@danielle @mwt Gets easier when you choose a namespace: Currently Coffe-Drinks (Latte, Cappuchino,..) for work-related, Slackwyrm Characters for Private Systems

@wonko @mwt I ran out of not-awful laptop names in my old naming scheme 😬

@wonko @danielle At work I simply use names based on the function or type/ manufactor of the system, at home I go with (mostly lesser known) places of middleearth. Making it a hard time is trying to reflect the function of the system somehow in the choosen name.

@danielle I was supposed to set up a VM at work as a backup computer if my workstation was offline, and it took…much longer than I want to admit before I actually got it set up, since every time I tried I got stuck at picking a hostname.
