Last week there was a problem with the Picard Docs on Weblate.
2026-08-03 21543, 2026
reosarevok[m]
A new contributor had completed a significant number of translations into Swedish.
2026-08-03 21543, 2026
reosarevok[m]
Weblate showed the language as approximately 30% complete.
2026-08-03 21551, 2026
reosarevok[m]
I added the contributor to the acknowledgements page, but after 2 days this change still hadn't showed up on Weblate, and their translations hadn't showed up in our repo on GitHub.
2026-08-03 21559, 2026
reosarevok[m]
With significant help from outsidecontext , over about 4 days we were able to get Weblate to finally show the new translator's name in the translation strings, but Weblate dropped ALL of the translations that the translator had entered!
2026-08-03 21507, 2026
reosarevok[m]
The commits that Weblate had created for the translations were never pushed to the repo on GitHub (but Weblate did push over 500 commits with no changes other than the date in the PO files headers), and Weblate removed all traces of the translation commits from its repo and system.
2026-08-03 21510, 2026
reosarevok[m]
Needless to say, I contacted the translator to explain the situation (that all of their work had been lost), and apologized profusely.
2026-08-03 21510, 2026

I don't know if they will ever contribute again (and I can understand if they don't).

During the last weeks I've been reviewing PRs for Harmony and my other open source stuff.
2026-08-03 21539, 2026
kellnerd[m]
For Harmony there will be a Melon provider soon and there was a discussion (and a PR) for handling Qobuz barcodes without check digit.
2026-08-03 21503, 2026
kellnerd[m]
With MetaBrainz OAuth finally being available, I thought about not only using that to import tags to MB but also make login mandatory for Harmony to lock out bots.
2026-08-03 21550, 2026

I was surprised by receiving the first contribution for my Dark Side of MB userstyle as well.

Last week, I primarily focused on performance improvements for ListenBrainz. I refactored LB Radio to make direct database calls instead of API calls, reducing WSGI thread usage. I also added a caching layer on top of the popularity endpoints and parallelized a couple of database queries while fetching feed events to improve performance.

In addition, I worked on the frontend for notification settings in ListenBrainz and continued reviewing GSoC PRs.
