Mimicing a thread I saw elsewhere.
I generally use this list to name my machines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mythological_objects
For my main server I use loeding: a modified version of Lædingr, a chain forged by Thor to bind and were broken by Fenrir. (Norse Mythology)
“rocinante” for my proxmox host.
“awkward, past his prime, and engaged in a task beyond his capacities.” From don Quixote’s wiki page.
It seemed fitting considering it is a server built from old PC parts…engaged in tasks beyond its abilities.
The rest of my servers (VMs moslty) are named for what they actually do/which vlan they are on (eg vm15) and aren’t fun or excitin names. But at least I know if I am on that VM it has access to that vlan(or that it’s segregated from my other networks).
