After nuking my old install, I am in need of a hostname. Top comment chooses it.
lemmy.made.me.look.at.this.each.time.i.open.a.terminalHostnames can be up to 64 characters long in Linux.
This seems to be the most popular one, though I can’t use it in the way its written here, because it will fuck up DNS. I’ll substitute the dots with dashes and then it should work.
Post a proof screnshot please
I appreciate you sticking to your word, but this is just stupid. Petition to change it to something sane
Oh god
Hostnames can be up to 64 characters long in Linux.
But should they?
^No
Most shells usually default to a truncated version of the hostname that only uses the hostname up to the first dot. Of course one can change that by setting the
PS1env var and using (in case of bash)\Hinstead of\h.I tried with emojiea and it worked. what would break it though?
edit: nvm something broke after a reboot. neofetch reports the hostname as ‘archlinux’ instead of whatever is inside /etc/hostname. matlab drive connector reset and initializer dialog poped up which it did not do before.

With a username like this, I’d give all my hosts and servers moon names. Like the moons of Jupiter (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto).
This is genius! Why didn’t I think if that before?
Alternately: PILF.

This made me go down a rabbit hole of server names and I now have a super long list of names from mostly Greek mythology that I’m going to use next time I have a chance
