Oops, away for the long weekend, and then there was some activity on Hacker News after all. Does anyone have examples of LB/MB being used for fun things/personal projects? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36170269
Hi mayhem, aerozol, monkey! Can you please update the beta app to latest and checkout if the listen submitter has improved for you? It should work fine now even when the app is close. Also, playing now is submitted to LB as soon as you start listening to a somg

akshaaatt: I find the new token configuration on top of the listen screens a bit odd. it takes up a lot of space for something you usually only setup once
akshaaatt
Right outsidecontext ! We have discussed that we need to fox the UI/UX for it.
Fix*
outsidecontext
great :)
is the "now playing" still showing spotify info instead of LB?
akshaaatt
Yes, the now playing on app is still the one on spotify
It’s hard to decide
Which one to use
The LB now playing or spotify now playing
Maybe a setting for this as well?
outsidecontext
As it is the ListenBrainz app showing LB now playing seemed natural to me :)
akshaaatt
Right
outsidecontext
That part confused me so hard. When using the app for the first time I assumed the feature was just totally broken, it never occurred to me that it would show the Spotify recent listen
akshaaatt
XD
Hi lucifer! How can I keep the app updated about the playing nows from LB?
We only have a REST API currently
lucifer
akshaaatt: i'll have to figure out some details but you can subscribe to a websockets connection i guess.
akshaaatt
Yeah. But wouldn’t that require some setup on the server as well?
(CatQuest thought it seemed off and I kinda agreed but wanted to confirm)
yvanzo: should I release or have you seen any reasons not to yet? :)
And how should we do with translations then? :)
CatQuest: changed to quoted in then :)
CatQuest
:D
aerozol
yvanzo: with our other MeB projects/external sites we haven't tried to have an obvious connection (e.g. the forum logo just uses the MeB logo, instead of some kind of forum icon, or a colored version of the Discourse logo). I thought we would do the same here and brand it MeB first
Is there a reason why we should treat this different? If so we can of course just use the language icon
yvanzo
aerozol: Mainly, they just differ from each other by a few pixels.
aerozol
yvanzo: right, you want the icons to differentiate more?
yvanzo
Your first logo based for colored Weblate was convincing.
That's just a suggestion, thus mentioning MediaWiki as well.
aerozol
I don't see a way to do a new MeB sub-logo without doing the hexagon, it's the main MeB brand. I'll sleep on it
yvanzo
reosarevok: looking into it :)
aerozol
Mayhem: monkey: ahhh I didn't see the updated recs page! Looks lovely on my phone!! I have some nitpicks like moving things a few px, so on, but I'm heading to sleep v soon
reosarevok
I liked the one with the Asian char FWIW, not sure how obvious it is, but then, neither is the Wiki one necessarily
reosarevok shrugs
yvanzo: thanks :) Writing some more tests in the meantime
CatQuest
wait we're not using that one? but I like it a lot too
aerozol
I agree that they're not very distinguishable, but that's kind of the precedent (almost indistinguishable favicons - sorry everybody!)
reosarevok
CatQuest: I think we don't yet know what we're or we're not using :)
aerozol
I could revisit them all again tbh, but I don't think it's worth it :)
CatQuest
right nex to eachother on the tabline they are plenty distinguishable. so it's fine
i think?
aerozol
Oh you reckon? That's good to hear! I don't find them that obvious, but they are very obviously MeB tabs which is useful for me
CatQuest
yes.
i als oahve this ting where different (sub)domains colour the tab differently. i presume that many power users or the like have similar plugins
yvanzo
aerozol: I agree it's probably not worth revisiting them all :)
CatQuest
that's a browser thing and not something we shoudl assume
but
aerozol
What we could do, and this is something we could easily do for the other sub-sites, is do new colors for their hexagons. Rather than just use MeB green. We'd start having some pretty slight color differences but that's okay
But that wouldn't make it a more obviously weblate/translation which I think you want yvanzo
?
reosarevok
lucifer / mayhem: see support email about listens export when you have some time :)
aerozol
If we're making new logos I don't see a way around using a hexagon shape, it's so closely tied to MeB. We can of course just leave the weblate w as well
yvanzo
aerozol: I mean if you don't feel it's worth it, don't do it.
Cause I'm just giving feedback, not taking decisions or doing any work about these.
aerozol
yvanzo: colors would be doable. If most people are ok with the favicons only being slightly differentiated then we can use the one I posted earlier 👍
yvanzo
aerozol: Color codes are definitely what make other logos slightly more distinguishable.
CatQuest
the one you posted earlier with the wonky japanese "e" was great hoestly
honestly*
mayhem
hoestly is a great typo. fits with the "hoe summer" theme of my life.
aerozol
I like it too CatQuest, but I agree that it will look very similar to the forum/tickets/wiki (by design but I'm still open to feedback)
CatQuest: loool
CatQuest
sigh
:)
aerozol
Maybe you want to post the icon in the meeting yvanzo, just mention that people can give me feedback? I'd do it but I already mailed in my review
CatQuest
I'm sure reo accept addendums to mailed in reviews
yvanzo
aerozol: no problem, will do, good night!
aerozol
Thanks yvanzo! Good night all
zas
yvanzo, reosarevok: please do not run docker-server-configs node scripts for now, we are making changes to consul
yvanzo
roger
reosarevok
Ok
lucifer
zas, yvanzo: rmq is unavailable
causing LB to go down
zas
where is it?
yvanzo
clash
zas
atj: ^^
atj
rmq container looks to be working
is it a consul health check?
lucifer
zas: rmq is fine, consul issues maybe?
zas
possibly
atj
*probably
lucifer
yvanzo: is sir working fine?
able to access rmq i mean.
yvanzo
lucifer: at least some parts of LB seem to still access RMQ according to logs: `collect_logs.sh --since 2023-06-05 rabbitmq`
lucifer
yvanzo: yes, that is spark cluster where the config is hardcoded.
yvanzo
lucifer: no SIR doesn't, restarting it.
atj
consul health check for rabbitmq-clash is passing
lucifer
i am deploying a temp fix to hard code the config for LB main as well
atj
where is lb running?
yvanzo
sir-prod is running on floyd
monkey
atj: kiss
reosarevok
get a roo... oh, the server
atj
RABBITMQ_HOST = "SERVICEDOESNOTEXIST_rabbitmq"
RABBITMQ_PORT = "SERVICEDOESNOTEXIST_rabbitmq"
monkey
reosarevok: 💋
CatQuest
:DDD
zas
all health checks are passing on clash
atj: where is that?
so that's a consul-template issue
atj
zas: on kiss `docker logs listenbrainz-web-prod -n 500 |grep RABBIT`
zas
but kiss still uses old cluster...
lucifer
atj, zas: you can use listenbrainz-web-beta to track the beahvioud
i hardcoded the config on listenbrainz-web-prod to bring up LB
cc: mayhem
atj
zas: consul service for rabbitmq-clash doesn't exist on the old consul cluster on kiss
yvanzo
I hardcoded the service info for rabbitmq in sir-prod container, working fine atm.
