My main server is named Postulate (an idea that you assume for the sake of argument), my desktop is named Axiom (a proved postulate), and my backup server is named Corollary (an idea that follows from an axiom).
What are your computers named, and why?
My Proxmox server is named Atlas, as the titan holding up my network.
My VMs on the proxmox server are named:
- TrueNAS (I didn’t have a good name)
- Poseidon for my docker server (Something something docker -> whale -> ocean)
I also have a raspberry pi running for testing out some stuff. It’s named Eileithyia after the greek goddess of birth.
At home I name all devices after characters or planets from Ready Player One and Two. WadeWatts, parzival, daito, shoto, halliday and OASIS are my PC, laptop, phone, router, NAS or WiFi. I also have servers named ir0k, art3mis or halcydonia. I remember working at a science project years ago with lots of workstations, where we named them all after James Bond villains like Stromberg, Goldfinger or Scaramanga. Eventually we ran out of villains and had to number them. 🙃
My systems have names of Jupiter’s moons. The main devices are named like the four Galilean moons.
