Hostname is a computer's name in a network. Also, a computer's name.
I give my computers unique hostnames and they are based on locations from The Wheel of Time.
I name proper computers without fail.
tarvalon is an all-in-one PC. I had it since 2016 and went through a lot with it. For the first year of university, I used to use when I was back at home, but then gave it to my mother.
there was salidar
caemlyn is my Macbook Air 13 with M1. This was my main computer since 2020 until 2025 or 2026. It came with Mac OS Big Sur. Sadly, one cannot install Mojave instead.

With servers, I think I never named my first VPS. Internally I call “les arbres” or “the old server”.
emondsfield (нередко называемая апельсинкой) — Orange π Lite, которую я использовал в 2020 и 2021 в локальной сети для хостинга Киберрахили. Там ещё бегал Gogs какой-нибудь, которым я не пользовался, и бот для Discord.
manetheren is a virtual private server (VPS) I started bringing up at the beginning of 2024. My older server which doesn't have such a nice name is dated now. In the spirit of the Japanese tradition of rebuilding the house every few years, I'm not just upgrading the old server, I'm making a new one instead. In the process of migrating, I'll ensure better backing up, reliability and learn something new.
I fail to name my phones, despite changing them so rarely. I guess that's because I don't think of them much. One of them was Rhuiddean.
I also try to name the notion of a movable data storage Stedding, but unsure yet what it is. It used to be a user on Manetheren, but not anymore.
