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 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.

        i use a surface pro 6, so i use “surface” as my hostname

        it was running arch+gnome

        i tried endeavouros+kde (because i used to use the sway version of it on my dell and liked it) but didn’t like it

        now it’s running arch+kde

      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.

      Similar to other people:
      laptop-56
      phone-56
      server-56 (or the actual domain name…)
      …palmtop-56 (I’m not sure if that’s actually possible)

      I like the look of all-lowercase hyphenated words. And “56” is a conveniently short identifier I use for myself.

      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)
