        exactly.
      • I want to stop finding more things for us to do and release the beta.
      • reosarevok: ping

        ruaok: that's up to the api server to accept/deny, but we always have the possibility to add rules on gateways if needed (but that's not my preference, since gateways should not do too much processing). For MB we do a lot of stuff on gateways that should be made on backends (because they scale better therorically), for example for rate limiting stuff we have
      • on mb ws is hacky because we generate api responses, and it duplicates code somehow). There are historical reasons, but that's something we'll need to improve for next gen ws

        ruaok: pongish
      • (touring the national archives - just saw some original document signed by Napoleon, fancy!)
      • ruaok
        k.
      • thinking about New World/CRI... do you think their metadata might be good enough to actually do a mass import?
      • reosarevok
        I'll need to see it first
      • Do we have an email sample?
      • ruaok
        no, I'm wondering wether to even consider that option.
      • let me not put it on the table for now.
      • reosarevok
        I'm willing to consider it
      • I'm definitely interested enough in the data to try and massage it a bit
      • ruaok
        should I ask for a dump and then see?
      • reosarevok
        So if there's no hurry, this is the kind of thing where I wouldn't mind adding some stuff myself every week if it can't be autoadded
      • Yeah please :)
      • ruaok

      • iliekcomputers
        ruaok: re LB-128, I have the compilation working with the clean-css flag but the css file does not persist because the directory where we're saving it is a volume.

        LB-128: Improve CSS processing for production https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-128
      • Freso
        alastairp: Yes.
      • iliekcomputers
        Have to manually compile the less file by going inside the running container.
      • ruaok
        how does CB solve this?
      • iliekcomputers
        CB seems to be doing it during the build process, so maybe I'm doing something wrong.
      • It says here that changes in volumes don't persist so I'm not sure: https://developer.atlassian.com/blog/2016/06/co...
      • ruaok
        correct, unless you declare it as a permanent volume, which is not what we want to do, at least for the dev environment.
      • iliekcomputers
        the static files in CB are built here: https://github.com/metabrainz/critiquebrainz/bl...
      • ruaok: CB builds it manually later too https://critiquebrainz.readthedocs.io/intro.htm...

        :O
      • This week I released the "next" fix version, started writing up the upcoming instrument blogposts, and finished the Taonga pūoro instruments! Thanks to Freso and reosarevok for helping me!
      • Finally the "Turboneger" edit [https://beta.musicbrainz.org/edit/45486948] closed with a record 17 yes vs. 1 no*!
      • Thank you everyone that voted and helped make this a great consensus!
      • * extra thanks to freso who voted no to keep it open but "for the record: agreed with this edit. "
      • reosarevok
        :)
      • CatQuest
        \o/ lækkert!
      • next is... why not freso?

        🙋
      • Spent time on IRC and forums, went through a bunch of spam accounts and deleted them while collecting data, handled some reported editors, upgraded Discourse, removed some DMCA reported spam and spam on Jira, attended Picard meeting.
      • I think that's about it. ruaok, go!
      • ruaok
        hola!
      • last week was a lot of BS contracts, paper work and silly shit. not terribly interesting.
      • but, we have JSON data dumps starting to appear now.
      • which is really really cool and something that people have wanted for a long time.
      • on top of that we have incremental JSON dumps that will be happening soon.
      • Freso
        Are we doing Excel dumps next? :p
      • CatQuest
        ಠ_ಠ
      • Quesito
        will json dumps be avail for all supporters?
      • ruaok
        so, soon people will have two choices for staying up to date with, which may get us more customers, since our data becomes easier to consume.
      • Quesito: yes!
      • Quesito
        awesomesauce!
      • ruaok
        Freso: interestingly enough, the artist dump, which is most requested, could conceivably be imported into excel.
      • which, shudder, may make some people very happy.
      • Freso
        Heh.
      • CatQuest feels reosarevok should make a "(J)Son" dad-joke here
      • ruaok
        oh, we have a kitchen sink at the office now.
      • so we can do dishes and fill up the brita without doing contortions.
      • CatQuest
        everything and the kitchen sink too?
      • Freso
        Yes, it is very handy. 👍
      • ruaok
        and there is another unicorn on the horizon, which makes me very happy.
      • Freso
        🙌
      • ruaok
        but, we have a lot of BS stuff moved out of the way, so I should have more time for LB stuffs.
      • CatQuest
        less BS stuff, more LB stuff!
      • ruaok
        also, I'll be AFK from June 8 - June 16.
      • I'll be working minimal hours -- mostly checking email and such. but really mostly eating. :)
      • iliekcomputers
        where to? :)
      • ruaok
        also, our finances are looking really nice. thanks to Quesito!
      • CatQuest
        FoodLand?
      • !m Quesito
      • BrainzBot
        You're doing good work, Quesito!
      • Quesito
        thanks! :P
      • ruaok
        I've promised the board to go easy on expenses for a while and hoard a little more cash, but if things continue we have more money for another engineer. also, we should start doing UX stuff soon.
      • fin!
      • Quesito: go!
      • Quesito
        hola!
      • last week, jet lag hit me pretty hard, and I slacked a bit...
      • mainly kept up with emails and accounting q's
      • and did some help with ruaok on the BS stuff, which was exciting to see finalize
      • I'll be setting up the social media banner contest this week!
      • and need to get back to some forum discussion too...
      • fin!
      • reosarevok: go!
      • reosarevok
        I did support, made a few changes to style/artist since someone added a ticket notifying me of it being inaccurate
      • Finally submitted my graduation paper (only the defence left)
      • CatQuest
        defence?
      • zas
        \O/
      • reosarevok
        CatQuest: talking about it for 10 min in front of a panel
      • CatQuest
        :s worst part
      • reosarevok
        Nah I'll bullshit something, writing it was much worse
      • Today and tomorrow I'm checking an archivism conference in the National Archives here in town, which is pretty cool
      • (also lots of good cake)
      • That's about it
      • I talked to bitmap about maybe doing a bit of TT to react work now that I have more time
      • Let's see how that goes
      • zas, Gore|woerk
      • ... just go, sorry Gore|woerk
      • zas
        ahah
      • well, usual supervision and minor fixes, security upgrades
      • worked on a tool to extract interesting numbers from our fat mb logs
      • Freso
        (Still up: bitmap, Gentlecat, yvanzo, samj1912, psolanki, ListMyCDs, iliekcomputers, (what's suyash's IRC nick again?); maybe up (please confirm): alastairp, Leftmost, LordSputnik, Leo_Verto[m]; anyone else?)
      • ruaok
        I'm sure the logs are insulted, now.
      • zas
        started a deep analysis of it, looking for heavy low hanging fruits to reduce unneeded/unwanted traffic on our resources-hungry website
      • found out that Yahoo Slurp is 25% of hits
      • ruaok
        sheesh
      • CatQuest
        slurp???
      • zas
        and i'm working with bitmap to modify robots.txt
      • slurp is the yahoo bot indexing pages
      • CatQuest
        lol wtf
      • zas
        it indexes /track/ which are mostly redirects (303)
      • CatQuest
        oh dear
      • zas
        and don't even get the target url
      • ferbncode
        Freso: o/
      • zas
        so we can skip 87k hits a day
      • CatQuest
        wow
      • Freso
        ferbncode: Darnit. I'm sorry. >_<
      • zas
        just for this bot
      • also worked a bit on Picard, attended to tuesday's meeting, answered few bug reports
      • fixed (partially) plugins api issue on new picard website
      • ferbncode should have kept a nick close to his name ;)
      • i think that's all
      • bitmap ?
      • bitmap
        hi
      • samj1912 is here
      • CatQuest
        \o
      • bitmap
        mostly worked on finishing the json dumps, those seem to be working fine now so I enabled cron in the container and the incremental ones have been generating for the past couple days
      • zas
        \o/
      • bitmap
        just needs the metabrainz.org endpoint
      • Freso
        Neat. :)
