WebSocket server is returning "::" for the local IP address when I call ws.address()

I am using ws with Electron for making a desktop app. I have a WebSocket server which runs in the app, but the problem is that I can't get the IP address of that server. The IP address I'm looking for is that of the device which is listed under ipv4 of the ipconfig in CMD since I'm using Windows 11. The server.address() only returns "::" for the IP address and I need it instead saying "192.168.0.41".

My code goes like this:

wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 6000 })
return wss.address() // returns "::" for address

Now on another post someone responded saying that .address() should be called after setting up the server. Well I tried it by making a new Node.js server and I got the same results for the address from the code below.

const net = require("node:net")

const s = net.createServer((socket) => {})

s.listen(() => {
    console.log("opened server on: ", s.address()) // returns "::" for address
})

Now the result I'm looking for is in the following screenshot.

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
