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!

Use Lua, it uses one-based arrays. This is nice for a few reasons:

  • last element is array[length]
  • zero can be reserved for the type (especially nice for representing XML: 0 = node name, 1-N = children, named table entries = attributes)
  • very rarely see + 1 and - 1 in my code

It feels wrong coming from C, but it's actually really nice, especially since the reasons C does it don't apply (i.e. index is just a memory offset).
