Years ago, I was in a University library and they had named all the printers after characters from the first three Star Wars movies.

I liked the idea of having a theme, so I use shark names. White, Blacktip, Mako, Hammerhead, etc etc.

Tumble me weed (laptop, not a server)

Chevy - Main server, rarely goes down unless I missed something on Ford

Ford - Test bed for Chevy. Questionable shit happens here.

UFO - primary desktop, most of the stuff happens here. Old Alienware case with new insides.

Sat - dreaming laptop, used for streaming from UFO.

Tron - VPN

Edit: Forgot my Wi-Fi router Colson, it dies often due to aging hardware.

I feel like UFO would make more sense for laptop due to it being portable, but I get it is because the desktop is Alienware

Kobester1985 ,

I thought about making the desktop Mothership but that feels more like a server to me. Plus the original serial for the Alienware also had UFO in it.

Nah desktop mothership, server star command and laptop UFO.

Mine are named after fictional robots, computer programs, or AI. It started with my wifi being GLaDOS for 5 GHz and Wheatley for 2.4 GHz. I thought it was funny that everyone could immediately tell that Wheatley was the slower one. Over time, I continued the trend. My gaming PCs are named after characters from the Mega Man X series (desktop is Zero, laptop is X, steam deck is Sigma). My macs are named EVE and WALL-E. My server is named Sibyl System (from Psycho Pass).

My SYNOLOGY NAS that's just shy of being used for too much stuff (96% CPU means I've got 4% left babyyyy) is, was, and will forever be: Senpai.

That way people (my wife and parents) notice it in the network list.

nuc because it is a nuc and vps because it is a vps.

Since I'm kinda fan of Terry Pratchett, I naturally have HEX at home.

ErwinLottemann ,

my storage machine is luggage, and i use discworld names that kind of are relevant to the gunction for everything else in my network, too. my robot vacuums name is lu-tze for example.

Daaric ,

Nice ones!
Since it ain't a server I haven't mentioned it, but I had my WiFi ssids named CLACKS.

smileyhead ,

monokuma - my PC

monokid - my laptop
monosuke - my PostmarketOS phone

Devices at home are named after Autobots and remote devices are named after Deceptions.

The devices usually get some descriptor of what they look like...

For example I have:

  • Flatboard - an old core2duo era Xeon bare tower server board I got on Craigslist for $20 that lives on a custom backplate and no case (thus, is flat)
  • OrangeBox - an Orange Pi 5 in a aptly-colored orange case I custom modeled and 3d printed for it
  • DumbBrick - my retired gaming PC built from a t30 dell tower server that is basically a nondescript black brick

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

I'm a BJCP certified beer judge, so I am using beer styles for my server names. Pilsner is my main server, my gaming rig is Stout, the Digital Ocean droplet is Marzen, and the kids' computer was Rootbeer.
