yup

since we dont have access to hetzner dash

zas: Are you still vacationing? :)

i'm back in France since 2 hours

rsh7: yep, okay. Would tomorrow afternoon be good for you?

but at mom's house, which is trying to win the price of the worse internet connection of the world... currently on crappy 4G, because DSL is even worse...

;)

btw, just made a bunch of server upgrades at hetzner

samj1912: if you have a bit of time tomorrow, we can try to add a SOLR node, and review/refine the installation process

yo

ill be travelling back home

should be free in the evening

nothing urgent

ruaok: about hetzner VMs performance stats, i don't think it is very obvious atm, because we compensated with different weights, i'll compare with the new node we'll add, and restore equal weights to have proper measurements

iliekcomputers: yeah sure.

iliekcomputers: basically just follow https://github.com/metabrainz/docker-postgres/c... replacing 9.6 with '10', and also update the dbmirror commit it uses to https://github.com/metabrainz/dbmirror/commit/f...

I think that should work if I'm not forgetting something

Hey bitmap ;)

hey zas

Hey bitmap ;)

(just because zas did it too)

hey bitmap.

:)

hey bitmap.

;)

Tganks!

bitmap is the new Norm.

*thanks

"hopefully"

it never is with our setup. :)

ruaok: so we'll be running postgres on prince and the webserver and other AB containers on boingo?

<BANG>

Guess what day it is! It's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h81Ojd3d2rY ! 🙌

Hullo!

People up: Freso, reosarevok, bitmap, zas, ruaok, yvanzo, samj1912, iliekcomputers, rsh7, bukwurm, Leo_Verto, chhavi_, kartikeyaSh

I've received no mailed in reviews today for once, so let's go straight to it with…

ruaok: Go!

Haha

aigh, so the conflict resolution policy is up: https://community.metabrainz.org/t/new-metabrai...

Nobody expects the Spanish… first-person-to-go-in-the-meeting-quisition?

note that this is a tighter round of feeback that we're seeking since we had outside help in crafting that.

hopefully we'll only address typos, wording or really big issues.

looks ok to me, apart few typos already reported, but i'll re-read again in a while

last week I also worked on sending invoices automatically and getting out accounting cleaned up and fully up to date.

we have loads of money in the bank which is nice.

more on that later.

on friday I am headed to california on a mix of business and pleasure.

I'm attending the distributed web conference at the internet archive. and after that I'm bouncing around in california and washington.

I'll see about visiting amazon while I am up there and possibly also the google cloud team.

noice :D

so, my availability will be more shaky for the next 2.5 weeks. and then the last 2 weeks of august I'll be in scotland on holidays.a

Nice.

Have fun!

I'll still be around a bit, but I don't suspect I'll be doing too much actual work during that time.

I've been super busy getting things cleaned up and that has been feeling quite good. I wish I had more time to do PRs, but hey...

samj1912: go!

heya o/

spent most of the last week with Picard 2.0 stable release :D

\o/

congrats -- that is getting a lot of attention

go zheck it out :B https://blog.musicbrainz.org/

👏🏽👏🏽

samj1912: :)

So in a year you'll put out 3.0?

with Picard 2.0 and Solr out in prod

I have something to share

I am moving to London for a job next month and won’t be an official contractor anymore. This move is due to some personal goals and family responsibilities.

:(

That said, I wanna add I can never let go of metabrainz or Picard. I will be around as a volunteer, reviewing, fixing stuff. :D

🙌

Plus, I have come to associate Picard as a hobby, stress relief and (as chhavi_ likes to joke) my other girlfriend, so yeah there’s that :P

Keep hanging around :)

Yeah :D

samj1912: Thanks for the time with us so far. I hope you'll be around for a long time to come, in whatever capacity you're able to. :)

thanks for all you did as contractor ! and i guess we'll meet more often now you're moving to Europe (not EU...)

Thanks samj1912 for being so awesome

lol

:)

thanks for all your hard work, samj1912

zas definitely ;)

MeB has given me the best of people I now call friends and helped me achieve phenomenal personal and professional growth.

<3

so thank you everyone! :D

Thank you samj1912!

💖💖

Special shoutout to Rob for bearing with me and keeping me glued to the community :D

:)

also, I guess he wants to say a few things?

chhavi_ needs the shout out, really.

ruaok: go

yep.

thanks for ponging back to me...

:P

first, thanks samj1912 for what you've done. you're a force of nature to be reckoned with.

second, we're going to see you at the summit, no?

\o/

:D

third, we're all hoping that this isn't goodbye, but ciao for now.

yup on both counts

Ah, visas

meaning that inside of all that "personal goals and professional growth" is more a backstory. I only have a fragment of what is going on, and I full see what samj1912 is doing. I'm doing my best to see if in a year or two we can circle back around.

for now, that's it.

that said...

we now have two openings on our team.

Congratz, samj1912!

if you know a samj1912 or iliekcomputers class hacker who needs work, please point them here.

samj1912: i never dared to ask, but why 1912? ;à

fin. zas!

19 dec :P

well, apart walking under the Malta sun, just helped a bit on Picard release, and handled few emergencies, we had a server issue yesterday with burnside, cause undetermined (likely cpu crash)

fin. yvanzo ?

hi!

Not Last week, I worked on MusicBrainz server virtual machine mostly, and the usual spam stuff, PR reviews, bug triage, community support.

Not much to say, bitmap?

hey

(People still up: Freso, reosarevok, iliekcomputers, rsh7, bukwurm, Leo_Verto, chhavi_, kartikeyaSh – anyone else, please let me know ASAP.)

hey bitmap :)

I continuted working on converting the entity merge forms to React

developed a fix for MBS-9400 but might make some changes if we can limit some of the tags returned

MBS-9400: tags are missing from the artist node in release request for json api https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9400

tested and fixed some more bugs in the React i18n code I've been workin on on-and-off

bitmap: what percentage of our site is on react vs tt? rough guess is fine.

some pages are partially react and partially tt, but maybe 20%? also some big prs are still unmerged

zas: any drop in CPU usage yet?

since this process is incremental i'll have to look carefully, but nothing obvious

i guess the gain exists though, just hard to see in graphs over a long period with varying traffic

also fixed some bugs in my sinuses so I'm not sick anymore. fin, Freso?

Dealt with some conflicts. One editor was very adamant that current MB practices were wrong and wanted to cast a vote of no confidence in these practices to the central committee, all the while refusing to move discussion to forums or similar venue. :sigh:

got link?

no confidence in whom? Teresa May?

ruaok: Not in a person, in the guidelines/practices…

I'll dig up link in a moment.
