Reviews

@lucifer

last week, i had a meet with bitmap to discuss MeB OAuth stuff.
currently working on ratelimit registrations by IP, and blacklist emails by domains.
also, did some work for YIM stuff and diagnosed a spark memory issue

@yvanzo

Had an MB dev team meeting last week and partly reviewed bitmap 's PR.

@mr_monkey

[monkey] Last week was all YIM all week, pretty much
We are in a nice spot a couple of weeks before announcement
I also helped orientate newcomers and reviewed PRs, answered questions did some social media outreach, and other small things.

@bitmap

I primarily worked on changes to to our digest authentication implementation in the web service that we discussed in our team meeting last week
and did some minor code review

@failure_san

[failure] i finally opened the PR for the Audioscrobbler spec importer that i was working on last week as well; and made some changes based on the reviews
and i fixed a bug in the Navidrome player
other than that i just learnt how the frontend tests work, then i don’t have to bother monkey everytime i make a frontend change

@jasjeet

[jasje] 1Last week was productive
Deeply reviewed PRs
Also worked on refactoring the whole codebase to use kotlin serialization instead of Gson
Also worked on to remove retrofit and replace it with ktorfit
These are early steps to go multiplatform!
One codebase for everything

@anshgoyal31

[ansh] Last week, I focused on generating two new stats for YIM
And fixed the existing stat queries to make the genre stats more meaningful
And reviewed the YIM PR, which looks amazing

@kellnerd

Last week I did a Harmony release with the new OTOTOY provider (and a few, barely notable URL extraction improvements).
Over the weekend I started to improve the compatibility error handling of Harmony’s release merge stage, it shouldn’t just show an error in the next version.
Additionally I’ve commented failure’s .scrobbler.log PR and tested the new LB mapper
Mostly metadata problems, not mapper problems

@faizan.akhtar123

[Faizan Akhtar] Last week i work on a few improvements across different PRs based on monkey suggestions and updated those PRs accordingly…
I also updated other ongoing PRs and in one case expanded the scope to cover similar issue…
and on weekends i solve a new issue lb(1894 play queue duration)…overall it was very productive week to me…
I learn lot of things on last week and I am improving day by day…

@hemang-mishra

[Hemang Mishra] Mostly did some PR reviews. Really great work by new contributors. Also helped contributors with existing issues.
Also learnt a lots of new stuff abt KMP this week. Overall a productive week.

@JadedBlueEyes

[Jade] This week was slightly eventful
Unintended Proxy or Intermediary ('Confused Deputy') and Improper Input Validation in Conduit-derived homeservers · Advisory · continuwuity/continuwuity · GitHub
so someone exploited that against the community rooms for the server I run
Had to help fix that and coordinate there
Aside from that, released a new version of continuwuity and did christmas shopping
Also checking grading rubrics and stuff for the final project, but nothing interesting there

@julian45

this week i did some patching here and there, as well as testing picard 3 a bit on windows (with plugins generously ported by outsidecontext), and helping mayhem a bit with metrics instrumentation for the new lb mapper
mostly been busy due to xmas things and driving to visit family

@rob

[mayhem] I got the mapper up and running, that was about it!
https://mapper.listenbrainz.org/
thanks for the help from julian and zas.
its much faster than expected and working well.
lots more to do do get it to update and such.
but its promising.

@reosarevok

Hi! I was in Spain and did less than usual, but I did start porting the release group form to React
And of course the usual spam and emails
That’s about it for me - I expect to just do spam and emails and the like until January

@_Junaid

[mailed in] [Fettuccinae] Not much to report from my side, still stuck with my exams

@ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPython

[mailed in] [MonkeyPython] ararara! I don’t have much except I’m in brazil! olá!!

@m.amanullah7

I’ll be off this week as well!

@zas

This week, mainly Picard Plugins V3, added mapper.listenbrainz.org, configured jelly new server, plus minor admin tasks, that’s it

@outsidecontext

Working on Picard 3, further improving the new plugin system. An ported all my plugins over to the new system.
Also for the first time I used the Picard 3 development version for actually tagging my files for real. This wasn’t possible before because of missing plugins : )

@Lioncat6

Not been up to all that much this past week, just some more progress on the SAMBL refactor, adding some track/recording comparison and getting ready for an apple music provider eventually.

@op3kay

this week i went through the area bot trying to understand its codebase
additionally i started writing functions to compare and find missing areas/wikilinks in the mb test db and the data from wikidata.
dry ran it and found around 6k missing areas and 3k areas with missing wikidata links :0.

absent: holiday grace period for absentees! (e.g. me )
