ruaok: would it be hard to make the VM compatible with other VM software? :)

very, methinks.

the ova format is supposed to make it compatible.

but that never really works.

oh, its like PDF then.

the "portable document format"

maybe i should invest 100€ into a SSD

You absolutely should

an SSD was the best purchase I ever made

did you migrate your OS or did you set it up from scratch?

I migrated at first but that gave me a few headaches so I did a fresh install and it was like night and day lol

my favorite thing about it is how on Windows all searches are instant, so I can just press win key + spot + enter and that opens Spotify instantly

mhm :)

copying speed 8MB/s

takes me 1:30h to copy that damn ova XD

Jeez

i guess downloading it would be faster :D

samj1912: hi

Is anyone already working on a VLC plugin?

not that I know of.

antlarr: my gsoc project got done :D https://blog.musicbrainz.org/2017/08/31/500-com...

if you are interested ^ :D

Kxze: no, I'm working on getting our last.fm compatible api to work with LB, but a plugin dedicated to LB is something much better.

how long is the gsoc? already done?

I see. I'm taking a look at that but I've never worked with VLC plugins before, so I'm not sure how feasible that'd be

vlc and qoud libeet lb combat woudl be asome sauce

ಠ_ಠ my own typing

I think VLC can scrobble. should be possible then.

hell already scrobbling with vlc so yes

Vlc uses v1.2 of the audioscrobbler api

NotLikeThis

Which LB doesn't support yet.

samj1912: wow, congratulations!

that 1.2 api endpoint is becoming more important by the minute, I see.

quod libet can scrobble, too

just something a non-coder like myself can just install and use and it works!

ruaok: almost done :D

Hopefully today

antlarr: thanks :D

you should try out picard 2.0 dev sometime

SothoTalKer: it can, but i have no idea how to make it work :D

\ø/

samj1912: you really did work A LOT. I hope your mentor let you pass the evaluations ;-)

samj1912: I will

right. time to hit the annual FAIL ALL button again. :D

:D

remember, not getting an A counts as failed.

hmm so the mb "work" tag that picard sets, isn't visible for mp3 files *either* in quod libet

Oh yeah, when looking into Android support for LB, I realized there's no OAuth2 yet. Is this something being considered? Because SLS currently supports LB, but you have to manually input your user token and that's awful to do on a phone

Kxze: MusicBrainz.org has/uses OAuth2. I'm sure a PR for LB would be accepted. :)

I was trying to avoid messing with Python but I guess I have no choice now :p

down the rabbit hole into the snake pit!

I need to step out of my Node comfort zone anyways, this'll be fun

<BANG>

Hi people!

Hey

I did support, including (but not limited to) making zas do support for me.

I was editing a fair amount still, but I've decided to limit my voting + editing time to max. 5h per day, in order to have some sort of a life at the same time, so I edited a bit less than before!

Finally, I've given a proposal for the "levels in the structure of works" issue that I had been slacking on because of too much time spent editing: https://community.metabrainz.org/t/levels-in-th... - comments appreciated!

This week I'm in Sweden for the first residential period of my just-started master (http://www.hb.se/en/International-student/Progr...) - hopefully that will eventually result in interesting ideas for ways to improve MusicBrainz and/or get it more connected with library-related stuff. That also means I'm not online all the

time though, so if you need something from me, it might take longer than usual! :)

ho

"""

Just realised that the meeting is at 2 in the morning where I am, so I

cannot be around.

Not much has changed since last week. I spent some time reviewing

remaining GSoC submissions and writing evaluations.

Rest of the time was spent moving.

ZaphodBeeblebrox: You say ho, I say go!

:O

had issues with DHL

it's related to musicbrainz because in the parcel was https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/db3603ac-6... !!

But I finally got it and

Else I've been editing all the raw scans I've taken of the borrowed Debussy releases all month!

Making some passable progress there, starting work on instruments too!

Hadet på badet!

next is..

freso?

I went to Sweden last week, and I'm still in Sweden right now.

I spent some time helping our GSoC student get their "final reports" published as blog posts on our blog.

tjenare!

I upgraded the Discourse install.

I spent some time looking at reported editors.

I managed to finally catch up on all the meeting notes.

And I spent a bunch of time on IRC and on the forums.

I think that sums it up.

zas: Go!

I fixed ftp.eu .. it ended to be some abusers causing all allowed connections to be used, i took required measures to solve it and prevent it

i did upgrades on all servers

i removed the IP blacklist for QNAP devices: queries are now filtered at nginx level

(Still up: bitmap, ruaok, Quesito, yvanzo, samj1912, psolanki, ListMyCDs, iliekcomputers, ferbncode, Leo_Verto; maybe up (please confirm): alastairp, LordSputnik, Leftmost; anyone else?)

but it has a drawback: connect time is degraded for all connections, because of the high number of connections nginx gets now. I'll prolly restore IP blacklist at some point

QNAP devices = 1500 req/s

legit traffic = 500 req/s

jesus

jeebus

noodlus

and it will not decrease

J-baby.

I was wondering the other day: did we get any feedbakc from amazon, fantv etc

apart that, i did a bit of support :) waiting for answers though

re this

upgraded Graphana graphs + minor things around, that's all.

next ? Quesito ?

hola!

uh, you don't 2cook" cofee leo, you cook the water and pur it on the coffe!

I'm playing catch up--our supporters are first priority--but I'm hoping I'll be caught up quick!

I handles some emails last week, but mostly vacation.

handled.

fin for now!

ruaok: go!

Freso: hi, here, but nothing to report

first a correction from past weeks: I had been quietly working on a new VM, making good progress.

a new VM is out, if you want to know: https://community.metabrainz.org/t/new-test-vm-...

I'd love feedback on if it works.

then, onward to team news.

gentlecat has just notified me that he doesn't intent to renew his contract.

thanks for all your help and code, Gentlecat! much appreciated!

👋 don't go too far!

🙋

I'm in the process of checking available options, finances and all that.
