lol at Crowdstrike, amazing scenes. On a Friday too.

this is what you get for relying on M$: https://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2024/...

and remember, the cloud is just someone else's computer.

<05rustynova> My work is also impacted today. So it's chill day here~

Well for once it's not actually an MS issue. I've been forced to install CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor on quite a few Linux boxes. I suspect a bad update would have a similar impact.

Somewhat ironic that CS have now caused more damage than their software would ever have prevented. The C-suite must be having fun waiting for the markets to open.

bitmap, Jade, reosarevok: I just created a project in Weblate and invited you all as admin.

Thanks!

Well, I guess the strike bit was a fair name 🤷‍♂️

yvanzo: I see in your forum post you mentioned MBS-6741 is overdue - which I kinda agree with, so I should maybe look into it :)

MBS-6741: Include subdivision and country in the webservice when returning an area https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-6741

But I understand for search we're still not at the point where we can make equivalent improvements?

reosarevok: Do you remember the discussion from last year you mentioned in comment?

Indeed, for search we are still stuck with indexer updates for now.

IIRC it was basically that I was thinking originally to do it as an include, but bitmap suggested that he thought it would actually make sense to always return this unless we see a big performance hit - I don't think it was a lot deeper than that

So the expected impact in performance has to be calculated.

Yeah

The table area_containment still has to be queried recursively (and area for each parent).

Hmm. Does it need recursive querying?

Oh then it is flattened already, great :)

Yeah, that should probably work easily enough

reosarevok will it be upward/parent or downward/child recursive? The latter would help me. It will enable area search for FestivalGuide.

It's not area search right now, it's just that when we show what is the area for an artist or something, we'll also show the parent areas up to the country

Ah okay, then I misunderstood.

monkey: ansh is this a known problem or should I ask for them to create a ticket? https://community.metabrainz.org/t/error-when-m...

mayhem: I don't think this is a known issue, please ask them to either create a ticket or report it in the comments of this ticket: LB-1401

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

will do.

matrix/element is such a pleasure to use. thanks again for all the hard work on this front, lucifer !

any idea about this or should I go delve into that?

i'll check

well, I can 't get out bank account unblocked today. our bank is totally down.

I just can understand how half the internet has a SPoF.

actually, never mind that, it totally makes sense.

turns out half the internet has a buggy rootkit disguised as "antimalware" software installed :/

and somehow no one thought this was a bad idea. amazing.

security folks i follow on social media have been complaining about crowdstrike for a while, apparently it doesn't just have a kernel driver but also injects code into applications, and is a big source of confusing "there's no way that could happen" crashes in applications :/

Is there a separate place to list topics for the summit or is it meant to go on https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/MusicBrainz_Summit/24 but we have none yet?

reosarevok: i think agenda and hack sessions are there so topics would also go there.

Ok

No one is talking about how Microsoft independently had their own outage on half of Azure

But they get a free pass because CS did a bigger doodoo

i've heard some speculation that the azure outage might have been the cause of the cs outage, heh.

(purely speculation tho, i have no idea if there's any actual connection)

lucifer: when you have some time, see "Unable to log in to ListenBrainz"

I just realised something! I couldn’t get into my bank app the other day. I thought I had suddenly forgotten my pin/was overthinking what my pin was instead of using muscle memory :D But was probably thanks to the crowd striking

lucifer: Just reply that the fault is on CS 😉

Speaking of cluster fucks, X locked me out of the musicbrainz account unless I added a birthdate. So I added the MB “birthday” because anyone would be able to figure it out, and now X has locked the account because MB was “not of age when the account was created” 🤦

I sent them my name and ID, if someone could please forward emails to t*****r@metabrainz.org to me (or PM me login details for that email). I board a flight in a bit so that gives them a week to reply! Should be enough even for a big tech company...
