hsssssssssss

Ahh.. so I see Two Steps From Hell artist got changed to the artists names instead

completely OT, but a bit frustrating: debugging this dhcp service is annoying. it goes something like "Hi, I'm a dhcp client!" "Hey, there, I'm a server. Based on how you're connected, you can have address X" "Hey server, will you let me use address X?" "No, based on how you're connected you can't use address X"

and that conversation repeats in an inifinite loop :(

lol

Looks fun

lol, it ended up being a typo that I didn't see.

put a 2 instead of a 4 in one place

Isn't that always the case? :)

I've done that more then once

it's really annoying with these ipv6 addresses, because they're just long strings of hex characters.

btw.. tagging Two Steps From Hell.. is pretty on par..

honestly, could you notice a single-letter typo in something that looks like "2001:470:b198:2:54a7:141:d197:b65f"?

Puts you two steps from hell trying to correct the files to the right tag -_-

Honestly... ?

No XD

ipv6 is just going to be alot more confusing :(

not really. you don't ever use ip address for anything, you always use domain names and hostnames. and those don't change.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong then :p

home networking you use ips >.>

hmm? my consumer router has built-in dns. I can access all the computers in my house by name.

yeah.. the almost never worked before...

It's alot easier for me to remember the number then the name.. Odd.. isn't it?

the trick has always been memorable names :)

I name everytime I can from things in Pirates of the Carribean >.>;

My media server is The Black Pearl :)

I use names from characters in games put out by a japanese company

Although... still haven't quite figured out a way to get an explorer window on my files away from home

I know it has something to do with mapping the domain name as a network harddrive

kyomi: no, it has nothing at all to do with that. The reason you can't do that is complicated, and has to do with firewalling and network address translation.

So there isn't a way I can do that?

but the key point: Windows network drives are so insecure that it would be a really bad idea, even if you could.

sure sure.. windows is OMG INSECURE.. but if you go to linux it's like omg butterflies and rainbows secure :p

what you actually want to do is set up a VPN (virtual private network) server in your house which you can connect to.

that'll create a secured connection.

so umm.. yeah... no idea how to do that >.>;

then it'll make it seem like you're on the same network as your home computer, so you can browse it the same as always

Can it work from Windows Home Server?

there's some free and commercial products for vpn servers, some of them are fairly easy to set up - and can be installed on windows.

i'm not familiar with any windows ones tho.

why is windows like the bane of anyones existence?

It's easy, stuff works.. no superfluous seteup

setup*

I've tried linux... honestly.. it's horrible

graphics are on par with windows 95..

theres like 6 million packages and *YOU* have to figure out which one is right for your system

man, you haven't seen anything the linux folks have done in the past year or so ;)

And of course you can't install the version listed there

Because theres some hidden incompatibility you don't know about unless you programed it

programmed*

And then that breaks it and good luck getting it back :)

so.. I like windows atm.. because it just works and is very easy to install things on and code on :3

I can't stand coding on windows. give me a proper command-line compiler and make any day.

that just asks for random issues to crop up because you missed some puncuation somewhere or didn't get the EXACT name of some inane option

You know

Isn't Hamachi a VPN thingy?

yes, hamachi would work.

I used that briefly to fix Brink multiplayer :)

Me and a friend couldn't connect.... used hamachi and it was fixed

the VPN/remote access functionality was actually the original point of hamachi, until games realized how it was useful for playing LAN games over the internet :)

you play any online games on pc or ps3? :)

I play a couple on pc, but very very rarely.

bah.. whats the fun in that? :P

hmm. I did just spend a weekend setting up first a musicbrainz mirror server in a linux container, then tweaked my house network to ue ipv6 dhcp... for fun :)

You are insane :p

I've spent a weekend retagging my music... and it's killing me

How is it relaxing? lol

It's annoying when you get lots of [cannot load album]

Or it's not in the DB

well, not so much retagging, as just tagging in the first place.

most of the music I get isn't in the database to start with, I have to add it myself.

and there's always cleaning up stuff that's currently in the database.

Thats not really relaxing for me

I haven't played *anything* today

and just tagged soundtracks and almost all of the "misc" folder

Still have Dance/Electronica and most of the Industrial folder

I think the Metal folder hasn't been touched yet

Any reason why http://musicbrainz.org/release/d7291fb0-77f3-3f... doesn't show cover art?

Is http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-1444 really true?

I thought "i" was a letter on its own, not an accented form of "ı"

Neither Text::Unaccent or Text::Transliterator::Unaccent unaccent it in the way requested

It seems to be, as according to: http://live.gnome.org/Gucharmap

• U+0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I

I don't quite follow, for which letter is that output?

That's the additonal notes for U+0131 LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I

hum

Should adding a disc id for a medium immediately set track times, if they are all undefined?

yes!

modbot will only do it later otherwise

(but in the meantime people just open more pointless edits)

yea

ocharles: that's a very old ticket and requires a patched version of libunac

the search server and the direct search both convert the characters

ah, ok

the patch is in the old ticket in trac

I did consider just offloading the work to db

SELECT musicbrainz_unaccent(?)

ocharles: I'm not very good at explaining, but what I meant in the original trac ticket was that when a language has ı it has I as the capital letter, and there's a separate letter i with İ as the capital letter... and you can imagine how messed up the dot/no dot gets when normally i corresponds to I... so it needs fixing a lot

I'd consider taking over Text::Unaccent

I wonder if I can request co-maint on that

seeing as it hasn't been updated in years

we've talked to the guy years ago, he said he will commit the patch to CVS and nothing happened

I can probably request co-maint as it's abandoned then

and normally adding/removing an accent is an auto-edit, like doing o -> ö in swedish, so I don't see why i İ ı I should be any different

yea

nikki: I just wanted to make sure they count as the same letter

(when unaccented)

but yea, using the database would be the simplest solution for now

Would appreciate some votes on these two edits if/when someone gets the chance: http://musicbrainz.org/recording/ce352d20-65d5-...
