I know, very original. Now I'm rocking a RPI4 and its nickname is... rpi4. If someday I get to have a multiple machine infrastructure I will put them better names I guess. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- carlinhush · 2023-12-12 16:36 My home server is called 'Cerritos' because it does all the important work but does not get enough credit ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bmaeser · 2023-12-12 16:44 tatooine.lan (nas) risa.lan (server) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LastTreestar · 2023-12-12 16:46 I looked up cerritos.

So media is Molly, gaming server for kids and I is Arthur. Setting up a new gaming server for public, just need to decide a name. Maybe Charlie ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KD_done · 2023-12-12 19:02 So, I have a network.. and the collection is called "the cookiejar". The NAS is called "lu", that runs the arr suite with bits and pieces to make it do what works best here. I got 4 VPS servers running elsewhere. I have a ceph storage block streched over the 4 + NAS envrionemnts, and that is called the cookiejar. `pims.mail` `tuc.store` [`mikado.media`](https://mikado.media) `bastogne.stun` I came up with the names and functions a while back now.. and nothing makes real sense anymore.. and yes, the pims does still do mail, and tuc does backup, jellyfin runs on the media and the stun box does it's stun things.. but, that's just a fraction of what else is on there.. it's a "hoot" if you don't know what you are looking for. It's the worst kind of security by obscurity :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Skotticus · 2023-12-12 19:05 I do something similar, except I draw from whatever shows I'm watching at the time I'm doing the initial build. My main PC has been Serika ever since I watched Space Brothers 😂 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sturgeon01 · 2023-12-12 19:11 I name all of my devices after former pets. Usually the slower machines I name after the less intelligent ones... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 10322 · 2023-12-12 19:18 I name mine after cosmological nouns. Nebula, Red Giant, and I had one as Black Hole but I changed it when I realized I didn't like the idea of naming it in a way that seems like data can't get out. Before that it was the color of the chassis. WhiteBox, BlackBox. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mentose457 · 2023-12-12 19:34 One of mine is called NASHOLE and the other is Skippy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- johntellsall · 2023-12-12 20:01 # Garry Shandling I wanted something unique but a little silly :-D ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SillyLilBear · 2023-12-12 21:23 NastyBeast is my main NAS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- from-nibly · 2023-12-12 21:46 Mine are all named after monster rancher monsters. suezo, mochi, tiger, monol, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CobreDev · 2023-12-13 01:01 My server is GLaDOS, my 3D printer is Atlas, and I'm going to continue with the Portal theme in the future ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WhatsUrPinNumber · 2023-12-13 02:07 THE BOX ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KALELSUPRMN · 2023-12-13 02:36 Most of my stuff is Superman related Krypton - primary Unraid server Krypton2 - backup Unraid server Brainiac - home assistant server ManOfSteel - random windows server for various things Darkseid- always-on VPN VM for reasons Doomsday - VM dedicated to certain... browsing activities LastSonOfKrypton - phone LastDaughterOfKrypton - iPad pLexLuthor - Plex Server FortressOfSolitude - Homer docker landing page etc. etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- acbadam42 · 2023-12-13 05:31 Was watching King of the Hill when I was at that phase of naming things so server is called Hank. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sottey · 2023-12-13 05:45 Named my first server Grumpy cause I was grumpy. When the second one got installed I decided to name it dopey. Thus, my latest one got named sneezy.
