IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@bitmap

I didn’t have a very busy week. I worked on fixing a couple bugs in the JSON dumps that were discovered. One was causing the full dumps to sleep forever and never finish, and another was causing certain recent entities to not appear in the dumps. I also hotfixed a problem related to the JSON-LD markup embedded in our pages. HTML character entities were incorrectly being used in the JSON.

spent a bunch of time doing CB stuff: reviewed and deployed things, improved integration with sentry, upgraded all the outdated dependencies
made a small update to brainzutils. upgraded sentry and jenkins
continued working on solr… there’s a complicated issue with figuring out which tables need cause which updates. still trying to wrap my head around that

Hello, not a very busy week for me either, did some work on the BigQuery stuff, not much to show yet
the beta has been quiet so far, I think (?)
Fixed a few issues I thought up of such as the lastfm importer not taking release_names to LB
nothing much else

I spent time deploying the latest and greatest and merging the last bits before the community beta.
and we immediately found another problem, for which there is a PR, but I dislike the solution.
needs more thinking.
also helped sanity check zas on his amazing journey for the last week.
and helped quesito with a few contractual and accounting things.
not too much stuff last week, but hopefully I can get the next version of the LB community beta running tomorrow.

I was mostly dealing with support and editing, but also started looking at the classical project
Wrote a guide for classical editors with tools and tips
And started the first discussion about how to deal with stuff: Levels in the structure of works
Also introduced the idea of having a cleanup to the forum, people seem interested
So need to decide what to go for
I also set loujine up with the info for the DRAM db
So hopefully he’ll find time to look into that

start of the week was about the Quest (aka QNAP affair)
i also worked on finding a way to get AX50 servers more stable, experimenting a possible “fix”
time will tell
i upgraded some docker images, base-image, consul-template, and openresty stuff
btw, consul-template changes may break some image depending on it, ping me if you have issues related to consul-template
also upgraded a bunch of packages on all servers
fixed/improved some grafana graphs
btw, now that all QNAP traffic is refused, we are down to ~50% of bandwith we were using
as a positive effect we serve all ws requests, request times are low
even the website is more responsive

I’m a little bit fried this afternoon-as today was the first day of Q3–and therefore invoicing day! woot. woot.
last week I attempted to start a bit of a brainstorm for organization of the classical project and got a bit of feedback from reosarevok , thankfully!
I need to continue on with that and follow up on a few org items for the project
I also made a banner for the survey–that we need to get up and real clickable in 2 days…(help!)
and started down a contact list path for a giant company in Taipei…which is unfortunately a little bit more difficult than my other investigations have been…

I added a new classical (sub)category on the forums, and then handed its reigns over to reosarevok who has moved a bunch of old topics into it, as well as started some new things in there.
Other than that, I’ve mostly “hung around” on IRC and forums.

This week I worked on fixing some more issues that came from migrating off the ORM. Updated the documentation for a clearer and correct set of instructions for setting up the mb database container.
Also started some work on entity: release group for db access and started looking into fetching information related to multiple entities properly.
Also, passed first GSoC evaluation \o/. Thanks alastairp and everyone
