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!

Characters from the Murderbot Dairies, mostly

main laptop (t480 currently) -- Murderbot;
previous main laptop (x270) -- MB20;
homeserver -- ART;
a TV box running armbian -- Miki;
t440p is currently Behemoth (from Bulgakov's "Мастер и Маргарита"), although I'll probably rename it to Holism;
x230t -- Three;
a random thin client I occasionally use to test stuff is yogurt (from" love, death & robots"), not sure if I'll rename them.

For my servers I try to use names from the Final Fantasy universe. Lately been focusing on FFXI end game bosses.

Kirin (opnsense firewall) Byakko (proxmox host) Tiamat (proxmox backup) Shiva (Nas)

The only clever virtual machine names I care to brag about are: DockBox (VM running docker) Jellxc (proxmox lxc running jellyfin)
