Starboard in a forum channel

Question (or feedback maybe), is it possible to have the bot create a forum post with the starboard content if the target destination of the starboard is a forum channel?

If not, can this be added?

yes

NaviKingOP•8/8/25, 9:19 PM

Oh dope

NaviKingOP•8/8/25, 9:19 PM

do I have to do anything in particular or can I just set the destination as a forum channel

circuitsacul•8/8/25, 9:21 PM

do I have to do anything in particular

Ccircuitsacul > do I have to do anything in particular no

NaviKingOP•8/8/25, 9:23 PM

Hmm, it doesn't seem to work

NaviKingOP•8/8/25, 9:23 PM

I just tried it

NaviKingOP•8/8/25, 9:24 PM

it does let me target a forum channel as a starboard destination but it doesn't create a post

StarboardAPP•8/8/25, 9:24 PM

Created starboard 'test' in #support.

NaviKingOP•8/8/25, 9:25 PM

Oh that would do it

NaviKingOP•8/8/25, 9:26 PM

I think I'm in a similar situation where a tag is required on the destination

NaviKingOP•8/8/25, 9:26 PM

actually I know what tag I'd like assigned

NaviKingOP•8/8/25, 9:26 PM

But I don't think there's a command to configure it

circuitsacul•8/8/25, 9:26 PM

there's not

StarboardAPP•8/8/25, 9:26 PM

Deleted starboard 'test'.

circuitsacul•8/8/25, 9:27 PM

that would definitely be worth fixing but I'm probably not going to do it

circuitsacul•8/8/25, 9:27 PM

if someone else makes a PR I'll review it and merge it but otherwise I'm not really working on the bot anymore

NaviKingOP•8/8/25, 9:28 PM

If you share a link to the github or something and let me know what language it's in I can ask some people I know and see if they'd be willing to help with it

circuitsacul•8/8/25, 9:28 PM

it's rust, it's in the bots bio

circuitsacul•8/8/25, 9:29 PM

completely up to you if you wanna get it done I don't really care anymore

NaviKingOP•8/8/25, 9:34 PM

I'll see if I can find someone who is willing to do it, thanks for offering to approve the PR though

@circuitsacul Navi found me! I just wanted to give the bot a testrun but hit a roadblock and wondered if you might be familiar with it. It seems like pretty much every command that reads from the DB crashes the bot for me with the error SIGSEGV (signal SIGSEGV: invalid permissions for mapped object (fault address: 0x7cd2a4d18b78))SIGSEGV (signal SIGSEGV: invalid permissions for mapped object (fault address: 0x7cd2a4d18b78)). This happens for me on master without any changes. I am not looking for detailed support, just wondering whether that looks like something you encountered yourself at some point and if so, if there was a straightforward way around it. I appreciate your time!

circuitsacul•9/3/25, 9:45 PM

I've never seen that error before. Are you running the bot on windows?

Landadel•9/3/25, 9:46 PM

Ah, shame :dead: Yeah, in WSL2. I couldn't even install the dependencies on plain Windows

circuitsacul•9/3/25, 9:47 PM

honestly I'm tempted to just say it's window's fault. That's a memory segfault, which is supposedly impossible with rust...

circuitsacul•9/3/25, 9:47 PM

Is there a reason you need to build the bot yourself though? You can just run the docker image instead

Landadel•9/3/25, 9:48 PM

I am partway through the implementation of the feature NaviKing was looking for; I was hoping I could have a development setup that didn't require me to build a new image after every change

circuitsacul•9/3/25, 9:48 PM

gotcha

hgots•9/3/25, 9:49 PM

iirc this is the same error I got when running it in debug mode

circuitsacul•9/3/25, 9:49 PM

it's only when running commands that call into the db?

circuitsacul•9/3/25, 9:49 PM

that was a stack overflow not a segfault no?

circuitsacul•9/3/25, 9:49 PM

regardless yes try running the bot in --release mode

I'll give that a shot, thank you!

circuitsacul•9/3/25, 9:50 PM

huh, ok then

circuitsacul•9/3/25, 9:50 PM

my memory is bad ig

Landadel•9/3/25, 9:50 PM

Or yours is good and ours is bad

circuitsacul•9/3/25, 9:50 PM

no cause he's sent that before, and this is a known issue

circuitsacul•9/3/25, 9:50 PM

you have to run the bot in release mode or it won't work

circuitsacul•9/3/25, 9:51 PM

I just didn't remember it being a segfault

Ccircuitsacul it's only when running commands that call into the db?

Landadel•9/3/25, 9:51 PM

For some reason, creating a new starboard is fine. Reading (prior to updating, at least) seems like the thing that blows up but I haven't dug too deep yet.

circuitsacul•9/3/25, 9:52 PM

yeah idk, my best guess is that it has something to do with the size of the Futures the async code is generating

circuitsacul•9/3/25, 9:52 PM

release mode makes them smaller cause no debug info

Landadel•9/3/25, 9:52 PM

Can confirm, --release works like a charm! Thank you both so much!

circuitsacul•10/15/25, 12:47 AM

I haven't forgot about this btw, I'm just procrastinating

circuitsacul•10/15/25, 12:47 AM

I have to figure out why I'm unable to run the bot locally on my computer lol

circuitsacul•10/15/25, 12:47 AM

keep getting a very weird dns error

Kevinrodre•10/19/25, 12:17 PM

On which channel do I report a script?
