Dear nerdfolk,
If you're the sort of person who names their computers *and* has a naming scheme for them - what are they named and what's your naming scheme?
@datarama I originally had few devices when starting out on Linux, so I named them after they what they actually were: Laptop, Desktop, Netbook.
Eventually, like many here, I started hoarding too many old devices that family members didn't want anymore and this scheme started having collisions, so I had to adapt. Nowadays I just give them funny names that I would give to cartoon characters: a thick laptop from 2010 with celeron became "chunkyboi," my first NUC "nuclear," when I tried Alpine Linux, I named it "pinester." Debian Sid became "debster," FreeBSD was "freebo." I named my first Thinkpad "teefour" (I guess I wanted to give it a Terminator-sounding name or something)
As I distrohop casually, I can come up with these funny names every now and then, and sometimes "revive" the same machine under different OSes. In those cases, I add a "revenge" or "reloaded" clause ex: "pinesters-revenge."
The one constant thing is the network-attached Pi: always called "flyingtoaster"
