Database system recommendations?

Does anyone have a favorite database system they use for their bots? I would love a recommendation, preferably something that's free. It only needs to hold enough data for one server for free, but it would be great to have something that could scale and is easily readable. I've used Firebase in the past.

Possible to stream video of webpage through Discord.js bot?

Hello! I'd like to create a bot that can stream a live view of an HTML5 canvas during a call. Is this at all possible? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction? Or is it only possible through self-botting? Thank you in advance!

Editing a pinned message?

Hello! I have a reply to an interaction that I'd like to edit at a later time. The ID of the reply is stored in my database, and then the message is pinned to save it:

interaction.reply("Message...").then( reply => {
    var stored = reply.id;
    reply.pin();
});

interaction.reply("Message...").then( reply => {
    var stored = reply.id;
    reply.pin();
});

At a later time in my code when a button is pressed, I want this message to update. So I fetch the pinned messages:

interaction.channel.fetchPinned();

interaction.channel.fetchPinned();

But at this point, I'm stuck. Is there a way to access the message by ID here so that I can edit it? The following doesn't seem to work:

interaction.channel.fetchPinned().then( messages => {
  for(const [key, value] of messages)
  { //if I print messages here, I see a key=>value collection — but is there a better way to access the message by the ID I stored?
      if(key == game.TURNMSG){
           value.edit("Edited!");
           //This doesn't edit the message...
           break;
      }
  }
})

interaction.channel.fetchPinned().then( messages => {
  for(const [key, value] of messages)
  { //if I print messages here, I see a key=>value collection — but is there a better way to access the message by the ID I stored?
      if(key == game.TURNMSG){
           value.edit("Edited!");
           //This doesn't edit the message...
           break;
      }
  }
})

How to send a followUp after deferReply() and editReply()?

I have an interaction.deferReply() that is edited later with interaction.editReply(). I'd like to also send a followUp (second message) with some buttons after editing the first message. Is there a way to do that? My code looks like this right now:

interaction.editReply({ embeds: [threadsEmbed] }).then(
                        interaction.followUp({ embeds: [actionsEmbed], components: [row] }));

interaction.editReply({ embeds: [threadsEmbed] }).then(
                        interaction.followUp({ embeds: [actionsEmbed], components: [row] }));

Trying to get the emoji from a forum tag

I'm trying to get the emoji from a forum tag, but at the moment it's returning as null. At some point I think I was able to use tag.emoji.name -- did that change?

Making interactions persistent after bot restart

I'm using discord.js 14.3, node v18.9.0. I'd like to create a ticketing system where the user can click a button to open a ticket. Ideally, I'd like to have the embed with those buttons pinned in a channel, and for that message to stay there indefinitely. Is there a way to make those buttons still work after the bot is restarted? At the moment, it seems like if the embed is interacted with after the bot is restarted/goes offline, the interaction fails.
