chirlu: white text on white background? ist das nicht die ost-friesische flagge?

genial.

ok, I could use some help here please.

Weißer Adler auf weißem Grund, ja. ;-)

TicketMaster objects to putting out logo on to their site.

they want to quietly drop it

increase in fee?

vouchers for free concerts?

that way we can have a stack of vouchers and when someone does something really killer for MB, we can hand them a voucher for a concert of their choice?

Moin

moin zas.

ruaok: i updated http://stats.metabrainz.org/dashboard/db/search... to show indexer tx and search response time

we send data to both search servers at the same time, but reload indexes with a delay, i think it would be even better to delay the sending (index -> send to 1/reload -> delay -> send to 2/reload vs index -> send to 1 & 2 -> reload 1 -> delay -> reload 2). That said the behavior looks quite normal to me, but indexes rotation is still an heavy process, huge

network traffic on send and cpu usage on reload.

that is a major change, since indexes get pulled, not pushed.

how do search servers sync ? based on time ?

the poll every 30s if there is a new data set.

if so, pull it.

hmmm, then we could just add a "lock" so if one server is pulling, the other(s) wait their turn

:D

Am I wrong that the answer to "I get the error "Replication packet #93515 not available" when running replication, can you please advise what to do?" is "just import a new DB and it'll be quicker"? That sounds old...

ruaok: what the fuck is wrong with attribution? Do they object to just the *logo*, or any mention of MB?

No. Packets 93515 to 93519 also went missing and haven’t been restored (and it’s not worth the trouble).

Ok :)

Also, even if we had those, the May schema change (at 95625) broke replication. So they would have to reimport from that point anyway.

reosarevok: I'll answer that email.

Too late :/

But you can still answer further

Reosarevok: imagine if we had to put a logo for each our the OSS packages we use on our site. Would be horrible, so I understand.

K, no worries on answering that one. Thx.

ruaok: you can answer the next one ;)

(I guess the answer is to redirect them to some blog post or other, but)

k

fuck it, I'll go buy the next thing I find.

except of course they want to charge 60€ above amazon prices.

Is 60€ worth not freezing for a week?

It might be!

starting to think so. :(

wait, YOU said that? :)

Well MeB has a bigger budget than I do :D

hey freso... you know how you turn off my speakers every day?

Im guessing that is to save power, which is cool and all.

but then, you fill a kettle full of water and heat it. then you use a cup of that water, while the rest cools down.

that heating of the kettle used a month's worth of speaker power.

just sayin'. :)

wow, the paypal website keeps getting worse.

I didn't think that was possible, but it sure is

is it?

ruaok: You're 100% correct. 🙈

you must be wrong about that Freso. :)

No no, I'm always right. Just ask CatCat. :p

Gentlecat: I just paid you. what does the payment memo say? does it say it came from us?

that makes zero sense.

Oh, it's the first.

not that that has ever mattered to you yet. :)

ruaok: You're no longer 100% correct.
