nice try NSA

I started with philosophers I liked, but I struggled to spell Nietzsche, so I started mixing up the computer brand name and its purpose.

starpi
handpi
Nietzsche
Roman

#deceased machines
Bob
Bill
Mills
Bentham
Joseph
Locke

Wow, I've burned through a lot of computers in just a few years...

I've grown partial to using fortresses from the maginot line.

primary: Main PC (Linux)
secondary: Windows VM
tertiary: Server
quaternary: Linux VM

Not exciting, but easy to remember I guess.

Why type it out long-form? Wouldn't it be easier just to use the prefix?

ssh user@secondary #long
ssh user@di #short

As you said, easily remembered. It has been my convention for a really long time

Also
ssh tertiary

ssh user@tri

Just seems clunky to have to type in "quaternary" a lot.

tab completeion?

I've used a lot planets and satellites for names, mostly the moons of Jupiter and Saturn

My favorite so far was io

harry potter

station

I use the major arcana from tarot cards.

Catgirls usually. Female deities as well.

PC - archangel
Thinkpad - angel
Pretty intuitive I think

If you do anything but encode the purpose and perhaps location in the host name you're an idiot.

Desktop: Sinnoh
T420: Kalos
HP Pavilion laptop: Kanto
Gateway with broken screen: Johto

pi
raspberry
raspbian

Baltic, Finno-ugric, Nordic place names for most of my hardware

>tallinn
>tartu
>varska
>harju
>kiruna
>oulu
>[. . .]

Also some star names for Sun boxes, and Californian place names for SGI boxes.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

nordic mythology, realms and places as machine names and figures as user names

I named my NAS "takarabako" since it's where I store all my treasures.

I named my computer "colossus" because I had built my first PC right around the time Shadow of the Colossus was released and the full ATX tower was massive. The name stuck and all my subsequent computers have been called colossus. I might change the name if I ever move to an ITX build.

My other devices are named in a more practical manner, simply naming them what they are so they are easy to recognize. TV named TV, e-reader named books, 3DS named N3DS, etc.

HAL

>colossus
the first computer was called colossus, it was as big as a living room and used valves

calling doubles for Stallman dies tonight choking on freedom

lazarus because I brought my thinkpad back from the dead with my own hands

My hostname is always Aetherius and I name my drives in this order:
Sovngarde
Mantella
SandsBehindStars
FarShores

desktop -- erick-pc
laptop - erick-laptop
vps - erick-vps

creative

I usually name them by OS, use, and the number they are in the network (in case if there are more then one device). So the first arch laptop would be al-01.

Server - server
Desktop - computer
Laptop - thinkpad

Usually 4-6 characters based on the model number (portables), CPU/mobo (desktops), or ownership/purpose (remote machines).

Currently, 20BT for my X1 Carbon, i65 for my desktop, and rtor for my main VPS.

Implying-PC

I have no taste.

>encode the purpose
>purpose changes
>encode location
>location changes

>xbmc-living-room
>in closet as file server

The name of the device I'm on. MacBook is MacBook. Thinkpad is Thinkpad. Easy enough.

What is this beautiful network map, and how can i get one?

I use emoticons
ubuntu server: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
thinkpad: (´･ω･`)
phone: ಠ_ಠ
macbook: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That must be infuriating when trying to SSH, lol

Names of niggers mixed with a number. Computers are Dayquan, Dayqtoo, and Dayqtri; servers are Laquanfor and Laquanfive.

autism + photoshop

Sexy.

did he ever post an updated one? I like him, he has both a nice network and he takes being an enormous weeb really seriously

he probably just assigns them static IPs and uses those.

My stuff is boring.
user-desktop
user-server
user-pfsense
user-laptop
user-x-vm, where X is some abbreviation for the purpose of the VM.

Usually by the OS and something to describe the machine.

Like
>WindowsBlackBox (Windows PC in a black desktop case)
>WindowsSmallBox (Small form factor Windows PC)
>DebLaptop (Debian Laptop)
>OSXDualG4 (Dual G4 Mac)
>DebeServ (Debian on eServe)

And just generic names for others
>GATEWAY (router)
>FileServ (NAS)

Just a few examples.

IWantDatPizza

because i'm a fat pizza eating fuck

Is that made by a girl? Only excuse I can find.

my theme: my name

i'm not creative.

probably just used some tool like diaf or visio

what do you think?

photoshop

he posted the psds back then

user-desktop - Main desktop
user-surface - Laptop
user-work - Work laptop
htpc-living - Living room's HTPC
htpc-bedroom - Bedroom's HTPC
soot - Server

Desktop: Fluffy
Laptop: Serenity
Other Desktop: Itsy
Server: Skynet

Srv1,srv2 and so on

I just name them after what the machine is called, my laptop is called x200s, my PC nuc, guess why. Servers are named after what they are doing, mail, web, database. Yeah, it's boring, but after inhering systems named after dank memes like Greek gods or anime battleships with no documentation I decided to do it better.

My favorite is R'lyeh.local
Other than that, I tend to use names of mythological places with .local or .outside appended depending on location.

For example I have a vm named cthulhu that resides on a R'lyeh.local that is on a network with a router named eldritch.outside . But those names only work for intranet connections.

I did a R'lyeh.ocean once just for kicks as a test server on the eldritch.outside network

htpc/file server - streamboat

"server"
I'm not too creative with names.

No back support.

EoSD 2hus
It's my favourite of the Windows games

when you're that fat it doesnt matter, your spine is fucked regardless

Change the host name, then, retard. Or use CNAMEs.

SYSADMIN! FUCK YEAH!

Physical machines are color coded, to correspond with case color. (purple/black/white etc), vms named for their function (dhcp/ns1/ns2/vpn/webserver/puppet etc)

Infrastructure equipment (servers, routers, etc) named for junctions in roads/circuitry (Nexus, Junction, Node, etc).

User systems' names based on fire/storms/nature's fury.

Purely utility devices (HTPCs, etc.) are named for their purpose.

Current:
Router: Node
Server: Nexus
Desktop: Maelstrom
Planned desktop: Conflagration
Laptop: Balefire
Phone: Torch

>What is your theme?
I just find big lists of things with neat names and use those. Capital cities of countries, characters from Arthurian legend, etc. Right now it's types of trees for servers, and cactaceae genera for personal computers.

Fucking eric

Ice Station Mike and then Satellite Alpha, Beta, Excertia.

What's a 'maginot line'?

Someone didn't paid attention to history class

Crissy's MacBook Pro

I name every device after a different member of the Wu Tang Clan

Octopus
Seahorse
Orca
Squid
Bullshark

Given that he posted a nazi soldier, he probably knows exactly what the maginot line is.

desktop is @mememachine
laptop is @botnet

MATT-PC
MATT-SRV
MATTAB

matt is my name

Main machine: Queen Cobblestone ( dont remember why i named it this)
Windows laptop G50-80 (its a G50-80)

Sega systems. megadrive, saturn, dreamcast, lindbergh, gigas, kyugo, chihiro, naomi, ringwide, ringedge, model1, model2, model3, nu,

Stealing this

RoomHeater-PC

I just call them by their model name (T410, Asus etc).

For a home network I use ex. "[email protected]" or dnsserver etc. I only access the network with my thinkpad at the moment which is named "sleeper", because I found a label in a label maker that said that and stuck it on the laptop. Since I can sleep for a good 18 hours if I have no reason to be up I thought prime@sleeper was appropriate.

It'd be nice to have a consistent namong convention but I have yet to find one that has any relevance to the duties of the machines

>With Retina Display

Atlantis

Because it represents its mysterious mystic ruins surviving from its destruction and recovering its own utopia. It was just a Chromebook on the dumpster pile then my brother found it and we just recovered it and install Gentoo on it.

Here have a mermaid.

I name them after different mythological figures. Bahamut, Custodis, Xihe.

>I can sleep for a good 18 hours
Horrifying.

Characters from Rabi ribi

My thinkpad is under heron@kitchen

I like going with bird names, so I think I'm gonna go with Macaw@Forrest for my desktop

good idea?

I can't believe this thread is still up - I have all of the hostnames aliased in my bashrc on everything - so it's not all that hard
