My first personally-owned computer was named tangle. Given what happens to the wires I think it's a good name for any computer; however, since every machine on the network needs a unique name that 486DX is still the only tangle around here. After suffering a 25 node cluster where each was given a person's name starting alphabetically with ajala for A, I've taken to numbering schemes. For example, the nodes in the super-cheap cluster are named s1, s2, s3, s4 and s5.My main computer has always had devnull as a hostname... since the late 80s. Not sure how many there have been.Sure you aren't just typing the data to /dev/null?
Unfortunately, Fido missed the memo and has been giving portable hard disks unique names based on breeds of cow starting with angus.
The newly procured soft router for the dog house is called frog. I wonder what name the Pi 5 NAS under construction will have.
