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

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

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

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. 🤞

Last week I converted the rest of the discid/cdtoc code to React
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

you can use the MB replica on wolf directly?

we can provide you with access to wolf.
2025-11-03 30705, 2025
Jade[m]
That would probably be helpful
2025-11-03 30733, 2025
Jade[m]
But I'd need to come up with a better solution in the long run, because this is meant to be selfhosted
2025-11-03 30711, 2025
Jade[m]
Probably needs to be a combination of things, the first being the ability to work on just the IDs and fill in data in the background, prioritising data that the user needs so they don't actually need to wait
2025-11-03 30718, 2025
mayhem[m]
Jade: what data do you need? just basic metadata or do you need a full MB db? Because the mapper will have a "self contained" copy of all the canonical data in a SQLite DB. I wonder if that could meet your needs?
2025-11-03 30723, 2025
Jade[m]
The main thing that is needed is the core hierarchy of relations, IE artist -> release group -> release - > tracklist -> recording (although in the inverse order) to be able to categorise what's in the library, but then it later needs the rest of the database for UI chrome
2025-11-03 30709, 2025
Jade[m]
So a relatively different set than the mapper, I think?
2025-11-03 30716, 2025
Jade[m]
Oh also ideally there would be relatively low talent from applied to the mb database to being able to pull it into the application, as people add new releases into mb so they can have them in their library for example
