After nuking my old install, I am in need of a hostname. Top comment chooses it.
lemmy.made.me.look.at.this.each.time.i.open.a.terminalHostnames can be up to 64 characters long in Linux.
Oh god
This seems to be the most popular one, though I can’t use it in the way its written here, because it will fuck up DNS. I’ll substitute the dots with dashes and then it should work.
Post a proof screnshot please
I appreciate you sticking to your word, but this is just stupid. Petition to change it to something sane
I’m pretty sure you can use dots in record data. I know you can use them in zone names.

I was scrolling to find something good like this
Most shells usually default to a truncated version of the hostname that only uses the hostname up to the first dot. Of course one can change that by setting the
PS1env var and using (in case of bash)\Hinstead of\h.I tried with emojiea and it worked. what would break it though?
edit: nvm something broke after a reboot. neofetch reports the hostname as ‘archlinux’ instead of whatever is inside /etc/hostname. matlab drive connector reset and initializer dialog poped up which it did not do before.

I hope all your stuff supports Unicode.
oh look, another of Elon Musk’s weirdly named children
Needs to either visually or phonetically have an x or x like symbol though
This is by far the most evil one, I love it.
Here I was hoping that if you took the UTF-8 representation in bytes and decoded it as ASCII, you would get something interesting. But no, just Unicode characters. Almost interesting is that none of the bytes are valid ASCII characters (< 128), which you might expect for the first byte of every UTF-8 codepoint due to backwards compatibility for ASCII encoding, but perhaps not for the subsequent bytes that comprise the rest of the grapheme.
I’m finally starting to understand the appeal of numerology.

I find this answer risible

With a username like this, I’d give all my hosts and servers moon names. Like the moons of Jupiter (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto).
This is genius! Why didn’t I think if that before?
Alternately: PILF.
Most people here suggested meme names, but that’s actually a really great idea! And the names are pretty beautiful on top of that. I hope OP chooses this despite it being far from the top comment.
I’ll use this in the future! I really like the idea!

I’ve gone for colors for my servers and omelette ingredients for my VMs
Uuuuh, weird, I love it!
This made me go down a rabbit hole of server names and I now have a super long list of names from mostly Greek mythology that I’m going to use next time I have a chance
