Me too on the periodic table names, but with a bit of creativity related to the machine too:
- Helium - my Surface 3, because it's light
- Lead - my heavy Linux laptop
- Lithium - the Mac Mini I bought to keep from going crazy using a decade old Macbook Pro for iOS development
- Caesium - my Dell "workstation" Windows laptop, because I bought it to save time (compared to running Windows + Visual Studio in a VM)
- Uranium and Thorium - the beefy Xeon workstations that run a bunch of VMs and things - named because they put out so much heat that they might be radioactive
- hashhar 9y agoIt's quite funny that we share the host names Helium and Caesium. My Linux machines are radioactive because I tinker with them a lot and am bound to reinstall every few months.
- tonyarkles 9y agoHeh, yeah, there's that too...
