schickling[m]: you should ask mayhem, I don't remember the details :)

Another "infra related question": My understanding is that MB is primarily hosted on Hetzner in Germany. Does this mean that MB is rather slow for people e.g. in the US or is there some kind of replication/caching infrastructure in place?

<reosarevok> "schickling: you should ask..." <- Thanks! mayhem now I'm curious :)

I'm in Europe, so I wouldn't know exactly, but I don't think there's a huge issue with slowness based on location (slowness based on trying to load several thousand things at the same time is more of a problem...). We do have mirrors for downloading very large files such as full data dumps tho

<reosarevok> "I'm in Europe, so I wouldn't..." <- I see. Would be curious to hear from some US-west-coast based community members what their experience is. Each MB page load takes ~600ms for me living in Berlin. Could imagine that it's rather ~1.5sec for someone on the west coast. 👀

I’m in eastern US and have never seen any performance problems from MBz, nor did I when I was based in SF or the Midwest.

<crism> "I’m in eastern US and have never..." <- Thanks a lot for sharing your experiencing. That's very encouraging to hear! 💯

I mean, it's not super responsive on COMMIT type edits but otherwise it's fine

(from the west coast)

most of the time I assume it's database latency when I encounter it, not network latency

Makes sense. Thanks!

really there's a level of... expectations... I'm not sure most consumers are expecting super quick responses though they probably do have some subconscious awareness..

things like loading the "various artists" artist... . .. . . . .

Agree.

hi schickling[m], I see you had some questions about fuzzy searching of MB data, are you interested in implementing something yourself, or just asking around to see if we do anything with it?

we have a tool at https://labs.api.listenbrainz.org/recording-search which uses https://typesense.org/

Is this edit correct the way it's done? One release with "Digital Media 1, CD 2, Vinyl 3"? Haven't seen it this way before. https://musicbrainz.org/release/a84923dc-83f2-4...

mukkel, it looks wrong to me. From their website it appears that the different formats are sold separately.

rdswift mh, yupp, think so, too. I've added notes to the 2 edits adding CD/vinyl to it.

👍

🎂🎂🎂 Happy birthday, and thanks for contributing to MusicBrainz! 🎂🎂🎂

aw! :D

<alastairp> "we have a tool at https://labs...."; <- Oh that's awesome! Thanks a lot for sharing!

is it me, PanoScrobbler or the ListenBrainz API that is broken?

I scrobbler: OfflineScrobble: err for ListenBrainz: ScrobbleResult [Result[isSuccessful=false, errorCode=-1, httpErrorCode=0, errorMessage=failed to connect to api.listenbrainz.org/138.201.227.205 (port 443) from /10.17.128.150 (port 39422) after 10000ms, status=FAILED], track=null, trackCorrected=false, artist=null, artistCorrected=false, album=null, albumCorrected=false, albumArtist=null, albumArtistCorrected=false, ignored=false,

mukkel, you are likely better off asking in #metabrainz because that's where the devs hang out.

oh ok

I'm hoping that either lucifer can help you out.

On a related note, are you able to connect to that ip address using your browser? If not, you might be on a block list in which case zas should be able to help you.

mmmh just downloaded a ping tool on Android. 100% packet loss while everything's fine from my Desktop device. Uargh.

yupp. My VPNs IP is blacklisted, problems kinda... solved.
