Back when I was a sysadmin at a university CS department, we always picked namespaces for machines---everything in a given namespace had related names and were identical (or nearly identical) machines. If someone mentioned toque or glenfiddich, you could tell what lab they were in and what kind of machine they were.
I always wanted to use 'Starships from Iain M. Banks' science fiction', which is why no one ever listened to me.
For personal machines, I have been using adjectives that start with 'i'.
- vermilingua 6y agoI’ve been using Culture ship names for my personal machines for nearly as long as I’ve been naming machines. Wikipedia’s decision to delete the list was utterly ridiculous, thankfully they all made it over to the fandom wiki. Unfortunately they’re now a finite resource, RIP.
