This page describes the hostnames I use for my computers, and the computers themselves. Nerd stuff, I just like talking about this.
The pattern i'm using to assign hostnames is rather basic - a, b, c, etc, then come up with a word that start with that.
Some hosts don't follow that rule intentionally because they are deemed not worthy. Remote servers would be worthy but are also excluded.
main pattern
alli
Old desktop PC. Pentium II 350mhz. Replaced by bolsa.
Named after a certain girl.
bolsa
Current desktop PC.
Core i5 4690 3.5ghz, ship of theseus'd with the only continuity being the filesystem, with an arch linux installed 2008 and lasting 10+ years
Named after an old friend of mine (yes, it means "bag")
carl0s
Current network "router" (as seen above). Pentium II 400mhz. Bought it relatively recently, actually (2009?). It was cheap. A compaq something, they had lots of those.
Named after the operating system used in a guide to "hack the gibson" written a guy called Caco_Patane.
dante
Old desktop PC that I didn't use. Forgot the specs, some pentium D iirc. It's gone.
I didn't pick the name.
edenspring
My first laptop. Died in 2013. RIP.
Named after track #3 of the album "The Gallery" of Dark Tranquillity.
futari
Old phone. Motorola milestone 1. Had an arch linux arm chroot with persistently running sshd - newer phones don't have this for reasons and are stuck with factory hostnames.
Named after the japanese word for "pair" or "couple".
grandeur
My current laptop. Dell D630C.
Named after track #10 of the album "The Gallery" of Dark Tranquillity, as some kind of spiritual successor to edenspring.
hostnames that don't follow this pattern
adsl
Meh.
openwrt
Also meh.
saya
My first VPS. 1gb openvz at buyvm. For a minecraft server. Shared with ruskia. Gone.
Named after saya from saya no uta.
zeroflux
Second VPS for minecraft. 2gb then 1gb KVM at hostigation. Same as above, gone.
Zero flux given.
zaya
Third VPS for minecraft. 2gb openvz at hostigation. Same as above, gone.
Name is a mix of saya and zeroflux.
youmu
First personal usage VPS. 192mb openvz at 123systems, was $15 yearly or so. Uptime was bad and tech support was horrible. Replaced by myon.
Named after youmu konpaku from touhou.
myon
Current personal usage VPS. 512mb openvz at hostigation, $30 yearly with a promo. Uptime is great, network uptime not so much (neighbors getting DoS'd once in a while). Tech support is love. The owner of hostigation retired and I can't really recommend the service these days.
Named after youmu's ghost half.
asanti
Old phone. Motorola Photon Q.
Name is the official codename.
addison
Current phone. Moto Z play.
Name is the official codename.
