My main server is named Postulate (an idea that you assume for the sake of argument), my desktop is named Axiom (a proved postulate), and my backup server is named Corollary (an idea that follows from an axiom).

What are your computers named, and why?

I started naming all of my devices based on their number mk1-mk6, then I realized it's hard to differentiate desktop from phone off a list. Now I've got: Mkr1 - rack server Mkp6 - phone 6 And desktops/laptops are just mkX depending on age. Then set static IPs based on their number
