#metabrainz

anyone woh gets this ref?

HSOWA: i am 13.

and what is this?

hahahaha

it's fairly pg as far as meme's go tho, i mean it's pokemon

this is my first and not used nick, I don't use it anymore

catgroove: never done much pokemon stuff

but it's where CatCAt and eventually CatQuest came from

before that I had.. lesse.. chocomo

and before that.. mo

but I liek a cat on a quest now

CatQuest, the Endeavouring Cat!

Freso: ok, that should do

I used GROUP

both chocomo, CatCat, and CatQuest came from people on irc, in #msicbrainz infact back when we only had the one channel.. friends messed around

there was a guy called FauxFaux and I was CatGroove because of be-boop and "cool Cat's" and jazz music :D

and I said "nick CatCat"

:D

andthe quest thing was just a typo I made for "guest" once, and someoen said something great, and I liek it and it stuck :D

CatQuest: so the story of your nick is a series of coincidences, jokes, and mistakes.

much like life.

exactly :D

D E E P

E

E

P

I mean, I can't guarantee that I'll be "CatQuest" 4 liff. but if it changes, it would change because of A Reason™

what's up with all these nick changes

Can I be Zaphod CC?

arthelon[m]: sorry just messing about, nothing serious

CatQuest: The only Constant™ in Life™ is Change™.

well yo ucna change your name ot "Zaphod_CC" sure :D

™.

naiveai: have you played any Monkey Island games?

sorry

CatQuest: nah.

Monkey Island™

aw

Just got billed 100+ usd on a ec2 instance that I left running for a year

woops

oioi

arthelon[m]: WHAT

how do you manage to do that

you get monthly invoices and everythin

:(

never received any emails so I thought I was clean

arthelon[m]: well then you should complain to amazon - they're obligated to send you invoices.

I only received a billing statement for this month. They neglected to send it to me for the ones prior

pretty weird

arthelon[m]: check spam and if it ain't there than you should complain

Hey, MetaBrainz has a nice invoice history with Amazon ;)

this happened to me dad once

and he got refunded

anshuman73[m]: they paid bakc thoguh, sicne ther ewas cake :D

the cake is not a lie \o/

Yeah, I know, just wanted to point out the cool shit MeB has done when it comes to battling Amazon

well "batteling"

we're mostly on the same side

there was a thing with those knap things

where perhasp amazon woudl be on the other side of the cake

anshuman73[m]: sorry for going suddenly off topic here

Not when it comes to not paying our dues for 3 years

to put it liek zas did

naiveai: not a problem :)

but I started following the instructions for CB development environment setup at like 12:00pm

later today we'll be having a meeting

noone shoudl go offtopic then

CatQuest: yeah

Oh boy, meeting's today ?

yes

:)

anshuman73[m]: and the musicbrainz archive command has been running for like 5 hours

"docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.dev.yml run musicbrainz_db"

is it really required for CB to work?

That's definitely not right

Maybe kill it and try again ?

anshuman73[m]: what.

anshuman73[m]: i'm not risking it

alos that isn' exaclty of-topic here, it's ontopic, we where oftopic before :D

CatQuest: well, even banter is useful!

5 hours is not normal, so you'd probably be better

Off

it's nice yes. but usually more common in #musicbrainz

I just got off my laptop, I'll look into installing the Dev version when I get back tonight for the meeting

but as I sadi, not an issue. we're not a military state or nothing!

anshuman73[m]: np.

naiveai: I'

I'll try setting up CB on my machine

arthelon[m]: it does say you need 25GB of free space

i reckon that should take a long time

is that for the data dump?

arthelon[m]: "MusicBrainz database containing all the MusicBrainz metadata is needed for setting up your application. The mbdump.tar.bz2 is the core MusicBrainz archive which includes the tables for artist, release_group etc. The mbdump-derived.tar.bz2 archive contains annotations, user tags and search indexes. These archives include all the data required for setting up an instance of CritiqueBrainz."

"Keep in mind that this process is very time consuming, so make sure that you don’t delete the data/mbdata directory by accident. Also make sure that you have about 25GB of free space to keep the MusicBrainz data."

:o

arthelon[m]: i know, it surprised me too. why would it need literally the entire MB database in order to function

it seems odd.

or i'm just misreading it somehow and i wasted 5 hours of my life

haruute0: ayy welcome back m8 how you doin

D:

I think haruute0 is having connection issues and is actulaly afk

yeah he mentioned connection issues yesterday I think

\ø

naiveai: say hello to our head honcho and cheif ruaok :D

hi, i'am here :D, my internet has disconnected for an hour, now works normally again

ruaok: hello!

haruute0: kewl

ruarok: hello!

haruute0: know all about that, it sucks :)

naiveai: hello :D

haruute0: I like the badge template you made for BB!

ooh show me

go to the task

there are like a zillion task instances due :P

dude*

:P go to the ones in progress and search "design a template..."

anshuman73[m]: now the script has stopped suddenly after printing "WARNING: skipping "pg_shseclabel" --- only superuser can vacuum it"

bitmap: ping me when you are up and coding

please. please. please. please, fraud department, don't freak out that I am sending money into a country that you don't understand.

ruaok: why would a bank object to that?

american banks understand that the world is great and varied place.

and they are happy to send money around for steep fees.

as long as you follow the definition of "world".

which is US and Canada. Maybe UK on the outside.

but sending money to a place that they might not find on a map (sorry, not kidding) has got to be fraud, right??

XD

I really wish I was kidding, but I am not.
