(It's too late for his timezone to attend this meeting.)
Freso
I’ve had a number of exams and medical appointments these last few weeks, but in between those I’ve dealt with a bunch of reports across MB, forums, and LB - a lot of spam, some users who behaved badly, some sockpuppets, etc.
CatQuest
honestly it'd be fine if we could keep tem at 7
!m Freso
BrainzBot
You're doing good work, Freso!
Freso
CatQuest: The meetings? They are at 7.
Let’s see.
I also did some blog admin'ing, giving students blog access.
Filed a couple of tickets, some of which reo has already started on. Also filed a couple of AB tickets, related to new similarity.
reosarevok
I'm happy to see you back on your managing :)
CatQuest
same
Freso
And tried to be around and about.
fin :x
yvanzo: Go?
yvanzo
Hi!
Freso
(People still up: lucifer, akshaaatt[m], bitmap, reosarevok, ruaok, CatQuest – anyone else who want to give review, let me know ASAP (last ping for akashgp09, ritiek, yyoung, jasondk if you don’t respond))
yvanzo
I did mentor yyoung with his GSoC’s project who did successfully complete it; Congratulations again!
Investigated MB load issues caused by consul-template, to be removed by bitmap with next MBS release.
Fin, go reosarevok?
reosarevok
Hi!
I've been working on a ton of smaller stuff for the last few weeks, plus I finished a first pass of the guess case code making it at least typed and more organized
Tons of improvements to be made I'm sure, but it's a start
CatQuest
:o
reosarevok
Lately I've been trying to help with Sir (it being python is not that bad in itself but I'm still not used to sqlalchemy at all, so that's tricky, but still, I feel a bit less dumb with it than before!)
And helping Freso with admin tools, as he mentioned
for JSON dumps mostly improving the load issues there and speed of full dumps, for sir we can remove its triggers and rabbitmq
reosarevok
Simplifying sir sounds like a good idea
bitmap
anyway the idea here is to add additional information to replication packets to help determine what columns have changed, but needs more testing
I also made improvements to my PR removing consul-template from MB containers, and deployed that to beta where it's working fine. will likely release that to prod today as yvanzo mentioned
otherwise I did some code review and fixed a couple misc. tickets. one to work around another issue causing high load in WS containers that zas reported.
fin. akshaaatt[m] go?
akshaaatt[m]
Hi everyone!
Freso
(Only lucifer and ruaok left on my list. Last call for anyone else who may want to give review!)
akshaaatt[m]
I have started my work on the mb web revamp and for the sake of simplicity and making it convenient for everyone to keep up with the changes, have made it available at https://github.com/akshaaatt/musicbrainz-web currently.
I reviewed two PRs, one from @monkey and the other from jason and spent some good time with the development setup.
Other than that, I am on YouTube now :) and have decided to release a video every week talking about general stuff. This week I talked about MeB and open source!
It might be the first time you hear or see me live! The video wasn’t scripted so please don’t mind if it feels raw.
That’s about it from my end. Fin!
ruaok next?
ruaok
ay!
I was mostly on vacation, doing lots of hiking and beer drinking in upper franconia (germany).
one hike was literally hiking from brewery to brewery having a beer at each place.
quite fun. about 150km covered in total.
(hiking distance, not beer bottles)
CatQuest
exactly 100 beers! (sorry couldn't resuist)
ruaok
buut, just before I went on holidays, I hired akshaaatt[m], who seems to be fitting in nicely. welcome again, akshaaatt[m]
akshaaatt[m]
Thank you as always!😃
riksucks
ruaok: your vacation sounded like lots of fun
ruaok
and while I was hiking I was doing loads of random brainstorming about MeB projects and how to deal with some tricky problems going foward.
riksucks: :)
and now I have a loong list of stuff to do, not just catching up from holidays, but several projects that need to be moved along.
fin, lucifer?
lucifer
hi all!
I worked on completing the migration to spark parquet dumps in LB and deployed it. I also reviewed some PRs from jasondk and deployed the Pinned recordings feature. did the usual post deployment bug fixes then :)
ruaok
thanks for all of that, lucifer
lucifer
CB API had several bugs which jasondk discovered while working on the mini review features, fixed those to make CB side ready. there were also some CORS issues in CB and LB endpoints worked on fixing them.
alastairp
interesting to see that these API bugs were show stopping, and the api never worked!)
lucifer
other than some misc LB imporvements, CORS, WebSockets, CSRF and login etc.
and finally working on sir debugging for the past few days.
that's it for me.
Freso
Alright!
Thank you everyone who gave reviews! :)
We have a number of items on today’s agenda, and only 25 minutes left, so let’s see if we can get through them in good time!
So, with yyoung[m]'s work, any autoselect-only relationship types no longer appear at all in the dropdowns
So there's no Discogs, Wikipedia or whatever to be selected if you enter somehomepage.com, and they don't get in the way
IMO, that removes the only reason to have a catch-all "otherdatabases" entry
And it would make sense to have a relationship for each site in the other databases whitelist, that makes it easier to query for a specific database and whatnot
But before I act on that, I wanted to see if other people see good reasons to keep things as-is
I mean .i approve of more site-spesific type rels. and having "othedatabases" bloated with stuff. but i cna still see that it might be usefull for some exceptions
yvanzo
Yes to not do this change.
reosarevok
What's the benefit of having them grouped in your view, yvanzo? :)
yvanzo
I already exposed these reasons in the past, I can reply to this ticket if you want them again.
CatQuest
sorry *than having otherdatabases*
reosarevok
Ok, please do, I forgot :) Keep in mind we already have a lot of databases with their own rel though, so I'd want a good reason to keep that inconsistency :)
Freso
Maybe yvanzo can post their thoughts on the ticket and we can review again next week?
reosarevok
Yeah, seems good to me
CatQuest
it's true that also things that shouldn't be in "otherdatabases" (or maybe even links?) have it as use. but on the oher hand soemtimes you have a link and it's a database and there is no whitelist
ruaok
+1
reosarevok
CatQuest: nothing not whitelisted can go in otherdbs rn anyway :)
