Places in video games is one option for me especially in cluster setups. EG cluster Tamriel has nodes Morrowind, Skyrim, Oblivion, etc.

[emerald@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I tend to use the names of angels for my personal devices (which surprisingly was inspired by this and not NGE)

For laptops I tend to use demons instead, just seems to fit better (which actually was inspired by Gundam IBO but this is the list)

For example:

• desktop (Linux side) is Raziel
• desktop (windows side ) is Azrael
• main laptop is Gusion
• eBay Thinkpad is Barbatos

[hakunawazo@lemmy.world]

Yes, yours too.

[hakunawazo@lemmy.world]

Naming scheme like John Wick with his dog.

[sheldan@lemmy.world]

I have been using Uranus moons for all my devices.

[whyausername_1@lemmy.world]

I use characters from Haikyu and Thor.

I have asahi, hinata, daichi and heimdal running.

This is my favorite of the thread.

You can even call one Host, haha.

[jolteon@lemmy.zip]

I usually use pokémon, typically from the first few generations.

[oisteink@feddit.nl]

You have a mighty big hand if you reach l and a with the same one

[sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I wouldn't say my hostnames are very creative, but they all have some kind of backstory.

Main desktop: POwOful
It's a pretty powerful desktop, so why not call it that

Laptop: LenOwO
Can you guess the laptop brand?

Server 1: Shitbox
It's my first server box I ever built, so it's underpowered and pretty shitty.

Server 2: Stowage
My proper server with actual data parity, and it's pretty powerful

Server 3: Jank
This one is another shitmix of hardware with random harddrives in raid 0. I am aware that they'll die at some point, and all of that data stored on it will be lost, so i use it as temporary storage whenever I need to copy something from one machine to another.

Robot vacuum: suckywucky
Yea....

[daporkchop_@lemmy.ml]

Y'all are too creative for me... I have:

• poweredge-r520-0
• poweredge-t620-0
• poweredge-t620-1
• pi4-0
• pi3b-0
• pi3b-1
• pi3b-2
• pi3b-3
• vostro-3525-0
• ideapad-c340-0

When I was 18 and in my first job, my boss and I installed the very first windows NT file servers for a major uk public sector organisation. They were all named after beers that we'd drunk on team nights out. We had Blacksheep, Tanglefoot, Snecklifter, and so on. They were in a test environment so it didn't matter. Until they went into production...

That was over 30 years ago now, but I still usually resort to beers.

[mbirth@lemmy.ml]

Wait until I tell you about all the small issues this zoo of devices brings with it… haha.
