you should get an iterator from calling get_genre_activity that you can use in a loop to view data etc.

yes yes

Hi reosarevok, bitmap: For today’s releases, can we announce shutting down the Solr 7 search index dumps?

Does that involve anything else than the announcement?

If not, that seems good to me, I have a release draft up you can edit

yvanzo: hi, sounds good to me too

It doesn’t involve anything else. We will just stop it with zas next Monday I think.

Okay, I’m editing the drafts right now then.

Thanks!

yvanzo: relatedly to the release, should the docker release just have an extra line about "Update and improve documentation"?

Releasing prod, anyway :)

<lucifer[m]> "you should get an iterator..." <- Tried that ran into errors with setup of the Server inside the shell

whats the error?

reosarevok: hi, ill be skipping today’s meeting, just came from a long trip. Back to full swing tomorrow.

reosarevok: I‘ve updated the draft on WP.

[musicbrainz-docker] 14yvanzo merged pull request #314 (03master…fix-remirror-w-search): Fix instructions to recreate a mirror with search https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-docke...

So I am assuming I Need to define the client inside the pyspark shell

the stack trace is incomplete, share the rest of the error as well

ah sorry my bad

what are the setup commands that you ran?

I didn't run anything just created a new pyspark shell using the 8g command and ran the import

like i said before you need to do the setup first, run the first 8 lines of the setup script.

and then import genre activity and run it.

reosarevok: Probably yes, I can review the release notes once you did test the mirror update.

<reosarevok[m]> "yvanzo, lucifer: any idea if..." <- It is most likely due to legacy. See the parenthesis about `sortname` for area and label in https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Indexed_Search_Syntax

It would be perfectly fine to ignore that for new collection such as genre.

Ah, ok, so we should keep it for those but ignore for new :I)

* :)

Should we add a comment to the code explaining it's legacy and to not remove it? 😅

I’m not sure whether the docs or the sir's implementation are up-to-date/correct.

I would say they are, but I just checked the documentation, I did not test the actual current behavior.

Well, sortname does get indexed, at least

For those two

Hmm, actually

"sortnameequivalent to name (areas no longer have separate sort names)"

That's not true - we are indexing F("sortname", "aliases.sort_name"),

Release done, btw

<lucifer[m]> "and then import genre activity..." <- Finally a different [error](https://gist.github.com/granth23/95232d5ed5c0eff47ad4ab2bb14fc9bb)

holycow23: https://gist.github.com/granth23/95232d5ed5c0ef...

qualify the time_bracket at that line with table alias.

🎯

reosarevok: You might have to check git history then.

Welcome to another MetaBrainz Monday Meeting!

We have 3 mailed in reviews

aerozol says:

'''

Still nothing design-wise on the go, just keeping the socials turning over and keeping an eye on everything.

I’ve been trialling an unofficial “community meeting” on the Discord video channel (video and audio optional), 3 hours after the dev meeting, for a few weeks now.

A year or two ago I sat in on a NZ Wikipedian meeting to take notes and inspiration and I finally had the time and inclination to set something up.

I know not everyone likes Discord, but it was easiest to set something up there and this is a low-effort trial.

If it gains interest I am open to suggestions for more accessible video/voice channels.

Don’t worry, so far it has not gained much interest - but these things take time, and I am a patient man :)

I also had my first foray into AI, to create “my” first userscripts. I hope that “added data fasterer” outweighs “used AI” on the scales of justice, when judgement day comes.

While I have your attention, I want to again mention the new wiki page I made a while back: https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Picard_Resources

It has grown to be quite useful for searching for niche plugin and scripts. If you ever deal with Picard queries take a look, perhaps it will be helpful for you too.

Of course any more ‘formal’ information and guides should be stored in the Picard docs - this wiki page deals with the outliers.

Aww, aerozol misses us so much he just wants to have a meeting somewhere at a time he is awake!

(only a few more months! 😜)

Hello! Last week, I worked on adding cron jobs for deleting expired notifications and sending digest notifications.

This marks the end of phase 1 of my project. This week will be focused on reviews and testing.

Arararara~! hi!

Have closed INST-590 🎉

INST-590: Radhika's Mohan veena https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/INST-590

I'm currently working on INST-436 so expect that closing asap

INST-436: VM Bhatt's Mohan veena https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/INST-436

I sorted out flight tickets but the airbnb fell through, so now working on it 😓

Today I'm at a special function: https://www.oslopride.no/events/nevroworkshop-p... which is why reo is posting this instead of me :D

Next can be whoever ate fish last 🐟️

On my list for today: holycow23 , suvid , m.amanullah7 , Gautam_coder , Hemang Mishra , reosarevok, ansh , mayhem , monkey , lucifer , Jade , kellnerd , zas , outsidecontext , julian45 , yvanzo , bitmap

Who's the fishiest?

Uhh I ate fish last night?

Fish and chips 😋

I'm back from holiday now, back at it

Go Jade!

I guess we might as well, yes :)

Go Jade, then julian45 can go if he was writing about his fish exploits :p

<mayhem> "everyone: I just wanted to let..." <- Last week we arranged this :)

And I released https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/conti...

But otherwise not much has happened

julian45 go!

(ate fish sticks a few days ago, but jade was fishier so i held off :])

hi all!

worked on my rust chops a bit last week, did routine maintenance on SSO servers, unfortunately got sidetracked on other projects due to weather-induced datacenter outage at $dayjob and knock-on effects

(fun fact, it's 95°F out in the middle of june 🤪)

also booked flights for the summit!

julian45[m]: Also sweltering in the UK 🫠

that's all for me, go bitmap

hello

Still on my list for today: holycow23 , suvid , m.amanullah7 , Gautam_coder , Hemang Mishra , reosarevok, ansh , mayhem , monkey , lucifer , kellnerd , zas , outsidecontext , yvanzo

last week I updated the artwork-indexer and artwork-redirect services to python 3.13, and submitted a PR to update those plus mb-solr and sir (which was still on the python 2 version) in the MBS tests: https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...

opened another PR to update the supported browsers in MBS, which is on test.mb right now: https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...

made a lot of progress on the external links editor code refactoring too, but didn't quite finish that yet...

also submitted a couple other minor PRs for MBS/sir to update and/or remove dependencies, and did a bunch of code review for the release today

that's it for me. go ansh!

Hi Everyone!

Last week, I worked on rewriting some code from class based components to functional components. And rewriting tests for them

And migrating the brainzplayer context to Jotai to fix re-rendering issues.

Had a syncup call with holycow23 , and really happy that we’re on track to launch our first stat soon.

That’s it from my side

holycow23: next?

Sure

Hi everyone!

This week, I opened my first draft PR [#3308](https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-server/pull/3308), which includes the UI with hardcoded data, along with the actual code for generating user stats.

The backend code isn’t integrated with the frontend yet — I’m running tests separately to make sure everything works before connecting the two.

Also had a sync-up meeting with ansh to align on the next steps. Hopefully we can launch the first stat by the end of the week.

That’s it from my side

zas next?

Hmm, outsidecontext while we wait for zas?

sure, yes

sorry for missing the last two meetings. but today I'm back :)

last two weeks it was quite some code review and ticket handling for Picard. Also did some code cleanup and general code maintenance.

Also finally made some real progress in my branch for CLI handling for the new plugin system

that's it for today. next, lucifer?

lucifer ^

hi all!

last week, I mostly reviewed PRs from various GSoC students working on LB related projects.

tried to debug an issue with spark stats but no success so far.

a little work on MLHD similarity API data. and fixing a couple of small bugs here and there.

that's it for me. mayhem next?

hiya!

Still on my list for today: suvid , m.amanullah7 , Gautam_coder , Hemang Mishra , reosarevok, monkey , kellnerd , zas , yvanzo

last week I started summit prep and buying plane tickets for volunteers and invited Jade to join us as well -- and Jade has generously agreed to look after our live streaming for us!

then I spent quite a bit of time working on listenbrainz-local and now I am trying to get it to a first release so that other people can start helping out with more of the dev work. there is still lots to do.

availible

we also held a board meeting, which went well -- we have a great team doing a good job looking after us.

Jade[m]1: Oops, sorry (meant to ctrl f)

also, I had looked into seeing if we could move MeB to belgium. Beligum is a great place for open source non-profits, but sadly the EU and its VAT rules pretty much break any possibility of us moving to the EU. It would cost us at least 21% more and I am not willing to do that.
