Post your Servernames!
Mimicing a thread I saw elsewhere.
I generally use this list to name my machines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mythological_objects
For my main server I use loeding: a modified version of Lædingr, a chain forged by Thor to bind and were broken by Fenrir. (Norse Mythology)

My first networked computer, on an AppleTalk network was called "()/)/)()"
It was an Apple Macintosh IIci.
It had that name for less than five minutes. That's how long it took the network manager to find me and demand that I rename it to something that didn't appear at the top of the Chooser, since that's where the ADMIN NetWare server should be.
He suggested "ob1", and that's what it has been and continues to be for the past 32 years. My laptop became ob2.
Servers under my custody are called short words, generally four characters or less unless they're disposable and they don't get a name beyond what the installation process creates.
Edit: Oops, one too many slashes. Fixed.
That first name is despicable, I love it
what does "()/)/)/()" mean?
Take note of my username and then squint at it.
lol, /) kinda does spell A instead of N. But I get it, it's creative, nice.
|\| N
OAAIO?
I just spotted an extraneous slash. I fixed my comment. Hopefully that clears up any confusion.
OAAO?
You're going to kick yourself in a moment..
What is my name?
Edit: it seems that names are not always visible on Lemmy. If you're playing at home, my name is Onno.
You should know that not all clients display your display name, some only show your username@instance.
It's not apparent to everyone that your name is Onno.
Thank you, that's not something I knew, the three clients I've used show both the account and the name.
Edit: This is weird, my current client (Connect) shows the name, but only for my account, not for any other account.

It turns out that some clients don't show my name together with my account. My name is Onno.
THAT MAKES SENSE!
