if you name your servers/projects anything other than like, “swampbog” you will not see valhalla

tech hobbyists always naming their home server something edgy like Hephaestus or Orion makes me want to scream, even more so when they call it that in regular conversation instead of “my computer”

We used to name servers after cocktails like mimosa, martini, paloma, daiquiri, etc. It didn't make it any easier to remember the purpose of any of the machines, but did make the sysadmins sound like raging alcoholics.

... my computers are Roslin, Starbuck, and Drummer, and another one of my devices is named "Captain Now, Carina Later." Our embroidery machines are Space Boyfriend Poe Dameron and Space Girlfriend Bobbie Draper. If you're not naming devices fun shit, your life is boring. :p

All of mine are characters from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the little desktop being Puck, the backup server being Titania, the gateway Oberon etc.

One of the drives I got a little while back was impressively large, so I named the volume 'Xbox Hueg' because apparently I still laugh at and make connections to memes I saw over 20 years ago
