more MB hits.

nice

not sure about rankings.

I had this rather ephiphanous bath the other day where I tried to get the google assistance to play an album on spotify.

I started thinking about AI/semantic web and the current state of things like Knowledge Graph, WikiData and MusicBrainz.

I was frustrated that Google assistant couldn't load the right album for me.

only yesterday did I realize that it was *our* fault for that not working.

:P

Google doesn't yet know about the newly released album I was trying to request.

that was eye opening and fun.

on a similar note, I've only been using Spotify for a few months and it's suggestions just fit my taste in music so perfectly, I've rediscovered quite a few songs I used to listen to a few years ago

nice when that works, no?

Give everyone Spotify Premium too! :p

it's great, now if only we could build a suggestion engine like that with LB…

(I already pay for it, so I don't care, but :) )

(Imagine, me paying for something!)

I just don't get any ads for some reason :P

I didn't care that much about the ads, but shuffle-only on mobile was too much of a pain

I had figured out how to pay for spotify before they launched in the US.

yeah, couldn't imagine listening to music like that

when they actually launched they sent people like me an email: "Congrats you managed to trick us. No more. Here is a free month of premium, then you need to sign up [here]."

ok, fine. :)

Spotify on Linux has broken for me... and I already didn't use it enough to feel like it warranted spending money on it. :/

Freso|laptop: I haven't used the program for ages, the online player is much more comfortable

(or is that broken too?)

On desktop that is, I do use the mobile app obvs

Freso|laptop, the spotify package from the AUR is working fine for me

Leo_Verto, it isn't for me. https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux-...

(Which I also linked in a comment on the AUR page.)

Leo_Verto: had a chance to test that plugin?

will do now

zas, when you delete spam and spam accounts from Discourse, do you also go through and delete them on MB?

Freso|laptop: no :[

zas, well, please do. ;) Since I now have no idea what account was used to post the spam things you deleted from Discourse. :)

Freso|laptop: done

🙌

hmm, do you think it'd make sense to ask for the user's mb username in the survey?

would be useful for getting account age but I feel that deanonymizes the survey too much

Wait, what survey?

this thing https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wsKuNxIQhtb... I "volunteered" for

probably should make a jira issue for it

You could just ask for how long they've been on/using MusicBrainz?

Maybe they've changed account, or maybe they used MB for a while before actually signing up to edit.

Leo_Verto, however, as long as it's optional, I don't see why not to ask for it.

samj1912, can you make a PR for your jira plugin here https://github.com/metabrainz/botbot-plugins?

Leo_Verto: okay :)

great :D

Leo_Verto: done :)

samj1912, started reviewing your code, going to try to break it now

lol okay :P

it might go under a recursion loop depending on how botbot is implemented, not sure :P

I looked at other plugins and they also seem to run initialization stuff in the Plugin class

okay

wait, let me do that

samj1912, it seems the other plugins have tests, mind writing some for your plugin as well?

okay :P

will do

the GH plugin test is a good starting point

yeah :)

one command, 6 hours run time: ./install.sh ; ./export.sh ; scp musicbrainz-server-2016-12-19.ova robert@mayhemchaos.org:

luks: do you want a €100 concert voucher, valid for Ticketmaster Germany? that is the closest country to you.

alastairp: do you want a concert voucher?

I guess? what do I have to do?

once they arrive in BCN, come pick it up.

oh. that's easy

this is ticketmasters pennance for refusing an attribution clause in their contract.

these are all free with no strings attached.

alastairp: the reference to vagrant in musicbrainz-docker is now gone. however, it does assume now that musicbrainz-server code will be checked out in the home dir of the account that is building the containers.

thats a reasonable requirement, no?

https://github.com/brainzbot has the wrong ci link btw

and then you do a COPY ?

(or ADD)

COPY and then link a volume right over it. :)

chirlu: thanks for all your tips. I think that list is starting to look quite good

sure, but the volume only makes sense for a development VM, not for a prod deploy

but that sounds reasonable

yeah, the split between deployment and dev is still unresolved.

gcilou could probably use a voucher

using jsturgis' musicbrainz-docker might be better for a deployment.

I realised, what I would really like to do is to go docker run metabrainz/musicbrainz-server -env SOME_ENV_VARS_FOR_DB

and that's it

Leo_Verto: Yeah, my latest comment. :)

(as I said previously, my database is on a separate physical machine not managed by docker, and I have no current requirement for search)

also seems like we get 10% more value out of our vouchers, europe ftw!

Assuming concert prices are the same between Euronia and Dollaria.

ok, 3 US/Canada vouchers left!

does PPP apply to concert prices though? :P

To all goods, yes. The Big Mac is just an illustrative example.

Leo_Verto: can you point to an example with plugin init?

samj1912, https://github.com/metabrainz/botbot-plugins/bl...

more or less

but it seems that is only run once

ah

I tried to redefine __init__

was causing a lot of problem

remove the comma?

ah yeah, you'd probably have to work with super to get that done

did that :P

hmm, still doesn't work

this is what I did

ill change the update jira rule

ah, bot wasn't fully started

so that it works

um

mentioning an issue however, didn't

it ended up in an endless loop

I think it's triggering itself

yeah :P

let me fi that

figured that might happen

also I think it'd make sense to not have the "project list updated" message when doing that automatically on startup

Gentlecat: logging into metabrainz.org gives me a 500 error. so did going to the admin page, which is why I logged out. any ideas?

Leo_Verto: depends on what concert :p

yeah

more like project list fetched?

gcilou, anything sold on ticketmaster!

which is, at least around here, quite a bit

idk about the midwest us though
