Hahaha I started naming my things weird shit to throw people off but you took it to the next level, I’m definitely renaming my pixel too

I use a naming convention for my homelab stuff that is descriptive enough for future reference in case I don’t touch the machine in a while.
<organization or domain><server type><sequence>
so for example if you have a local domain you use for internal work and the name is Leet Hax my naming would look something like this
leethax_prd01, leethax_prd02, leethax_proxmox01, leethax_nextcloud01, leethax_plex01
you get the idea, in my network I don’t add the underscore but I figured for explanation sakes I would here. I’m sure without explaining what each server is, whether it’s a VM from proxmox or an actual machine, you know what they are when they show up on your router. I added the sequence numbering for future proofing my self hosted setup in case I get another machine in the future.
I name my personal devices after Nasa projects and launches and my wife, well her phone is just called iPhone 1, 2, 3 etc. so everything is easy to spot on my home network.
You know, as both an Apple fanboy and a repair advocate I was disgusted by their over affirmation of being carbon neutral like it’s a badge to be proud of when people KNOW they are just not friendly to repairing your shit easily.
I’m heavily locked into their ecosystem but they are starting to push their luck with me trying to push this bullshit.
