Hi everyone!
Last week I’ve been preparing for moving ay (which is today), but I did do a few things:
Continued the ListenBrainz metadata viewer and merged that first PR (currently deployed on beta.LB)
I did some outreach and debugging with third-party players and scrobblers that use the ListenBrainz API, mostly relating to better support for love/hate feedback.
I reviewed PRs for LB and BB, and did a bunch of repository admin and ticket triage.
There was a notice from Github that some OAuth tokens were leaked by Travis (which we were using for BB). According to Github we weren’t targeted, but I disconnected Travis app on Github and ensured no tokens or authorization remained for it.
That’s most of it for me! I expect to be partly AFK this week, between unpacking and no internet at the new house.
Take care y’all !

Last week, I continued updating documents on securing MeB infrastructure with the 2nd meeting this past Tuesday.
Also updated my PR documenting our current instance of RabbitMQ (which has to be eventually replaced with a cluster).
Freed tens of GBs of useless logs related to a bug that has been fixed in 2020.
Opened a pair of small pull requests to docker server configs and ansible.
Plus PR reviews and support.

last week, i worked on adding last listened times to recommendations but data turned out to be too much to store in LB database so need to rework it to do more stuff on spark side.
other than i worked on more recommendations tuning and refactoring LB recommendations to use more and newer built-in Spark APIs instead of hand rolling our own code.
finally investigated, some LB issues like broken emails, broken dumps and some ISEs due to bad user data submission.

last week I fixed a bug in CB that prevented non-releasegroup reviews from appearing on the admin “reported reviews” page, and also fixed a bug that had been reported where a user could craft a malicious oauth redirect url on an oauth app
I also fixed some bugs in CB oauth around dealing with invalid client ids/secrets
I reviewed some of Ansh’s open PRs about adding more data to Label and Place pages on CB
I restarted some old tasks about making data dumps for LB/MB datasets that we want to publish, and I fixed a bug in our config file generation for LB that prevented us from using consul to take down the listenstore the last time we had an LB downtime

@atj

last week I spent some time rewriting the netplan ansible role to try and simplify network configuration
this is currently a WIP PR that will hopefully result in some further benefits to other configuration, such as managing /etc/hosts

Mōrena! Not much to report, but I did some guideline updates and want to make sure people still have it on their to-do list to have a look
MEB-132: Added MetaBrainz and MusicBrainz guidelines to discuss by Aerozol · Pull Request #71 · metabrainz/design-system · GitHub
The endless back and forth between long country lists for digital and worldwide has worn me down and I’m keen to tackle it finally - wondering if there’s any devs that are interested or have ideas. Let me know!

Last week I continued my work on the MusicBrianz revamp. The updates have been made to https://test.musicbrainz.org
We have made the updates to the header mainly after some debugging. Also, we are sorta ready for the revamp with the major updates made.
Also, I helped @aerozol with the updates to his PR in design system!
The team looks so focused towards to revamp, which is a great feeling!
I have completed my work in the android app as well, which can be a great addition soon in regards to the listenabrainz integration!
Great vibes here. That’s about it for me. Thank you!

last week was a lot of little stuff here and there as life continues to be challenging.
but @lucifer and I are making good progress on getting the recommendations to work better.
and I’m starting to work on getting troi-bot to start making daily jam playlists.
and with spotify’s recs recently not doing so well, I’m quite keen to get that going.
hopefully lots more work on that this week.

last week I reviewed a bunch of Picard PRs, we have planned a release this week
apart that I investigated a warning we get about an NVME drive on trille, and decided to ask Hetzner to replace it
It will happen on Thursday, this week, 16:00 CEST so we need to ensure the server is ready for shutdown before that
plus usual supervision, upgrades, user support.

@reosarevok

This week I mostly worked on some schema change upgrades, and on an official React paste a date implementation
I also saw my first wild moose, which was neat
(bring back MoosicBrainz)
This week I expect to keep concentrating on schema change stuff mostly

In that vein, Happy 1st May everyone!

aerozol provided a new graphic for the forum, which I added. Other than that, the usual dealing with reports, flags, being around/about.

Telegram-bridge and MusicBrainz

https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/msg/4998989/

@CatQuest

so, as some you might be aware, we have a telegram bridge in #musicbrainz-telegram
it was placed there instead of in MusicBrainz/MetaBrainz, because there was an issue with [off]
I’ve learned that this issue is no longer! this feature is avail upstream
I’ve spoken with @jflory the maintainer of the bridge and they have said that they are happy to update the config to point to a different channel. They’ve also expressed the need to voice the tg-bridge bot and such, to prevent it getting banned.
https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/musicbrainz-telegram/ for log
of discussion
so iwas wondering, what needs to be done/discuss how to enable this for us?

There was some discussion and concerns about the activity of the Telegram channel, which could be explained by it being a mostly hidden-away IRC channel which means that a lot of the interaction that would happen normally between Telegram users and IRC ones have not really happened.

It was decided to try and link up the channels for 4 weeks and reevaluate. @Freso will coordinate with @jflory to get the process going.

Securing MeB infrastructure - part 3

Postponed to next week’s meeting.

Hey, let me know if I can be of help with this. I could also coordinate this request with Matrix as well, given that I have admin rights on the Matrix room where people join and ask MusicBrainz/MetaBrainz questions too.
