these things are different for non-profits as opposed to for profits.

if yo usay so

an API question: if a relation given includes <direction>backward</>, it's a backwards relation, but a forwards relation includes no <direction> tag. I never noticed this before
2019-09-16 25925, 2019
alastairp
has this ever been considered?
2019-09-16 25925, 2019

hi alastairp! is it evening there now? (how? where are you? :D)

i was reading the listenbrainz api docs and found a section called last.fm api compatible
2019-09-16 25930, 2019
amCap1712
i wanted to ask which approach should i follow for vlc listenrainz plugin
2019-09-16 25905, 2019
ruaok
amCap1712: please use the native API
2019-09-16 25910, 2019
ruaok
not the compat one
2019-09-16 25911, 2019
iliekcomputers
amCap1712: I think the best way is the native api
2019-09-16 25925, 2019
amCap1712
ok got it ruaok and iliekcomputers
2019-09-16 25935, 2019
iliekcomputers
The last fm API is restrictive and doesn't allow sending of data other than a few particular fields
2019-09-16 25945, 2019
iliekcomputers
The native API is much more interesting
2019-09-16 25920, 2019
amCap1712
yeah i saw that the payload has many additional optional fields in the native

2019-09-16 25950, 2019

Yeah

Also, dependabot <3

alastairp
reosarevok: yeah, I was wondering if it'd be a reasonable idea to always say forward when it's forward
2019-09-16 25945, 2019
alastairp
thinking in the use case of saying `if myobject["direction"] == "backwards": x, else: y`
2019-09-16 25959, 2019
alastairp
which fails in half the cases in python because the dict key isn't there
2019-09-16 25908, 2019
alastairp
I guess my lib could add that in implicitly

bitmap: ^ ?
2019-09-16 25938, 2019
Mr_Monkey
I arrived at the same conclusion for the BookBrainz API (missing object key is an issue in JS), and for consistency and ease of use we decided to always return the direction
People up for reviews: zas, yvanzo, bitmap, iliekcomputers, ruaok, Freso, reosarevok, Mr_Monkey, aidanlw17, pristine__ – anyone else who wants to give a review, please let me know explicitly ASAP. :)

apart usual maintenance, upgrades and supervision, I prepared new server floyd
2019-09-16 25959, 2019

it's up and running, ready for bitmap ;)

oh nice
2019-09-16 25929, 2019

I also detected (thanks to a temporary issue) a serious abuse of our website
2019-09-16 25930, 2019
zas
it is now under control, but basically a lot of search queries (through website) were hitting solr cloud, mostly for recordings search, and this was the main reason of high load since ... years
2019-09-16 25955, 2019
zas
so, response times for legit users are much better now
2019-09-16 25955, 2019
Mr_Monkey
Any clue who/what they were coming from?
2019-09-16 25947, 2019
zas
not really, yet, 60k different IPs per day, same old UA, same kind of requests, may be something like the QNAP issue (but this time for the website)
2019-09-16 25908, 2019
zas
apart that, code review and ... Picard 2.2 release !

plus ftp fixes: when we removed queen we also removed a failover IP that was used for ftp/rsync and it created quite a mess, fixed now
2019-09-16 25916, 2019

fin. Mr_Monkey ?
2019-09-16 25919, 2019
Mr_Monkey
Yo !
2019-09-16 25944, 2019
Mr_Monkey
Spent some time making t-shirts for the summit, as you've probably seen.
2019-09-16 25910, 2019
Mr_Monkey
There was more back-and-forth and changes to make, but it all went OK and the shirts should be on their way
2019-09-16 25904, 2019
Mr_Monkey
I also added some identifiers to BookBrainz entities (for now only on test.bookbrainz.org) and tested some recent features in view of a beta update before the summit.
2019-09-16 25951, 2019
Mr_Monkey
I also started looking again at the mess I got to working on the merging tool.
2019-09-16 25916, 2019
Mr_Monkey
A couple of security and dependency updates, and that's the week !
I picked up reviewing and coding MBS again, and continued checking logs.
2019-09-16 25907, 2019
yvanzo
Plus usual support, a bit of MB VM, and that’s all from me!
2019-09-16 25917, 2019

Go reosarevok?
2019-09-16 25927, 2019

so, a busy week for me.
2019-09-16 25957, 2019
ruaok
first, the usual MeB background stuff, responding to people who don't understand the GDPR and such...
2019-09-16 25930, 2019
ruaok
but also in light of iliekcomputers' reduced presence here, I asked pristine__ if she was interested in working for us during her last year at uni
2019-09-16 25941, 2019
Freso
🙌
2019-09-16 25941, 2019
ruaok
and she said yes and the board of directors approved it as well.
2019-09-16 25947, 2019
Mr_Monkey
Woo !
2019-09-16 25948, 2019
reosarevok
OMG SHE SAID YES

reosarevok
So wait, is she going to work on all the projects then?
2019-09-16 25922, 2019
reosarevok
30 hours per day, like iliekcomputers? :p

Welcome aboard !! \o/
2019-09-16 25929, 2019

now, after having gone through this with samj1912[m], chhavi and iliekcomputers, I asked her if she also wants to leave india and the answer was yes.
2019-09-16 25946, 2019
pristine__
Well iliekcomputers is magic.
2019-09-16 25947, 2019
ruaok
so, chances are we will only have her for 9 months. :(
2019-09-16 25958, 2019
ruaok
better than nothing, so let's make the most of it, no?
2019-09-16 25900, 2019
reosarevok
Or we could finally figure out a way to get people out of India :p
2019-09-16 25911, 2019
reosarevok
Without giving them away to the evil capitalists
2019-09-16 25914, 2019
ruaok
reosarevok: yeah, I keep thinking about that. not cheap.
2019-09-16 25937, 2019
ruaok
I've also been making a lot of progress with the messybrainz <-> MB mapping.
2019-09-16 25953, 2019
ruaok
I've got early previews available -- still debugging bits, but I have a solid start.
2019-09-16 25918, 2019

I might just try and chew my way through the listens in LB and see how many ISRCs and spotfufy albums ids I can harvest from it.
2019-09-16 25932, 2019
Mr_Monkey
Yay !
2019-09-16 25941, 2019
ruaok
also, loads of prep for the summit, food planning, working to get the office cleaned, stuff like that.
2019-09-16 25912, 2019
ruaok
and we'll have authentic southern US gumbo at the summit -- for thursday evening.
2019-09-16 25933, 2019

I have more summit stuff to talk about, but that can wait to the agenda item.
