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?

My old desktop, now relegated to torrent/fileshare duty, is named USELESS-BRICK (you can guess why)

My brand new desktop is named SPEEDY-BRICK (you can also guess why)

The Rpi3 and Orange Pi 5 I use for small compute tasks, a printer server, random fucking around, etc are TINY-BRICK-1 and TINY-BRICK-2, respectively.

The random ATX server board that I used to use before the motherboard died was FlatBoard, because it didn't have a case, just a small steel backframe I welded up for it.
