Last week I was working on improvements to the Art Creator feature in ListenBrainz. Fixing album grids, adding a new template, and promoting the feature from "beta" status

I had a video chat with aerozol and looked into a new design for YIM, one that minimizes changes from year to year to reduce the work required from the team each year
2025-11-03 30715, 2025

I continued investigating and fixing issues with brainzplayer, but not quite out of the woods yet...
2025-11-03 30753, 2025

And looked into relationship attributes in BookBrainz, soecifically in the context of an ongoing discussion about translated works

Last week I merged [@fettuccinae:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/@fettuccinae:matrix.org)'s new email templates and published them as a new release
2025-11-03 30735, 2025
Jade[m]
Also sent a chase email to my supervisor, but no response

However I do have a little prototype that can index the MBIDs and the ReplayGain, etc of my 30gb library remarkably quickly
2025-11-03 30723, 2025
Jade[m]
And the database backend is pluggable, which is fun
Mōrena! Morning! I'm back in meetings 'in person', when I can drag my ass up at a breezy 7am

Spent a decent chunk of time on the new YiM mockup, which I'm feeling very pleased with. I think it's a step forward the team in terms of making things easier, as well as an improvement for users
2025-11-03 30716, 2025

now the LB team "just" has to build it :D

Last week I looked closer into the SoundCloud provider for Harmony.
2025-11-03 30710, 2025
kellnerd[m]
Reviewing turned quickly refactoring, also showing a few places where I can improve the general (testing) architecture.
2025-11-03 30741, 2025
kellnerd[m]
Plus a bit of MB editing, that's it.

mostly maintenance work this past week:
2025-11-03 30734, 2025
julian45[m]
- brought our matrix server & supporting infra (such as draupnir, the modbot) up to date by incorporating recent changes from the upstream for the ansible tooling we use
2025-11-03 30701, 2025
julian45[m]
- also brought authentik (SSO tool) from 2025.8.something to freshly released 2025.10.1
2025-11-03 30728, 2025
julian45[m]
- did updates on both supporting servers' OSes
2025-11-03 30749, 2025
julian45[m]
on the non-maintenance front, i also began to spin up a [maubot](https://mau.bot) instance for chatbrainz! it is essentially a very very extensible bot tool for matrix and i envision our instance to be the matrix-native version of brainzbot
2025-11-03 30719, 2025
julian45[m]
[Jade](https://matrix.to/#/@jade:continuwuity.org) has already done some great work to implement some of the core things we get from brainzbot as maubot "plugins" (thank you!!!)
2025-11-03 30758, 2025
julian45[m]
i plan to work with [lucifer](https://matrix.to/#/@lucifer:chatbrainz.org) et al in the near future to confirm what features still need to be covered and then phase in maubot
2025-11-03 30721, 2025

fin, go [lucifer](https://matrix.to/#/@lucifer:chatbrainz.org)?

last week I mostly continued working on the artist credit editor validation for the React recording edit form, which is nearly done, and a patch to improve the subscription emails script performance

Last week, I was mostly travelling, so couldn't do much
2025-11-03 30740, 2025

I did get some time and reviewed couple of PRs for LB.
2025-11-03 30757, 2025

last week was deadling with some accounting headaches and lots of emails and a couple of meetings.
2025-11-03 30751, 2025
mayhem[m]
and then I started working on the CAA cache, a system that anyone should be able to deploy with ease to make a caching CAA mirror server.
2025-11-03 30713, 2025
mayhem[m]
hopefully we can get projects and others to setup public caches to take the load off the IA.
2025-11-03 30737, 2025
mayhem[m]
still not sleeping great, so progress was limited, but hoping that will clear up by the end of the week.
2025-11-03 30757, 2025

hopefully more productive next week -- we'll see. 🤞

2025-11-03 30757, 2025
reosarevok[m]
And I did a few other small bits of code and code review
2025-11-03 30725, 2025

Then today I updated the prod MB servers, and I'm off to France to mostly eat and chill until Sunday
