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

I named a raspi frank
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.

Oh god
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.
Hostnames can be up to 64 characters long in Linux.
But should they?
^No
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
PS1env var and using (in case of bash)\Hinstead of\h.I was scrolling to find something good like this
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
I’m pretty sure you can use dots in record data. I know you can use them in zone names.
