoenix]

1GB RAM is most likely enough for your program, but becomes a lot confusing with less RAM in case of debugging

[royal portal]

so do i upgrade to 2 gb?!?!1

[earnest phoenix]

I would say stress-test it again but stop at a early stage so it doesn't ran out of memory

Where I can ask question about launching bot on top.gg

[royal portal]

and how can i do that

[split hazel]

yeah its defo the library

[royal portal]

do i stop it at like X mb or just change the amount of seconds the attack runs

[earnest phoenix]

#support

[split hazel]

the library assigns error listeners like theres no tomorrow

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah it's definitely the library

Use something else or implement your own I suppose

[royal portal]

someone rewrite it

well the ram does go up

so does volty recommend upgrade

[earnest phoenix]

It wouldn't really ramp up if you use something else

[royal portal]

but if i still use that

[earnest phoenix]

Because your program seems simple enough

[quartz kindle]

ram it down its throat

[earnest phoenix]

Don't use that, because it's not written properly

[royal portal]

i dont know what to move to

[quartz kindle]

nginx

[royal portal]

does that auto renew certs

[quartz kindle]

you can literally do the entire proxy thing in pure nginx, you dont even need node

you can autorenew with cerbot or acme.sh

[split hazel]

use certbot to generate a letsencrypt certificate then use this answer to start a https express server with it https://stackoverflow.com/a/70443344/11138133

tho i think you can also make nginx handle the https for you

if you proxy

[royal portal]

what if i use nginx and express

if thats possible

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-to-run-node-js-server-with-nginx

[split hazel]

your choice really

but it might be better to setup https on nginxs side

[sturdy stratus]

is there any way when someone votes for the bot my bot can know?

[spark flint]

https://docs.top.gg

i really wanna make a websocket module which can listen to topgg votes

[earnest phoenix]

you can set it up with the @pliant gorge bot im pretty sure

[spark flint]

nope

thats for servers

[spark flint]

what page

[earnest phoenix]

dam

[sturdy stratus]

do i have to put it in index.js?

[spark flint]

yeah

[sturdy stratus]

this is to show who voted?

[split hazel]

nodejs mfs if events didnt exist:

while (true) {
  if (event) {};
}

[quartz kindle]

"why is my program using 100% cpu when idle"

[boreal iron]

What’s the definition of "not working"?

You just defined a function

Do you even call your "crazy" function?

[sturdy stratus]

What does it do?

[boreal iron]

Because you just defined some_crazy_function for whatever reason and you don’t call/execute the function

Why do you even define that?

[earnest phoenix]

It automatically posts your Discord bot's stats (such as guild count, shard count, etc etc) based on an interval to Top.gg's API

[sturdy stratus]

and where do you publish?

[earnest phoenix]

What do you mean?

[sturdy stratus]

and where do you publish?

[earnest phoenix]

?

It posts your Discord bot's stats to Top.gg's API if that's what you're asking

[boreal iron]

I feel like he means where to put it in his code

[royal portal]

@earnest phoenix wait volty about that error, could i just leave it how it is and just let pm2 restart?!?!1

[boreal iron]

I told you way

[split hazel]

nah you need to be banned from code

[boreal iron]

Don’t randomly ping people for no reason

[royal portal]

@boreal iron

[earnest phoenix]

Well yes you could, but you'll just outright run into your program running out of memory all the time, so I would recommend using something else than that library to fix it

[royal portal]

[earnest phoenix]

so this will do something like this?

[royal portal]

inspect element!!1

omg

[spark flint]

what bot is that

[boreal iron]

If you don’t know what you did, you need to learn the basics of python before working with it

[earnest phoenix]

xenon

[boreal iron]

Because you defined a function for no reason and you don’t call/execute it

Copy and pasting usually doesn’t work

_They all must have won the green role in a lottery _

[earnest phoenix]

What the hell do you expect to achieve here?

# CREATES A NEW BOT OBJECT WITH A SPECIFIED PREFIX. IT CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE.
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="$")

# EXECUTES THE BOT WITH THE SPECIFIED TOKEN. TOKEN HAS BEEN REMOVED AND USED JUST AS AN EXAMPLE.
bot.run("the token")

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="$")



@bot.command(name="ping")
async def some_crazy_function_name(ctx):
    await ctx.channel.send("pong")

I'm not telling you to try that, that's your code

[boreal iron]

Execute you’re some_crazy_function_name

My gosh

lmao

[earnest phoenix]

You're logging in with the bot, but then reassigning the bot variable to a new bot instance

[boreal iron]

Executing doesn’t mean deleting

[wheat mesa]

he thought execute meant kill in this context

That’s actually pretty funny

[boreal iron]

I feel like you’re using the google translator or worse, bing translator

[earnest phoenix]

They're not telling you to delete that, you're declaring a function to be executed when that command is run, but that part is never even reached because the the bot instance you logged in with is destroyed, and you're creating a new one after logging it

And I would recommend setting up your commands before logging in

[wheat mesa]

(Also fake he doesn’t need to execute it, python is a little bit different because of annotations)

[boreal iron]

That’s more than I wanted to know about python

🔫

[earnest phoenix]

Try removing the second

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="$")

My God, you should follow up on what I said

Also you shouldn't just outright copy code that you don't understand what it does

[royal portal]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-enforces-ssl

gonna try that

even though its published 8 years ago

[earnest phoenix]

last published: 8 years ago

[royal portal]

as long as it works

then burbur happy

[earnest phoenix]

I wouldn't recommend trying it at all, it will definitely not work, probably has security issues or haven't adapted to newer versions of Express

[royal portal]

so i try nginx instead?!?!1

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah

[royal portal]

but could i have nginx and express

so nginx used for the https

[earnest phoenix]

You absolutely can, just read up on the documentation

[boreal iron]

Dude you need some basic knowledge before working with any programming language

Things don’t work by copy and pasting stuff

[royal portal]

that was easier than i thought

[split hazel]

8 years ago 💀

[royal portal]

dont tell community managers to give me code jail role

but anyways

[boreal iron]

Nope, I don’t need to, thanks

[royal portal]

D:

[boreal iron]

:D

That’s part of getting into any programming language

Once again, once you know the basics of your program language you’re using, things will get a lot easier

Why would it be an event when you say you wanna make it a command?

You should probably read some not-outdated guides on how to start with python and a discord bot in python

[royal portal]

i cant find a way to do it

[earnest phoenix]

[wheat mesa]

Postgres is really nice

You don’t need experience with SQL, you can use an ORM which would make your life easy

[sharp geyser]

What language do you use if I might ask?

an orm I recommend then is sequelize if you want something basic and if you are using typescript at all I highly suggest typeorm

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1279613/what-is-an-orm-how-does-it-work-and-how-should-i-use-one

[wheat mesa]

It’s essentially an abstraction of methods for you to interact with an SQL database in a way that doesn’t require you to manually write SQL (most of the time)

[sharp geyser]

sometimes you can write your own sql though if you wanted to

a lot of orms provide what is known as a query builder which allows you to use sql keywords and such

[boreal iron]

Actually I did that in the past, too but after years moved away from it again

Even if it’s nice to build and use dynamic functions you can pass non, one or multiple parameters to, to insert or update data dynamically

But i somehow felt more comfortable writing the sql queries down where I need them and adjust them if needed

Instead of editing my functions which sometimes caused a rewrite and a different structure which also caused a rewrite of any line of code where I was calling the function

But you should somehow still build a wrapper which takes all sort of queries also prepared statements for example and which handles errors etc

Without the need to use multiple functions for queries, either it’s insert, update … etc or prepared statements

many words but a short meaning

[lament rock]

I wrote my own query builder mainly for typings

[earnest phoenix]

I always get this Error when trying to get a json file to a variable:

can anyone help?

[bright hornet]

I was trying to create a mini rpg game but it loops forever and ignore the collection, I was using recursive function, What should i change to not ignore the collection?
https://sourceb.in/00dYJGkujC

[lyric mountain]

First of all, replace that var with let

Second, your entire setDescription can be replaced with an interpolated string

Third, did you check what is being read?

[quartz kindle]

wdym ignores the collection?

you want to wait for the collector before the fights() function?

[bright hornet]

yep, wanted to wait the callback before it runs the function again

[bright hornet]

even im not using any .includes command the callback() will lunch agian

[quartz kindle]

the only way is to wrap the collector in a promise and resolve the promise when the collector "end" event fires

but from looking at your code you shouldnt even be using collectors in the first place, since you're only collecting 1 message

just use channel.awaitMessages()

[lyric mountain]

I would make the entire game run inside a single collector, that way you don't need to re-run the command again and again for each action

[bright hornet]

so if u mean, if i wanted to call the function again, should i call it by using collection (end)?

[quartz kindle]

if you want to go the callback hell route, yes, put all the code that is supposed to be run after the collector inside a collector.on("end", () => {....}) event

[bright hornet]

i see isee, gonna try it thanks for the tips

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah

not like with ai

just the text

[wheat mesa]

Not sure, thought I found one for a second but turned out to be an ai thing

like https://dummyimage.com/1920x1080/000/fff.png&text=hello+world ? i'm not sure what you mean by "text to image"

[wheat mesa]

It's probably difficult to search for something like that given the hype surrounding ai art rn

[earnest phoenix]

that's literally all i was searching for lol

thank you

[wheat mesa]

https://dummyimage.com/1920x1080/000/fff.png&text=hello+bingus

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah xD

Hello. I made a bot that handles NS*W categories like NS*W channels. Basically it works like if they are already official. It does not contain any NS*W content. It just toggles some channel properties. (it is an utility bot)

I already submitted the bot and it didn't get accepted. Is there any way to censor some text or anything to make it get accepted?

[wheat mesa]

it's because of your bot page

[desert sable]

i know

[wheat mesa]

You need to not mention anything about NSFW in your bot page

[desert sable]

does it get accepted if i put* everywhere?

[wheat mesa]

You cannot mention NSFW in your page

[desert sable]

ok thanks
i am unfortunately forced to use another bot list website

[wheat mesa]

Why's that?

[ancient nova]

from his bots name it looks like it would be focused on nsfw?

so if he can't mention any nsfw then it's kinda missing the point of advertising the bots features

[wheat mesa]

I guess so

[ancient nova]

happy bday btw

[wheat mesa]

ty

[desert sable]

quick question: can i recover the bot's description after it has been declined?

[ancient nova]

pretty sure if u just try reapplying the bot you can take the description cause it saves

at least that was the case for me

[desert sable]

can i cancel the submission right after? i do not remember

[ancient nova]

just click reapply, it won't send the application unless u click the apply button

just copy the description and close the site

[desert sable]

where is the reapply button
sorry for all of these questions

[ancient nova]

just try adding the bot again, there is no button for that

[desert sable]

ok thanks

for all

[desert sable]

i just tried it. submitting a bot requires a description. can any admin / dev help me with recovering declined bot's description please?

[bright hornet]

So I was trying to figure it out on how to bring back on the first callback when the content does not the proper answer? Like yes and no

[fathom sonnet]

guys, how can I create role with djs?

and also, how can i check if role with same name exist on server

ok i realized...

[earnest phoenix]

hey. how do i make my bot see and reply to commands in voice channel chats

[fathom sonnet]

i think it should work same as in the normal chat, im not sure?

ok new Question: Can I use if() statement to get choices in slash commands?

like: ```js
if(interaction.choice === "30") {
// Do Something
}

[fervent moss]

How to resize thumbnail?

[sharp geyser]

I don't think you can

Unless you were to use a bigger sized image but iirc that even has limits

[fathom sonnet]

so I get this error when i try to execute my timeout command:
and here is part of the code where error happen

so "remove" is undefined, so that mean that .roles dosent exist?

why that happens?

[earnest phoenix]

user isnt wnat you want most likely

@fathom sonnet

[fathom sonnet]

ahh so i think i know how to fix it

[earnest phoenix]

if its User Structure, that itself doesnt have .roles

only Member Structure does.

[astral halo]

hello, is there anyone who used azure sql vm?

and is it a product that i can use if i want to have an sql database and also do things with it on a virtual machine?

[fathom sonnet]

ok so I resolved that problem, but...how can I assign role that I created to the memebr?

[earnest phoenix]

roles.create should return the Role Object.

so you can reassignment MutedRole to roles.create

and then your code should work

or do its intended purpsoe

[fathom sonnet]

reassignment so to use MutedRole inside the name? in the roles.create

bcz that wil lthrow err

[earnest phoenix]

variable reassignment

MutedRole = interactions.guild.roles.create({

[fathom sonnet]

ahhh

tnx

lemme try

yep...still same err

[earnest phoenix]

do

.add(MutedRole.id)

.remove(MutedRole.id)

[fathom sonnet]

ok lemme try

same...but... on roles.remove()

[earnest phoenix]

are you deleting the role each time you test?

[fathom sonnet]

nope, it dosent even look like it is created

also, It need to check everytime of role exist on server, if not then it will create new one, if yes, it will just add it to member

[earnest phoenix]

can you repost the current code you have

[fathom sonnet]

this is basicly whole file

and here is part for role... ```js
const user = interaction.options.getUser('user')

        }, time)
       */

after i removed timeout

i think it should work...THEN

[earnest phoenix]

thats so weird.

[fathom sonnet]

ok...new role is created, BUT, it have default name new role

and it didnt even assigned it

[earnest phoenix]

oooh that makes more sense.

roles.create is following a different format

than what you do

peretty sure you dont need the: data: { on roles.create

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/RoleManager?scrollTo=create

[fathom sonnet]

ok ok, progress

role created, now...hmmm

it dosent assign...

...I think i know what i can try

ok, it didnt created new role, it assigned role to memebr, and i still have this

xd

[earnest phoenix]

you dont do

interaction.reply

anywhere

[fathom sonnet]

yep

i added it

now only thing left to be done is: to get choices from option

[fathom sonnet]

ah nvm fixed it

[fathom sonnet]

sooo i changed code a little bit and i got this...
Here is my whole code: ```js
const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders')
const { MessageEmbed } = require('discord.js')
const Schema = require('../../models/timeout-schema')

module.exports = {
data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName('timeout')
.setDescription('Timeout a user for a set amount of time')
.addUserOption(option =>
option.setName('user')
.setDescription('The user to timeout')
.setRequired(true)
)
.addStringOption(option =>
option
.setName('duration')
.setDescription('Duration of the timeout (In Minutes) ')
.setRequired(true)
)
.addStringOption(option =>
option
.setName('reason')
.setDescription('The reason for the timeout')
.setRequired(false)

),
async execute(interaction, client) {
    try {

        if(!interaction.member.permissions.has('DEAFEN_MEMBERS')) {
            interaction.reply('You are not allowed to use this command!!')
            return 
        }

        let user = interaction.options.getUser('user')
        let member = interaction.guild.members.cache.get(user.id) || await interaction.guild.members.fetch(user.id).cache                
        let duration = Number(interaction.options.getString('duration'))
        let reason = interaction.options.getString('reason')
        if(!reason) reason = "No reason given"
        let MutedRole = interaction.guild.roles.cache.find(role => role.name === 'Timeouted');
        
        // need to get choices from option
        
        
            let embed = new MessageEmbed()
            .setTitle('Timeout')
            .setDescription('You have been timed out for **' + duration + ' minutes.' + '\n**Reason: ** ' + reason + '**')
            .setColor('#F66969')
            .setTimestamp()
            user.send({embeds: [embed]})


            if(!MutedRole) {
                MutedRole = interaction.guild.roles.create({
                    
                        name: 'Timeouted',
                        color: '#000000',
                        permissions: [
                            'VIEW_CHANNEL'
                        ]

                    
                })
            }


            if(member.roles.cache.has(MutedRole.id)) {
                return interaction.reply('This member is already timed out')
            }
            else {

            member.roles.add(MutedRole)
            member.timeout(duration, reason)

            embed = new MessageEmbed()
            .setTitle('User Timeouted')
            .setDescription(`${user.username} has been timeouted for **${duration}** minutes.

Reason: ${reason}`)
.setColor('#A7FFBE')
.setTimestamp()
interaction.channel.send({embeds: [embed]})

            setTimeout(() => {
                member.roles.remove(MutedRole)
            }, duration)
        }





    
        



        Schema.findOne({ Guild: interaction.guild.id }, (err, data) => {
            
            if(data) {
                data.User = member,
                data.Duration = duration
                data.Reason = reason
                data.save()

            }
            else {
                new Schema({
                    Guild:  interaction.guild.id,
                    User: member,
                    Duration: duration,
                    Reason: reason,
                }).save()

            }
        })
    } catch(err) {
            console.log(err)}
}

}

so i saw that i can use member.timeout() to timeout members so I used that

in brackets i passed duration and reason

 setTimeout(() => {
                    member.roles.remove(MutedRole)
                }, duration)
``` should remove muted role after time that has been passed inside duration

if(member.roles.cache.has(MutedRole.id)) {
                    return interaction.reply('This member is already timed out')
                }
``` this should check if user alredy have this role (if it is alredy muted)

 member.roles.add(MutedRole)
                member.timeout(duration, reason)
``` bot give role to the user and then time out him

[dry imp]

{ name: '1 week', value: "7week" },
interesting...

[fathom sonnet]

i deleted that...cuz there is easier reason

[spark flint]

const EventEmitter = require('events');
class VoteWatcher extends EventEmitter {
    constructor(apiKey) {
        // code
        VoteWatcher.emit("vote", data)
        //code
    }
    
}```

https://cdn.myprojects.lol/🐃🦜🌝🌰🚆.png

[pale vessel]

why emit an event inside the constructor?

if you want to emit, use super() and this.emit()

[spark flint]

ah ok

https://cdn.myprojects.lol/📚🍰🗄🍒🦙.png

awesome it worked

[fathom sonnet]

is there a way to check if member on the server is muted, if I dont use roles for mutes?

[spark flint]

you can check for timeout

[boreal iron]

You will most likely need to fetch the audit logs

[spark flint]

<guildMember>.communicationDisabledUntilTimestamp

if it doesn't return null, they're timedout

[boreal iron]

muted and timeouts are different things

[spark flint]

if I dont use roles for mutes?

[boreal iron]

Also I don’t see how somebody should effectively be muted without roles

(without using timeouts)

How would you overwrite his permissions in the channels to prevent him from sending a message?

You can’t.

[eternal solar]

how can i make fetch to work infinite times? as long as bot is alive

i tried making an infinite loop but it didn't work on discord.js

[boreal iron]

You will have to respect the rate limit in order to fetch data continuously

But I doubt it takes long until you get banned from using the API if you only fetch data

[eternal solar]

wdym i get ban?

im using yt api

[boreal iron]

You may wanna provide more details when asking a question

What data do you wanna fetch?

[eternal solar]

someone's yt channel data

his yt videos

[quartz kindle]

explain what you want to do, show code examples

[feral aspen]

What are the prerequisites to make a dashboard for a discord bot?

[sharp geyser]

Have a bot

Also know how to interact with oauth2

[feral aspen]

Continue?

[sharp geyser]

I mean those are the biggest ones

Once you have oauth2 you can do virtually anything those other dashboards do with discord related stuff

Like getting the users guilds to add a bot to, getting their username, avatar, etc

[quartz kindle]

know the difference between backend and frontend

knowing full stack development

[lyric mountain]

learning how to setup websockets

[quartz kindle]

you can do without websockets, depending on your needs

[feral aspen]

Ahh, web sockets, lemme search that.

[lyric mountain]

I mean yeah, you could do with rest requests (or god forbid, direct database transactions), but it'd risk desync no?

[boreal iron]

Why desync? Save all your personal settings in your database the bot also uses

[quartz kindle]

depends on what they want to do with their dashboards

[feral aspen]

Uhh, just explanation on what you mean with desync? A scenario, like, please.

[quartz kindle]

not all dashboards have live updates and shit

[boreal iron]

What’s the sense of interact with your bot directly via sockets and the bot stores the settings you set in your database

One step less

[boreal iron]

Correct

You fetch your data on request when loading the site

[lyric mountain]

if ur gonna do a simple dashboard u can live without websockets, but once you start exploring live stuff you'll need to use websockets

[feral aspen]

What does websockets do exactly?

[boreal iron]

Not any data has to be available in a cache at any time

[quartz kindle]

they allow you to send and receive data in real time

without reloading the website

[feral aspen]

Ohh, that's websockets??

[lyric mountain]

basically a direct connection between two points

like a tether or smth

that way you can receive events without sending requests

basically what happens with bots <--> discord

[feral aspen]

That's really a good thing to add for websites especially for dashboards,

[boreal iron]

Absolutely unnecessary but okay

[feral aspen]

I mean, I know most websites use "websockets".

[quartz kindle]

the main difference between websockets and ajax, is that all ajax updates have to be initiated by the user, ie, you cannot receive an update from your server if you dont request the update from the browser of have the browser request for updates every x time
with websockets the server can send you stuff and trigger updates in the browser without the user doing anything

[lament rock]

websockets are still technically a request, just the tcp socket isn't closed once the initial data is finished transferring

[feral aspen]

Fair enough, fair enough. So how does it work, is it some sort of add-in code which functions or do you need to follow such documentations?

[quartz kindle]

there is a websocket built into the browser

you need a websocket server on your server

[feral aspen]

As I'm currently looking for a simple video idea on getting started with Discord.JS dashboards to get the main idea of trying to use a websocket server on my server.

[lyric mountain]

it doesn't really matter what lib u use for the bot

[feral aspen]

On my server as you mean the VPS?

[quartz kindle]

wherever you website is going to be hosted

[near stratus]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSocket

[lament rock]

If you're trying to make your own client/server for backend, you need a ws library installed or use the sockets attached to your req you send/receive and follow the websocket specification

[quartz kindle]

also keep in mind that not all websocket libs are interchangeable

for example ws is not 100% compatible with browser websocket

[boreal iron]

Or simply build a dashboard without websockets and request your personal settings from your database once the user loads the website

Instead of over complicating things

[lament rock]

Polling is a bad idea for frequently changing data

but not the worst idea

websockets can have more overhead

[near stratus]

I don't think dashboard data is frequently changing

[lament rock]

Depends on the dashboard

[boreal iron]

Maybe once your project reaches an huge scale

[lament rock]

I allow users to view music queues in realtime on my bot's dashboard and that requires websockets

[near stratus]

That guy saidhe's following a tutorial
Doesn't seem that serious

[feral aspen]

Alright, for now I have a web-hosting plan.
And instead of using the file manager in the plesk to host my website, I want to use a VPS.

I will be able to achieve so by changing my DNS records, by the looks of it.

[boreal iron]

I feel like he simply wants to show some personal settings user can set for their guilds

[feral aspen]

I can still host the website on the same VPS the bot is hosted in, I believe.

[lament rock]

You never know someone's situation. Just providing facts they can apply to their desired use case

[near stratus]

I got a better idea
Just ask him

[boreal iron]

Eww

[near stratus]

@feral aspen What functions do you need for that bot dashboard ?

[feral aspen]

Functions? What do you mean "functions"?

[boreal iron]

Features

[near stratus]

features

[lament rock]

What do you wanna do with it

[feral aspen]

I mean, for now, I just want to set it up by at least having it to show the server count and the member count on the website.

[boreal iron]

Just let the user set specific settings of your bot in their guild?

One time

[quartz kindle]

do you want these counts to update automatically without refreshing the page?

[feral aspen]

If we're using web-sockets, sure.

[lament rock]

Websockets are an option, but might be overkill

[quartz kindle]

i mean, you first decide if you want that or not, so you can decide if you need websockets or not

[lament rock]

I mentioned they have more overhead than polling in certain situations

[feral aspen]

I mean, I want to use web-sockets, yes.

[near stratus]

You know you don't even need a server for that
That data is available publicly throw the api
Just fetch it

[quartz kindle]

but you want to use them because you need them or because they sound fancy?

[feral aspen]

Polling as in what, what do you mean?

[quartz kindle]

lmao

polling = requesting an update every x time

instead of websocket

[boreal iron]

Simply update the data every 15 mins for example

Nobody needs live data

[feral aspen]

No, not for the fanciness or something, I just want them to show so I could setup my website/dashboard that displays the basic information before I, for example, work on the oauth2, and the logging in, etc.

[boreal iron]

Not for something unnecessary like a bot

[feral aspen]

Other than that, I want to make the dashboard to, for example, change the prefix of the server we're configuring.

In addition to the checks I'll have to program, such as:

• Making sure the bot is in the server.
• You logged in.
• etc.

[near stratus]

Skip the websocket and polling
Just load the content every time the user refreshes

[boreal iron]

Query your database to get the current settings like the prefix, then push the changes to your database once the user edits it

[feral aspen]

That is what I'll do, yes.

[feral aspen]

Alright, I won't display the bot count and member count, supposedly, but I do want to use web-sockets.

However, not sure what "polling" is.

[near stratus]

Requesting the server every 5 minutes

[feral aspen]

Aha.

[boreal iron]

Let your bot update the total counts in your database for example every 15 mins and pull this data on your website once an user visits it (and/or cache it)

[near stratus]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polling_(computer_science)#:~:text=Polling is the process where,has received the next character.

[boreal iron]

It’s literally exact the same like updating your guild count on topgg

[feral aspen]

Ohh, fair enough. 👍

[boreal iron]

While you can update it like every few seconds the website pulls the data every hour from the database

Live stats are simply an unnecessary resource waste

For something unnecessary like a discord bot

[feral aspen]

Alright, looks like the prefix change feature is one way to setup the website.

[boreal iron]

Over complicating stuff especially if you start building stuff to get experienced isn’t really needed

But yeah, just my opinion

[feral aspen]

Alright, for sure. I'll just need to build the files for now and know what I'm doing.

[boreal iron]

Yes, knowing what you’re doing will help you a lot

[feral aspen]

Also, should I use next.js, express.js?

[lament rock]

I went for pain and did no middleware

middleware shouldn't be as bloated as some of them are

realistically, it should just be some utility stuff like providing path and query string

bc http server doesn't give that to you straight up

[quartz kindle]

[wheat mesa]

does anyone know how to implement a generational index

(as simply as possible preferably)

I got some boilerplate from online, but I have no idea if the methods I implemented are correct (especially allocate) ```rs
#[derive(Eq, PartialEq)]
struct GenerationalIndex {
index: usize,
generation: u64,
}

impl GenerationalIndex {
pub fn new(index: usize, generation: u64) -> Self {
GenerationalIndex { index, generation }
}

pub fn index(&self) -> usize {
    self.index
}

}

#[derive(Debug)]
struct AllocatorEntry {
is_live: bool,
generation: u64,
}

impl AllocatorEntry {
pub fn new(is_live: bool, generation: u64) -> Self {
AllocatorEntry { is_live, generation }
}
}

#[derive(Debug)]
struct GenerationalIndexAllocator {
entries: Vec<AllocatorEntry>,
free: Vec<usize>,
}

impl GenerationalIndexAllocator {
pub fn new() -> Self {
GenerationalIndexAllocator { entries: Vec::new(), free: Vec::new() }
}
pub fn allocate(&mut self) -> GenerationalIndex {
if self.free.is_empty() {
self.entries.push(AllocatorEntry::new(false, 0));
GenerationalIndex::new(self.entries.len() - 1, 0)
} else {
// fix
GenerationalIndex::new(0, 0)
}
}

pub fn deallocate(&mut self, index: GenerationalIndex) -> bool {
    self.free.push(index.index);
    match self.entries.get(index.index) {
        Some(entry) => true,
        None => false
    }
}

pub fn is_live(&self, index: GenerationalIndex) -> bool {
    if self.free.contains(&index.index) {
        false
    } else {
        if let Some(entry) = self.entries.get(index.index) {
            return entry.is_live;
        }
        false
    }
}

}

struct ArrayEntry<T> {
value: T,
generation: u64,
}

struct GenerationalIndexArray<T>(Vec<Option<ArrayEntry<T>>>);

impl<T> GenerationalIndexArray<T> {
// pub fn set(&mut self, index: GenerationalIndex, )
}

I have no idea if any of that is right

[fathom sonnet]

HEY GUYS, so i making my "own verison" of reaction roles, and i ran onto this error, idk why it is happening, seriously.

This is ss of error and my code: Error appears ob line 57

[wheat mesa]

then GuildData.roles is undefined

[fathom sonnet]

well i have ```js
const GuildData = await Schema.findOne({ Guild: interaction.guild.id})

[earnest phoenix]

Have you tried logging the value of the GuildData variable?

Also making a reaction roles feature in your bot nowadays is pointless, Discord has made a built-in feature that does the same thing but much better, it's called "Role Prompts"

[fathom sonnet]

hah, never heard of that. tnx man

[lyric mountain]

still in dev no?

[earnest phoenix]

It's still experimental yes, but it's going to be released very soon

[fathom sonnet]

really loved when this happens xd

[lyric mountain]

tf is bson?

ah, mongo

[earnest phoenix]

Son of a b

[stiff lynx]

how can I create a category and inside that category create a channel?

creating a channel inside the category is with the parent id, right?

[lyric mountain]

creating a category returns a channel

[earnest phoenix]

What library are you using?

[lyric mountain]

create a channel inside it

[stiff lynx]

discord.js

[fathom sonnet]

yep

[stiff lynx]

first I would like to create che category

[lyric mountain]

just chain requests

[stiff lynx]

but idk how to create a category

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/class/CategoryChannel

[earnest phoenix]

You can use this method to create a channel with the type of category
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/GuildChannelManager?scrollTo=create

[stiff lynx]

oh, ty

[earnest phoenix]

Well GUILD_CATEGORY to be precise

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/typedef/ChannelType

[fathom sonnet]

what can i do about this, bcz it is only happening at one command, other commands that are using mongo, they doing good

[lyric mountain]

review ur data structure

[wheat mesa]

kuuhaku you're a data structures man right

[lyric mountain]

that means u have something like ```json
{
"something": {
"abc": {
"something": {
"abc": {
...
}
}
}
}
}

[fathom sonnet]

like array?

yes

[lyric mountain]

no, like a horse pulling a car that's pulling a horse that's pulling a car that's...you get it

you have a looped structure

[fathom sonnet]

ahh, got it

[wheat mesa]

It's like ```
A has B in it
B has A in it

doesn't make sense, because then there would be an infinite structure

[lyric mountain]

to visualize

[fathom sonnet]

hah this is what i have:

sooo, Guild: is string and saves guild id,
user is array and it should save multiple users

like u can have them more muted

[lyric mountain]

that shouldn't cause that issue

[fathom sonnet]

but duration, reasons are string

[lyric mountain]

you probably have something else

[fathom sonnet]

i think...if i cange them...

second

[lyric mountain]

like this

GuildData.roles has GuildData.roles

but GuildData.roles also has GuildData.roles

[wheat mesa]

eh that looks fine to me

spread syntax

[lyric mountain]

ah, true

nvm then

[wheat mesa]

either way here I'd be doing GuildData.roles.push(newRole) instead of that

[fathom sonnet]

thats diferent command

that is for self roles

i deleted it

[earnest phoenix]

@fathom sonnet The first statement in that if statement is also wrong, because you're trying to reassign a constant variable

You've declared the roleData variable with the const variable, so it's constant but you're reassigning it there

[wheat mesa]

I am struggling with this ECS

:C

[fathom sonnet]

nah man, thats for self roles, i deleted that command, as you say it is kinda pointless

[earnest phoenix]

Oh

[fathom sonnet]

xd

this is basicly all for timeout.js ```js

            }
        })

    } catch(err) {
            console.log(err)}
}

}

[stiff lynx]

how can I set the permissions for the category for only administrator?

[earnest phoenix]

Well the reason that error occurs is because you're literally passing a GuildMember class instance to the database for it to save, which would fail because not only is it non-serialized that the database probably doesn't understand how to represent as a value, and that class instance also contains cyclic data

[stiff lynx]

You should pass the member.id

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah, it's recommended to rather save the ID and fetch it when needed, or save other information if necessary, not the whole instance

[stiff lynx]

let member = interaction.guild.members.cache.get(user.id) || await interaction.guild.members.fetch(user.id).cache

what is this?

y u cache before fetching?

and y are you doing both

fetch is more than enough

[lyric mountain]

he's probably checking if it's cached before attempting a fetch

[earnest phoenix]

The fetch() method checks for the cache first, so it's better to just call the fetch method

[stiff lynx]

there is a difference in the speed?

[lyric mountain]

if fetch didn't check the cache, yes, a huge one

[stiff lynx]

all is cached in discord.js lmao

[fathom sonnet]

yea, about that, that never made any problems

[stiff lynx]

It's kinda useless in my opinion

[fathom sonnet]

on any other cmd

[earnest phoenix]

It's actually wrong though, because you're accessing the property of a promise

[fathom sonnet]

soo to just fetch?

[earnest phoenix]

const member = await interaction.guild.members
  .fetch(user.id)
  .catch(() => null); // To handle the error if the member is not found.

Should be enough

[stiff lynx]

const action = await modal.guild.channels.create(`${nomeCategoria}`, {
                type: 'GUILD_CATEGORY',
                permissionOverwrites: [
                    {
                        id: modal.user.id,
                        allow: ["ADMINISTRATOR"],
                    }]
            })```

How can I properly set the permissions? never did that in my life, I want to set the category only for admins and the channels created for admins and the user that used the button (it is a ticket system)

[stiff lynx]

definetly

[earnest phoenix]

You should set the everyone role to not be able to see the channel, and set the role that has the administrator permission to do whatever, but it's not really needed since admins can already see all channels by default

[stiff lynx]

so not to everyone : js deny: [Permissions.FLAGS.EVERYONE],?

[earnest phoenix]

For that, you would need to set the id property to the guild ID, as the ID of the everyone role is the same as the guild ID

[stiff lynx]

REALLY? wow, that's cool

[earnest phoenix]

And for the permissions, set the deny property to an array that includes the VIEW_CHANNEL permission

[fathom sonnet]

i goona delete all of this dbs and start using excel as database

...

[stiff lynx]

const action = await modal.guild.channels.create(`${nomeCategoria}`, {
                type: 'GUILD_CATEGORY',
                permissionOverwrites: [
                    {
                        id: modal.guildId,
                        deny: [Permissions.FLAGS.VIEW_CHANNEL],
                    }]
            })

?

[stiff lynx]

🤮

[lyric mountain]

excel is a game engine not a database

[earnest phoenix]

That's correct, if the modal.guildId property is actually the ID of the guild of course

[stiff lynx]

modal have the same properties of interaction

[fathom sonnet]

ur right, i goona use Unity

tnx

[earnest phoenix]

Oh it's a modal instance, then yeah; I thought you assigned it to something else

[stiff lynx]

🤣

[lyric mountain]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2qU7t6Jmfw

think I'm joking?

[stiff lynx]

last question, when I will cre ate the channel in the category, allowing the user that presse the button I'll have to do ```js
const action = await modal.guild.channels.create(${nomeCategoria}, {
type: 'GUILD_CATEGORY',
permissionOverwrites: [
{
id: modal.guildId,
deny: [Permissions.FLAGS.VIEW_CHANNEL],
}, {
Id: modal.user.id,
allow: [Permissions.FLAGS.VIEW_CHANNEL
]
})

?

sorry for the how the code is invented, I wrote it from my phone 💀

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah that should work, just Id to id

[lyric mountain]

Id != id

[stiff lynx]

keyboard correction :)

above is in the right way

[winged linden]

yo got a question, what should i do if i got rate limited

i have a bulkassign role, it got rate limited

bot still works but the it doesnt assign roles

[earnest phoenix]

All you can do is wait

[winged linden]

how much usually?

and whats the rate limit? much many can i send per second

[earnest phoenix]

Ratelimits all go away after a certain amount of time, it's better to assign the roles in-between timeouts so it doesn't get ratelimited

[winged linden]

yeah cool how many should i send per second?

[lyric mountain]

it can range from a few minutes to an entire day

[earnest phoenix]

Ratelimits are not entirely constant to be shown in the documentation as they're dynamic, so this tells you how to check it
https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rate-limits

It would be better to assign roles in-between every 10 seconds or more, usually up to 1 minute just in case

But 20-30 seconds should also be fine

[stiff lynx]

the property in the channel creation for creating it in a category?

[feral aspen]

I'm confused, they changed it from await createConnection({}) to what? https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/hXZZyrE7TS

[earnest phoenix]

It's called parent
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/typedef/GuildChannelCreateOptions

For the other option, you can follow the CategoryCreateChannelOptions hyperlink above it

[winged linden]

Cool cool thanks

[earnest phoenix]

Basically what they're telling you is that, currently the Connection class isn't actually a real connection, it's just a place where information is stored for other connections, and QueryRunner class is the real connection which is created by the createConnection() function, but in the future the Connection class will be renamed to DataSource to reflect what it actually is and what it is used for, and the QueryRunner class will be renamed to Connection, to reflect that it's the real connection, so the new real connections will be created with the create() method of the Connection (renamed QueryRunner) class in the future

[feral aspen]

Ohh, so if I would want to create a connection, it would be what, particularly?

QueryRunner.create()?

[earnest phoenix]

It would look something like this

import { Connection } from 'typeorm'; // Or whatever it's name is.

const connection = Connection.create(/* options */);

As the QueryRunner class will be renamed to Connection to make it less confusing and reflect what it actually is, as mentioned

[feral aspen]

Ohh, fair enough. 👍

[feral aspen]

However, Connection is deprecated? https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/X65NzMAJXP

[earnest phoenix]

No no no, that's not the point; they're saying it'll happen in the future, currently the Connection class is not the real connection, it's the place information is stored for other connections

[civic hinge]

Hey, so... Ive got some questions regarding permission checks...

Send message

Checks if the bot has the permission
if (message.guild.me.permissions.has("SEND_MESSAGES"))
Checks if it has permission for that channel
if (message.channel.permissionsFor(message.guild.me).has("SEND_MESSAGES"))
Are those correct/enough?

Managing roles

Checking if the bot can manage roles
if (message.member.guild.me.permissions.has("MANAGE_ROLES"))
Then after that I check to see its hierarchy and only if the bots role is higher will I add the role

Would that be enough to make sure roles are always able to be assigned if if has permissions and doesnt error out?

[feral aspen]

So how can I initiate a connection to my database?

Since createConnection() wouldn't work, either.

[earnest phoenix]

That should be enough, it's correct as well

[earnest phoenix]

The current way is the createConnection() function, does it throw an error? What's the problem with it exactly?

[feral aspen]

It's deprecated.

You can see how it's also deprecated: https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/LkeHugBFZN .

[earnest phoenix]

I think they screwed up the way they're explaining how it'll be treated and what you should use

[feral aspen]

Yeah, unfortunately.

[earnest phoenix]

Where even are you reading that from?

It's not on TypeORM's README

[civic hinge]

thanks for the response 🙂

hmm thats good to know but strange because there are a few odd times when it errors out, i get a "missing access" when dealing with the roles, which I dont understand

[earnest phoenix]

That error usually occurs when the bot doesn't have access to a channel, settings tab, feature, or anything similar

I suppose in this case it's probably the channels, the bot also needs the VIEW_CHANNEL permission to view the channel in the first place

[civic hinge]

Well, what if a bot can already read a persons message? would it not already be able to view the channel?

[earnest phoenix]

In that case yes, it's able to view the channel; if it's not because of the channels then it's caused by one of the others I mentioned

[civic hinge]

hmm okay thank you, i'll debug it a bit more and check to see what permission it might be

still rate limited dang, i should fix that code asap

what yall do to run the command slowly and assign roles slowly not to get rate limited

ECS is melting my brain

just wrote 314 lines of code, the render system works first try

But now I'm wondering how I'm meant to actually use the ECS

[nimble cobalt]

Ecs sucks , it happens with me too

[wheat mesa]

I'm trying my very best to avoid OOP type stuff

[earnest phoenix]

So I'm currently hosting my site and on the DNS records my Content on cloudfare is 35.186.245.55 for repl hosting but how do I change that so I can host it on vsc?

[quartz kindle]

hosting on vsc? or you mean hosting on vps?

[earnest phoenix]

vsc

well

putting it on vsc and then making it connect to the domain

then i host it on my vps

[quartz kindle]

well you'd need to run a webserver on your pc, then you'd need to port forward your router, then point the dns records to you pc's ip address

[earnest phoenix]

alr thanks

[quartz kindle]

hence its recommended to go directly to vps

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah

[quartz kindle]

you can test your website on your pc without the domain

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

[quartz kindle]

just by going to localhost

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

[sharp geyser]

It is highly recommended to make a DataSource now and initiate it

Unless you are talking about something else when creating a connection to your database

import { DataSource } from 'typeorm'

const datasource = new DataSource({
  host: blah
  user: blah
})

await datasource.initialize() // or initiate can't remember

[earnest phoenix]

I don't use TypeORM so better to tell that to the other guy asking it

[sharp geyser]

right

@feral aspen use this ^

Twas a message and someone deleted it :c

[hidden gorge]

what is GATEWAY_GUILD_MEMBERS Intent and GATEWAY_MESSAGE_CONTENT intent?

[quartz kindle]

this

[hidden gorge]

thanks

funny (atrocious) typescript/typechecking moments: js let resolver; const promise = new Promise(resolve => { resolver = resolve; }) resolver() // error using variable before assignment ```js
let resolver;
const promise = new Promise(resolve => {
resolver = resolve;
})
(() => resolver())() // works

[sharp geyser]

Makes sense

Although wouldn't that error since there is no semi after defining what promise is?

[quartz kindle]

yes it would lel

but ignoring that, both work fine in js

but for some reason ts doesnt see the variable defined if you use it directly

even tjough it is

but if you wrap it in something, then suddenly it sees the definition

[sharp geyser]

ts is weird like that, it doesn't recognize what it's new type is even after reassignment

I've had times where I had to cast what it should be after reassignment cause it still think it is it's original definition

[quartz kindle]

shit like this is why i hate ts

[sharp geyser]

I'm really hating rust rn

I am starting to think trying to make a parser is a bit too much for a beginner

even with a well displayed book on how to do it

[quartz kindle]

lel

im not even gonna start with rust

[sharp geyser]

I mean rust looks nice and I do really love it

But sometimes it's concepts can be a pain to wrap my head around

[lament rock]

something about not knowing the callback is called on the same loop

because if it wasn't called immediately, then that would error

[sharp geyser]

Borrowing and ownership was a circus for me

lifetimes also make virtually no sense to me

[split hazel]

rust mfs realizing you cant own something in a computer

[sharp geyser]

No but I can own you

[quartz kindle]

user with root/admin account: I OWN YOU

[sharp geyser]

tim do you like cashews?

[split hazel]

now im trying to figure out why my diffie hellman exchange produces two completely different secrets

stupid database

stupid c++

[quartz kindle]

why are /tenor and /giphy not available on mobile dafuq

[split hazel]

stupid openssl

[sharp geyser]

cause they do it to anger you

[quartz kindle]

angery

[sharp geyser]

I was thinking of looking at C

but I am unsure if I wanna go down that rollercoaster yet

so far I think ima stick with rust for a while and see what I can accomplish

[quartz kindle]

make a bot in rust

and be ahead of the competition

[split hazel]

i would use c if it wasnt for the fact is has like no built in features

[sharp geyser]

I honestly could but I am not smart enough yet to do anything advance in rust

I haven't even interacted with dbs yet

[sharp geyser]

beauty of C make the features yourself

[quartz kindle]

love reinventing wheels

[sharp geyser]

isn't that what you do with C?

make everything yourself even if it has already been made

[split hazel]

i have a bunch of objects written in c for my os so I can use them but i dont know how reliable they are yet

so i only use them for my os

[sharp geyser]

you'll find out

when ur OS crashes

[quartz kindle]

os = operation speedy

[sharp geyser]

top secret shit tim how'd you know?

[split hazel]

here it is https://github.com/SpeedyCraftah/speedy-os/blob/master/src/cpp/structures/map.h

[sharp geyser]

looks like we gotta take you out

[split hazel]

i also written a flexible array class

and no my os isnt dead i work on it all the time i just dont update the repo 💀

[sharp geyser]

looks rather dead

4 months since last commit

smh

[split hazel]

last change was like 4 days ago lol

if i worked on my os every day id go insane

[sharp geyser]

Isn't that what happened to TempleOS dood

[split hazel]

i still have a bug to fix

that guy was insane before he even made it

[sharp geyser]

@quartz kindle never answered my question on whether you like cashews

smh

[quartz kindle]

meh

i like cashew juice and cashew nuts, the fruit not so much

windows suffers a bsod, mac suffers a kernel panic, speedyos suffers an operation speedy

:^)

[split hazel]

i also did what most computer science majors cant do https://github.com/SpeedyCraftah/speedy-os/blob/master/src/cpp/structures/linked_array.h

[sharp geyser]

make bad code?

[split hazel]

no

make a linked list

[quartz kindle]

naisu

why cant they do it?

[split hazel]

btw i let copilot write a single function for me for the linked list and it completely fucked it up

i wasnt paying attention so i just went "ok"

even copilot cant make a linked list

[quartz kindle]

lel

[split hazel]

copilot absolutely sucks with c/c++/assembly

it cant even move a number into a register in assembly without fucking it up

[winged linden]

Still rate limited dang

[split hazel]

[quartz kindle]

learning about typescript+jsdoc shenanigans

before (tons of type errors)

after

have to add extra variables to type cast stuff correctly

otherwise you have to do shit like (type bla (type unknown (value)))

[sharp geyser]

👀

can't you just give type to timeout and then add the values you need then set timer to timeout?

why make a new variable

[quartz kindle]

adding properties to existing objects is a pain

typescript first complains that property X does not exist in object Y

then you type X with & { props }

and it complains object Y cannot be assigned to type X with props because it lacks the new props

[sharp geyser]

tf

[quartz kindle]

ex ```js
type bla = Error
const myvar: bla = new Error()
myvar.code = 10 // error, type bla does not have prop "code"

type bla = Error & { code: number }
const myvar: bla = new Error() // error, Error object does not have prop "code"

one way to fix is type bla = Error & { code?: number } but i dont want code to be optional, because then i have to type guard it everywhere

another way is to do shit like const myvar: bla = new Error() as unknown as bla

but in jsdoc syntax it looks like hell

cannot simply do const myvar: bla = new Error() as bla because it errors again with "object Error cannot be assigned to bla because its missing property code"

[sharp geyser]

I mean one hacky way to do it is to override Error

[quartz kindle]

well yes, in some places i have a class that extends error

but i dont wanna to that for every single little thing

[sharp geyser]

I don't mean by extending it

[quartz kindle]

well i dont think jsdoc has that

The @override tag indicates that a symbol overrides a symbol with the same name in a parent class.

[sharp geyser]

Ah I see

[quartz kindle]

only works for stuff with the same name

[sharp geyser]

There's gotta be a better way to do it

[split hazel]

welcome to typescript

you spend more time trying to fix language issues rather than writing code

[quartz kindle]

yup

i switched type checking to strict (i thought i already had it on, turns out i didnt)

and i got 100+ errors

lmao

[split hazel]

a statically typed language running on a dynamically typed language just doesnt work well

[quartz kindle]

yeah

well im not using full typescript

im using type checked js with jsdoc

[wheat mesa]

I think ts is fine

if you're fighting the compiler a ton then you're either doing something obscure or doing something wrong

[quartz kindle]

i often do obscure things

[split hazel]

same

[wheat mesa]

for the average program ts is very helpful

dynamic typing is good in moderation imo

[split hazel]

you cant lie though ts limits the full potential of javascript

[wheat mesa]

because it's supposed to

[quartz kindle]

like taking variables out of their scopes, ie promise resolvers and http req/res objects

[wheat mesa]

that's the tradeoff

[split hazel]

whether its for the better or worse

[wheat mesa]

you sacrifice unsafe assumptions for a safer type system

for obscure/advanced things, sure, probably gets in the way. For things like react and any sort of API wrapper? A miracle

[quartz kindle]

i came across this article, and it explains exactly what i feel about ts very nicely https://gils-blog.tayar.org/posts/jsdoc-typings-all-the-benefits-none-of-the-drawbacks/

typechecked js in action:

[wheat mesa]

I really want to write my own mini ECS but this is hard :C

[quartz kindle]

it doesnt look half bad and its still 100% js meaning it will run without compilation

and ts can still do strict typechecking on it

best of both worlds
