I’ve ended up with a number of machines on my network, and a need to name them all in a somewhat logical way. For several years I had them named after the planets, which worked well until the PCs for myself, my girlfriend, servers and Raspberry Pi’s quickly summed up to more than the eight planets. I’ve broadened it somewhat to include any Greek/Roman mythological figure, but the system is definitely not as clean as it used to be.
Do you have a coordinated naming theme for your machines?
I’ve never thought about this, but now that you bring it to my attention I think I’d go with a combination of mineral-flower, so for example “tourmaline-calendula”.
Also to automate that, I saw that there is this neat website perchance.org that you can use to construct random word generators, I’m wondering if there’s an open source alternative though, that would be great
