What host names do you use?

Well I use concepts of games I like. Right now Alan Wake and Pacific Drive are the two of them.

• Main Laptop: Typewriter
• Steam deck: Poet
• NAS: The Lake
• Main Pc, that has become more a render station since I mostly work on a laptop and game on a steam deck: Lighthouse
• Hue Hub: Light switch
• Phone: Flashlight

But when I started to be more interested in networking and installed openwrt on my router, I was more infatuated by Pacific Drive:

• Router: Outer Containment Wall
• WiFi 5/2.4 Dual: ARDAnet
• WiFi for iot: RemnantNet
• GuestNet: OEZone
• VPN: BreacherNet
• Switch: SparkTower

I use "butler" terms, like:

• Jarvis
• Archibald - used for my old Arch desktop
• Alfred

They serve me well, and I give them due respect.

I like your schema. I've used something similar. My hosts have always been sci-fi space/time ships/stations, user accounts are characters from or Captain's of said vessels. Over the years I've had a TARDIS, Serenity, Moya, Out of Bands II, Galactica, Millennium Falcon, Rocinante, etc. It's usually whatever I happen to be discovering or binging at the time I setup the machine. For nearly a decade the TARDIS was my server/NAS because it was bigger on the inside that survived through several generations of smaller devices like laptops and raspberry Pi's named after smaller lighter vessels like Serenity and Rocinante.

You are missing the Muse for your Poet.

[marighost@lemm.ee]

Shit, you're right!

[isles@lemmy.world]

I only have 1 box really, it's named Hal. Seems helpful, not entirely sure if it's on my side. Could murder me. I keep an analog shotgun next to it.

I use names of bones for my different serves. I have metacarpus, clavicle, femur and coccyx.

[isolox@lemmy.world]

I named mine after different Half Life characters:
GMAN- Server
FREEMAN- Main Gaming Rig
ALYX- Laptop

And so on...

[shiftymccool@programming.dev]

My home network is called The IT Clowd with these devices:
Moss - physical server
Roy - physical server
Jen - vm - main docker host
Richmond - vm - *arr stack
Denholm - vm - monitoring, logging
Douglas - vm - Home Assistant stack
Basement - vm - development server

[toribor@corndog.social]

This is basically how I do it too.

I used to be more creative but then I got in the habit of running more servers and swapping hardware more frequently so it got harder to remember what hardware I was actually connecting to. Now they get hardware based names and everything else is named by service-based Ansible roles.

So you wanna tell me your NAS is a Data Lake? ;D
