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 wouldn’t say my hostnames are very creative, but they all have some kind of backstory.

    Main desktop: POwOful
    It’s a pretty powerful desktop, so why not call it that :)

    Laptop: LenOwO
    Can you guess the laptop brand?

    Server 1: Shitbox
    It’s my first server box I ever built, so it’s underpowered and pretty shitty.

    Server 2: Stowage
    My proper server with actual data parity, and it’s pretty powerful

    Server 3: Jank
    This one is another shitmix of hardware with random harddrives in raid 0. I am aware that they’ll die at some point, and all of that data stored on it will be lost, so i use it as temporary storage whenever I need to copy something from one machine to another.

    Robot vacuum: suckywucky
    Yea…
