IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

last week was the usual guff. trying to convince spain to let us have power.

@Bitmap

I have http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-8736 basically working but since the schema change will affect the code, I’ll wait on submitting something
I submitted a few small schema PRs for tickets that are left in the fix version, other than that
and spent a brief amount of time helping test lua rate limiter stuff

@Freso

In the last week, I have…
Written about the new (temporary) AE election procedure: Temporary autoeditor election procedure – MetaBrainz Blog
Done a little bit of Discourse administration.
Been around and about.

• been sick, so not very productive
• still fighting to get the electrical service hooked-up
• keep at the list of potential supporters
• “I want to thank everyone for pointing me to leads. :)”
• “I think it is really worthwhile getting the other Open Source, non-profits, academics signed up too.”
• “One note. My suggestion regarding making a more direct link to the sign-up/donation page. This suggestion comes from others in our community!”

Quick update because at the gym (wtf I know): did support, didn’t do enough style because I suck, I will do more of it this week, if I forget Freso should hate on me until I do. Thanks Freso. Threso. Also since I’m on the phone, someone please find and assign me to the ticket to allow admins to set emails on site before I forget again.
Also the Congo with the IA is slow
… convo
Because it depends on me as intermediary of two US based people
That’s kinda silly so we should get bitmap directly in the slack group

• most of the week on two things

1. upgrade all servers due to serious security updates (ssl and nodejs), had to reboot all
2. find a better way to rate limit our ws traffic
   • ended with a solution based on openresty (basically nginx with lua)
   • put it on test this afternoon, see Grafana
   • still experimental, but we did a lot of tests (thx @bitmap & @gentlecat)
   • looks promising, but still need some attention

• plus: usual supervision, minor fixes, minor changes to graphana, upgraded influxdb, etc…

I didn’t do much this week, still working on university assignments, but I have thought a bit more about UI improvements and the next steps for BB->MB OAuth. Also read through CatQuest’s feedback on the current UI

Oh, and I also spread the word about MeB on the train today.

Busy with finals so no mb related activity.
This (ongoing) week is last, so will be idle mostly this week too.

@Quora

I’ve also been busy with work but managed to get my blog up and running which was my target for this week, there wasn’t much discussion in the meeting this week, but I hope to duke out more details on the plan for the project during the next one!
and hopefully get some thoughts up on the blog this weekend

looked through the source codes of LB. working on replacing cassandra with postgres.
(was stuck after upgrading to ubuntu 16.04, but now things are fine.)
somewhat close to replacing cassandra modules with postgres. might take some more time before i actually share my work.
also, i finished setup of my work env which i would be using for this summer.

@hellska

I forget to introduce myself last week, I’m Daniele, I’m from Italy and I study in Barcelona
this week I played around with the acousticbrainz server and looked into the source code
starting gettin familiar with all the technicalities like the react framework
Read documentation
Today we had a meeting already mentioned by gentelcat, with him and alastairp
started to refine the project proposal in a google doc
here is the link: AcousticBrainz Dataset Creation Toolkit - Google Docs
it’s draft so sorry for the errors

Schema change

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

Discussion about the status of the various tickets. A few tickets still remain that are currently assigned to @LeftmostCat and @chirlu, but @Bitmap reckons that it isn’t unsurmountable, as long as patches/pull requests get merged before/on Friday the 13th.

WS rate limiting

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@Zas talked about his tests with the new rate limiting and discussed some of his findings/results related to this.
