last week we release first release candidate of Picard 2.8
I did a bunch of Picard PRs reviews, mainly fixes for user-reported issues after this release
I also ordered and deployed *.metabrainz.org cert (renewal)
I worked on new gateways, updated our blocked IPs lists, fixed minor issues
plus usual MB edits, user support, supervision & upgrades.

I merged an Ansible PR that signficantly simplifies the network configuration on all hosts
I also spent some time working on the docker container status page, and ended up with quite a nice solution using Datatables
(@mr_monkey approved no less)
I’ve been working on the app to SSH to each host and retrieve the docker info, so hopefully we should have a decent solution in the not too distant future

Last week I was fully in moving apartment mode, and that took all my week
I reviewed a couple of PRs and had some discussions on tickets, and that’s all for me !

Much like last week, this one went by too fast
But I’ve done a lot of afk things atleast
Also a lot of editing on a count of tagging all my music (again) because I noticed with the ListenBrainz improvements that my tags are for shit
The 17th of May is approaching with storm steps so I’ll be kinda afky next week
Hope to finish tickets, taggers and some other stuff before then.
after 17th, I aim for instruments.

I worked with @yvanzo on testing and merging schema change code
I also submitted a few fixes for small bugs detected by sentry
We’ve tested the migration in sample data and it works, need to test it in a full DB after we merge all stuff, unless @yvanzo has in the meantime
(he wanted to test in wolf)

Not exactly on wolf
Last week I worked with @reosarevok on reviewing the requirements for the upcoming MB database schema change.
That includes updating the schema change process, reviewing and merging some pull requests.
But also checking MBS dependencies such as search components.
Got @lucifer’s help with the search indexer and its dependency mbdata.
Updated MB containers to use StaticBrainz on rudi, and documented it.
Also updated authentication apps in Jira.

i was afk for a few days last week. when around, i worked on coverging our mbdata fork with upstream, did a full reindex of sir with the updated mbdata. also worked on adding tests for Sir indexing using real database. this is still a work in progress, it should help with py3 migration and sqlalchemy upgrade.
other than that i worked on various bits around recommendations stuff in LB. also, followed on existing PRs.

@alastairp

last week I was sick all week, so didn’t get anything done
I opened a small PR to disable listenstore on LB (we tried this last time we had a downtime but made a mistake in the implementation)

I did a lot of biz dev stuff last week, chasing up on invoices and chasing after some new customers…
I planned the board meeting, selected and ranked GSOC proposals
and did the usual PR reviews .
as well as the normal background MeB stuff.
not a lot of techncial work, but hopefully that changes this week.

I tried to coordinate with @jflory about the telegram bridge bot, but our non-overlapping timezones/schedules is making it a bit slow.
Other than that, dealing with reports, flags, being around/about, etc. usual things.

Last week was quite challenging.
College involved a lot of commitment, with me running to get my research paper published, prepare for final exams, and hang out a bit with friends for the last few days.
Other than that, I continued learning new stuff which will prove to be useful soon.
The major part of my work included preparing newer pages for musicbrainz to be put in test.mb, and the highlight for me last week was the fact that the official ListenBrainz integration has been done on the MusicBrainz Android App (Avaialable on Playstore for Beta users currently).
Soon, users will also be able to delete and open their listens on the app!

Securing MeB infrastructure - part 3

https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/msg/4999037/

Continued discussion about securing our infrastructure, mostly around “How to check for possible intrusions, breaches?” and logging. Please refer to the IRC logs for details.

Next meeting

@yvanzo

Just a reminder: next Monday there will be a MB database schema change.

We don’t normally have meetings on the day of schema change releases, and next week is no exception, so next meeting will be on 2022-05-23.
