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 use characters from whichever book I’m reading at the time. Examples:

    • Arya: From ASOIAF, a small but powerful Ultrabook
    • Cthulhu: From HP Lovecraft, a huge 17" laptop
    • Horus: From the Horus Heresy books, A powerful laptop
    • Binky: Death’s white horse from discworld, a white desktop
    • Peaches: A rat that always carries a book with her. My home server
