My old company used Greek and Roman gods and heroes. Hermes01 was the mail server, for example (because Hermes was the messenger of the gods). I don’t remember all of them, but we had demeter (esx clusters), zeus (file servers iirc), Ares (backup servers), and other server names like that.

WagnasT , to linux in Distro suggestions?

Based on your needs any distro is probably fine. They’re pretty much all free, i don’t think you’ll find a better answer from internet randos than just booting from live usb and trying them out. I use arch btw.

lutillian , to selfhosted in What is your machine naming scheme?

Mine are named after mythical Asian creatures.

Phoenix, Kirin, Yuki-onna, Dragon, Kodama, etc etc

FrickAndMortar , to selfhosted in What is your machine naming scheme?

For work, two letters for the type of machine, two numbers for the location, three letters for the department, and two numbers for the device.

LT01MKT27 = laptop at HQ, in marketing, 27 is the unique ID
SV05EXC03 = server at remote office #5, running exchange, 03 is the unique ID

At home, goofy on-the-fly names!

It’s not frustrating if someone starts with linux without using windows once.

Preach!

Mine machines are all named after Final Fantasy Summons/Espers/Eidolons/Aeons/Primals.

My main proxmox node is Bahamut. I try to pick a suitable summon that matches the host but that doesn’t always work.

I simply know where the settings are on Windows. I can find almost all stuff in the settings, I can fiddle with the registry and I can do narrow searches if I do need to look something up. I also understand how and where programs on Windows save their files. On Linux I have only very little experience.

TechnologyClassroom ,

You may be accustomed to the process, but fixing issues in the registry is not intuitive. It is simple enough if you find a guide that tells you exactly which item you need to work on and exactly what the default is and what you need to change it to, but what if the guide isn’t exactly what you want?

In the GNU/Linux ecosystem, nearly every program has a config file. Sometimes each line has detailed comments in plain text around it you what the option does with examples of what it could be. If the documentation doesn’t exist, you can dig deeper and see what that option does in the source which is usually documented as well. Programming experience is not required to search for text and read comments. Such documentation is not equivalent in Windows.

PseudoSpock ,

There are Youtube videos, books, magazines, forums, chats… Not knowing how to use settings once, in a pinch? Sure. But forever staying that way towards it? That’s on you, not Linux or any other OS.

NotGeorge , to selfhosted in What is your machine naming scheme?

I name devices after Greek Gods / Goddesses. My main server is called Olympus.

I had painted an old Lenovo desktop blue to use as a home server. Named it blueberry. Recently upgraded servers using a black case. Named it blackberry.

CommunityLinkFixer Bot , to android in Android Community Reopening Announcement

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !android.

Domestic no Kanojo is an anime that people describe as rubbish. Maybe it is, depending on where you’re coming from, but I was invested in it, and so decided to honour the anime/manga by naming my servers “Hina Tachibana”, “Natsuo Fujii”, “Rui Tachibana” and “Miu Ashihara”.

little_cow , (edited ) to fediverse in Viewing lemmy posts by all tends to be dominated by a few communities

I like to use “Hot” instead of active as it seems to fetch posts from a more diverse set of communities

I’ve also heard that view by new comments is solid as well

RedstoneValley ,

Btw, It’s already possible to block all bot posts

little_cow ,

Ohhh is that what unchecking the “show bot account” does I thought it removed the badge indicating a user was a bot account. Thanks!

ColonelSanders ,

This you? lemmy.fmhy.ml/comment/1180416 it’s a direct copy/paste of that comment plus one sentence

little_cow ,

I’m really confused lol, that is not me I have this account and one on beehaw.

How strange I had a different comment but I edited it and it changed to that one …

spacedancer ,

Top from the past 6 or 12 hours works better than Hot IMO. It feels more like the traditional reddit front page.

little_cow ,

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll try that
