jesus2099: have you thought about uploading your userscripts to https://greasyfork.org since userscripts.org is pretty much dead?

sigh internet

hawke: he knows about it, but for some reason he doesn't

Who knows about what?

and openuserJS.org is the better option i'd say

jesus about userscripts.org alternatives

ah

see http://wiki.greasespot.net/User_Script_Hosting

userscripts.org is dying anyways. So we do need an alternative

but Jesus also said he wants to know what others think. So tell jesus2099 about it ;-)

I can't reach the direct search option from there

I can't make the window any larger

I had to add a new artist but I can't select him

ah

I temporarily added another artist credit and it extended it enough so that the direct search option was partially visible

Anyone on?

What's the term for a mix like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AYce9HYfDc

JonnyJD_ hawke thanks for the userjs tips, i appreciate ! what i said is that i’d like to hear some thoughts by the other userjs writers, what they might do (i’m not the only one in http://userscripts.org:8080/tags/musicbrainz) — as changing platform has drawbacks, i don’t want to go a lonely whay then having to move again when all the others choose otherwise…

ok i have growing requests to host my userscripts on github… i have to make sure my e-mail adress will no more be in my (future) commits now… Freso, i hope i will not bother you too much if i have issues, i’ll try to make it OK from the starting commit number 1…

jesus2099: you can rewrite your history

in the github account, what would be smart to do ? create a “musicbrainz-userscripts” reopo or a “userscripts” repo with a “musicbrainz” folder ?

simukis_: ah if it’s my repo it’s ok yeah but i had some commits in the metabrainz/musicbrainz repo, i shouldn’t change them, right, simukis_  ?

(and i woldn’t know how to change history despite being jesus, btw)

yeah, you should stick to rewriting histories of yet unpublished commits.

oh i think (not sure but) amount of repo is limited for free users of github, isn’t it ?

if so, i’ll make a “userscripts” repo

jesus2099: what about hosting on the other userscript pages?

and by that I mean there's multiple sites taking over

i don’t understand, Ackis

jesus2099: github doesn’t allow having free repositories at all if you’re not a paying customer

ah the openuserthis and the greasthat ?

Ackis: ↗

simukis_: i don’t pay and i do have a repo

no ?

I mean a private repo.

s/a private repo/private free repositories/

jesus2099: yeah those sites

simukis_:  ?

Ackis: the problem is exactly that it is « THOSE sites » (plural form) i don’t know which to choose…

Public repositories are unlimited, but private repositories are.

(or I might have read too deep into your question)

and anywayn, Ackis, they require you to host your scripts on github

simukis_: same for me (english)

but ok :)

Freso: or anyone else who is familiar with github… if i edit a file onlien, how do i know what e-mail will be used for the commi ?

ok anyway, i’ll just pass for now, doing everything on my local sire…

jesus2099: I think you choose which mail is used for on-site edits in the configuration. I tend not to do on-site edits though

and I would say https://openuserjs.org/groups is the best alternative so far, because you can create a musicbrainz group to gather all MB related scripts

i have a primaery e-mail and another fake e-mail

JonnyJD_: greasything makes those groups automatically, even better imo…

they get it from your @include tags… it’s smarter imo

jesus2099: there are musicbrainz script that work on non-mb sites though (additionally) like the discogs importer. Not sure how that works, but that would also be fine I guess

oh yes you’re right

hopefully those of mine also have some mb features so they would also appear there, but you’re right !

well, you possibly search for "discogs.com" scripts anyways when you want the discogs->MB importer

jesus2099: on GitHub one of your email addresses is marked as "public". This one will be use for on-site commits

jesus2099: you even have a checkbox to use a github-provided address (mine is JonnyJD [at users.noreply.github.com])

really ?

JonnyJD_: btw https://github.com/JasonBarnabe/greasyfork/issu... ;)

JonnyJD_: where are your e-mail options ? i don’t ssee what you said in https://github.com/settings/emails

my primary address is marked as private but they say that [primary address] is used for any web based GitHub operations

OH but indeed at the end of the page they (contradict) say « Keep my email address private We will use jesus2099 [at users.noreply.github.com] when performing Git operations and sending email on your behalf. » and i do have already checked that optin§

you can do a test commit on a test-branch to test that

but so i cannot use my fake e-mail for commits as i need to set it primary and then i won’t receive any github emails (which is risky for, let’s say, password recovery)

I guess github itself still uses your real address

when sending your notification messages

JonnyJD_: i think i’ll stick with my local repo and only putsch to github ;)

too many unsure worries otherwise

so which script do you want me to start with ?

something with collections *g*

and the collection highlighter ? ok :)

bbq

i vote for batch add performance of ARs

as its broke since last update

it’s not mine, ist it ? :)

n.b. if you guys weren’t aware you can still access userscripts.org on http://userscripts.org:8080 — but it’s readonly

So if you need to pull down any scripts, that’s the way to do it

hawke1: yes, but unless it's just me I never got the tag to work with 8080, only a search for "musicbrainz"

ah, indeed.

JonnyJD_: the tag works, you just must be logged in (possible on 8080)

same as 80 btw

tags don’t work when not logged in

all listed here, if anybody has anything to add: https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/External_Resources...

jesus2099: really? I remember tags working without being logged in, but that might be some time ago

yeah this is a regression :)

good to know

cool
