I got with Ancient Egyptian Deities for everything. (See: my username).

remnant, partially because it's a frankestein of second hand from wallapop and dusted pieces from my old computers, partially as a weeb reference to the world of RWBY lol

  • SpyHunter (PiHole and WireGuard VPN)
  • Pacman (Ubuntu Server w/ Dashy, Syncthing, Portainer, and NextCloud inside Docker)
  • MsPacMan (Ubuntu server for failover purposes. Still under construction)
  • CrazyTaxi (Windows Desktop)

I don't have many now, just minstrel (it plays music) but previously they've always just be sounds. Rawr, groan, whimper, bark, moan, growl etc.

Except minstrel (it plays music) :p

OK what is whimper's job?

@naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

whimper was a dovecot and postfix machine. Email isn't very fun

My first server was a used Dell r420, so I named it Pyrocumulus, after clouds that form over fires or volcanoes

I do random things like the names of vegetables or colors or car brands. But right now I am using Borg designations. Not in use, but an example would be eleven@twelve.
Although not a server, I tend to add the capacity to USB drives. They are issued a number and I keep track of them. When one dies it gets deleted from the inventory list. So it would be IssueNumber-capacity 103-04G.

My tangible servers and clients have people's names

My system components VMs have mythology names.

My non prod VMs have identifiable names like routeros, debiangui etc.

Fun stuff are my smart vacuums, I give them old women names from different countries. My very first one was Consuela, thinking of Family Guy.

I tend to use objects in space. My media server is called phobos, and my AzuraCast server is called dorado.

They're a bit meaningless, though, so when I do my planned server upgrade this year I'm going to go with something different. My pfSense server was called sibyl, so perhaps something along those lines.

ebc ,

I use famous programmers. First Linux server was Torvalds, first mac was Woz, currently in service I have Kernighan (one of the inventors of C), KJohnson (Katherine Johnson was a programmer for NASA) and Shamir (The S in RSA).

asphalt ,

My partner and I came up with animal names for hostnames. The first server shall be 'bee'

Workstations machines get first name type names that are inspired by the brand of the machine. This asus is named adam.

I used to have an old laptop stuck in a corner just running Transmission. I called that Seed because that was its sole purpose. Its replacement is fully automated *arr and media server, making it both seed and vault, so I had to call it Spitsbergen (reference)
