No está aquí!!!

Muy mal!!!

:D

lol

in the end they said "we're going to have to transfer you to amazon.com, I'll send them an email and cc you"

I said "OK, they can reply to me in english or spanish"

really? not like your spanish isn't up to this task.

and the response was "oh, if they reply in english, just tell them that you want it in spanish and they'll find someone who can talk to you"

wha?

well, if I'm dealing with amazon.com instead of amazon.es, I may as well do it in english

I dunno, I guess I didn't make it explicit that I'd prefer english

I guess my spanish was good enough that they thought I didn't speak english??

I'm going to go with that

why amazon.com in the first place? that is the part I don't get.

oh

because I bought a kindle in the US

and had a problem with it

but it was attached to my ES account

ah.

you do know that amazon.es has english speaking people, right?

except apparently not 100%

hmm

Silly people who don't just remain in one country.

honestly, it never really occurred to me

there's even an option to get help in english, and it's pretty ok

ruaok: that happend to a friend of mine. he bought (from amazon.uk) a fire stick. already had UK prime

plug it in

open the app

"configure your account" "oh, you don't have prime. here's a free month"

it is actually pretty hard to get some service person to speak spanish in BCN. they all want to speak english.

turns out it signed him up for amazon.com prime, because he also has a .com account

I wonder if he ever got that fixed

ruaok: how badly? :D

how badly, what?

They speak said English

improving quite a lot, actually.

most people who want to speak english don't really need it.

This is the German solution to the parcel delivery problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packstation

There are also private “parcelboxes” (oversized mailboxes) for people who get lots of them.

You can put something into it and lock it, then the owner can open it with a key and retrieve the contents.

Yes, they are coming here as well... except...

Yeah we have a ton of those in Estonia as well

(but I haven't seen anyone use them for international stuff)

a lot of drop off places are other businesses. which means you need to deal with the madness of that business.

worst was having to pick up packages at a parking garage.

might as well send it to the zoo and have the apes hand out packages. would probably be faster.

alastairp: I've finished reviewing

SEUR has a box too. it is 11km away in a zone that has little to no public transit.

Gentlecat: thank you

The Packstation is 100% automatic, available 24/7.

I think I have five of them in a 5 km radius.

Yeah, ours too. Well a few are inside shopping malls, so 9-22 instead of 24h

yeah, the DHL ones work really well, whereas DHL delivery is by far the worst.

I've yet to receive a DHL package at my house.

they just can't manage it.

> Using Packstations is free of charge both for private and business customers, however prior registration through the web portal Paket.de [6] is required for collection of parcels.

oh, so germany.

here they text you a code. super simple.

You need the card and a code that is texted to you. :)

the card. that is mailed to you? after you mail then birth certificates and your first born?

They had some problems with people phishing numbers, then ordering illegal stuff or unpaid things in someone else’s name to their Packstation …

I don’t think you need a birth certificate, though. :)

But it’s a one-time hassle.

I got my card many years ago.

It’s also useful that you can have things sent to you to any Packstation anywhere, in case you are travelling.

The main disadvantage is that it only works for DHL.

Freso: I'd like to know what CallerNo6 thinks before deciding what kind of changes are needed :)

amazon prime now works great, however. fully under their control. however, they do not sell heaters

Gentlecat: do you share static content between the application container and nginx?

no

and they are on different servers anyway

right

how do you put the correct version of static content on the nginx server, then?

static content goes through uwsgi

ahh

whereas DHL delivery is by far the worst.

quoted for the very truth.

but honestly I have a spare electric heater you can *have* it fro mme lol ruaok

(but the shipping would probably make it not worth it :/)

CatQuest: But Norway is so cold! You shouldn't ship your radiators out of the country! What about all the Africans working hard to get you the radiators to begin with? So ungrateful. ;_;

:D :D :D

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJLqyuxm96k if you don't get it )

thanks CatQuest :)

what happened the previous two times?

my computer died/restarted/crashed

so i deleted a bunch of files and am trying again

k

in the following line what is meant by "/ checkout:" To install these dependencies, run the following inside the musicbrainz-server/ checkout:

loujine: cool, sorry for the delay in reviewing

mices: the git checkout, i.e. the directory that contains the musicbrainz-server code

gcilou: You should make a bug report against your computer.

Freso: possibly. But I think all my applications just started failing because I was running out of storage so my computer tried to restart to fix the applications which of course messed up the install

Freso: i did get it i remember that os i understood exactly the refrence right away :D

I actually thought about saying something to ruaok about "asking africans"

:P

(for a heater)

CatQuest: :)

I was pretty sure you'd get it, but there might be others that didn't.

bitmap: got a few minutes to look at https://github.com/metabrainz/coverart_redirect...

sure

let me try and see what's going on with the tests

ruaok: how much space does the vm need?

Gentlecat: is pytest better than nose?

woohoo vm is running

it's mostly about https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#note-to-...

oh, I see

there are some nice features and it's compatible with the usual `unittest` tests

I was just wondering since the commit message didn't say

yeah, should've clarified

looking into those 404s right now

all the custom data is in add_data.sql

possible dumb question, but via https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-vm#po... where is /media/dbdump going to be located?

gcilou: questioned answered, i guess? :)

ruaok: well, I guess the vm takes up a lot of space, but not too much :)

yeah. well said.

did the whole mb-vm process clone mb-server again?

yes and configure it inside the VM

Freso: then you say "( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJLqyuxm96k if someone doesn't get it )"

(well imho anyway :))

Gentlecat: https://github.com/metabrainz/coverart_redirect...

looks like that data wasn't copied into the new file

that explains the /back 404s since it doesn't know the types of those

how does RG 'type' work? is it calculated from 'primary' and 'secondary'?

oh, I might have cut that thinking that it's part of "default" data

not surprising, the names of those tables are very misleading :)
