#metabrainz

I was like "reo your spanish is showing :P"

Last week I opened https://community.metabrainz.org/t/merge-vocals...

More discussion welcome

\o/

This week, a fair amount of support. There's a guy who keeps insisting I upload their picture

And says they refuse to create a wikimedia account and I should upload their image for them

Not gonna happen

Other than that no major issues

ask colbydray?

No, I won't ask anyone to upload an image to Commons and sign away the license that's not the content owner

Just asking us to upload an image to Wiki Commons does not legally grant us the rights to do so.

If he doesn't want to do it himself, that's his problem

So whatever

ah, yea not ok.

Anyway, that's been mostly it

That and I forgot Spanish people burn too and now I'm very red

(ouch)

I'll be here until the 24 so expect another relatively slow week next week

fin I think!

bread and skin? both??

bitmap!

ruaok: shh

:)

reosarevok: Just dip in olive oil, no?

fixed issues with the hot standby stuff which I didn't test at first

reosarevok: it means you've become Scandinavian (a little bit) (ie estonia)

olive oil cures everything. if not that, try red wine

ruaok: topically or orally?

got an smtp container working minus all the fancy tech that'll prevent the emails from getting marked as spam

yes

also noo not olive oil! oil is bd for burns! use aloe!

Let's let bitmap talk now :)

ja

now I'm looking at consul-template this week at the suggestion of zas, which looks more convenient than m4 + make

and looking more into postfix stuff

fin

Gentlecat!

I reviewed GSoC stuff, merged a change to AB that allows to submit non-MBID data

reviewed MBS stuff, tried Docker containers there

and was finishing my AB work most of the time https://beta.acousticbrainz.org/challenges/1409...

fin

zas!

I fixed a very nasty issue causing occasional packet loss on gateways (due to iptables conntrack limits and high traffic), it was possibly the cause of reported 504s (and other undetected issues). It required careful tuning of kernel sysctl values, but it looks like it works well now. I increased the global rate limit, as requested by ruaok

we are serving 700+ req/s (200s)

yay

finally answering your question: I've not seen any 504s today. well done!

\ø/

i resumed on docker stuff, mostly collecting documentation on infrastructure and admin tasks

i'm preparing the load balancer openresty container

which is the main part

use docker swarm + service discovery will be great

conntrack limits huh? I hadn't thought of that. GJ figuring it out, zas :)

kepstin: yes, it was a nasty thing

but we have a lot of traffic

ruaok: i think we should get few machines at hetzner now and start preparing them to host docker stuff

google not good enough?

chirlu: a pile of times, yes. I wish we would've licked them by now. :(

well, to test containers yes, but physical nodes will need proper setup (firewall, kernel, sysctl, ...°

ok, I see.

:|

I think we should get closer to the date when we're happy with our docker stuff.

at the point when all three of us shrug our shoulders and say: "this should work!" is probably the right time.

ok

then we'll have quite some time to actually get it right.

zas: Got more?

nope, fin.

I can call them and ask them what is easiest for them.

LordSputnik!

I have to talk to them about babar and spike too.

speaking of LordSputnik...

ugh yea LordSputnik

LordSputnik: Leftmost: I believe you two are up for going to the GSoC Summit.

wanna go?

When is that?

oh well, I guess not.

damn.

:)

end of oct.

No Leo_Verto. LordSputnik unresponsive...

alastairp!

this was discussed at length on the mentors list. I see you're paying attention. :)

I'd go, but not at the expense of someone more core to the project.

:disapproving:

hmm

that didn't work

Leftmost: I think people "more core to the project" have all mostly gone there by now

(if you mean MeB generally)

I do.

No alastairp either. :|

ಠ_ಠ

CatQuest: Go!

Leftmost: we're on a round robin basis and Google is paying. by the rules, you're up next.

Last week I did some instruments, as well as moving some "children of" rels to "subtypes" and "derivations".

Next I participated in a community-post about descriptions and disambiguation https://community.metabrainz.org/t/instruments-...

That brought up translation questions: should disambiguations become translatable strings? how, (or why/why not?)

I agree with chirlu that descriptions being copypasta is problematic, and that perhaps they aught to be scrapped,

(but I think maybe they should be replaced by annotations/aliases/disambiguations? instead, see my comment on somewhat related style ticket: http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-8764 as well as comments on the previous mentioned thread)

Then I created a task for myself http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/INST-415 to research how those pianos hang together, welcome to comment or watch that ticket! To close of last week, I obtained a frikken sweet title courtesy of reosarevok! yaay!

This week I'vn't been able to add much - this week has gone by pretty fast with preparing for school that starts for me on the 24th, uncertainty about disambiguations, and fighting a cold:(

of course you can so, no, but you should not feel bad about going.

Next week will be much of the same, but I hope to continue to squeeze in some more instruments.

Now as the test.bookbrainz.org is finally up? I've been doing some testing there too, but I'm a bit blocked by ben always being away when I have https://paste.ee/p/1uGw9 to tell him :P

eh sorry for the wall of text

CatQuest: Don't be. :)

thanks again for working on instruments, CatQuest :)

^

CatQuest: fin?

lekkert

rahulr!

Okay.

but I do want people to reply to links

Fixed some rebase issues between track and album search dialogs. Opened up a PR (https://github.com/metabrainz/picard/pull/486).

Mostly worked on getting covers displayed in the album dialog.

Also most of my SoC work (https://github.com/metabrainz/picard/pull/475) got merged into master last week.

That's all.

QuoraUK!

Okie dokie

So all of my branches are mostly ready to merge, a few already have been

just need checking over now

Got the video of the system sorted

and blog post mostly ready

Just some tidy up and testing to go now :)

fin

No hellska. :| kartikgupta0909, go!

and I've testedbadges, they work!

🙌

Last week I worked on the code for evaluation of a dataset on a user machine

Done with the basic version

Need to get the pending PRs for the server API merged

and then modify the evaluator script to use them instead of reading the datasets from files

fin :)

armalcolite!

Hi!

🙋

This week was spent in rebasing the playing_now branch and then resolving a lot of issues. Issues that got introduced both via merge-conflicts and user_id schema change.

Then fixiing the tests, which had a wierd problem. They were failing because of no reason. I spent lot more time fixing them than i anticipated. But success!! :)

I spent a lot of time testing the new API(api_compat), hoping all the bugs get resolved before merge in the master.

🙌

And a simple addition, now api_compat's playing_now gets updated as per the duration of the song.

armalcolite: I'll finish testing that branch tomorrow. and hopefully merge it.

And, my GSoC work got merged. Yippee!!

ruaok: awesome!

fin.

Great! Thanks all!

Freso: GSoC Final Evaluations!
