I have one mailed in review:

Mōrena/pō mārie!

I finally had a lull in my workload last week, and tried to find some fun MeB stuff to de-stress.

So I spent a couple of days making nice mockups, in the style of the Picard ‘box’ image.

- Crate images for MetaBrainz dataset downloads (thanks for the idea outsidecontext): https://github.com/metabrainz/metabrainz.org/pu...

- A ListenBrainz website preview image: LB-1572

LB-1572: Add preview/social/meta image https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-1572

- A ListenBrainz server update image: https://mastodon.social/@metabrainz/11233732130...

And @5225225, on Discord, reported a typo in a LB settings page and I got carried away finding more stuff to fix: https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-serv...

Thanks for fixing the pr for me monkey.

Otherwise, Lucy-Belle gets back on Saturday, and I bought an airfryer as a surprise (she’s wanted one for a while). I have been testing it out, can recommend!

Yay for fries

:D

Pratha-Fish: wanna go?

Hi all!

Got nothing much for this week haha

🙋

Still in my list: derat, huhridge, jasje, JadedBlueEyes, pranav, Tarun_0x0, mayhem, rimskii, atj, monkey, yvanzo, yellowhatpro, theflash__, reosarevok, ansh, zas, ApeKattQuest, akshaaatt, kellnerd, lucifer, bitmap

Just exam stuff

good luck fish

But it feels good to be back to the meetings :))

Looking forward to be back to contributing code as well!!

Fin 🐟

Oh and not to mention, seeing this year's GSoC applicants :))

Fin for real now 🐟

ApeKattQuest: next?

Arararara~! hi!

Have done INST-1082 and worked on INST-912,

INST-1082: mashak https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/INST-1082

INST-912: Mizwad https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/INST-912

which includes figuring out if INST-924 is actually a bagpipe or not, since apparently according to http://web.archive.org/web/20060619121042/http:... (which is the source on the wikipedia page, which also mentions the assumed error in Grove*) it *ISNT*

INST-924: Zukra https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/INST-924

so if anyone out there in MB~land knows anything about this I'd very much love any info you can give me!

but anyway that's the end of Bagpipes! once I figure out this and add the last one I'll be writing a blogpost - look forward to it!

After that I'll be taking a mini-holiday but after I'll be back with more instruments (and hopefully, books!)

That's it for me, other than trying to stave off this throat-cold that wants to put a foot in.

over to reosarevok

Hi!

Last week I worked more on reviewing our eslint rules and updating them, fixing some bugs in the process

I also translated a bit, dealt with user reports, and reviewed code, as usual :)

This week, probably more of the same, plus some more code review and testing for schema change stuff

mayhem: what about you?

hi!

Still in my list: derat, huhridge, jasje, JadedBlueEyes, pranav, Tarun_0x0, rimskii, atj, monkey, yvanzo, yellowhatpro, theflash__, ansh, zas, akshaaatt, kellnerd, lucifer, bitmap

last week was about picking up the task of chasing people to pay us more.

then I spent a lot of time getting LB radio packages and released back into prod. sadly zero feedback so far.

then there was some gsoc, some PRs, emails a couple of calls and the usual stuff for me.

mayhem: music radio is one-way, duh

and talking lots with monkey about LB and about how happy I am that brainzplayer is working well now.

(did you make a forum post and/or blog post?)

both.

and today spotify asked me a question, so I straight up pestered them for a quota extension for LB. so far no resistance. :)

we'll see how that goes, because a lot of spotify errors are because of the quota limit.

still, monkey and ansh, GOOD WORK. BrainzPlayer is delightful now.

go monkey !

Oooh, artist:(Blümchen). That should be full of bangers.

Hello!

reosarevok: :)

Last week was mostly working on the single-page application and other associated refactors with ansh

We merged and deployed our main feature branch, and people are helping to test in the forums, so even better soon :°

And also some PR reviewing and ticket triage

Go go huhridge

hey everyone!

not a lot of updates, just wanted to pop in to say hello!

been busy with exams, looking forward to continuing my work on LB-1401

LB-1401: Manually add album listens https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-1401

👋

and looking forwad to GSoC ofc!

that's it for me!

We’re waiting for GSoC results too!

go yvanzo

Hi!

Still in my list: derat, jasje, JadedBlueEyes, pranav, Tarun_0x0, rimskii, atj, yellowhatpro, theflash__, ansh, zas, akshaaatt, kellnerd, lucifer, bitmap

Last week, I worked on addressing index issues caused by long text filled in recording’s title.

This is the uppermost nonsensical work in a while I have to say.

It should be fixed in production today or tomorrow.

I also kept preparing search upgrades, plus usual support.

Fin, go derat!

howdy, everyone!

#3191 was merged for MBS-7646 with refactoring suggestions from bitmap; it's in beta now (and more thanks to bitmap for creating #3252 to fix a bad beta/prod interaction reported at MBS-13560)

MBS-7646: Show alias next to entity name in search and relations https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-7646

MBS-13560: Beta: Artist page not displayed anymore https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-13560

i also filed MBS-13563 about making Autocomplete2 italicize aliases and sort names, and sent #3248 to resolve it

MBS-13563: Autocomplete2 should italicize primary aliases and sort names https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-13563

i think that's it for me. zas, want to go next?

hey

last week was mostly about continuing on Picard refactoring, paving the way to Picard3

we finally managed to get rid of annoying stuff we had to keep since years in order to not break plugins, but with Picard3 we break plugins anyway (that's the upcoming work)

apart that, I block even more bot queries, causing huge load on mb website (one bot alone is using 10k+ IPs)

Are those the dodgy AI bots?

I also helped atj on new solr cloud front

reosarevok: yes

Jesus. And they say they work on "good" safe AI. Don't show it for sure.

plus usual user support, system upgrades & supervision. fin. jasje ?

jasje: <BANG>

zas: someone else? :)

me ?

Tarun_0x0: go

Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a great start to the week.

Still in my list: jasje, JadedBlueEyes, pranav, rimskii, atj, yellowhatpro, theflash__, ansh, akshaaatt, kellnerd, lucifer, bitmap

Not much to report on my end

Last week was full of external vivas, project presentations, class tests, and coping with the soaring temperatures here in India.

and just some failing test fixing on my own PR

That's it , kellnerd : next ?

Hello :)

Last week was another Harmony week which started with lots of minor improvements to UI (e.g. sticky navigation bar, color tweaks) and DX (e.g. automated deployments).

Then I finally worked on resolving external URLs to MBIDs, a feature which was long overdue. Looking good so far, only caching is not finished.

In order to have shorter cache keys and canonical URLs everywhere, I made provider URL parsing and formatting generic, which also simplified the provider implementations in the end.

After all that refactoring I wanted to do something more fun, so I did write a Bandcamp provider over the weekend :)

Once MBID caching is ready, it is about time to write an announcement post in the forums I guess.

That's it, bitmap next?

hey

I mostly continued working on schema change / postgres upgrade tickets, and did some code review

currently I'm working on finishing the PG12 -> PG16 upgrade script, along with an additional test script for the upgrade that invokes it on some test containers that mimic the production ones

then I'd like to start performing tests on a copy of the production database this week

Yay proper tests

fin. go ansh!

Hi Everyone!

Last week I worked on BrainzPlayer SPA feature. I worked on refactoring a couple of class components to functional components.

And majorly spent time on the SPA Feature Branch. Merged all the PRs into the feature branch, made couple of final changes.

I’m pretty happy that the branch is finally merged and currently deployed on beta.

I also spent some time reviewing PRs.

That’s it for me.

!m ansh

You're doing good work, ansh!

atj: next?

hello

last week i continued working on the Solr 9 cluster set up

I ended up migrating all the nodes to new arm64 VMs after testing a single node for compatibility and performance

now seeing approx. double the performance with much more consistency (Hetzner arm hosts seem to be less loaded than the x64 ones)

and the cost is ~30% cheaper

also worked on the Grafana Solr 9 dashboard to I could visualise the impact of my load testing and work out what area to focus on

Well, good thing it didn't cost an arm and a leg, and we're now well armed
