After nuking my old install, I am in need of a hostname. Top comment chooses it.

Hostnames 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.
I appreciate you sticking to your word, but this is just stupid. Petition to change it to something sane
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 PS1
env var and using (in case of bash) \H
instead 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).
Most people here suggested meme names, but that's actually a really great idea! And the names are pretty beautiful on top of that. I hope OP chooses this despite it being far from the top comment.
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
May I recommend the following, from the renown French physician, Joseph-Ignace Guillotin?

I wonder, what characters are allowed? $0
would be interesting, or even the fork-bomb classic.
My desktop is named Gertrude :) it wasn't until later I noticed the case has a G on it (brand thing). It was meant to be.
