      • samj1912
        yup
      • since we dont have access to hetzner dash
      • Freso
        zas: Are you still vacationing? :)
      • ruaok cleans up a couple of VMs as well.
      • zas
        i'm back in France since 2 hours
      • iliekcomputers
        rsh7: yep, okay. Would tomorrow afternoon be good for you?
      • zas
        but at mom's house, which is trying to win the price of the worse internet connection of the world... currently on crappy 4G, because DSL is even worse...
      • ruaok stifles a your mom joke
      • ;)
      • btw, just made a bunch of server upgrades at hetzner
      • samj1912: if you have a bit of time tomorrow, we can try to add a SOLR node, and review/refine the installation process
      • samj1912
        yo
      • ill be travelling back home
      • should be free in the evening
      • zas
        nothing urgent
      • ruaok: about hetzner VMs performance stats, i don't think it is very obvious atm, because we compensated with different weights, i'll compare with the new node we'll add, and restore equal weights to have proper measurements
      • rsh7
        iliekcomputers: yeah sure.
      • bitmap
        iliekcomputers: basically just follow https://github.com/metabrainz/docker-postgres/c... replacing 9.6 with '10', and also update the dbmirror commit it uses to https://github.com/metabrainz/dbmirror/commit/f...
      • I think that should work if I'm not forgetting something
      • zas
        Hey bitmap ;)
      • bitmap
        hey zas
      • chhavi_

      • ruaok
        bitmap is the new Norm.
      • iliekcomputers
        *thanks
      • iliekcomputers will send a PR soon and that should be it for AB config changes, hopefully.
      • ruaok
        "hopefully"
      • it never is with our setup. :)
      • iliekcomputers
        ruaok: so we'll be running postgres on prince and the webserver and other AB containers on boingo?
      • Freso
        <BANG>

      • I've received no mailed in reviews today for once, so let's go straight to it with…
      • ruaok: Go!
      • ruaok
        k
      • ruaok wasn't expecting that.
      • iliekcomputers
        Haha
      • ruaok
        aigh, so the conflict resolution policy is up: https://community.metabrainz.org/t/new-metabrai...
      • Freso
        Nobody expects the Spanish… first-person-to-go-in-the-meeting-quisition?
      • ruaok
        note that this is a tighter round of feeback that we're seeking since we had outside help in crafting that.
      • hopefully we'll only address typos, wording or really big issues.
      • zas
        looks ok to me, apart few typos already reported, but i'll re-read again in a while
      • ruaok
        last week I also worked on sending invoices automatically and getting out accounting cleaned up and fully up to date.
      • we have loads of money in the bank which is nice.
      • more on that later.
      • on friday I am headed to california on a mix of business and pleasure.
      • I'm attending the distributed web conference at the internet archive. and after that I'm bouncing around in california and washington.
      • I'll see about visiting amazon while I am up there and possibly also the google cloud team.
      • samj1912
        noice :D
      • ruaok
        so, my availability will be more shaky for the next 2.5 weeks. and then the last 2 weeks of august I'll be in scotland on holidays.a
      • Freso
        Nice.
      • Have fun!
      • lks has quit
      • ruaok
        I'll still be around a bit, but I don't suspect I'll be doing too much actual work during that time.
      • I've been super busy getting things cleaned up and that has been feeling quite good. I wish I had more time to do PRs, but hey...
      • samj1912: go!
      • samj1912
        heya o/
      • spent most of the last week with Picard 2.0 stable release :D
      • lks joined the channel
      • zas
        \o/
      • ruaok
        congrats -- that is getting a lot of attention
      • samj1912
      • iliekcomputers
        👏🏽👏🏽
      • samj1912 still can't believe its been almost 2 years since he started working on Picard
      • Freso
        samj1912: :)
      • reosarevok
        So in a year you'll put out 3.0?
      • samj1912
        with Picard 2.0 and Solr out in prod
      • I have something to share
      • I am moving to London for a job next month and won’t be an official contractor anymore. This move is due to some personal goals and family responsibilities.
      • Freso
        :(
      • samj1912
        That said, I wanna add I can never let go of metabrainz or Picard. I will be around as a volunteer, reviewing, fixing stuff. :D
      • Freso
        🙌
      • samj1912
        Plus, I have come to associate Picard as a hobby, stress relief and (as chhavi_ likes to joke) my other girlfriend, so yeah there’s that :P
      • iliekcomputers
        Keep hanging around :)
      • samj1912
        Yeah :D
      • Freso
        samj1912: Thanks for the time with us so far. I hope you'll be around for a long time to come, in whatever capacity you're able to. :)
      • zas
        thanks for all you did as contractor ! and i guess we'll meet more often now you're moving to Europe (not EU...)
      • iliekcomputers
        Thanks samj1912 for being so awesome
      • ruaok
        lol
      • iliekcomputers
        :)
      • bitmap
        thanks for all your hard work, samj1912
      • samj1912
        zas definitely ;)
      • chhavi_ feels so nostalgic about the time samj1912 told me about picard and these bunch of really nice guys he met online. Never could have guessed what we were getting into :)
      • MeB has given me the best of people I now call friends and helped me achieve phenomenal personal and professional growth.
      • ruaok
        <3
      • samj1912
        so thank you everyone! :D
      • yvanzo

      • iliekcomputers
        💖💖
      • Protab is now known as Rotab
      • samj1912
        Special shoutout to Rob for bearing with me and keeping me glued to the community :D
      • ruaok
        :)
      • samj1912
        also, I guess he wants to say a few things?
      • ruaok
        chhavi_ needs the shout out, really.
      • samj1912
        ruaok: go
      • ruaok
        yep.
      • thanks for ponging back to me...
      • samj1912
        :P
      • ruaok
        first, thanks samj1912 for what you've done. you're a force of nature to be reckoned with.
      • second, we're going to see you at the summit, no?
      • samj1912
        \o/
      • chhavi_
        :D
      • ruaok
        third, we're all hoping that this isn't goodbye, but ciao for now.
      • samj1912
        yup on both counts
      • samj1912 just hopes obtaining schengen visa in UK as a foreign national isnt a PITA
      • iliekcomputers
        Ah, visas
      • ruaok
        meaning that inside of all that "personal goals and professional growth" is more a backstory. I only have a fragment of what is going on, and I full see what samj1912 is doing. I'm doing my best to see if in a year or two we can circle back around.
      • for now, that's it.
      • that said...
      • we now have two openings on our team.
      • Leo_Verto[m]
        Congratz, samj1912!
      • ruaok
        if you know a samj1912 or iliekcomputers class hacker who needs work, please point them here.
      • zas
        samj1912: i never dared to ask, but why 1912? ;à
      • ruaok
        fin. zas!
      • samj1912
        19 dec :P
      • zas
        well, apart walking under the Malta sun, just helped a bit on Picard release, and handled few emergencies, we had a server issue yesterday with burnside, cause undetermined (likely cpu crash)
      • fin. yvanzo ?
      • yvanzo
        hi!
      • Not Last week, I worked on MusicBrainz server virtual machine mostly, and the usual spam stuff, PR reviews, bug triage, community support.
      • Not much to say, bitmap?
      • bitmap
        hey
      • Freso
        (People still up: Freso, reosarevok, iliekcomputers, rsh7, bukwurm, Leo_Verto, chhavi_, kartikeyaSh – anyone else, please let me know ASAP.)
      • iliekcomputers
        hey bitmap :)
      • bitmap
        I continuted working on converting the entity merge forms to React
      • developed a fix for MBS-9400 but might make some changes if we can limit some of the tags returned
      • BrainzBot
        MBS-9400: tags are missing from the artist node in release request for json api https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9400
      • bitmap
        tested and fixed some more bugs in the React i18n code I've been workin on on-and-off
      • ruaok
        bitmap: what percentage of our site is on react vs tt? rough guess is fine.
      • bitmap
        some pages are partially react and partially tt, but maybe 20%? also some big prs are still unmerged
      • ruaok
        zas: any drop in CPU usage yet?
      • zas
        since this process is incremental i'll have to look carefully, but nothing obvious
      • i guess the gain exists though, just hard to see in graphs over a long period with varying traffic
      • bitmap
        also fixed some bugs in my sinuses so I'm not sick anymore. fin, Freso?
      • Freso

      • Freso
        Dealt with some conflicts. One editor was very adamant that current MB practices were wrong and wanted to cast a vote of no confidence in these practices to the central committee, all the while refusing to move discussion to forums or similar venue. :sigh:
      • ruaok
        got link?
      • no confidence in whom? Teresa May?
      • Freso
        ruaok: Not in a person, in the guidelines/practices…
      • I'll dig up link in a moment.
      • ruaok

        Poked at blog post by samj1912, which I guess still hasn't been published.
