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?

London Underground themed. Where possible the station name somewhat reflects the purpose of the machine. Some names are shortened.

  • Bank: NAS server
  • Barbican: Jellyfin server
  • Paddington: Pi-hole
  • Piccadilly: Raspberry pi
  • Heathrow: Proxy manager

Wireless access points named as DLR stations.

Network hardware named as Underground lines.

Station names can be chosen based on their zone to indicate physical location. Zone 1 in the house etc.
