#metabrainz

A few non-critical add-ons have been disabled as incompatible for now.

The next steps are to convert our server to a Jira Data Center instance, and then

either to update the current host or to move to a new host managed with Ansible.

Finally, I reopened upgrading the MB search server and am now looking forward to nail it through teamwork.

Fin, go aerozol?

as a mattter of curiosity, at what level of % language does it become an option in the beta? to test with...

Oops, someone else please, I'm between kitchen and compy atm haha

No problem, go bitmap?

hey

during the last couple of weeks I continued working on fixing bugs and test failures in https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...

submitted a PR for MBS-13327

MBS-13327: Don't unlink recording from track when removing feat. artists https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-13327

resolved an out-of-disk-space issue on jimmy Sunday night which was caused by some unfortunate timing of heavy I/O on aretha

and started working on moving the JSON dumps to hendrix to mitigate such issues in the future

other than that, I was working on implementing edit classes for adding/editing/removing/reordering event art (trying to share as much code with releases as possible)

and did a small amount of code review

fin! go mayhem

hey

over xmas I gave myself a present: time to hack.

in the LB content resolver, I implemented: LB radio support, subsonic API support, daily jams against local collections.

whenever some track can't be resolved, it keeps track of that and you can get a report about what you should add to your collection to better resolve playlists.

then I implemented periodic jams for local.

and track duplicate detection, as a bonus feature.

for the past two weeks I've just been listening to my collection that I've neglected for a long time, but no more.

I hope to finish a few more key things and then push out a new release.

and the goal of all of this is to get the navidromes, funwhales, gonics etc to have playlisting tools -- because these people are our people.

this was the nerd out I wanted to have 23 year ago. finally!

🎉🎉

and since the new year I did finances and tallied up much we spent on the summit, but more on that in a bit.

I've got a busy week with everything and contracts and such. so bear with me.

fin.

ansh, go!

Hi everyone!!

Last 2-3 weeks were pretty good. I finally got done with my exams, and spent a good amount of time to complete my pending work

I finished off most of the work on the Artist Similarity Page. Just need to fix the mobile view of the graph.

Other than that I started working on the new LB Homepage. And spent some time on LB and BB tickets.

And started working on migrating ListenBrainz to SPA and have routing handled by React now instead of Flask. So we can have a smooth navigation experience. I had a good discussion with monkey on this and we have broken down the project into phases.

Currently I’ve migrated the profile pages to SPA and have removed almost all the pages using Jinja Templates. I just need to make sure sentry works fine with react-router-dom to make it ready for review. After we’re done with this, I’ll then migrate the User Feed Pages, and the Explore pages to SPA.

Thats it for me

lucifer: next?

hi all!

last couple of weeks, i worked with monkey on doing the final things left to push out the YIM stuff.

there were lots of bug fixes after the release too.

did some work on improving the album selection for the mbid mapper, some bug fixes and enhancements for artist/album pages.

lots of other misc bug fixes.

zas: next?

Hey

last weeks I mostly worked on Picard, PR reviews, and related stuff.

I also ensured overall supervision, system upgrades, and user support (mainly access issues).

plus usual MB edits, and various minor tasks. Fin. akshaaatt ?

no akshaaatt ? aerozol ?

Hey!

I probably could have done this via phone, because it turns out all I really did over the break was stay on top of socials

And a mess of little tickets

Collated a bunch of YIM feedback into tickets and replied to a lot, recently

Quite a bit of work on the weekend to cover all the bases on our YIM posts. YIM is awesome but making it go-live without doing announcements at the same time is a decision we’ll have to look at before doing it again next year

That’s me, kellnerd?

Hi :)

Thanks to your awesome work on YIM, I've finally decided to give recording my listens with ListenBrainz a try (with an alt account as I still don't want my personal data associated with my main account name).

Sounds like some guilty listens :P

(but more seriously, fair enough)

As I mostly listen to music using hardware players or analog devices, I was looking for ways to submit my listens.

Although there were existing solutions, I had a lot of fun writing my own LB API client in TypeScript and a few accompanying parser/importer tools ☺️

Code and automatically generated documentation are available here: https://deno.land/x/listenbrainz@v0.3.0

Fin, go jasje!

Hello everyone!

Other people on my list: akshaaatt

last week we finally pushed the timer update to LB Android 2.5.0 beta

the submissions are consistent and some bugs like instant listen submission, missing metadata when song is repeated etc. are squashed.

The service has been optimised along with the new timer implementation.

do try it out and provide feedback

apart from that

I've been conducting reviews for YIM 23 by pranavkonidena_

he's been doing a fabulous job

!m pranavkonidena_

You're doing good work, pranavkonidena_!

Next update will be a banger

maybe pranavkonidena_ might wanna say a few words?

(start by hello)

They look offline, but we should invite them to the next meeting for sure!

saddie

akshaaatt: go!

Also offline?

yup seems that way

Ok, thanks for the reviews!

</BANG>

nope

We have a bunch of topics on the agenda

oww

First: Discord bridge (aerozol, lucifer)

Premature finish jasje! Don’t worry, it happens to everyone

xDDDD

lucifer was amazing and did a successful test doing a Discord to IRC bridge

As far as I know we can make it happen as soon as we’ve agreed on how to do it

yup

lucifer: are you connected through Discord at the moment?

nope not at the moment

(fwiw i personally hate discord)

So the question is, is everyone okay with letting Discord users read and post here? I was going to suggest we make a channel on discord where people can read and post to #musicbrainz. And maybe a read-only channel to #metabrainz

I see no issue with that plan

+1

The reasoning is that this is certainly going to bring a large amount of traffic to IRC - it might be disruptive for #metabrainz

#musicbrainz I don’t know if we have that concern

👍

not into #metabrainz, plz. #Musicbrainz I can see.

for #metabrainz let's just wait a second, the next topic is about that.

Then we can review the next meeting after it’s implemented

Cool, well if there’s no complaints let’s do that. If it’s a clusterfuck we can just turn it off

If you're just testing first, perhaps a new channel?

Done I think?

I'm all for trying it. if it turns out to be a shit-show, we can always stop it.

smaller scale tests have been done by lucifer already rdswift :)

we control the bridge so we can turn it off anytime so not an issue

I actually meant "evaluation" rather than test.

Always an issue when you take something away after granting it.

can we move on now?

Yup. Sorry.

Ok, so, we're testing it, and hoping the youths behave

🤞

mayhem wanna take the lead?

or should i?

you go

we are looking to migrate off IRC because using IRC without IRCCloud is not a very friendly experience so its unfair to new contributors and many other community members.

the IRC channel will still exist and people are free to choose between using IRC or the alternative we migrate to.

IRC will be bridged both ways to the alternative we choose.

👍

the alternatives that have been mentioned are discord, zulip and matrix.

meh discord.

i'll give a little info about it and then we can open it up for discussion.

did you get an idea how much effort it would be to setup zuplip and matrix.

could we setup both and everyone test their favorite? then we vote?

matrix is the closest UI/UX to IRC. a single chat room.

zulip has a different UX, you need topics and streams etc.

sure i guess that makes more sense.

so i'll setup bridges from zulip and matrix to this channel and everyone can evaluate then

open for discussion

anything that doesn't require a bloated electron app is fine with me

if it isn't to much effort.

also feel free to suggest any other alternatives if you have in mind

If we keep the Discord bridge I don’t really care where the *real* message hosting is. We have the accessibility angle covered

fair point, rd

+swift

Zulip is run by nice people, met them as a mentor a few years ago. (That doesn’t mean it is good to go.)

zulip is a change in ux from irc.

indeed, same experience here.
