    Culture ships.

    Limiting Factor and Cargo Cult are desktops.

    Empiricist and Sense amid Madness, Wit Amdist Folly are a NAS and NUC that runs everything I need

    Its a great variety of memorable names.

    (And even though Elon keeps naming things after them, he hasn’t fucking read the books.)

    I name everything after celestial objects. Stars, galaxies, constellations, and nebula are all good sources of names. Not the ones with the random number names, stuff like Andromeda and Sirius

    You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen. Comet, and Cupid, and Donner, and Blitzen…

    I went with a SciFi ship theme, my main server is VMS-HORIZON (Virtual Machine Ship). The VMs have ship component names like AUDIO-CORE (navidrome) and VISUAL-CORE (Immich).

    My Raspberry Pi is named ORBITER, like a orbiting shuttle/satellite, and the VM it has is called BEACON (for Gotify)

    I personally name my servers after Rain World iterators and creatures. I fear the day when I run out of names.
