What naming scheme do you use for your devices (including Servers, NAS, router, etc.)?
I've seen quite some people using mythology characters.
Hostnames
I tend to dip into whatever novel/manga I am reading at the time to get names.
The names of Russian cities. It's easy, there's about a million of them and no one can spell them.
home computer: daniel
rpi: danielpi
Tolkien names like Ilmare, Varda, Khamul, Morgoth
go to bed daniel
whatever I felt like
mostly used to be names like craptop and shitbox because the machines were kind of crappy
occasionally a vague description of what kind of machine it was
router is called johnsmith, nas is called nas.
Main computer: Weaver
HTPC: Khepri
Server: Skitter
Laptop: Grue
My t60 is named microwave-me
it's 8 am
Dnepropetrovsk
usually a brand name associated with the machine. Probook, asus, x200, corsair..ect.
You heard the man, Daniel. Shoo! shoo! Off to bed with you!
I use animu names.
My server has been called Shinobu for three generations.
Just something descriptive. Not really into themed names.
That series really went to shit somewhere around chapter 12.
Yeah
Cities from books I've read. Latest is Nessus.
The nicknames I gave to my pokemons.
Sephiroth1, Sephiroth2, etc.
Had a trend to name them after megaman.EXE characters since I got my first computer.
>OE-XPS13
>OE-CAVIOSLIM
>OE-TRANSMEMORY
>OE-WINJRLTE
>OE-ASPIREM3
>OE-DEBIANVM
>OE-P700
How do you give nicknames to your pokemons?
I don't really use a scheme except that I add a "srv-" prefix to hostnames of servers. Maybe I should use names of tanks that would best describe a particular machine.
WORKSTATION
RASPBERRY
and
DEVHOST
caps is life
Ponies
file server is containment grid
laptop is ecto-1
desktop is spengler
If you do anything but names encoded with data about the machine then you are a retard. Exception being extremely large organizations who just use CNAMEs.
This is Sup Forums, nobody here is employed. We're apartment dwellers with a handful of devices.
AKB48 idols
>tfw all my devices graduated
Usually something stupid sounding that I come up with on the spot. Haven't had to name anything in a professional environment yet but I'll worry about that when I get there.
My computers are always Kjellfrid, servers are always Yggdrasil. Only time I've ever chose something else was naming my Aspire One "craptop".
Desktop: mememachine
Laptop: botnet
name it after my waif
isn't that a japanese idol group?
yes
Anonbook_Pro
Anonpad
Anontop
Anontel 6700K with AnonTX 980ti using an RanOnG motherboard
Actually, I recently built a new machine and haven't been able to think of a suitable name for it.
The old one was TITAN since it was enormous and (at the time) pretty powerful. New one is even more powerful (like by an order of magnitude) but more compact, so TITAN doesn't seem fitting. I was thinking Kratos for shits and giggles but I dunno.
Any suggestions, Sup Forums?

how much would a rmbp11,1 get me
Depends on condition. Like new would probably get you within a few hundred bucks of what you paid for it.
I'm guessing I should sell it on ebay?
Router: FBI Surveillance Van
Server: CIA Intranet
NAS: NSA DataCenter
Computer: don't really care. Usually just a name describing it.
2950_1

2851_2
2851_3
I have 0 imagination.
Kill me.
Yea, auction it with a starting bid 100 dollars below others in similar condition and then wait for retards to overpay for it.
But that's good, you can figure out at least what fucking computer it is.
what would be a nice GNU/Linux compatible replacement
Characters from a TV show I like because I have zero originality.
for laptops the model for servers usually the role or primary service run + number if multiple services are run on the network

my phone / wifiap / roommate get a static ip and dns entry along the same pattern
I dunno, Dell Precision? HP EliteBook?
If you're into meme laptops, Dell makes a tiny XPS model with a really nice 4K screen. Discuss is it's slightly pricey and hipster douchebags will occasionally use it if they want Linux but don't want to dual boot.
Still a great machine, though.
Why do you have a DNS entry for your roommate?
Laptop: LAYLEE
Xbox: MIDNA
Kindle: KAZOOIE
Phone: NAVI
so i can yell at him if hes torrenting shit without throttling his client
Why don't you use traffic shaping, then?
cause it's not really an issue.
i did this thing where i talked to him and asked him to set some limits. i have no reason to be a shady ass hat and throttle all his traffic. i only really leave the entry there because it's useful for troubleshooting
>you're a shady asshat if you cap your roommate to have the available download speed if he uses the maximum throughput for more than 30 minutes
Porn actresses of course. You can nicely match those names with your devices.
Japanese related names that interest me from shows and other shit
>desktop: Kansaiben
>Drives: seras, horo and eucliwood
Thats it
>Kansaiben
why
my computers are named after hamsters
for host computers mythological and god names in alphabetical order for chronological order of purchase:
>Ao-chin
>ba-ja
>chang-fei
for networks some star name with nodes as plantes
Nordic mythology
Aesir
Sleipnir
My case comes in black with blue LEDs on the fans, so I named it the Abyssal Lagiacrus.
My computers are named after the MAGI in Evangelion.
My desktops are MELCHIOR-[Greek letter]
My servers are BALTHASAR-[Greek letter]
My laptop is CASPER-[Greek letter]
My phones usually get X-planes codenames. In example my current xt1092 is named Valkyrie, after the XB-70.
do your phones blow up in midair too?
Wouldn't be surprised if this pos phone would blow up during a call
Literally whatever flavor of the month anime I last watched.
