My main server is named Postulate (an idea that you assume for the sake of argument), my desktop is named Axiom (a proved postulate), and my backup server is named Corollary (an idea that follows from an axiom).
What are your computers named, and why?
i’m not good with names.
my server’s name is… server
Currently running

having read all these other comments, i’m now feeling like i should come up with a more creative naming scheme… for what it’s worth, my phone is named
bob.I use famous computer scientists. Torvalds, Kernighan, Ritchie, Woz (for the MacBook). My most recent one was bought in Hampton VA, so I named it kjohnson after Katherine Johnson (as seen in the movie Hidden Figures, she used to work at the NASA facility in Hampton).
I think it’s a good system, and I don’t think I’ll ever run out!
Previously by color/occupation.
Red Desktop, Music Workstation.
Been thinking themes more recently though. WolvesDen for my server, thinking of expanding on that some.
