have you "named" your computer?

[BD2003]

My old computers network name was "Tower of Power", My roomates is "Meincomp", I had a server named "Chef", and my currently computer's name is "Maria" named after my other roomates mom.

I have 2 computers. One is a really old comp that I use for nothing but browsing. I call it "Nef."
My other comp is pretty new and I use it for gaming, among other things. I call it "Fap."


BTW I literally laughed out loud at mein comp.

The computer's name is "paininmyasshole", and "My computer" has been renamed "shitbox" :thumbsup:

My workgroup is Fett and each of the PCs in my house has a Fett name. My file server's name is Slave1, the workstation is named Jengo, and the game box is named Boba.

..."shitbox"

Hasn't changed...still naming every desktop the same. Laptops I've had were always named craptop.

Damn...moshquerade...that's a name I haven't seen in a while.

Wow what a bump!

Wow what a bump!

18+ years digs are rare, but something that you could not even have done a decade ago.

That said, to stay on topic, yes. Static IP's from DHCP with name included.
i7-2600 was "zero" (like the Type 0 carrier fighter, "0" being the last digit of the imperial year 2600)
New Ryzen 7 system got name "raphael" (since I did not spot any nice 7800-related).

At work network (and Windows) names are based on date+serial, but I have nicknames in ssh config and/or Ansible inventories.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

M4H and eplebnista. Always wondered what became of them. 👻

I go through way too many PCs and parts to dispense names for the vast majority of them. I have the Stormtroopers now, that's about it.

 

[Fenixgoon]

Most of my stuff is named after Deus Ex characters.
I think my laptop is TracerT? My network is Majestic12

 

[AnitaPeterson]

I like to use spaceship names... "Excalibur", "Liberator", "Pegasus", "Galactica", "Serenity"... So far, no "Enterprise" or "Discovery".

 

[Motostu]

I used to, but haven't in a couple of decades. Goliath and Superdog are the ones I remember.

 

[Stiff Clamp]

GARGOYLE, I think

(just because I like gargoyles and have collected 11 or so.)
