After see this post https://social.coop/@gc/100164936581442561 it made me wonder how us linuxrocks folks decide to name our hosts. For me, I'm a huge #rush fan so my first 3 hosts were always going to be #geddy, #alex and #neil. After that I decided to just start using hostnames more descriptive of function, location or hardware, like #nas for my #arch based NAS, #odroid for my ODROID C2 and #udoo for my UDOO X86 box. How do the rest of you decide to name your hosts? Or do you just have one?
@omnipotens @alchemyjones I got server names after elements like #water , #fire, #wind, #earthquake. And more in the theme of #blood, #stone, #ash etc.
@alchemyjones
I use Norse gods at the moment, I had a Thor (now retired), and currently have a Loki and a Heimdall. Thor will likely return on the next build at home, but maybe it'll be Odin.
@alchemyjones At work functional and ridged naming convention as to be expected.
At home functional shorter names then for my labs I revert back to the work naming convention because there's less to think about when the names are all obvious if your coding and testing things.
@alchemyjones name by functionality for servers, random names for workstations/laptops.
@alchemyjones I went with Doctor Who. Tardis for my nas because its a little box with 16Tb's of drives. Get it? bigger on the inside lol. doctor for laptop and various character names for the rest.
