A couple of weeks ago, I posted a thread here asking whether y’all could make use of Decronym the acronym explainer bot, and reaction was positive.
I finally got around to setting up an initial version of the database earlier today, so Decronym is now running; this post links to the current list of 40 or so acronyms that have definitions, based almost entirely on acronyms that been used in the pinned “What do you selfhost” thread.
If I’ve made glaring errors or omissions, do let me know and the database can be updated. Otherwise, let’s see how this thing fares.
Accessing through kbin.social and the table format is not formatted correctly. Assume this is a kbin-problem, not a bot-problem, as looking at it through sh.itjust.works formats correctly…
Since this is /c/selfhosted, it would be a good idea to add “HA - HomeAssistant, a popular automation software” to the list. Another one id “LXC - Linux Containers”
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.

How excellent for my MQTT behind nginx next to my pihole
:)
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.
Here’s another comment to get to 5.
I wanna see it, so here’s another comment to boost - let’s get to 5 and test this bot :P
TIL what an NAS is - I’ve only worked with SAN systems for work. Let’s see about your MQTT and NGINX running 9n the PiHole
I’ll be the fifth!
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

Looks great, thanks! Tiny quibble, Home Assistant is two words.
I like that it adds everything into one post instead of replying a dozen times. Good work.
Accessing through kbin.social and the table format is not formatted correctly. Assume this is a kbin-problem, not a bot-problem, as looking at it through sh.itjust.works formats correctly…
And the kbin.social formatting:
I’d suggest adding high availability for HA
Added a second meaning for HA, thanks.
Ok that’s pretty cool (good bot)
Since this is /c/selfhosted, it would be a good idea to add “HA - HomeAssistant, a popular automation software” to the list. Another one id “LXC - Linux Containers”
HA can stand for High Availability as well, depends on the context.
Yeah, I’d argue HA is more established as high availability than home assistant but that could be my networking side talking.
Thanks; inserted: HA, LXC, SAN
Is this exclusive to acronyms related to self hosting or also just general acronyms, such as TMI, PLS, YSK, TIL, etc.
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.
Ah ok. Well anyway, maybe add protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, UDP, SMTP, IMAP, POP3, SSL, VPN, Git, TLS, SQL.
Inserted to the list, thanks.
There’s also the “number in the middle” gang:
Mm, added a few numeronyms: i18n, l10n, a11y, k8s.
