      Similar to my scheme:

      laptop = “laptop”
      nas = “nas”
      router = “router”

      Then if there are more than one in each category I use nas-0, nas-1, etc.

        I started with the 2D arcade game of course. Both 3D games (SpyHunter and SpyHunter: Nowhere to Run) are solid as well

          I’ve played the 2D very briefly, but it was before my time so I lack the nostalgia and interest. Seeing the car transform was freaking awesome at the time, so futuristic. I was a kid back then and obtaining all secondary objectives was legitimately hard, but provided replay value.

          I’d really like to see another, but I don’t know if whoever has the IP has any interest, or is even in business anymore.

    My first server was called xenon because I misread Xeon for Xenon but I decided to stick with it. My new server is called argon. For beefy servers I will now go with noble gases. Now that I think about it maybe I will use other elements in the future. Bismut sounds cool.

    I have only one cloud VM and called it firstborn. 🤷

    All my PCs get names I like Aveline, Elisabeth, Amanda, Amelie, Astrid, Eve…

    I have yet to decide on a naming scheme for mobile phones.

    Networking hardware gets descriptive names for their location and purpose.

    I used to just name it after the os running on it, but I’ve now switched to periodic elements. But to not be too predictable, I randomly choose one, e.g. osmium, then helium, then argon etc

    My tangible servers and clients have people’s names

    My system components VMs have mythology names.

    My non prod VMs have identifiable names like routeros, debiangui etc.

    Fun stuff are my smart vacuums, I give them old women names from different countries. My very first one was Consuela, thinking of Family Guy.

    As a huge fan of Star Wars content from before Disney got involved and poisoned it (notable exceptions of Rogue One, Andor, some of the animated shows, etc.), I utilize warship names from the Expanded Universe (now called “Legends”) - what I like to call True Star Wars.

    My main server is Chimaera. My backup server that also performs as an NVR is Lusankya. My separate mostly-NAS server away from my server rack is Admonitor.

    I have sci-fi themed names (not all Star Wars - two other franchises represented here, virtual kudos to those who can identify) for the storage pools too (using TrueNAS SCALE on all three servers):

    • Chimaera (Main Server)
      • Star-Forge (Apps/VM Pool)
      • Holocron (Data Pool)
    • Lusankya (Backup + NVR Server)
      • Shadow-Broker (Apps Pool)
      • Resurrection (Backup Pool)
      • Spynet (NVR Pool)
    • Admonitor (NAS Server)
      • Mount-Tantiss (Apps Pool)
      • Datacron (Data Pool)
