What host names do you use?
What host names do you use?
Hi fellow selfhosters!
What hostnames do you use for your systems and services?
And maybe why if it's an interesting story.
I'll start:
Steam Deck: krax
Smartphone: krix (once I get LineageOS installed again)
MiniPC: krux
Reserved for future use: krex & krox
Creative, I know. š The names have no deeper meaning. The x comes from Linux. That's it.
I know some of you use god names of certain pantheons, such as Thor. But I find that boring as a lot of people are doing that.

Now let your pants down and tell me all about
your embarrassing host names!

I use the most boring names: LASTNAME-LAPTOP LASTNAME-PHONE LASTNAME-SERVER LASTNAME-ROUTER
But, living in tight suburban spaces, I'm never confused whether a device is mine or somebody else's.
Me too: firstname-device_model
alice-laptop_XPS
bob-cell_i12
I feel so boring!
Shit. Here I thought I was creative.
I use my alias butter. With either the device or the OS if I'm dual booting or distrohopping.
