I hostname all my networked devices (mobile devices, desktops, servers…) after prescription drugs, it’s a pretty neat system. You can even do cute shit like categorise devices thematically by drug class - name smartphones after dissociatives, AI training servers after hallucinogens… one can be as creative with hostnaming as they’d like :)

I tend to think of the physical properties of the computer that distinguish it from other computers
If I got a Framework Desktop I’d consider calling it “opposite of Jack” because it doesn’t have an optical drive to rip CDs and I’d have to use a USB thing and that’s a rare property in my mind for Wintel machines

I name my computers after governments/secret police. My old laptop was Kremlin, my PC is Mossad, and my phone is called Palantir.

This is why I started becoming more outgoing again. I feel dumb for not going to places like museums and zoos instead of staring at a screen most of the day. Normalfags forced me out of the web lmao.

username@celestial body
I base it off the device a little, PCs & servers are planets & suns while mobile devices are moons and accessories are asteroids. I just pick a planet/moon that's got a cool name.

I use latin words that describe the device best: bestia for desktop, cogitator for laptop, crustum for raspberry pi, aliena for vps etc.

I name services after init systems

runit - my main machine /
systemd - my server

etc

>>106436213
This is also a good one. I had a friend who liked H52A agonists who would do something autistic like this.
>>
Your real name @ the default hostname
>>
>>106437366
More like anon@ibuprofen, where anon is either my first name for public-facing/business machines, or a randomly generated pseudonym for anonymous systems. Obviously, in some cases a user account doesn’t make sense - instead, it’s just root@ibuprofen or toor@ibuprofen for admin tasks and appropriate names for service accounts.
>>
>>106440865
Doesn’t naming computers after a component they necessarily run, one that may or may not be matching their hostname, get very confusing very quickly? You can only name a single machine “systemd”, but that’s the init all your nixos systems would be using for example. Even if you don’t like Nix, surely you have more than one computer running a particular init, right? How do you not run out of names? Even using obscure init systems, surely you retire machines faster than new names can be created?

I'm a simple person. I don't manage many services I consider personal enough to bequeath a name. In the name of operational security, the defaults make the most sense to retain.
