What's your hostname?

My hostname is 8chinfogatheringthreads.###.gov

hostnames are UNIX cancer. i dont even remember how to set that bullshit, and unlike you're typical autistbox, my shell doesn't tell me what my hostname is every 3 seconds

sure, that's not an issue when the only other devices on your network is the modem, your wifi and your printer

Whatever the machine is meant to do. If I had just one file server, I'd call it fileserver. If I had multiple, I'd call them fileserver_[content].

case in point.

Just the operating system and a number if there're more than one, i.e. slackware0, freebsd1

i call my hostnames after elements on the periodic table based on importance, for example my home server might be "carbon" because every file i have is on it

I make the name up based on whatever the hell I feel like, sometimes I reference a town, a building, books, games etc. I generally just feel the urge to smack the shit who have a hostname with make and model or their own name as the fucking thing. Especially if its a laptop.
If its a laptop make sure it has an odd fucking name with an odd fucking username to maintain privacy. Because it still comes through on servers that [email protected]/* */ is connecting to the wifi at starbucks, well stacy just made coffee for dicky and I can see he has a dell latitude, I now know quite a bit dicky_johnson, I wonder if he has a facebook.

mine is FBI

Probably not a good suggestion but I chose to name all my computers *Rocket.
PocketRocket, MicroRocket, BuildRocket, NetRocket, you get the idea.
It's a shitty naming scheme but it succeeds in that it's descriptive enough as for anyone to easily know and remember which is which, so it accomplishes it's purpose quite nicely.

I use the OS name (gentoo, alpine), but if I had more machines, I'd use os-cpu_model_name

All my computers have been something -Communicatus, and this one has a VM of the last computer i used on it, which was Astartes-Communicatus.

At the office I work at, I've named the employee workstation after Ghostbuster characters (Stantz, Venkman, Winston, Spengler, Slimer, etc.). When I ran out of Dan Ackroyd Ghostbusters names, I started using names from the new Ghostbusters movies.

I think I'm the only one who's really aware of these hostnames because I occasionally have to SSH into the computers to troubleshoot printer or network issues. By default, the SSH daemon is disabled for most of the employees. The accounting/bookkeeping people and the CEO, for example, have to open up a terminal occasionally to start their SSH daemon for me, when they want me to log in. When they do open their terminal, I'm usually on the phone with them, and they'll sometimes read their username and hostname out load to me. Then I'll have to remember which distro I installed on that employee's computer to know whether they have systemd or not, and then tell them the appropriate command to start SSH.

A few years ago, I set up a GNU/Linux computer lab for a charter elementary school. All the hostnames were names of prominent atheist. Examples: Feynman, Krauss, Carlin (George), Connolly (Billy), Fry, Jillette, Teller, Dawkins, Hitchens, Barry (Dave), Rooney (Andy), Lee (Bruce), Russell (Bertrand), Vonnegut, Harris (Sam), Gervais, and Stallman. There were a few more -- the computer lab had about 20 computers, but I don't remember all the hostnames anymore.

Are you American?

Yes.

Outspoken atheism seems very American to me. My country is about 50% atheist, but it is rarely discussed. It's become very secular here.
I wonder if it's because we're past some tipping point or because of some cultural difference that's unrelated to the exact ratio.

It's higher than Sweden's. Impressive.
Neither. The correct answer is the Jews.

What a list. Your patriarchy is showing.

I use shades of green for personal devices and the primary domain name for servers. Emerald being my phone, for example. If I were in the habit of deploying SANs I'd probably name them after storage pioneers: Harker, Shugart, Patterson, etc.

charcoal for my desktop with a black case, ice for my white Chinese ripoff tablet, epsilon for my phone.
I know they're all extremely edgy.

That's not edgy.
Edgy hostnames include: suffering, crimsondragon, bloodstain, etc.

If you have a lot of Windows devices in your area it should be PC, if you have a lot of Apple devices in your area it should be iPhone, every other device should have the hostname hostname. Set these so if you need it for some reason, it gives the least information away about your device.

Hostname usually has no purpose other than to identify and fingerpint a machine on a DHCP enabled network. If you use public wifi hostspots and the routers given by your ISP, you should never broadcast the hostname.

You should never enable DHCP on a server!

It was meant to be Xubuntu+Macbook Air but the SJWs ruined it and I haven't come up with a new one yet

At work, all our servers are named after figures from greek mythology (hera, zeus, chrysaor, chronos etc), whereas the desktops are named - (accounting-03, it-02, etc).

My own machines are named after planets / roman gods (mercury, mars, etc)

There aren't a lot of outspoken, loud-mouthed atheist women. I think I may have used Silverman (Sarah) for one of the hostnames. If I could do it again, I would probably include Diller (Phyllis) too.

This is not enough. It's also important to randomize your MAC address, preferably every time you disconnect from one network and reconnect to another. ArchWiki documents various methods to randomize the MAC. wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MAC_address_spoofing

It is self-explanatory, DHCP has it in its name: "Dynamic Host".

For servers in a LAN you should either use physical port bindings (wired) or the EAP extensions (wireless).

Don't touch the cat turds, it takes like 5 seconds to filter them.

I do this or I'm literal:

e.g.
jira.domain.com
kickstart.homelab.lan
zabbix.homelab.lan
gw01.domain.com
ftp1.domain.com

Servers are computers that generally have a service running for clients to connect to.
With DHCP, IP addresses are assigned from a pre-configured pool
Since clients usually expect servers to be at a specific IP address, you shouldn't have them set to dynamically grab an address, you want them assigned a static address that you then map to a DNS A record so clients can always find them at the same resolvable name e.g.
www.mydomain.com

If you had DHCP setup on servers, you might type www.mydomain.com only to find out www. * is pointing to an IP that's no longer in use.

A lot of them are worse than bible thumpers ever were, you can't debate such people without that position coming up constantly. They use it as an excuse not to even entertain the notion of something greater than themselves. I think begin outspoken about it has become more common because people are more self-centered than ever now. It is just a side effect of this social media virus that has spread among the normalfags.

Use a hostname that matches the network you're connecting to. Even mirror the IP and MAC of a machine that is offline when your machine enters the network. There are no prizes for creativity.
