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.

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?

Mm, reminds me of the old world of IRC. I still remember fondly when I asked for help installing FreeBSD, and got banned with a message of “try linux”.

So I did, never looked back. (Until I got a Mac at least, which counts as a BSD.)

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.
