How do y’all decide #hostnames for various devices and servers, especially when you have a lot of things that needs hostnames? My current naming scheme is running out of nice hostnames, so I’m considering moving to various city names as my hostnames, but I’m curious how other people assign them.

« If I asked you what was #DNS you'd probably say "Oh! #DNS is the Domain Name Service, it allows us to remember #hostnames like google.com instead of having to remember #IP addresses addresses like 173.194.219.26"

[…] Except that's the stupidest answer in the world. […] All the major transport protocols had name resolution before #DNS.

[…] #DNS is about #power. #DNS is about #stateless and #HierarchicalMajesty going on across the #Internet without having a central point of #failure. »
