I've thought of that as well lets see.

resolve.conf uses the routers DNS, not someone else. lets start with fixing that.

leave "ping 1.1.1.1" running for an while and see if there are any timeouts

this place looks worth a visit: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipNxNVF...

no timeouts, atj

mayhem: you mean slow login though ssh right?

atj: that's in BCN, no?

zas: yes

changed DNS to 8.8.8.8 and rebooting for good measure.

mayhem: yes, near the gothic quarter

you can try ssh -vv to get some debug output

huh. pinging the RPI from my desktop gets packet loss. WTF>

wifi or wired?

I am on wifi, the RPi is wired.

we do have two routers in the office. the first one is from our carrier and has no wifi, but knows how to talk to fibre.

the other one is a good ASUS router with OSS firmware.

the RPi sits between these two routers.

meh, right now I can't even log into it.

now I can, everythign is fine.

which airbnb?

Carrer de Nàpols

still unclear.

#1 or #2?

#1 but that address is wrong AFAICS

#2 is verified correct as per airbnb

where did you see this?

on the airbnb booking page

the addresses I have on the wiki are the ones I got from the confirmation emails.

not sure where this confusion comes from. when I check in I will ensure that the wiki is up to date.

OK no worries, I was just adding some pins to Google Maps and noticed that the "Get Directions" link takes you to a different street than the one listed as the address

lucifer: ok, that PR look good to me. any others I need to look at?

mayhem: LB#2153

chinmay: how are you doing? back on track now?

hello any french (speaking) people!

I am somewhat stumpet. is this really how to say "piano accordeon" in french? https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accord%C3%A9on_%C...

lit accordeon touches piano? :D

is this what yo uwoudl expec as a french instrument name

is this what you would except as a french instrument name

mayhem: i think the export playlist to spotify function could go into troi.

makes sense

cool, i'll try to add it there then.

mayhem: yes I am. I was just working on a draft PR in the other tab :)

cool!

I haven't committed the work on filters yet. It's embarrassing

CatQuest: yes, "accordéon à touches piano" looks correct to me. It differs from usual accordéon by the fact it has a piano keyboard ("touches piano")

aha!

(the reason I ask is that most oher's say something like "piano/key//klavier-accoreon")

I will use this alias then. thank you!

I guess "accordéon à clavier piano" would work too, not sure what musicians are using the most

I honestly expected something dull like "accordéon à clavier" so this name is a bit interesting :)

It's just "with piano keys" :)

Very descriptive :D

it seems "accordéon à touches piano" is the most common name, though it is also called "accordéon piano"

I mean, it says literally that the accordeon is *touching* the piano so...

touche = key ;)

ooohhh

false friends

it comes from "toucher" (= to touch)

innorwegian suc is a "tangent"

In Spanish for example you "touch" an instrument rather than "play" it

because one actually touchs the keys with his fingers

So I guess it's all connected :)

in norwegian you play on an instrument

"touche" is used form computer keyboards too, "la touche M est cassée"

s/form/for/ ;)

yvanzo: does solving 1) here seem good enough? https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...

but computer keys is taster so computer keyboard is "tastatur" while piano keyboard is .. well tangentur (or jsut "tangenter")

yvanzo: (if you have an idea to solve 2) that'd be great)

Hmm, in Spanish both are "tecla"

heh

i've seen "tecla!"

I'm sure tecla, tangent/tast and touche are etymologically related

Quite possible, although not necessarily just because their forms are similar

is it a k c or a sh c reo?

Proto languages gets complicated an full of false friends

sure. but I can imagine "tast" and "touche" sounds

yes. and vowel and consonant changes

But I'm sure you'd find in this case a root connected to "tactile" in all the aforementioned languages

oh yes!

latin isn't it

Spanish c is pretty much always k except before e and i

(where it's z-ish in most of Spain, and I guess s-ish elsewhere + in some parts of the south of Spain

)

hmm.. i'm trying ot remember the palces norwegian has c and it's *not* a "k" sound and my first idea was "cecilie" and "cello"

so e

wonder if our use of it (usually only in propernames)

ctually comes fro mthe same origin as spanish.. well it comes via danish

but i wodner if the rule about only sh/z infront of e/i is the same

cecillie does *indeed* sound liek zezzilie

oh well, visa app got refused again :(

🤬

oh, btw zas, what woudl be the french for this https://beta.musicbrainz.org/instrument/36f5262... ?

there is no alias on wikidata or fr-wiki present

and out extant fr alias is.. wonky

and https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/fcmEH...

lucifer: country?

chinmay: sorry not sure what you meant?

18:08 <lucifer> oh well, visa app got refused again :(

For what country?

ah ok. i meant schengen visa application to visit Spain to attend the summit got refused.

Ah

That's sad

lucifer: sigh. Do they give any reason?

I don't think so

Are the main airports in large Indian cities situated somewhere which would allow the good old strategy "get to the airport, rent something outside the city, get people there, never go *into* the city at all"? :p

Or are they of the "you're doomed to drive through the city" style :p

Anyway, none of this helps you for this year :(

Well, in case it's any consolation, you get to join the best part of the team (that is, me) via zoom!

(I know it's not much consolation)

delhi airport is in the city and has great metro/train connectivity. i am not aware of other airports.

yeah but no worries. there's always a next time. maybe next year...

hah indeed

The problem of "great metro/train connectivity" is that you're still inside an insane mass of humans :D

(although it's still better than many airports then)

According to https://www.census2011.co.in/census/state/distr... only three districts of Delhi have less people than the entire *country* I live in, lol

I assume those have grown since too! :D

yeah don't think there's anyway way around number of people here.

lol yes probably

gahhh, not again!

my city is a small one by indian standards but still over 200K people. https://www.census2011.co.in/census/city/9-hosh...

yeah :(

what really pisses me off is the audacity that you need to show plane tickets and accomodation receipts when applying. and then you get turned down.

pisses me off.

Yeah, that's absolute bullshit

yeah indeed.

and getting a tourist visa is probable even harder no?

Now at least I'd assume so, since it's not like it's a new name

i'd assume so, yes.

might be easier actually, things tend to get more complicated once business is involved

I mean, can't hurt to try, maybe?

Other than emotionally, with a tinge of despair?

do you have to pay to apply?

it won't get processed in time for this year in any case.

atj: about 10k INR.

lucifer: check it out to see if it is a possibilty. happy to cover costs.

lucifer: also, there are companies that get visa on behalf of people. sometimes those pull more weight because they are being used by business people for last minute travel.

lucifer: and they take it even if they reject you? fucking hell

if we can find someone like that, I've got some money for that.

mayhem: they ask for a 15 day buffer period before the date of travel.
