Or you can use the TCP/IP stack, in which case you put the Application, Presentation, and Session cats on the same shelf :p

I actually use TCP/IP more nowadays, in university subjects, since it's closer to how you'd split the responsibilities, since generally teh application handles sessions and presentation tasks :p

right im here now
for this new Date(datetime string here) how i make so does in json file
north flax
The JS showing it has to do it. If you're gonna make it in a readable format in hte json file you will have to create hte json file that way
lilac patio
<script>
function updatelistleners() {
jQuery.ajax({
url: "http://site/data/np.php",
//force to handle it as text
dataType: "text",
async: true,
success: function(data) {
var json = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
jQuery('#viewer').text(json.track.current);
jQuery('#uptime').text(json.track.starttime);
}
});
}
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
setTimeout(function(){updatelistleners();}, 100);
// we're going to update our html elements / player every 15 seconds
setInterval(function(){updatelistleners();}, 10000);
});
</script>```this what i made RN
north flax
new Date(json.track.starttime), then look at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date to find out more about how to display it
small ermine

problem for me API doesnt like host i got
aka Radionomy API vs free website hosting
so thats why keeps bliping out
lilac patio
infinityfree, its kinda bad hosting for free

but thy lamated APIs callouts on thy dedi
problem is i dont have small dedi or something for it so im using that hosting
amber oasis
https://www.scaleway.com/ gets you cheap boxes to spin
lilac patio
<-- Money is issue here
i hardly dont get money, mostly been spend get MC server going
plus i need get domain too
so ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
all im doing is calling out this file then put data on site
but as ya see Radionomy doesnt like host of it
north flax
Based on laod speed, I'm guessing you haven't cached results.
Always cache results, else you ping their api's on EVERY pageload.
Not caching is probably against their policy, just as it is against ours.
Now, I haven't done anything to check conclusively, but I suspect you're not caching.
amber oasis
._. that's slow, 99% certainty it's uncached
north flax
Exactly
If Radionomy blocks your api calls, it's likely they've blocked the ip for sending too many requests.
amber oasis
Not had any issues with my docker swarm 
cinder spear
I run most of my stuff on OVH cloud
amber oasis
Yeah, I ran into issues getting swarm to run reliably there for some reason
also, my setup would be far more expensive on OVH cloud
cinder spear
it is quite a bit more expensive, you're right there

down side is idk how to catch it
amber oasis
Have you tried to 
amber oasis
no, that's not a cache
amber oasis
not "catch", but "cache"
amber oasis
google "php cache request"
lilac patio
says i can do this
header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate');
header('Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0', FALSE);
header('Pragma: no-cache');```not sure true
small ermine
I'm not a great dev
but to me, no-cache sounds like the opposite
of what you wanna do
amber oasis
That's client side caching, you need server side caching
small ermine
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
amber oasis
You have to
lilac patio
not dedi
small ermine
you know what that means?
lilac patio
its website hosting
small ermine
get some free hosting that isn't like that ๐
amber oasis
Caching can be file based
small ermine
i know a couple
amber oasis
You can't interface with the TMP API without caching acording to the API documentation
that's violating the TOS
north flax
Store it on your own server, only check the TruckersMP api every 1 minute. Do that on your server side.
That's the essence of serverside caching.
small ermine
๐
lilac patio
so saying store as file
north flax
That's one option, yes.
lilac patio
well idk how do that with like 3 or 4 APIs ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ

small ermine
how to cache a response from an API?
amber oasis
ok, one more pointer: https://github.com/gilbitron/PHP-SimpleCache
amber oasis
*Docker
and that's not Docker
Try reading a bit before saying "can't use x"
cause PHP SimpleCache doesn't even mention Docker
lilac patio
well docker / composer then i see composer.json
amber oasis
You can always use Composer
lilac patio
ik i can but site doesnt
lilac patio
like i sid its S***t hosting like i ammited
i cant go here buy hosting
and can run PHP
amber oasis
Spend some time learning before you build something usable
lilac patio
just needs custom coded it
lilac patio
for example if i use curl on there suspended my account for nothing
lilac patio
i had to use 000webhosting for all curl
cinder spear
you can do it at the webserver level too, if you don't want to program anything special for caching
nginx for example:
proxy_cache_path /tmp/nginx levels=1:2 keys_zone=API:5m inactive=30m; #store max 5 megs of data, drop when not been requested for 30 minutes
server {
..
location /tmpapi/ {
proxy_pass https://api.truckersmp.com/;
proxy_cache API;
proxy_cache_key $request_uri;
proxy_cache_valid 200 30m; #cache HTTP OK responses for 30 minutes
proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout invalid_header updating http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504; #use old cached response when TMP API returns an error, or there's already an updating request outgoing
}
}
and then you can just request localhost/tmpapi/v2/... on the server or yourserv.er/tmpapi/v2/... in your webpage's js
amber oasis
wouldn't quite work if he can't even use composer directly on the box 
cinder spear
true
but I'm like 110% against hosting that doesn't give you access to the webserver config anyway
especially 000webhost
amber oasis
He did specify that he has basically 0 budget
cinder spear
"In approximately March 2015, the free web hosting provider 000webhost suffered a major data breach that exposed almost 15 million customer records. The data was sold and traded before 000webhost was alerted in October. The breach included names, email addresses and plain text passwords ." (emphasis mine)
small ermine
hmph. Theres a couple of hosting places that have decent free things
cinder spear
yet to see a solid free host for anything that wasn't a favor from a friend who has a server
small ermine
ehh, there's a couple I guess
amber oasis
Usually it's bad stuff like 3v said
small ermine
yeah
amber oasis
Might set out on a new endeavour, replace my new monitoring with newer monitoring
cinder spear
my theory is that if a solid free service existed, it would be wildly popular
small ermine
yeah
cinder spear
I need to setup some monitoring to begin with
amber oasis
telegraf got an insane amount of supported modules
like, down to supporting Teamspeak for example
and you can use Chronograf, or Grafana for your graphing
As for the alerting, there's a lot of supported alerting backends supported, including just plain basic webhooks or slack webhooks

$(this).height(0).height(this.scrollHeight + 16); // Part with '+ 16' is not needed, but it looks better and there is no scroll bar then there :)

jq code: http://prntscr.com/itga2x
console: http://prntscr.com/itg9vj
cinder spear
arrow functions don't have their own this, they use the enclosing scope's this and arguments
in the first one, this refers to the element that triggered the click whereas in the second one this refers to whatever this is outside of the callbacks.
console.log(this); // 1
$('td').click(function(){ console.log(this); }); // 2
$('td').click(()=>{ console.log(this); }); // 3
1 will be the same as 3, 2 will be the <td> that was clicked

atm I try to design a responsive design for a web page. I can easily adjust the design by media queries, but I also need to adjust some click events of certain html elements (using js).
Both should be changed at the same particular viewport width.
Now the problem is... for the media queries, the scrollbars are included - but for $(window).width() which I'm using to retrieve the width in js does not include the scrollbars.
How can I make both refering to the same width so both the design and the events are changed at the same width?
amber oasis
also, forget about using JS, responsive design is best done in pure CSS
small ermine
^-^
wicked lava
Is there way to change event listeners using css? @amber oasis
amber oasis
no, but you don't need events for responsive design
use media queries
as well as flexbox and grid
wicked lava
I think I need to be more specific...
I have built a little month choice like this. Using media queries I made the choice items stack below each other if the viewport is smaller or equal 767px. That already works fine.
Now my idea was to collapse the non-selected choice items in the mobile version. They should be shown when I click on the active item and hidden once I click on the active item again.
So I need a click event listener on the active item.
But in the PC version the choice should be non-collapsible. So I need to detach the listener as soon as the page gets wider than 767px
opal arch
@wicked lava So make it easily with JS and hide/show it with CSS
If the resolution is higher than 767px, do not show the item. If the resolution is smaller, show it.
wicked lava
^ And this condition is problematic. How do I check whether the width is greater/less than 767px?
I already found $(window).width() but there I got the problem that it doesn't count the scrollbar while media queries do count the scrollbar.
cinder spear
so you want it to be a dropdown for mobile but list for PC despite the viewport size being the same?
wicked lava
No. The device doesn't matter for me, only the viewport size
cinder spear
I wouldn't detach the listener, but check window.innerWidth in the listener
otherwise you'll need to be attaching/detaching it on window.onresize
wicked lava
ah... window.innerWidth was what I needed :D
I also just found another way: not checking the window size, but checking the css properties that I change with the media queries. If the property is one that I only apply on the small version, then the window is obviously smaller than 767 px.
Thank you three for your help ๐
cinder spear
yeah you could also use that
like if you have a tracking pixel (1x1 image that only shows for tracking purposes), could change that based on media queries and check its propertiess

So, I get provided with a link to both the TMP profile and the Steam profile. I can pull the IDs from that, and check the TMP API for that user. Then I can check if the Steam IDs match up. If they do, I can look at the hours the person played on ATS and ETS2 through the Steam API.
tidal zodiac
That is correct but all you really need is their Steam ID. You can pull their TruckersMP info from the TruckersMP API with their Steam ID. And just note to pull their hours from Steam their profile needs to be set to public
small ermine
Oh does that work too?
I was using the TMP API to double check the Steam ID
Since the user has to provide both steam and TMP links so that the other people can click it, is there a way to pull just the IDs from the links they give?
ember canyon
Elaborate?
small ermine
The user sets their TMP and Steam profile links in their profile on my site. Is there a way to turn those links into just the IDs before sending it to the API?
ember canyon
Ah, I think I get you. So you are wanting the user to input there profile link & then you want to get the data from the API?
small ermine
Yeah, well they save the links to their account, but I want the info from the API to find hours played, so I don't need the full link, but it's good to keep the full link xD
They save the profile links, and the IDs on their own are needed only behind the scenes to get the data from the APIs
They can still see the links
ember canyon
Right. ๐ค
small ermine
๐ not the best at explaining it
But basically, I want to grab their link, and get just the ID from it before using the API
ember canyon
Right.

Little fun hack to get the number in a url if it's known to only contain the ID of the user: filter_var($url, FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT)
If you input https://truckersmp.com/user/50 to that function call, you'll get 50 out
If you enter https://truckersmp.com/user/50?123 you'll get 50123 so the ID has to be alone in the URL
small ermine
Awesome!
amber oasis
You'll see the forums pass the full World of Trucks URL to get their plates
behind the scenes, that's what I do
small ermine
Ahh sweet! I'll give it a go
amber oasis
You are relying on the fact that the user provides a correct url without any extra fuzz
the plates api doesn't really cause any issues if it's incorrect, hence naรฏvely doing it that way
if it results in an invalid call, it'll still be cached, so no extra load is exerted on WoT
amber oasis
yes
amber oasis
basically the understanding I have with SCS is as long as WOT API don't cause any issues to them, it's ok
small ermine
Cool!
Can I also use your API to check any current bans?
I read the docs but I got slightly confused xD
small ermine
That's good
But can I still check if the player has current active bans using the TMP API?
๐
Spelling on point
amber oasis
It's not accurate iirc
amber oasis
I vaguely remember the API not making it clear if a ban has expired in some edge cases
small ermine
Ah okay
wicked lava
When using the tracker.ets2map.com/v3/playersearch api, how often may I call it per minute whithout having to worry about an api ban?
amber oasis
Assume same as api.truckersmp.com
small ermine
Now then
got your TMP API workin
I'm having trouble getting the hours played on the STEAM API for one specific game
๐
oh wait
nope that just broke it XD
opal arch
It is by Steam. What have you been expecting?
wicked lava
@amber oasis And what is it for api.truckersmp.com? ๐
small ermine
convert minutes into hours w/ php? not working ๐
opal arch
$hours = $minutes / 60;
wicked lava
why not
opal arch
wut?
small ermine
I have this array from json_decoding the API stuff
i only want the playtime_forever
on its own
howwww
opal arch
$array[0]->playtime_forever?
small ermine
yeah, thanks ๐
opal arch
No problem โค

Reminds me of my forum signature
opal arch
Oh, God. I will not login there ๐ ๐
small ermine
๐
opal arch
GDPR, do not forget!
small ermine
I can get it to do that from profile links
๐
it's non-identifiable data!!!!!!!
๐
anyway
it'll pull the integer IDs from the profile links, put that into there, and pull the hours played
then put it in the db
opal arch
But I store IPs of InsertSecretHere ... I think I should do something ๐
opal arch
I store so many data about users ... :/ ๐

How to stalk users

When you implement stuff too late

small ermine
xD
wicked lava
Why do you need 2 bytes for a value that can't even reach 255? Does that make sense?
amber oasis
Thats the only time in computing where future proofing something makes sense ๐
When eg. .bmp was made, the norm was black and white monitors
they couldn't foresee what color depth would be useable in the future
And it can reach a value of 0xFF, but it won't make any sense, as your monitor won't be able to display it
wicked lava
I wonder if anyone still uses Bitmaps when we are able to display such a high color deep ๐

Well i think it's borked lool https://i.sgtbreadstick.tk/DeL3MhXi.png
ahh right so the caching failed
yeah deffo went wrong https://i.sgtbreadstick.tk/BQ03qowI.png
it should look like this with no caching, but i need to figure out how to make it cache https://i.sgtbreadstick.tk/arw2BvQ0.png
opal arch
Speedlimiter is actually everywhere ๐
amber oasis
Use fileinfo() to get the last write time ;)
rich flint
Well it's all done thanks to StuartD helping out. https://api.sgtbreadstick.tk will now get the TMP Server Status API and chache it every minute :3
well
as soon as someone visits it or it is being used by another site it will grab the API but it will be cached for others when they visit during that minute, if nothing uses it, it won't cache or grab anything
rich flint
๐ซ Why do this to me Github https://i.sgtbreadstick.tk/zj2BJQGM.png

Why are you using the Desktop tool... use the command line
rich flint
I find desktop one easier to use tbf

https://github.com/SgtBreadStick/TruckersMP-Status Updated to v1.2

I forgot about doing the release and just did it today lool
but yeah v1.2 is out, have a look ๐
And before you complain it's cached via my API
https://sgtbreadstick.tk/beta/ If you wanna see a preview of it

https://puu.sh/zWV9i/5d0a532da0.png Looks awful on PC as well ๐
rich flint
๐
amber oasis
pretty slow
amber oasis
took a good second at least on first load
amber oasis
it's a symptom that something is wrong, perhaps your cache is hanging for example ๐
in certain cases you could for example opt to serve stale data
wicked lava
Isn't it normal that the first load takes a bit longer? I mean... before it can be cached, it needs to be loaded at least once ๐ค
Or do I get sth wrong?
rich flint
it's going from the API to a MySQL database and then it loads the info from the database and every minute (if there's a visitor) it will refresh the data
plus there's the CSS, JS, FA and that stuff as well to load too
however for the API itself, it seemed to have taken about 100ms-200ms to load
even after clearing all cache and stuff
amber oasis
@wicked lava first load is normal to be longer yes, but he had already had someone else open the page, in which case, serving stale data is possible too
TMP does that somewhere
I think it was for the time endpoint, where it's not a huge issue if stale is displayed
might also be on the servers endpoint itself
north flax
Servers endpoint ye, caches for 1 min and serves cache isntead of db data
ember canyon
@rich flint You should use curl instead of file_get_contents ๐
rich flint
i haven't tried curl so idk
also i had to update my DNS on my pc to google's just to access discord -_-
ember canyon
good thing about curl is that is has a timeout so you could say after 1 or 2 seconds of not getting an answer from the server it will stop trying. file_get_contents will try forever and takes about 60 seconds for that to timeout
small ermine
Hey I'm testing something out and I'm getting a Fatal error: call to undefined function password_verify()
I'm using PHP 7.2.4 for it
It all used to work ๐
rich flint
this any good? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16700960/how-to-use-curl-to-get-json-data-and-decode-the-data
well obviously the password_verify() isn't defined by looks of that tbh
rich flint
hmm
small ermine
Yeah
It's worked before
Like yesterday ๐
I set it up properly
It's worked for weeks and weeks
So I have no idea why it isn't working
small ermine
I would but it's supported by any PHP over 5.something and I'm on the latest xD
rich flint
try 7.1
rich flint
working on 7.1?
wicked lava
speaking of windows 10 updates
sometimes when my windows tries to look for updates automatically I get a bluescreen
rich flint
rip
https://sgtbreadstick.tk/beta/v1.2/ i changed it to cURL and everything seems good
ember canyon
yup, works alot faster for me ๐

is this alright for the actual API thing (api.sgtbreadstick.tk)? https://i.sgtbreadstick.tk/edDjZluG.png

small ermine
Fairly simple way to check if it's new enough data
Awesome
Been meaning to figure that out
rich flint
small ermine
Ouch
I've had problems with things like that before, I couldn't figure it out so I always completely remade the repo or whatever

Use the command line...
That desktop tool is as if you built your website using wix ๐คข Easy but bad style
amber oasis
that's a terrible error message
You essentially need to know the github desktop app to be able to help someone with that error
shy swan
I used that Desktop versions before... then I switched to command line because you never get errors 
amber oasis
Not working with git that deeply then
rich flint
I've no clue how to use command line tbh
i know the fix to that
i just gotta delete the "/.git/refs/heads/v2.0" file and it should fix the issue
north flax
Google "git <what you want to achieve>"
If you use something regularly you'll learn it by heart quickly
amber oasis
git commandline isn't very hard to pick up
north flax
Ye, it's usually along hte lines of git <term for what you want to do> or git <term for what you want to do> <name> <add/remove/edit> or something like that
i.e. git commit. It's pretty simple to guess when you know the terminology :p
small ermine
Righty, I'm back ๐
rich flint
gg

but i think me randomly typing has figured it out ๐

Wow my status page has gone from this

pro-tip: don't self host FA
And while you're at it, upgrade to 5.x: https://fontawesome.com/get-started
Your site is fairly slow to respond with the assets
small ermine
i should use FA instead of these glyphicons ๐
amber oasis
either works, pick your favourite ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
cinder spear
self hosting assets available from a CDN is only a good idea as a fallback
client has blocked the CDN? Load it from your own instead
it's a rare case though
rich flint
i don't use FA 5 because many icons i used before were taken to this stupid "Pro License" and $60 is not what i'll pay for something that was free
also why is it bad to self-host FA?
wicked lava
Using a CDN is faster
amber oasis
By using a CDN, you are more likely that the user has it in cache already
rich flint
ahh
amber oasis
for popular libraries like FA and Jquery, that's a very good idea
rich flint
well jquery is also self hosted, should i put that on a CDN too?
rich flint
well yeah
amber oasis
