Hi fellow selfhosters!
What hostnames do you use for your systems and services?
And maybe why if it's an interesting story.
I'll start:
Steam Deck: krax
Smartphone: krix (once I get LineageOS installed again)
MiniPC: krux
Reserved for future use: krex & krox
Creative, I know. 😅 The names have no deeper meaning. The x comes from Linux. That's it.
I know some of you use god names of certain pantheons, such as Thor. But I find that boring as a lot of people are doing that.
Now let your pants down and tell me all about
your embarrassing host names!
"Scale with more ProxMox nodes? Don't you mean

Hah, they're TrueNAS BSD jails, but yes, now I need to figure out how to rename the "Jails" tab in my UI to overlords.
Also, all the extra work my self-hosting endeavors generate is "creep".
