I'm fine with the colors for some things, but some parts are just ugly
The font on the logo sucks
Companies need to learn to leave their products alone if no ones complaining
And the invites
I haven't seen the invite font on my client
The & is rly bad
I really hate the attitude discord has of "we no longer consider ourselves a gaming voice platform" so lets change everything to be more "inclusive".
Still no update π
Oo 199k
They've actually become less inclusive imo, since now it looks like a platform for 7 year old kids, no adults
Only 919 more
Like accessibility issues I see, and I think they should add toggles.
With this update they should add toggles and gradually change I think.
I mean at this point the number of 7 year olds probably outweighs the number of adults tbh
IMO it's not even kid, it's ugly.
And I think its against TOS for anyone under 13 to have an account.
But I think that's besides the point lol
They probably thing its a new marketing scheme or something to eventually make this platform profitable
Clyde has new faces to be able to sell merch.
okay
I think I'm about ready
i thiiiink
whoever is throwig reqs at humans.txt can stop pls ty
okay deploying final version of challenge v2
hmmm
fixing some
art
okay, we're ready I think
@daring jay @delicate lion @wide totem https://challenge.pythondiscord.com/
Smh u hate my script
Am I a machine?
No ur a prohibited ip
That's pretty cool
That's fast
lol
I can't get past the first one
well, where do machines go
various places
to find those places
Oh I'm somewhere
got it, time to smash my computer open with a hammer
lmfao
Ugh
hahaha
I'M STUCK
me too lol
lol
Apparently that's some place in the congo river
DM you what?
where you are
is he further or at the same step as me
same
I think we're all stuck on it
hahhaa
^
joe I don't wanna deal with weird ass ascii
hahaha
its the one with the text stuff, right?
we're all stuck on that one
||it's a very basic form of encryption||
π
I have not thought this much about numbers since like, idk when
well it's not a shift cipher
||and there are two sets of integers, one on each line||
I got that much
||maybe the second set is a key||
well, everyone figured out what the second set of integers was
but the first one seems... encrypted
maybe the second set is an encryption key to the first set
meanie
hahahaha nice
now tf comes next
hahaha
have u just not put content there
I hate my keyboard
that's the easiest one
no π it was mean
hahahaha
This is haaard
hmm, i don't get the easiest one lol
google is your friend
It might take a quick google
have you read the hitchikers guide to the galaxy?
if not shame on you
I haven't
then shame upon you
how are you doing with the next one @delicate lion
not good
hahaha
GOT IT
the next one is hard too lol
hahah
which one? dm joe to check if we're equal or not
Ugh
oh
hmm, i am that numbers one, i figured out the second one, but the first one looks uhh
see
rh
||key, hmmm||
Dawn, DM me the URL you are on?
DM URLs, not here
^^
i'm on the one that joe will say in comparison to others
still stuck on that one
u know the one
its got text on the page
I have to go, but I'm still on the same one
jk that's all of them
gosh, this is hard
yeet
π, DM me if you wanna continue anytime
jason which are you on dm joe
See ya
darned @delicate lion
hm this one is confoozling too
it ain't me
tell me your secrets kosa
kosa is offline hmmm
some random letters and shit
ah I am stuck
I AM LOST
how many after the one im on joe
uhhh, maybe?
I don't see any errors there
I must be dumb
i agree
which one are you on? DM me
Hmm
oop
no challenge deets :)
:0
idek what I've done
I'M STUCK ON THE ONE WITH TXT
granted i was stuck on the last one too
my google searches are weird rn
same one
next one
damn
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<internal exec>", line 2, in <module>
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xaf in position 12: invalid start byte
lol
okay nope. Going to bed.
lol
I figured out the answer to one and now I'm just π
hahahaha
if you wanna resume tomorrow ask for hints!!! i did try and be somewhat educational
can confirm
β¦
zip do dah de
bruh this is so fun
hello!
hey
the first one was fun to figure outtt
and the second one was already pretty simple
I'm going to head to bed now, but I have added a couple of hints to stages people hit snags on, just make sure to look deep at requests and responses for them π

that was fun
looks like he left a hint for you guys
I have learned something haha
what was fun
i'm lost but i think i got the spirit
ah
if anyone wants to drop questions in my DMs feel free to and I'll answer in the morning
lol
what do i even do
lol, you must be having fun with the variety of requests
where do machines go?
refresh the page, just changed that a bit
be sure not to discuss challenge answers here π
lol
:(
i see now
alr
:)
have a google around robots and the internet
inb4 someone writes an AI to solve the challenge for them
surely that's technically the right answer \π©
I should do more things like this haha
how far are you in
i cant even solve the fiirst one
i'm stuck in the one that was given to me by a quote
lookup robots webpages or something π
yeah i know i dmed you
i did
ill go through wikipedia again
mmmmmmmmm I'll have to call it quits on this one
I'm just hoping the congratulatory page wasn't another challenge
hahaha
can i get some hints D:
DM me
1st
DONE
noice man
i got stuck on one for a while
i did it too
just came back
which one dm me
yeah i wanted to know which one you were stuck in
i am at the cipher one
the answer to life bla bla bla?
^
on a later stage joe reccomends a pretty good tool for encryption/decryption
check the source for each page
i am the binary ciphertext and stuf
same
yeah google is your friend
The Cyber Swiss Army Knife - a web app for encryption, encoding, compression and data analysis
joe. go to bed.
written by our intelligence service
yeah that
lol, fact
It's late for me
i actually have been looking for something like that
good find
so yeah that'll probably help a lot
Can't wait to see how distracted everyone is at the staff meeting trying to get through this
yep
hahahah yeah I was gonna bring it up towards the end of the meeting lol
joe mama
love these kinds of riddles
lmfao
Mmmmm
joe can you share this
he has
I did here
lol ya it's in the source as well now
I already did it π
with a hint on like every question from joe
ffs not another binary
I think I asked for one hint and it turned out I needed to refresh the browser cause ||ajax is weird??||
which one was this one
gibe number
btw what is the use for the key in the ciphertext
that's what you've gotta figure out haha
||one of the response headers wasn't showing up for me and i also had to refresh||
wait I actually had a fun idea for a website users could create puzzles like this one with paths on the site and have the option to add hints to the next one in different places like headers text and other stuff
and they wouldn't have to actually make the site themselves
no like in general.. what are keys for ciphers?
they can be anything
ciphertext is encrypted text, key is the encryption key
become a project lead for pydis challenges
the key is what the text is manipulated by to make it "encrypted" so to speak
oh
lol sounds fun
check #community-meta
There are tons of different keys and ways to encrypt things and it gets pretty bonkers pretty fast
I like reading about it
oh yes... salt
we sort of have the idea on the back burner to look into hosting challenges, but that plan is much more about Python solutions than just generic cryptography, computer science and web dev stuff
cryptography challenges are fun but other places also do them fairly well
i was scrolling through a web page with a list of known encryption methods for like 10 minutes
I've been thinking about redoing some of the old AoC challenges
it gets insanely crazy really fast
ya, this
or... finishing what I didn't do in 2020
Yeah, when we can get through the next code jam and get the one after rolling we'll probably have time to look at the Python Challenges project we've wanted to do
imho they don't all have to be python related. Some could be other related because its fun
I'm thinking maybe it'd be a little difficult to make it specific to Python
hopefully if it becomes a thing expert knowledge in python isn't required
The python challenges thing we have envisioned would be a learning experience more than anything
A fun way to sort of level up python knowledge
I've had it in my head to do a Python Koans thing, but only so much time, so it's on the backburner
yeah

hopefully it's nothing like the LinkedIn assessments
it was pretty fun to get into all of the stuff we did today
I learned like a single thing I'll never use in my life hahaha
no not really
how many have solved it so far
i learned that ppl can add whatever fuckin ||headers|| they want to ||response headers||
I have
yay i got the cipher one
so 1.9k have tried? or is this unrelated
around 15 have solved and let me know
no, the service has just had 1.9k requests
ah i see
geez that's a lot of requests though
this does not sound so fun anymore
ooh i got that error by going to .env
the amount of error counts goes up
AoC too big brain for me
https://pydis.com/.env causes a huge error
shit
embeds
i saw that
I saw that embed.
saw that
You monster.
that did not go as planned
wait, did anyone see that or no?
encase links with <>
excuse me
reeeeee
yes it do
wow thanks I had no idea at this point
oh no problem
wow.
sniffle sniffle
thought you would want to know since we saw that embed
:L
α΅Κ³α΅Λ‘ΚΈ α΅ α΅α΅Λ’α΅ α΅αΆ α΅α΅Κ³ α΅βΏα΅Κ·Λ‘α΅α΅α΅α΅
this is literally the only code i've written all day
ah. there's no squint emoji
hey why can't i see hypesquad on the menu anymore
π¦ best I got
this account is new and i dont have any badge
works for me
I'm making a duck game π
i wrote a little program to subtract binary
nice
for the uh duck related thing
thats weird i dont see it
likely story
Settings and then all the way at the bottom
oh its close to change log
ye
cool
my skills at pygame graphics are unmatched π
lmfao there was one Discord game that I kinda liked
CyberDuck 2021
the one with the hats
oh yes
remember when discord had a store and nitro gave you free games?
I wish I had anything special
YEAH ME NEITHER!
well not exactly
it's still there but Nitro doesn't give you anything
i mean the stickers that are here
changing it up at least
like the purchasable ones yeah
Hey A Real Username,
We have some important updates on the future of stickers, and weβre reaching out because youβve purchased or claimed stickers in the past.
First, we want to say thank you for using stickers! We have learned a lot and youβve helped us get even closer to introducing stickers to Discord worldwide.
So, whatβs changing?
In short? Weβre making our stickers a Nitro exclusive, and servers will be able to upload custom stickers with Boosting.
It works like this: When a server gets enough Boosts to unlock Level 1, server admins will be able to upload custom stickers. All server members can use custom stickers in the server, and Nitro subscribers will be able to use them anywhere on Discord.
As for our most loved Discord sticker packs, theyβll be included in Nitro and you can keep using them as long as youβre subscribed.
How this impacts you:
As of today, the sticker shop is closing for business, and 15 days from now we will remove any stickers you have claimed or purchased.
You will receive a full refund for all sticker purchases within 30 days. If you do not see your refund after 30 days, please contact our support team at https://dis.gd/support.
For more on why weβre making these changes, check out Stickers FAQ at our Help Center: https://support.discord.com/hc/articles/1500008542422
We canβt wait to bring stickers to everyone on Discord. Stay tuned.
so getting rid of stickers as we know them
sorryNotSorry for the wall of text
Custom stickers! Custom stickers! I am excited for custom stickers!
as some people know them
they're just giant emojis
lol
they're marketable, glorified gifs.
how sad. all of these Discord games are Windows only
Exactly! I can make the detailed animated emojis I've wanted to make
fair enough
truly though, larger emojis with more view area is something we've wanted for a while
emoji but more obnoxious
what the fuck lol
i had a game in my library i never dl
i just dl it by accident
i try to launch it
and
hey did slowmode go
CALCULATOR OPENS
this is ot
OT2 never has a slowmode
only ot0 has slowmode
*not ot0
ah i see
which is why it's objectively worse
whatever
well except that @wheat aurora is here so she might add slowmode π
its not even that active
i actually haven't used #ot0-fear-of-python in over a week lol
Well, the thing is... slowmode annoys me in that I can't edit messages with the sed-like-replace
aside from one accident
I think we added like 2 ot names just today
you know the s/from/to
ikr s/t/o is annoying
i actually have gotten ratelimited because of it
lmfao I need to use it more
I think I need to start learning how to properly type and all that
i'll send o loooooooooooooooooooong text ond chonge the one thing to updote
wait slowmode prevents editing of text?
no
all this subtle pressure to use Vim and i3 \π©
lol
no
send:
hi
s/hi/ho
seperate messages
enclose your text with two &'s
on pc
&hmm what&
with two
&&hmm what&&
that's not part of discord...
ye
weewoo weewoo
TOS TOS
oh no the discord police has come
wah wah
injecting a little js in the vein has never killed someone cmon
's the best we're gonna get tbh
smh against tos and also against this server rules
wait it is?
yes
yes
i'm betting if u uninstall rn it you'll be forgiven
Repent
which honestly is basically repenting
@delicate lion do u use linkeasy?
aw cmon i use a thing for disabling animations cause it lags my pc
no what's that
oh wait i typed that wrong i meant linkjoin
Pretty sure that's already a setting
reduced motion doesnt disable everything
getpocket
fine fine
linkjoin and getpocket are very different things lol
disables a damn lot of it
can i get hints for the dev tools one
yes
dev tools is the hint, really
Google "devtools"
fine people i removed it
yay
likely story
okay geez
lol
i dont lie
did
wait
did discord also change the green
along with blurple
reveal the number let me call u
yeah
write that down write that down
NOOOO
oh yes apparently King of the Hat is supposed to release on Steam this year
beware, making calls to brazil can lead into the creation of portals to hell
write that down write that down
most of the links aer just chrome devtools...
OR FIREFOX
ye
how does one access chrome devtools
electronβ’οΈ
uh
hate electron
I too can control my shit
tbh I wonder how difficult it is to create a chat protocol
but why talk like yoda about it
not hard
HAHAHA I didn't even realize the typo you made
"CTRL SHIT I"
done
:c
oh shtfu
ah got it nice
2 years later
dude
kidding
oh god i used to say
twitter is so mad at the rebrand
lol
Your first mistake was going on Twitter
get ratio'ed kiddo
fuck the shut up
inseed of
shut the fuck up
at least my icon here hasn;t changed
inseed
i dont think you could tell the difference
Tell me that's Windows
yes
:faint:
this conversertion is not going well for me today
i literally read these the exact same way
That was a joke, I swear
haha maybe i should switch to manjaro
i would say it outloud π
NO
or maybe kali
but i have no experience, so maybe i should try out arch
you what
nvm they're back
I accidentally clicked something to hide all members
because I face keyboarded
discord now is bad
ctrl u
we should move to guilded
dictch your place to talk, get guilded
discord changed the position of their sidebar by 1px
lets start our on matrix server
because discord bad!!
idek what matrix is
chat backend
oops. it's not https://www.matrix.io/, is it?
uh no
oh lord
Matrix (sometimes stylized as [matrix]) is an open standard and communication protocol for real-time communication. It aims to make real-time communication work seamlessly between different service providers, in the way that standard Simple Mail Transfer Protocol email currently does for store-and-forward email service, by allowing users with ac...
I preventively set up a Matrix server when people were saying Microsoft was about to buy Discord
xd
nope. too lazy to read any of this
you are 40 parallel universes ahead of us
well it was on my RPi
lmfao some guy used a self-bot to DM all his friends that he's moving to Telegram
it was like "Hi, Microsoft is buying Discord. I'm moving to Telegram, find me here:"
ofc a lot more than that... but sheesh
I find Telegram way too different to think of it as an "alternative"
you cant compare both
If ms buying discord could revert this shit branding change I am π― for it
what exactly do you dislike about the new rebrand
Pretty much everything
telegram is kinda between whatsapp and discord from what i understood in 2 days of using it
what you are talking..
i was skeptical at first but uh
im neutral now
considering it really doesnt affect us that much
THE FOOOOOOOOOOOONT
i 1OO**%** think the font sucks
could have kept the original one yes
but damn
5 years using the same thing
had to change it some day
To make money?
In the name of rebranding or some shit they are trying to nitrofy stuff
uh
Stickers are nitro only now
they're not now
Will be in 15 days
they will be soon
vpn..
to show you the power of open vpn
i virtually went to north korea
Aight
i'm not using a vpn just so i can use bigger emojis lol
I don't see anything wrong, no
um no
me neither...
other than the 2nd m not being capped
its instant
wot
when it creates the channel, it should change the topic right then
no
00:51 and 00:51
\π€
top of that selection it creates the channel
bottom of the selection it sets the topic
i dont think you can create and edit a channel topic at the same time
so it just breaks it up into two events
no u can
one event
pass the topic into the create_text_channel
ratelimits
topic="topic goes here"
bots get to edit the channel topic twice in 10 minutes
yes!
not edit it later
but there's another command that edits the topic which gets nerfed since we edit the topic here
but why do you need to edit the topic
it should create the topic at start
yes but you don't do that
because there's a different command feature that does that ;-;
channel = await self.bot.modmail_guild.create_text_channel(
name=format_channel_name(self.bot, recipient),
category=category,
overwrites=overwrites,
reason="Creating a thread channel.",
)
exactly
you need to add topic="topic here"
i'm making a pr to make it set the topic there
oh.
oooh
idek why it would be seperate
that makes sense
this bot is literally
any word sounds weird if you repeat it enough
wonky
async def send_genesis_message():
info_embed = self._format_info_embed(
recipient, log_url, log_count, self.bot.main_color
)
try:
msg = await channel.send(mention, embed=info_embed)
self.bot.loop.create_task(msg.pin())
self.genesis_message = msg
except Exception:
logger.error("Failed unexpectedly:", exc_info=True)```
this is where I might suggest a full rewrite hahaha
why are we catching all exceptions and not raising any errors?
love rewriting things
wanna help?
I don't honestly know much about Discord.py
other than how to go through the Discord.py API
i gotta get my things setup
I am unironically considering a full rewrite.
even though idfk who would use this bot
unless i can get them to merge the rewrite lol
i consider myself to be uh
it sounds incredibly simple tbh
well yes
Why does windows and Linux have separate venvs ;-;
but i mean in regard to my dpy knowledge
it mostly is honestly
adequate
I have not seen create_task in a while
Eww mongodb :(
ik
what kind of help
not what i would've chosen, but not what i can switch away from either
yes.
okie
Why do you have to use mongo
yay done
Ok
send yer code to joe
done
paru done
ok
no
surely that was funny
:/, yay > paru
i cant read PKGBUILDS
holy shit the fake png cracks me up
That's why I use arch - for yay
Lolol
lol
current project uses it and while i'd love to move away, 9k people use this project (at least) connected to mongodb
and each person has their own mongodb instance set up since its a self host
Ono
Elon maybe idk
currently 8971 bots set up and that's just the ones that have statistics on
@hazy laurel
wot
outta dms lets talk here while the convo is ripe
yes
u use mongo?
is mongo good
no
i got it from gh edu
i wouldn't say its bad
but i have a vps too so i can just host sql or postgres myself
oh yes
Apparently that's Professional-only
PyCharm also has some cool stuff for adding SSH stuff and sFTP
at least PyCharm Professional
Cool
so like if you wanted to do remote testing/deployment on VPS's, it's really easy
i have to renew mine
Student?
yea
Took me a month the first time
what gamer feature sdoes it have
The fuck
lolol
You mean it's gamer icons
@wide totem \π³
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14225-codetogether
what does gamer features even mean
absolutely nothing. it's dumb
ikr
Lutris moment
just use any distro as long as it works it isnt windows at least
zypper in lutris
oops now I have access to a ton of games
It takes too much time
Ah yes, Hana Montana linux
what
Then don't use arch
That's a dumb thing to say
it's only logical
I use garuda
but for why
Used to use
Garuda is fine, but arch is just better
Eh I wanted yay cuz I'm used to yay thanks to manjaro
it takes 10 minutes tops to install arch
paru is still better than yay \π©
And the best ootb thing I saw was garuda
Only if you've installed it before
Whtevee
Eww manjaro
eww manjaro
Indeed
anyway i wanted to install my python shit rn
Haha
\π₯² they grow up so fast
openSUSE Tumbleweed go broom broom
k
blocked and reported
Arch is pretty easy to install the second time around, when you've already suffered the first time
bruh
yes
lmfao I had to install openSUSE Tumbleweed with a microSD in a microSD->SD adapter
I want a new distro to daily drive
Tumbleweed, Tumbleweed
The fuck
dont judge me
No USB for opensuse?
i deadass dont have anything with me
i mean
i dont have a usb drive
to install it
giga brain
Ah ok
i mean
one of my brothers must've lost my flash-drive
You know, it's probably possible to just mount a separate partition and boot from that
idk how to do that
me neither
especially because im with only windows rn
damn i really feel bad now like i fucked up horribly.
but this is where you consult Doctor Google
fuck it ill try to boot it from my android phone
Yknow what, why not just rewrite Linux in Rust
Oh no
gnu is bloat
because that's what a masochist would do
lets rewrite the linux kernel in holy C
no
Lmao
yes
Holy C is unironically one of the most unholiest of languages
Fuck it, let's write a new language and rewrite Linux in that
lets rewrite linux in python
Pfft
what worked
what worjed
I MOUNTED MY ANDROID PHONE AS A FUCKING FLASH DRIVE
Yes we need context
k
USING MASS STORAGE
yes
Oh shit
I DEADASS MIGHT BE ABLE TO BOOT FROM THIS
I do that all the time
hm
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Flex :P
it's automatic, no?
what've I been doing this entire time if not that
to transfer photos and what-not
Yeah it's automatic
nah nah thats not what i mean
hmm
if you did that
Hmm indeed
the bios wouldn't recognize it
oh. I see
but mouting it as mass storage with root privileges
