I feel like I’ve been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god
What hostnames do people use? I’m tired of (and bad at) naming all my devices, I just tend to leave default as op, at least I can tell them apart easily
I have NekkoDesktop
, NekkoLaptop
, NekkoLaptopJr
(new laptop) and NekkoServer
:) (Phones are just Nekko
with release being S9 and S21 for Samsung or G6 for LG)
Culture ship names. https://theculture.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_spacecraft
charlemagne
for my desktop, and invictus
for my laptop - no particular theme, just liked the names lol
My servers however previously used gods from Greek mythology though, as controversial as that apparently was (?)…
(To be fair, I think the controversy was regarding doing that in a professional / enterprise environment of which I am definitely not in)
I use names from FFXIV.
For my work-related VMs, raid bosses. It makes it easy to spot my VMs because nobody sane would name them stuff like Erichthonios or Hippokampos. Unfortunately I had to draw the line at 724P-Operated Superior Flight Unit A-lpha.
For my home server VMs/CTs, I use the names of the gods - Byregot, Rhalgr, Azeyma, etc. and Eulogia for Proxmox itself.
my old desktop was named George, inspired by the word “GeForce” on the gpu. my new one is Leo, mostly because I just like that name, but also because it’s my first desktop built for linux. My first server was Bertha bc its physical size was a lot bigger than I expected and I had to find a new place to store it, and my newest server is even bigger so I named it Marge. My clunky old 16" laptop from 2010 is named Mondo.
I go with a UUID so I never duplicate. 🤪
