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.

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

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?
zas
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 ?
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?
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).
aerozol
Sounds like some guilty listens :P
(but more seriously, fair enough)
kellnerd
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 ☺️
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_
BrainzBot
You're doing good work, pranavkonidena_!
jasje
Next update will be a banger
maybe pranavkonidena_ might wanna say a few words?
(start by hello)
aerozol
They look offline, but we should invite them to the next meeting for sure!
jasje
saddie
akshaaatt: go!
kellnerd
Also offline?
lucifer
yup seems that way
reosarevok
Ok, thanks for the reviews!
jasje
</BANG>
reosarevok
nope
We have a bunch of topics on the agenda
jasje
oww
reosarevok
First: Discord bridge (aerozol, lucifer)
aerozol
Premature finish jasje! Don’t worry, it happens to everyone
jasje
xDDDD
aerozol
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
Kioiokiokio joined the channel
lucifer
yup
yvanzo
lucifer: are you connected through Discord at the moment?
lucifer
nope not at the moment
(fwiw i personally hate discord)
aerozol
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
monkey
I see no issue with that plan
jasje
+1
aerozol
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
yvanzo
👍
mayhem
not into #metabrainz, plz. #Musicbrainz I can see.
lucifer
for #metabrainz let's just wait a second, the next topic is about that.
aerozol
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
rdswift
If you're just testing first, perhaps a new channel?
aerozol
Done I think?
mayhem
I'm all for trying it. if it turns out to be a shit-show, we can always stop it.
aerozol
smaller scale tests have been done by lucifer already rdswift :)
lucifer
we control the bridge so we can turn it off anytime so not an issue
rdswift
I actually meant "evaluation" rather than test.
Always an issue when you take something away after granting it.
mayhem
can we move on now?
rdswift
Yup. Sorry.
reosarevok
Ok, so, we're testing it, and hoping the youths behave
Next, IRC alternatives (mayhem, lucifer)!
lucifer
🤞
mayhem wanna take the lead?
or should i?
mayhem
you go
opal has quit
lucifer
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.
opal joined the channel
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.
rdswift
👍
lucifer
the alternatives that have been mentioned are discord, zulip and matrix.
mayhem
meh discord.
lucifer
i'll give a little info about it and then we can open it up for discussion.
mayhem
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?
lucifer
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
bitmap
anything that doesn't require a bloated electron app is fine with me
mayhem
if it isn't to much effort.
lucifer
also feel free to suggest any other alternatives if you have in mind
aerozol
If we keep the Discord bridge I don’t really care where the *real* message hosting is. We have the accessibility angle covered
mayhem
fair point, rd

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