      • hibiscuskazenek1
        now to figure out where to go to do that
      • pankkake
        for the second, clicking on the toolbar icon
      • for firefox there are probably better ways
      • hibiscuskazenek1
        the toolbar icon only gives me a list of checkboxes for Google subdomains
      • There doesn't appear to be a way to add more URLs
      • pankkake
        no "Add a rule for this site"?
      • hibiscuskazenek1
      • I went to coverartarchive.org to get that
      • pankkake
        I think it happens only if you're already on a https domain
      • anyway, I've only forced it on musicbrainz.org
      • hibiscuskazenek1
        OK, I noticed that the MusicBrainz page wasn't opened in HTTPS. That fixed it.
      • Why am I laughing so hard at this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXsCokh-NIQ

        As usual, I'm more into the comments. "Now that they are finding dinosaur remains that aren't even fossilized maybe people will wake up to the fact [of creationism]"
      • hibiscuskazenek1
        Dave Mustaine has become known for his religious rants lately. Those comments aren't totally out of the blue.

        jesus2099: Merci for the comment. :p
      • Nyanko-sensei: ~1 hour. (It's using the hourly replication packages, so MB first has to put out the hourly package, and then notlob has to import it, but it should "never" be more than 2 hours out-of-sync, unless something's gone wrong.)
      • Nyanko-sensei
        roger that
      • adding a ton of ISRC's from stuff I could rerip
      • Freso
        Neat.
      • I wish we had more obvious ways of adding ISRCs (and ISWCs and all the other industry "standard" identifiers), as MB is the only open db for them.
      • Nyanko-sensei
        yeah...
      • when I was younger, I didn't save the cue/log files after ripping...
      • Freso
        But then again, it's also so far removed from the reality of most of our "everyday" users, that far most of them likely do not even know that those identifiers exist. :)
      • Anyway. Post-workout shower. Bbiab.

      • hibiscuskazeneko
        Mac chargers are poorly designed and last about a year on average (at least for me)
      • (on another note) did I make the right call here? https://musicbrainz.org/edit/34290102
      • Freso
        hibiscuskazeneko: Is it poor design if they're intentionally designed to only last about a year?
      • hibiscuskazeneko
        I have no idea how long they're supposed to last
      • CallerNo6
        it's poor something. why aren't the villagers grabbing their pitchforks?
      • hibiscuskazeneko
        All I know is you have to bend it unnaturally to plug it in, then the rubber turns yellow and splits open and the wires start to fray
      • Freso
        CallerNo6: The pitchforks only last about a month.
      • CallerNo6
        crap, how the hell do I protest /that/?
      • Freso
        Exactly!
      • hibiscuskazeneko: I would probably have tried to find a link to the relevant style guideline, but otherwise it looks okay.
      • hibiscuskazeneko
        Except that release doesn't exist anywhere other than that torrent
      • Freso
        hibiscuskazeneko: And the language is fairly neutral too. Much better than some of the edit notes you used to write. Good job, keep it up! :)
      • hibiscuskazeneko: Yep, I'm pretty sure that case is mentioned in a style guideline somewhere?
      • reosarevok
        Nope, I don't think so
      • Freso
        Or some other document perhaps.
      • hibiscuskazeneko
        the whole "do not add fan compilations" bit?
      • Freso
        Yeah.
      • hibiscuskazeneko
        lemme find it
      • reosarevok
        IIRC all we have is "do not add copyrighted playlists" somewhere and I don't even remember if it's a guideline or not
      • But maybe it's there somewhere
      • Freso
        reosarevok: That one is under /Style
      • reosarevok
        Oh, so that'd be that :p
      • CallerNo6
        there's "While we welcome bootlegs, we discourage adding home-made compilations or mixtapes. "
      • reosarevok
        We have so many pages I keep forgetting which is which
      • Oh, where's that one? :)
      • Freso
        ^
      • CallerNo6
        from doc/Beginners_Guide
      • Freso
        Like anyone reads that. Psh.
      • JesseW joined the channel
      • CallerNo6
        Like anyone knows the difference between bootlegs and home-brew compilations.
      • (well, in the broad sense that MB uses "bootleg")
      • hibiscuskazeneko
        true dat
      • reosarevok
        Oh. Yeah, beginners' guide is so tl;dr I actually have recommended some beginners not to bother reading it :p
      • (which is kinda sad really)
      • CallerNo6
        yeah, but that particular recommendation has been around so long that it's part of the oral tradition.
      • Freso
        reosarevok: I'm glad "(re)writing docs" is not part my job description. :|
      • reosarevok
        Heh
      • CallerNo6
        it's a descent into lovecraftian madness. who wouldn't want to do that?
      • reosarevok
        I mean, I think we should just have the how tos to be honest
      • What's the point of the beginners guide supposed to be?
      • It's not like you can read it and start editing, since the stuff is confusing and you'll need the specific help :p
      • Freso
        Someone suggested doing video tutorials. I would love to do that/have that done.
      • CallerNo6
        ideally, a "beginner's guide" could be made by stringing together a subset of how-tos.
      • Freso
        I would do it myself, but I'm not sure I'd be the best voicing for it.
      • reosarevok hates video tutorials so he won't be volunteering for those :p
      • reosarevok
        (video anything is always longer, slower and more boring than just reading, in my experience)
      • Freso
        reosarevok: I'm not a huge fan as well, but some people swear by them, and they would be useful for "how to add a release", "how do I use X userscript", ...
      • I completely agree.
      • CallerNo6
        screenshots are bad enough (in terms of quickly becoming out-of-date). videos are a really bad ration of effort-to-useful-lifespan.
      • oops, "ratio"
      • Freso
        CallerNo6: Sure. Which is why I'm not suggesting spending money on it. But it would be neat if a volunteer could be found who would like to do it. Some people do enjoy this kind of thing. Crazy as it may seem.
      • Just like some people apparently enjoy spending hours upon hours on meticulously entering nit-picky details about fringe music acts into random databases on the interwebs.
      • Crazy people, I tell you.
      • JesseW
        Shocking, that.
      • :-)
      • darwin
        I would love to be able to point someone towards a import from discogs etc. userscript
      • reosarevok
        You mean a video of it?
      • darwin
        right, video / tutorial /anyhthing
      • reosarevok
        I mean, in general it'd be nice if scripts writers would include a short tutorial on their use when relevant
      • But I guess that'd be a dev willingly documenting something :p

        hibiscuskazeneko, here is the HTTPS problem I have (and we are two) : http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-8497 if you are interested to understand what was meant. :)
      • Shepard joined the channel
      • hibiscuskazeneko
        jesus2099: For me it worked the opposite way
      • I use HTTPS Everywhere, which forces HTTPS connections to IA but not to MB
      • JesseW joined the channel
      • jesus2099
        life is strange indeed… :) MB works perfect in HTTPS for me but not CAA upload (and CAA display is also slower in HTTPS so I also force that to HTTP)
      • hibiscuskazeneko
        It seems both your IA and MB connections have to be HTTPS
      • (or mine at least)
      • jesus2099
        not mine. ;)
