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

lemmy.made.me.look.at.this.each.time.i.open.a.terminalHostnames 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.
Post a proof screnshot please
I appreciate you sticking to your word, but this is just stupid. Petition to change it to something sane
Hostnames can be up to 64 characters long in Linux.
But should they?
^No
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.
Oh god

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).

I hope all your stuff supports Unicode.
Here I was hoping that if you took the UTF-8 representation in bytes and decoded it as ASCII, you would get something interesting. But no, just Unicode characters. Almost interesting is that none of the bytes are valid ASCII characters (< 128), which you might expect for the first byte of every UTF-8 codepoint due to backwards compatibility for ASCII encoding, but perhaps not for the subsequent bytes that comprise the rest of the grapheme.
I’m finally starting to understand the appeal of numerology.
