Something to identify physical device, plus OS if it's a dual booting PC.

Should be ".home.arpa"
your.momma.home.arpa

Not if you use systemd. You will be forced to use your real name to pass Pottering's attestation.

I used to have a faggy naming scheme, like naming all my devices after planets (usually was something space-related)
Now I just leave it at the default or set it to the name of the distro, since it's just another metric by which software can fingerprint you.
I always set my user name to "user" too btw.

I wish I had:
>desktop /pcbg/
>laptop /tpg/
>phone /spg/
>server /hsg/
>dedicated llm server /lmg/
>etc
But I honestly don't care too much to do that. I think I usually have the default of OS name or computer model.

I name the hostname after the computer's model name. Like this is my white macbook from mid 2010 model named "Macbook 7,1" so the hostname is macbook71
