Leftmost: one more time please?

I need an ancient JDK apparently.

6u45

or anyone who is willing to help me because I have a shit net connection here

nice, that version doesn't work with properly secure tls connections

can you help me, Leo_Verto ?

sure, what do you want me to do?

I need someone to accept the license and then download the file.

then upload it someplace where I can download it.

and no, it is not to dodge the license agreement.

okay

I can't accept the license agreement via wget.

thanks Leo_Verto

which version, x64 .bin?

x64 tar.gz

huh, I only see .bin and -rpm.bin for linux?

I'll take bin

hm, seems to require an oracle account?

ruaok, try this: wget --no-check-certificate --no-cookies --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u4...

seems ok.

:D

download worked, but still not starting right.

didn't you volunteer to help out with jira at some point, Leo_Verto ?

yeah

I looked into how to possibly upgrade to a current version from whatever ancient one it's currently using

it works!!!

\o/

sanity check me, please?

yep, is up!

working just fine :D

phew.

!m ruaok

You're doing good work, ruaok!

I guess JDK 1.6 was the trick. not terribly surprising.

thanks, but that feels laughable today.

loads of bumbling today.

problem is... now I have old data. a few hours old.

nah, wrestling with ancient software is still work

I guess I should do another DB dump to get the latest data.

:)

huh, can you log in?

I just saw the error message.

or is that not enabled because of read-only mode?

yes, I can.

okay, probably need to reset my password then

anyone else with a jira account around?

oh yeah, email isn't actually setup yet.

I guess I am jumping the gun?

is there a "send only" easy apt-get email server I can install?

oh right, it was trying to log me in using the BotBot credentials…

well your passwd recovered wou;dn't have worked anyway. :)

but I might just burn that bridge when I get to it.

I can log in :D

woo. :)

ok, more tickets.mb.org downtime.

after that it will come back up on tickets.metabrainz.org

That's crazy talk.

I have this Python script that sends hard-coded emails but a lot of people seem to use "sendmail"

and I guess I need to get SSL working, but I can do that with a few beers in me.

LordSputnik, can we set a time to hash out some of the decision-required stuff we have?

ok, tickets.metabrainz.org is up.

can someone help me sanity check?

it should have the latest data.

possible some attachements created in the last few hours might be missing.

let me know if you find anything.

there's definitely new data there

ok, at least that was worth it.

if there are attachments missing, I can rsync them too.

JDK 1.6 is a requirement for something? JDK 1.6 EOL ... November 2012...

darwin, you don't want to know how many major versions old this jira instance is :P

ruaok: would it be alright if I updated the wiki to the new stable release candidate (https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-...)

If you need more than a minute or two downtime, we should Post about it. Otherwise just go for it.

it should just be a few seconds while git checks out the new files

all the other parts I can do without downtime

ruaok: also is it alright if I add wikimedia's apt repo to install the node.js service that powers the new wysiwyg editor (probably not tonight). otherwise I can install it from git and set it up manually, but that's a lot more work

I don't see a problem with that. Go for it.

ok :)

https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Special:Version updated!

ruaok: wait, was Hamburg where you're originally from?

Yep. Let me know if you want some I sider tips.

haha

First: alter elbtunnel.

Walk through the old tunnel under the Elbe straight into the port.

Well I'm staying with a friend, so I hope she has some ideas what to show me :) But I'll have some time for myself on Monday and Tuesday, so I might ask for more specific tips then :)

Ooh, yeah, someone mentioned that one. Saying that it "looks totalitarian" :p

Whatever that means :D

Go for it. I've got lost ads of tips for walking g and exploring the city on the cheap.

Hafen city being the other. Your local friend will have opinions.

I've also found tons of party tips that would be useless for you.

hahaha

I like parties sometimes! But we're out of town for the weekend, so

(we're going to some peninsula by the sea to celebrate a friend's second PhD :p )

St. Nikolai for 2€ is also interesting. The view from the top isn't amazing, but everything else will stop you dead in your tracks when you read about it. Or have someone explain.

Oh, wow, that does look impressive

Having an idea of the melting temperature of copper is useful for a sense of perspective.

Having some tissues to hand might also be good. Dark as fuck. But visible from many corners of the city.

Mahnmal.

A very German word.

Zas: when you're up: please add and deploy a redirect from tickets.mb.org to tickets.meb.org.

I got sidetracked by family and good cognac. :-/

And perhaps tweak nagios to STFU.

You're doing good work, legoktm!
