@reosarevok: Hi, and welcome to the MetaBrainz Monday Meeting!

Reviews

@derat

[mailed in] I spent a bit more time getting yambs to work with Tidal’s v2 API.
I think it’s pretty much there, but I haven’t finished it up and shipped it yet since it needs more testing and sounds like it might be a regression from the current code that uses the internal API, in terms of rate-limiting and crediting featured artists (and probably other areas that I haven’t noticed yet!).
Other than that, mostly just the usual daily leaving of edit notes. Still thinking about additional style checks that the server could do to point beginner editors in the right direction…

@yvanzo

[mailed in] Last week, I mainly handled security updates while prepping MusicBrainz Solr 9 backups.

@julian45

Hi all! I meant to spend most of last week working on the auth server for the admin/staff SSO project, but nerd-sniped myself into fixing CI for our Docker Ansible role (as well as the role itself)
This week I plan to finish the latter up and hopefully get back to the former

@bitmap

last week I mainly did a bunch of code review, worked on the PG switchover to cesaria, and moved services off of hendrix onto isaac
ah I also submitted a PR for MBS-13943 which would be useful for importers
[MBS-13943: Lookup multiple URLs at once with the API]

@aerozol

I’m up! With not much to report. Keeping on top of comms, tickets, and contributing to a few discussions

@Gautam_coder

[GautamShorewala] This week was a bit hectic for me so nothing much from my side
Did work on some bugs in LB

@outsidecontext

Together with zas did another bugfix release for picard a week ago. Also looked into tickets and some user support
Apart from that I had some pull requests for ellnerd’s Harmony. E.g. Tidal video release support

@ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPython

[Jigen] Had another very productive meeting with monkey!
we agreed how to deal with the toc going forward and monkey updated the theme to a much better one!
Made my first PR approval!!!
[Update theme #20]
Since february is coming to a close, I’ll be having some more time to look at instruments, people are encouraged to randomly nag me about it so I don’t forget : D
I’ve also watched Flow! [image]
it was cute and contemplative

@mr_monkey

[monkey] Last week I discussed and worked with ansh to migrate LB to Bootstrap 5 (from v3…)
Picked up the LB mobile device music player, a new UI which looks much much better. Hoping to finish that this week incorporating great feedback from rustynova and aerozol
Also fixed a bug in the manual add listens modal that I introduced the week prior
[insert Obama medal meme]
And as AApeKattQuest mentioned, discussed and continued work on the BookBrainz user guide revamp
And a bunch of PR reviewing !

@rob

[mayhem] last week was mostly technical work, very little else. glorious!
I spent time moving the lb-local forward until I lost momentum due to a boring task.
so I went back to working the mapping lookup and I made some good progress there.
still not out of the “6 steps forward 18 back” phase yet, but hopefully soon we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
but the lookup speeds are great. : )

@zas

Last week I worked on DNS migration, discussed with julian about it, he suggested a nice tool named dnscontrol, so I conducted a bunch of tests and evaluation, and I think we’ll use it: basically it will help us to manage dns zones and ease any future migration.
Also work on Picard, added support for ruff
Plus usual tasks, sys upgrades, user support, and MB edits.

@jasjeet

[jasje] Was mostly on vacation last week
And this week as well

@kellnerd

Last week I reviewed more Harmony PRs by outsidecontext and did some more code refactoring.
Notably supporting multiple release types per provider (for example Tidal album and video, or Bandcamp album and track) is less of a hack now.
I am slowly getting the provider test suite setup fully usable as well, although my time is still limited due to my research at the university.

@reosarevok

Last week I worked on fixing borked bits of our site’s HTML while updating to a new version of the validator we use
Also fixed some cases of “Element x is not allowed inside element y” which we had been ignoring for 14 years or something like that with the comment
“We should probably actually fix these, see MBS-xxxx”
(literally xxxx)
I love looking at our old code
Other than that, small style issues, doing the releases, including a few neat things this week, and I started working on MBS-13771
[MBS-13771: Filter edit search by entity type]
Which I think will be useful for people to find users misusing specific types for example : )
Also we had some sun so I finally rode my bike on cobblestones and ate waffles integration

@lucifer

last week, i worked mostly on eliminating spark cluster’s reliance on full dumps. still very much a WIP.
