Mm, I expect there are still some old rows from the previous database before the Upgrade-Gone-Wrong. Will take a look when I get a spare moment Sunday.

It is suspicious that the bot “found” cloudflare without it being mentioned…

Remind me in the morning, I’ll take it down for investigation.

Many thanks, added to the database.

Happy to take definitions and plug them into the database, if you have them to hand. If not, I’ll put aside a few minutes this weekend to look them up.

Huh, so it’s doing this on every thread… Let me investigate.

I’m hosting the Decronym bot on a single-user instance, and it’s a real pain. The bot’s been down for weeks, actually, because an upgrade failed with some obscure error around the database schema…

I’ve ended up just today, wiping the whole thing and starting over, losing all data and having to refederate the bot. So yeah, I wouldn’t recommend.

[Acronyms to help the bot re-establish: LVM, HASS, k8s]

Right, I self-host email and have done for ten years or more, but I don’t do it out of a server at home. Does my Postfix not count as selfhosting any more?

My leatherman was a little over a ton That thing must be huge!

Being realistic, it’s not something I see gaining adoption, mostly because HTCPCP is a joke protocol and isn’t a complete spec. Any internet-connected coffee machine nowadays would probably go through a ZigBee proxy or similar, and talk some proprietary format.

Essentially. If the end user is being asked to make a financial outlay to get to the same things they did before, it’s unlikely that will go down well.

It should, certainly. But the original draft introducing the header had a typo, and now we’re all stuck with it.

Added a second meaning for HA, thanks.

Mm, added a few numeronyms: i18n, l10n, a11y, k8s.

Inserted to the list, thanks.

The database is domain-specific: here in /c/selfhosted, an acronym like IP (if I had that in the list) would mean something different to a database for (say) /c/legal. General acronyms like YSK aren’t included.

Thanks; inserted: HA, LXC, SAN

You make a fine point: it’s case-sensitive, so it’d only see PiHole. Which I guess is fine…

It also doesn’t kick in until at least five comments have been left on a thread, so as not to be spammy as much as possible.

Don’t mind me, just testing acronym detection.

NAS, PiHole, MQTT

Coffee may be an offence worthy of the Tower, but I hope my Services To Tea offer mitigating circumstances when my case is brought before the King Prince.
