i think it would make sense to make a utility function for copying stuff and use it all around the website.

Indeed

the python file needs a change because i updated how we access db connections, i'll pull and update

Thanks! Can you also look at the failing .py tests while you're in there?

sure

I'll deal with the front-end ones

aerozol: Morning! I think the new homepage is ready for prime-time, but would love your opinion if there are some quick improvements : https://test.listenbrainz.org/?redirect=false

It's not perfect in all screen sizes, and we may want to revisit how it looks on horizontal mobile screens in particular, but we'll need to think about that for a bit to find a good solution, which may require rewriting some things.

I also have a couple of suggestions for wording (I know, it's coming way too late but I've had some external feedback…)

In the meantime I'd love to put this version out, it's looking soooo much better already !

monkey: i actually found a better way to get unique artists count, replacing with that

Awesome

pushed changes.

monkey: if you have some time after the meeting, it would be nice to have 2-3 small frontend good first issues.

i found a few for docs and a few python ones thanks to mayhem, don't have any for js stuff though

got enough python based ones?

can always use more.

preferable found, not created.

pssss. you're no fun.

Oh damn, speaking of time flying. 3 min to meeting, right

Arararara~! hi!

As expected didn't get to do a lot last week.

but I did manage to close INST-1079 as well as finally managed to untangle the greatest floke (tangle)

so expect SEVERAL dudes in the database Soon™

INST-1079: dūdas https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/INST-1079

fin, go monkey

Hello

Last week i mostly worked on the BB search indexing, we've had some issues with a release last week

hotfixed for now, but working on a solution.

And I reviewed PRs for LB

That's me !

zas go !

Hey

Last week, spent some time with system reboots and a docker upgrade issue

it was to apply important security fixes: kernel, ssh, glibc and docker

Also worked a bit on Picard plugin API V3 with outsidecontext

I fixed an issue with mbstats: some stats were missing due to unremoved lock file after system reboot

plus usual supervision, upgrades, user support, PR reviews and MB edits.

fin. bitmap ?

Other people in my list: reosarevok, mayhem, yvanzo, lucifer, akshaaatt, atj, aerozol, ansh, kellnerd, Pratha-Fish, jasje

hello

last week I worked on updating https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... based on review feedback, then deployed it on Friday, and subsequently had to write another patch due to a scenario I didn't think of :)

(which was deployed with the release today)

I worked a bit more on the artwork-indexer, testing and fixing a few minor things

helped with the multi-day server reboot project, but mostly on the PG side

we enabled logical replication and increased max_connections in the PG configuration

other than that I mostly did code review and spent time trying to debug OOM kill issues in the musicbrainz-website-test container

fin. go ansh

Hi Everyone!

Almost every page has now been migrated to SPA

I also spent time on some final changes for BrainzPlayer queues.

Also refactored User Dashboard pages PR and spent time researching about optimising the frontend to reduce page load times by using lazy loading and caching.

That’s it for me!

lucifer: next?

hi all!

last week, i tried to debug the weird load peaks on kiss and an overload of database connections. nothing substantial yet, but have a few hunches about it.

fixed some bugs like export listens button leading to deletion of listens and helped out a user restore their listen history who was affected by it.

reviewed some PRs about merging content-resolver in troi and the nmslib fork.

that's mostly it. mayhem next?

Other people in my list: reosarevok, yvanzo, akshaaatt, atj, aerozol, kellnerd, Pratha-Fish, jasje

hey!

last week was the usual biz dev stuff and keeping the lights on.

then I mostly worked on merging the content resolver into troi and packaging one of its depedencies.

the package is amazing, but its been abandoned with a lot of people clamoring for a new release.

so, forked it and released it. soon we'll have builds for mac as well and then the world can use these packages again.

thanks for everyone who made that happen! outsidecontext (IRC) lucifer (IRC) gcrk (he/him)

fin.

aerozol (IRC): go

mōrena!

Finished off the blog post for the LB 2023 recap - thanks everyone who helped check and proof it!

Made a few new tickets, e.g. MBS-13480

MBS-13480: Show cover art thumbnails on Artist and Release Group pages https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-13480

Apart from that just the usual, nothing exciting sadly

go yvanzo!

Hi!

Besides helping with server maintenance operations, I mainly worked on MB Solr search.

For GSoC org application, I redacted an MB idea based on aerozol’s suggestion of links page.

Also I relisted the idea of Rust binding for MB SQL schema as yellowhatpro has shown some interest.

Got lucifer in a call to test deploying an MB dev setup and an MB database mirror on Windows 11 with WSL 2.

reosarevok (IRC): hey, i'd like to give an update too

Plus some PR reviews, a couple of MBS beta updates, support, and tickets triage.

Fin, go geetika[m]!

I worked on the bpm tracker and finding max beat project

so i started out by exploring what current system does, and its fallacie with different sorts of genres and music

i read some repos and papers on it, and planning to implement a basic skeletal neural network based system for the same

this week

geetika[m]: if you're done, call someone else :)

Other people in my list: reosarevok, akshaaatt, atj, kellnerd, Pratha-Fish, jasje

reosarevok (IRC): you could go!

Hi!

This week I dealt with the usual support and community issues, plus I reviewed a bit more of the Spanish translation of MBS (and found more strings that needed further context)

And I worked on a few small URL tickets plus updated a bunch of React ones to hopefully merge soonish

kellnerd: you? :)

Hey

I was working on elbisaur a bit more to polish a few rough edges and document its current features (as I plan to pause that project in a good shape).

Still not there, but hopefully this week.

Also I was annoyed that every time when I'm working with cuesheets, chapter and tracklist formats and want to convert between specific formats, I am writing a new one-off script and forget about it afterwards.

So I've started to put a small library of parsers and formatters together and wrote a simple CLI which can convert between any two supported formats.

If anyone has a better name than cueshit (short for "cuesheetify it" 😉), now is the time to enter your suggestions.

That's it for the last week, go akshaaatt!

"justoncue"? :p

Hi Everyone!

ew cuesheets

hi!

I released a beta for the android app recently

We made many bug fixes and should finalize things for a prod release asap
