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.
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.
