      • bitmap[m]
        last week I mostly did code review, finished https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-server/…, and helped a bit with testing reosarevok's paste-a-date branch
      • 2025-08-11 22359, 2025

      • bitmap[m]
        also helped with updating our server configs to accurately reflect CB container deployment

        over the weekend i made my first forays into doing a conversion to a static site, proof of concept hopefully to follow later this week

        last week was a pretty shit week as I was dealing with a course of antibiotics that really screwed my sleep schedule.

        but last week was MeB work, some PRs, and a little lb local work as well.
      • 2025-08-11 22343, 2025

      • mayhem[m]
        today, used Gemini to create a CAA backup tool, which deffo went faster than if I had coded it myself.
      • 2025-08-11 22353, 2025

      • mayhem[m]
        for a simple task like this, that was surprisingly useful and fast.
      • 2025-08-11 22312, 2025

      • mayhem[m]
        I wouldn't use it for more complicated things, since that would increase debugging time.
      • 2025-08-11 22320, 2025

      • outsidecontext[m
        last week I switched to a new laptop, that took me some time to have everything working again. Did some Picard PR reviews and testing.
      • 2025-08-11 22309, 2025

      • outsidecontext[m
        Over the weekend I also looked into updating some of the Discourse plugins that are used on the community forums. The abbrify-words needed some update as the way it was implemented was deprecated. Luckily there was already a pull request to address this. I updated that PR and merged it.
      • 2025-08-11 22305, 2025

      • outsidecontext[m
        Also my listenbrainz plugin triggered some deprecation warnings in newer Discourse, which I fixed. It now also links to the recording page on LB instead of MB, which is making the links consistent.
      • 2025-08-11 22334, 2025

      • outsidecontext[m
        that's it from me. what about holycow23 ?

        This last week I was looking into the PR comments of the three Stats
      • 2025-08-11 22304, 2025

      • holycow23[m]
        The frontend for Genre Stats seems to be ready and approved by both ansh and monkey
      • 2025-08-11 22320, 2025

      • holycow23[m]
        Hopefully the frontend for the other two will be ready by the end of the week as well
      • 2025-08-11 22341, 2025

      • holycow23[m]
        And hopefully lucifer gives me a heads up with the Spark part of the PRs as well

        Hey there!
      • 2025-08-11 22322, 2025

      • kellnerd[m]
        Over the weekend I've picked up an old feature draft for Harmony and finished it (except for the UI, which needs more thoughts).
      • 2025-08-11 22336, 2025

      • kellnerd[m]
        It's called template releases and allows the user the fill in the gaps with data from a related release, that is stripped off of its identifiers (barcode etc).
      • 2025-08-11 22305, 2025

      • kellnerd[m]
        Basically any data provider can now be used as a template provider with lower priority and less strict merge checks, but only MB is allowed for now.
      • 2025-08-11 22329, 2025

      • kellnerd[m]
        With this it will become easier to reuse existing recordings (of the template release), for everything else I finally have to provide the UI to select data from specific providers.

      • 2025-08-11 22328, 2025

      • mayhem[m]
        from what I understand its horribly outdated.
      • 2025-08-11 22315, 2025

      • jasje[m]
        mayhem[m]: We do not maintain it
      • 2025-08-11 22322, 2025

      • monkey[m] didn't use it more than a couple of times before uninstalling

      • 2025-08-11 22343, 2025

      • mayhem[m]
        jasje says in the tread we can remove it.

        jasje[m]: I have a few ideas where we could build a wrapper UI on top of website
      • 2025-08-11 22358, 2025

      • jasje[m]
        jasje[m]: But far from implementation
      • 2025-08-11 22305, 2025

      • mayhem[m]
        I'll go do that then, unless there are other objections like from outsidecontext
      • 2025-08-11 22311, 2025

      • outsidecontext[m
        I would vote for removal. Focusing on the LB app is IMHO the right thing. The MB app can be around on github for anyone interested, but raising false expectations in the play store does not serve MB.
      • 2025-08-11 22321, 2025

      • mayhem[m]
        great, motion carried. :)
      • 2025-08-11 22334, 2025

      • outsidecontext[m
        We also reference the app in https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/en/tutorials/… . We'll need to update the docs then.

        mayhem: it finished downloading 1000 images & the random sample I checked against archive.org all looked good. I also ran the verify script & all downloaded files are marked with status = 1 in the DB, though I didn't check much beyond that

        exiting the script is just a little janky, with DOWNLOAD_THREADS=2 I had to hit Ctrl+C three times to stop all the threads from downloading :)

      • mayhem[m]
        bitmap[m]: yeah, not sure I can to fix that. its a serious pita. :)

        possible to fix, but too lazy.

        reosarevok[m]: afraid i don't know, sorry (wouldn't have logged into isaac around the time you noted). zas might know either way; if there was a good reason it exited, maybe not a good idea to just start it again

        reosarevok: we were having some minor issues with postgres that day, I think it was just stopped due to that
