Glossary of terms

Announcements
  • Seeing as Iā€™m a veteran of the IT industry, I use a LOT of acronyms, terms, abbreviations etc when I write content for others in order to provide assistance. I realised that this could well become overwhelming for some users whilst they trawl Google looking for what those abbreviations etc mean.

    Well, not any more šŸ™‚

    You can now hover over keywords, abbreviations, acronyms, and more, and itā€™ll give you an idea of what that term actually means or refers toā€¦

    Some examples below

    Hopefully, this prevents the head scratching, and having to spend time looking up terms I use šŸ˜†

    Great feature mate šŸ˜

  • @jac Thanks

  • This feature is being expanded upon - hopefully, there will be quite a library of terms that others may or will find useful

    Iā€™m sure this will be helpful šŸ˜.

  • Just a small update here. We now have 1500+ keywords enabled šŸ™‚

  • Meh, this plugin is much ado ā€˜bout nothinā€™ from my perspective. Tossā€™s up too many off/erroneous glossary terms. Yeah, they may be correct. But the regexā€™s are matching greedily and flagginā€™ lots of other words that merely contain the respective target sequence.

    But that is just me. By all means please do continue to enjoy if it floats your boat. ā›µ

  • @gotwf The REGEX match should not be greedy - for example, I have it configured so that it only executes on case-sensitive. Admittedly, it may be flagging other words, and may not be perfect, but itā€™s a WIP presently and beneficial to those joining who may not be familiar with the abbreviations or acronyms I frequently use.

    @phenomlab of course, to be recognised is fantastic.

    @phenomlab said in Ch..ch..ch..ch..changes!:

    Sadly, no. Web crawlers and scrapers are often JS based and read text only, so styles donā€™t have any bearing.

    Iā€™ve read mixed things about this, but no that does make sense, it was something I read a many years back when using Wordpress.

    Iā€™ve noticed that Iā€™m the only one subscribed to the push notifications on this site. If you were using NTFY previously, and have noticed that youā€™ve not had any alerts for a while, itā€™s because this feature has been disabled.

    Youā€™ll now need to use the push notification to replace NTFY as mentioned in the first post.

    I relented somewhat here and added another swatch - one I missed, which was previous called ā€œblackoutā€. This specific one has been adapted to work on the new theming engine, but the others have been reclassified, and renamed to suit.

    As a result, the theme you might have had will probably be reflecting something else, so you (might) need to change your themes accordingly. The changes are as follows

    Light -> No Change
    Cloudy -> Is now the old ā€œDimā€
    Dim -> Is now the old ā€œDarkā€
    Dark -> Now a new theme based on the revamped ā€œBlackoutā€

    Just coming back to this thread for review (as I often do), and it looks like Webdock have increased their available offerings - some are extremely powerful, yet very competitive from the pricing perspective.

    10 CPU cores, plus 20Gb RAM? Well worth a look (and the asking price) - thereā€™s also a fixed IP which is hugely beneficial.

    Clearly, this is well beyond what most people will want to spend - itā€™s more of an example (but interestingly, Sudonix runs on something not too different from the above).

    However, not all that glitters is gold šŸ˜• - just have a walk through the benchmark report I found below and youā€™ll see a huge difference between Heztner and Webdock

    https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/compare/hetzner_vs_webdock

    That being said, the amount of HTTP requests that Webdock handles in relation to Hetzner is superior - @DownPW you might want to have a look at this - thereā€™s a free 24 hour trialā€¦ šŸ™‚
