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

The robot vacuum cleaner is GLaDOS.

Damnit, I’m boring af. Machines are named by their model for laptops/consumer devices and buy their CPU for home built stuff.

Except for Crimson-Binome.local 🏴‍☠️
