        I had a lovely time in India at the summit and visiting. Thanks fort being so welcoming!
      • Have been thoroughly enjoying all the indian snacks I brought back.
      • Last week I worked in tandem with ansh to improve the artist pages on ListenBrainz
      • Better album sorting and grouping, the current iteration is on test: https://test.listenbrainz.org/artist/056e4f3e-d...
      • ApeKattQuest
        eehh lmao theimages
      • monkey[m]
        And doing some of the usual updates, security tickets and whatnot, as well as creating tickets and organizing things after the summit discussions
      • That's me, reosarevok wanna go?
      • reosarevok[m]
        Hi!
      • Last week I was traveling and resting, and I only got back to work on Friday
      • Friday and today I was catching up with stuff (reports, wikidata bot, genres)
      • And working on the eslint 9 migration
      • The plugins that did not support eslint 9 now do, which is great
      • Less great is that they're detecting issues with guess case code (which is to this day a terrible ball of spaghetti) so I've spent several hours trying to make it suck less
      • More of that ahead
      • ApeKattQuest
        omnomnom spaghetti code
      • reosarevok[m]
        Other than that, the usual support (still haven't fully caught up with all of it, but getting there)
      • Next can be ApeKattQuest (IRC)?
      • ApeKattQuest
        Arararara~! hi!

      • ApeKattQuest
        I spent the last week being fairly ill :(
      • but I'm feeling much better now!
      • I've been looking at the ravanahatta https://beta.musicbrainz.org/instrument/959b623... (if you remember the guy at the restaurant, this is the instrument he played :D)
      • in that vein I had completed my very first instrument image upload using github, with help from reosarevok!
      • so this week I will be looking into more indian instruments, and, eventually, finally finishing the "Veena" mini-version some time hopefully this month!
      • I also, thanks to monkey! (just earlier) had my Very First patch merged :O
      • in not so computer news. I'm going to have to get a move on to paint my window before it starts getting winter here. hey norway amirite? πŸ™„
      • that's it for me

        Hi Everyone!
      • Last week I spent time working on the donors page and the donors card on the LB Feed Page.
      • Worked on refactoring the Artist Page - Sorting and Grouping the Release Groups.
      • Spent time on reviewing a couple of PRs and fixed an issue causing the website to throw errors on the stats page
      • That’s it for me.
      • zas (IRC): next?
      • zas[m] joined the channel
      • zas[m]
        Hey
      • Last week was mostly about upgrades, support related to IA downtime, and few blocked users.
      • Plus a lot of edits (mainly releases I didn't add during our travel), now with a lot of pending cover art additions...
      • That's it for me. lucifer?
      • lucifer
      • kellnerd: ?

        Hi all!
      • Last week I was still recovering from my four week journey around the India summit and tidying up.
      • I still haven't managed to prepare an awesome masala chai, everything I tried so far was ok at most.
      • At least I managed to finally release the Harmony update which has been on hold for about three months.
      • monkey[m]
        kellnerd[m]: I feel that
      • kellnerd[m]
        Although I thought I had finished it during the summit, I still had to deal with some rarer cases and a bug.

      • lucifer[m]
        after the summit, i went with mayhem and akshaaatt to the gsoc mentor summit. had some nice conversations there as well.
      • also helped mayhem with an accounting script.
      • i have been mostly away for the past two weeks but will be working normal hours starting today/tomorrow.
      • that's it for me. akshaaatt next?
      • reosarevok[m]
        Maybe yvanzo can go while we wait for akshaaatt?
      • yvanzo[m]
        Alright!
      • Just back from my extended stay after the summit.
      • Thanks to lucifer, ansh, jasje, and theflash for welcoming us.
      • Congratulations to yellowhatpro for having completed his project: https://blog.metabrainz.org/2024/10/07/gsoc-202...
      • Otherwise I just dealt with maintenance issues, support, and tickets triage. Looking forward for new test servers!

        last few weeks were about wrapping up the project
      • last week was more chilling and I didn't do much, except went through a lot of sentry messages
      • feels good reading the comments on the blog post, seems the project melba would be really helpful.

        Hii!
      • Good to see everyone back! :)
      • I've just got back from a trip doing rock climbing in Cheddar Gorge, so I'm a bit tired haha
      • Uni's been a bit stressful adapting to stuff again (and organising stuff like the trip)
      • Right now I'm looking for a placement for my year in industry for 2025/26
      • I'd also like to start making small PRs to enable MBS-13719 piece by piece so everyone can enjoy that :)

      • Jade[m]
        rimskii next?
      • ApeKattQuest
        ..
      • reosarevok[m]
        Is any of rimskii, twodoorcoupe, pranav, ericd, akshaaatt around?
      • (GSoC is over so it's always the time to figure out who is sticking around or isn't and people not being around is expected :) )
      • rimskii, twodoorcoupe, pranav, ericd, akshaaatt
      • yvanzo[m]
        Maybe using their handles: rimskii, twodoorcoupe, pranav, ericd, akshaaatt?
      • reosarevok[m]
        Oh hi!
      • Go then :)

        oops
      • im here !
      • thanks
      • Hi everyone!
      • ApeKattQuest
        🌊
      • rimskii[m]
        Glad everyone came back
      • Honestly, havnet worked that much on project, mostly now doing my uni stuff
      • But I would like to stick around for a bit to finish some moments!
      • So will start to work from now onπŸ˜„
      • thats it !
      • next akshaaatt ?
      • reosarevok[m]
        Unless anyone else appears in two minutes, we'll move to the other topics :)
      • Last call for pranav, akshaaatt, ericd and twodoorcoupe
      • Ok, let's move on
      • zas: AX102s?
      • zas[m]
        As discussed during the summit, I'll order a new AX102 server in order to replace 3 old PX61
      • I was waiting for all to come back from travels, as we need to coordinate mainly with bitmap yvanzo atj and me to do the move
      • It should happen this week (depending on Hetzner)
      • Once the new server is there, we move stuff to it, and retire 3 old servers, and then we'll do it again the week after for remaining 3.
      • yvanzo[m]
        What are the names of the 3 PX61s again?
      • zas[m]
        zappa, ludwig, serge, paco, trille, hip (2 groups of 3)
      • ApeKattQuest
        🐟️
      • zas[m]
        That's it for me.
      • reosarevok[m]
        Ok, please do let me know where wikidata-bot ends up :)
      • zas[m]
        reosarevok: sure ;)
      • reosarevok[m]
        I have one last topic: offensive usernames
      • ApeKattQuest
        ohno
      • reosarevok[m]
        We haven't really had any policing over usernames ever, but we recently got a report by somebody who got hurt by someone else's (probably unintentionally) ableist username
      • We also have a fair amount of usernames which are clearly offensive, but have so far offended nobody enough to get them reported
      • ApeKattQuest
        sigh
      • reosarevok[m]
        I was wondering what people feel should happen with these. I don't feel like we should start blocking usernames on registration (that never works well anyway)
      • But I'd like some opinions on what should happen if someone does get offended by a username and reports it
      • At the very least I guess we could contact the user and ask if they would mind changing the username since someone has felt hurt by it, and if so to let us know what would be a good name
      • But I'm not sure about enforcing a change if the user would disagree πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
      • yvanzo[m]
        Honestly, the point 1. of MeB CoC covers it already: β€œBe polite.” - https://metabrainz.org/code-of-conduct
      • ApeKattQuest
        my kneejerk reaction is *deal with it*
      • only if said person was intentionally going after people with their offensive name. say a transfobic named person bullying trans people, a racist etc
      • but yea. if it's not *intnetional*...
      • reosarevok[m]
        yvanzo: "be polite" certainly would cover intentional offense, but I'm not sure if it covers "I made a joke username and someone got hurt" :/
      • kellnerd[m] admits that he collects funny/offensive usernames
      • ApeKattQuest
        if it's not intentional people might be more inclined to cange a name. but i also feel it might be.. rude to demand something esp if it's a different international name
      • yea, that
      • it depends what "hurt" means here. like how offensive is this name?
      • like there is an user caleld "fukker" which i always felt a bit. "eh" towards but. whatever
      • yvanzo[m]
        Just offer to rename in case it is unintentional. If they don’t agree with, just block them.
      • Jade[m]
        I mean, I don't think there's any harm in requesting the user change the name in this case
      • reosarevok[m]
        I guess for now I'll start with that
      • yvanzo[m]
        Thanks everyone!
      • reosarevok[m]
        And if they say they'd rather not it'd depend on how and with what reasoning they do :)
      • So I'll cross that bridge if I get there
      • Ok, that's it for today then! Thanks everyone, and see you next week at the same time!
      • ApeKattQuest
        still feel *kinda* wrong about asking someoen to change theri name whne a) we don't literally say you can't do this" and we don't sepsify wich words are wrong or not.
      • reosarevok[m]
        (reminder that European time change is at the end of the month, be prepared for annoying changes!)
      • For now,
