Selfhosted

40726 readers
365 users here now

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

[Meta] Decronym is now running on /c/selfhosted (decronym.xyz)

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.

Is this exclusive to acronyms related to self hosting or also just general acronyms, such as TMI, PLS, YSK, TIL, etc.

[–] Two9A 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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:

  • K8s (kubernetes)
  • i18n (internationalization)
  • a11y (accessibility)

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