last week was finishing some mapping improvements that led to some much improved match rates that should be clearly visible to everyone.
2021-11-29 33307, 2021

and then I started working on the last two playlists and I finished that task today.
2021-11-29 33333, 2021

The latest one is the top-missed tracks -- tracks that similar users to you listened to, but you didn't. seems interesting so far.
2021-11-29 33353, 2021

then the usual background stuff and some gateways ponderings.

A lot of time spent on playing whack-a-mole last week (more on this in a minute) and also try and keep up with other flags/reports. Also dealt with my birthday, so wasn’t around as much, but I tried to be around and about a bit at least.
We have a few items on today’s agenda, so let’s get started with…
2021-11-29 33338, 2021
Freso
reosarevok: theless/insolite

So, for the last... not sure, tbh - Freso, how long?
2021-11-29 33348, 2021
reosarevok
Anyway, at least a month, we've been dealing with a childish user who keeps vandalizing the database, mostly to try to make Freso and lately I feel bad, I guess, with homophobic attempts at fun
2021-11-29 33358, 2021
reosarevok
Also, for some reason, Lorde (?)
2021-11-29 33302, 2021
CatQuest
?
2021-11-29 33323, 2021
reosarevok
There's also been plenty of issues of vandalism on Jira, the forums, IRC at some point, etc
2021-11-29 33335, 2021
Freso
Yeah, at least a month with these attacks, but they’ve been a nuisance for quite a bit longer.
2021-11-29 33351, 2021
CatQuest
they've even started fucking with instruments now
2021-11-29 33325, 2021
reosarevok
Yeah. The whole thing started as users theless and insolite, who some of you might have seen (and reported) before, since they made decent edits but were completely unable to behave like normal human beings towards the rest of the community
2021-11-29 33351, 2021
reosarevok
Once those got banned, they started getting agitated and vandalizing and generally behaving like kids
2021-11-29 33312, 2021
CatQuest
and insult to children i think
2021-11-29 33319, 2021
reosarevok
(funnily enough, they seem to still think the problem was somehow with their edits, not their behaviour)
2021-11-29 33320, 2021
Freso
(theless _is_ insolite, in case the above formulation lead to confusion. They’re not multiple people, just a single one.)
2021-11-29 33326, 2021
reosarevok
Oh, yeah, fair enough :)
2021-11-29 33311, 2021
reosarevok
Anyway, we've been playing whack-a-mole, which while a nice source of paid hours for us (thanks for paying for my latest boardgame, insolite) is quite a waste of time for MeB and the MusicBrainz project
2021-11-29 33344, 2021
reosarevok
So, if you see any sort of vandalism, and the editor hasn't yet been deleted, please do let us know :)
2021-11-29 33353, 2021
reosarevok
And if you see edits removing it, please do vote for them
2021-11-29 33300, 2021
CatQuest
+1
2021-11-29 33330, 2021
reosarevok
Freso: anything I'm forgetting?
2021-11-29 33339, 2021
reosarevok
Same goes for Jira, IRC, etc - do get in touch
2021-11-29 33349, 2021
Freso
Yeah, I was about to say that ^ :)
2021-11-29 33306, 2021
reosarevok
Oh, and they apparently have recently started vandalizing Wikidata too, for some reason, so if you see something there, you can let me know and I can get someone to deal with that
2021-11-29 33350, 2021
Freso
(Which might also mean they’ll try and spread to other adjacent projects. So keep an eye out.)
2021-11-29 33351, 2021
reosarevok
A lot of the vandalism is in Russian, but if you see Рео (Reo) or Фресо (Freso) that's a good sign the whole thing is probably vandalism, so do report in case maybe
2021-11-29 33316, 2021
reosarevok
Worst case scenario, we figure out it was not and do nothing :)
2021-11-29 33342, 2021
reosarevok
Freso: anything else? :) ruaok: any comments about anything I might have missed?
2021-11-29 33358, 2021
ruaok
nothing really
2021-11-29 33300, 2021
CatQuest
feel free to ask me for votes on edits removing vandalism
2021-11-29 33323, 2021

Alright, I think that’s that for now then. Thanks reosarevok :)

zas: aretha load
2021-11-29 33301, 2021
zas
we have problems with this server, as the load (mainly due I/O) is quite high during some cron jobs
2021-11-29 33335, 2021
zas
it leads to a non responsive server, ie. I tested log in to ftp taking > 10 seconds when it happens
2021-11-29 33322, 2021
zas
so, please, take care about what's running there, this server was meant for file storage mainly, it has huge but slow HDDs, and software RAID

also, this is chunking 5 users at a time because i messed up a back of the hand calculation earlier (somehow i arrived at 100 users stats json size to be 300 MB 🤦) so i thought to start small. will shift to 100 when this run completes.
