#redirecting my domain to a yt vid

hi
hi
do you have some sort of advanced tab?
sorry i never used cf
you need a url redirect record
like here
yeah thats what this is
where you put your subdomain in host (@ if you want root) and redirect url in value
try all incoming requests
hold on maybe try this
alr
that’ll have the wrong behaviour i think
do this
and do static
yes
👍
maybe just add robots.txt to it blocking discord bots
wdym
what do bots have to do with it
discord bot visits the link
to get what metadata is there
and then display it as embed on discord
oh
do i need to have web hosting to stop that or?
is there a way to do it just with the domain
theres this stuff
but i havent found anything against embeds specifically
guess you need a site for that
sadge
maybe host a static page on github
then add your domain to that
so i just ran a quick test
if anyone sees this - i got the redirect but i wanna make it so only the domain shows when i send it on discord and not the yt vid embed
sorry got muted
tellinq came for rescue
i used a very popular ip saving solution
to "grab" discord bots user agent
you gotta make a robots.txt with that
User-agent: Discordbot/2.0
Disallow: /
User-agent: *
Allow: /
then you make a new github repo
i saw what u typed i have a (100% not against discord tos) message logger
nice
you could just download that youtube video and host it on your site
itll get embeded still
i didnt pay for the web host
js the domain
unless theres a free way to
host a site
cloudflare pages hosting is free
alr
or that
id use it over github
this?
ik how to
this one?
my site is hosted with cloudflare
yes
k i need to create a github then rq
surely there’s a way to hide that, no?
just fil the thing gang
i have brain damage
set the production branch to main
everything else u can leave blank for now since you’re not using a framework
there are no production branches.
or just do <link> tbh
leave it blank then
oh
ur repo is empty
thats why
tbh
well
do u want just the cat on ur website
or
do you want like an actual website
well my original plan was to just make it redirect to the youtube.com link but if i can make it from the actual ava.rip domain then that'd be better
u can do that but it’ll still embed
download the cat video and upload it to your ava repository on github titled just “cat.mp4” something like that
also make an index.html
zixus i’m not home can u type out the thing to show the cat
yes
jus to have it show on the front page
just a blank html called that?
and upload it
what is robots.txt
yes
txt file that bots adhere
mhm
they first check it on whether or not theyre allowed to get the site contents
they totally listen to it….
especially my ultra ai scraper 30000
without the other ui youtube stuff
<video> i think
i can’t type tht out on phone 😭
send your cat mp4
i changed it from the cat
sec
i have no ideas ill change it again later if i need to
do you need a border (frame) on it or something for more cool points
im a proffesional designer
if u can do that then sure
for cat videos
OPH WAIT
ive seen that cool tutorial
PLEASE LET ME DOTHAT
WITH CSS RULES
WHERE YOU DO LIKE SPOTLGITH GAUSIAN BLUR BG EFFECt
HELL YUEAHJ
!!!
im doing this instead of the cat.

ive seen it on tiktok
need to do asap!!!
thats so cool wtf

fr
im gonna turn into a spinning seal.
send the code
yeah thats because of debiation on blur
i put on github wait
testing embed before robots.txt commit... https://z1xus.github.io/tests9g
oh its not there
how sweet
so it works now or?
zen
see documentation
i have no idea what this means
i’m not home rn, i get back sunday, i can help u configure ur site and everything then if u still need help
what am i supposed to name it
oh ok
should it be proxied?
yes
k
eg., z1xus.com is root (@)
if you make a record with name cats and point it to some ip adress, cats.z1xus.com will point to that ip adress
so like this?
yes
now i just wait for it to update?
usually its faster
but it wont be immediate in all countries
or more accurate to say for all dnses
if your dns is cf should be very fasy
gives me this at the top
meaning your domain doesnt ahve an ssl certificate
either buy one from cloudflare
or make a free one with letsencrypt cli tools
the original site i bought the domain from (porkbun) says it does
does it not migrate with cloudflare?
i originally switched to cloudflare to use the redirect rule
maybe try disabling cloudflare proxying
okay
same error
should this be just ava.rip or something else aswell?
i could try switching back to porkbun original nameservers instead of using cloudflare
what happens if you remove and add it back
yeah try that
because in porkbun you didint set the a records
true.
even with it same error
yeah idk what to do
ig ill try to wait
@shrewd night same thing 😭
with porkbun
i cant fix it
im so done
i added the a records and the cnames i tried everything
it just wont work
maybe its set up but its just showing like it isnt idfk
cuz it shows this when i go to it
im gonna lose it
ok
@obsidian oracle do yk how to embed the vid
maybe it does work but its just not showing
u need some meta tags
is that easy to do
As your know, when you type a website address (for ex. https://youtube.com), you also send a Rich Embed message of site automatically. How can I set this for my website?
top answer
add it to the top of ur index.html
i
what
i want the video to display when u go to the domain
not just embed it in discord
u would use dis
video tag
if u have trouble writing that out urself u can just ask chatgpt “index.html that displays a centered video”
now the entire domain is fucked
i am so cooked 💔
nvm its not
someone help me 😭
ive been on this for more than 15 mins
@shrewd night I GOT IT
the only problem now is that the cool css thing vid is laggy
if u can fix that then that'd be awesome
how do i make it so that if u click the video it wont pause/resume
and how do i do that
lemme send u my current html
sec
so basically all of this gone and that
is what i want
i used chatgpt for everything i have no idea what allat means 😭
i do want it to autoplay and loop tho
which it does rn
and is there a way to make it autoplay unmuted
if it autoplays it autoplays muted
so all i need is the video controls removed and making it not pause & resume when clicking the video
and if possible making it autoplay unmuted
@shrewd night if u can do all that and send me the updated html id appreciate it
trying to tell chatgpt to make it autoplay unmuted but it refuses
"However, please note that most modern browsers block autoplay with sound unless the user has interacted with the page or has explicitly allowed it. You can try to force it using JavaScript after user interaction."
yeah autoplay with sound isn’t allowed without user interaction unfortunately
aww
but how is that
ive seen multiple jumpscare websites that start with sound
like without clicking anything
they usually do smth like “click to enter” which counts as user interaction
could you help me do that?
so just a black screen with text in the center saying click to enter and then make it show the video after u click enter
chatgpt is good until u hit the free plan cuz the newer one is limited for the free one
im telling it to make the text dissapear when clicking the video and it randomly changed the text to something else
its just doing shit im not even telling it to do
cached
jus add a new one and it should fetch it
its only there for u bc u have it cached on ur device
it’s gone for me
uploading the new one still displays the old one when i go to the site
going on a incognito works
what browser are you using
if u press f12, go to application tab and click storage
there should be a clear data button
make sure u are on your sites page before doin this
and then it should fetch the new vid instead of using the cached one
f12 opens a random site from yt twitch or reddit
opera gx moment 😭
lol wtf
panic mode closes all tabs and opens a random one
i wonder what thats for.
ill unbind it rq
f12 does nothing
try n press f5 while in ur site
still shows the old one
ill just use zen
is there a way to change the image and title of the taB
and the image?
as for that
With Favicon.io you can quickly generate a favicon for your website for free!
so png > ico?
and then jus ask chatgpt to add the favicon code
yes
ok
dont i need to upload the file for that tho
no jus tell it the name of the file
and upload the ico on github?
yes
its still default
nvm going to a incognito fixes it
is there really no way to clear the cache
nvm i did it
how do i decrease the volume
of the vid
nvm i just changed the actual vid volume and not the html
well ig this is done for now, thanks for the help yall
@shrewd night another (unrelated) thing, is there a way to make the tabs in zen be at the top and not on the left
