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. 😅 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 recently de-embarrassed my hostnames. I went with names that are one step removed from being dead obvious. Feels nice having descriptive, but not uncreative, names for everything

    • Custom built desktop pc: Studio
    • Home theater PC: Theater
    • Server: Gamut (this was Nexus until I ran into bs regarding the TLD preload list in web browsers… had to go with a non-tld name)
    • Everything else: Based off the model. For example, my Asus Vivobook S 15 is just “Vivobook”, etc
