What shell do you use?
What do you use for your hostname, why and do you have a naming convention for your machines?
What's your goto username and how did you get/choose it?

Recently migrated my 3 machines to fish, quite nice to use. I still use bash for muh POSIX or scripting.
Bash because I'm comfortable with it and don't need the zsh awesome features.
>username
A variant of my first name.
>hostname
Mac is my scrawny alpha cats name. tiger.
Debian is my cuddly fat cats name. mia.
I use Windows desktop so PowerShell there.
All the servers I admin are Windows and FreeBSD so again PowerShell and TCSH on FreeBSD. No naming convention, they are just $OWNER_$BOXNUM
Fish
My first name
PC: fiction spaceships. Servers: fruits in alphabetical order.

I ranked my machines with Tsukihime's personages. As Hisui is my favorite, it's my laptop hostname.
Otherwise I use zsh cause it's zsh and an old nickname as username.

3 letter username.
Bash. I use bash because its the same everywhere.
My hostname is dogfort. dogcar and wetdog have also been used. I just like dogs I guess. Typically I think it's best to just not stress over hostnames. Have replacements for servers use hostnames that are related, but otherwise just have fun with it and don't make it something retardedly specific that only you and 4 other nerds understand. Disney characters. Planets in our solar system. Last name of Presidents. Basketball players.
My username is my last name.

I switch between using a shell I made and bash. I just use my name and other boring shit for naming.

hey now lad solarized is nice and i am obligated to defend zsh because of my love for it's autocorrection of all things
- Bash, because it werks
- starling: I just open a encyclopedia of birds on a random page and use a name I like. Until recently I just called it the name of the operating system.
- philip. Because it is my name. Seriously, why should I make weird names up?
Bash

Don't hate on solarized. I just made a solarized widget for OS X and iTunes.

depends on what the machine is

>goto username
Fish, because it used to be my nickname at school. Started as a bullying thing, but eventually I kind of stood up to the name and took it and now everyone likes it, including myself.
Terminology
>>51754137
Shell: Bash
Hostnames: A (rather unoriginal) mix of greek and roman gods, depending on their main function. I also use planets, both real and fictional.
Username: usually 'Zeus' as the main admin account and a nickname I've had for the past 43 years as the main user account.

The hostname for this laptop, 'mare' is the opposite of my other laptop's name, 'mici'. Romanianfags will get it.
>>51756989
By the way, [cmd]-[shift]-4 and then the space bar will give you a camera icon you can take a screenshot of a particular window (complete with its dropshadow) all nicely without any background nonsense.
See >>51757540
>>51757334
Any source on that gif? It's pretty cute.
>>51754137
I'm a lazy fuck.
shell is bash because it's default (when I had an old iBook running OSX 10.1, I used tcsh because it was default, although I eventually switched to bash and then at some point I remember OSX switching to bash)
hostname is n1k@n1k-[whatever the machine is]
so my hostname'll be n1k-air or n1k-craptop or n1k-pi or something, occasionally the OS name will be there (so n1k-windows or n1k-xubuntu or some shit)
and n1k is just a shortened form of my usual username
>What shell do you use?
bash
>What do you use for your hostname, why and do you have a naming convention for your machines?
no naming convention. I use darkstar for my hostname.
>What's your goto username and how did you get/choose it?
my name, because it's fucking convenient.
>>51757577
Namiuchigiwa
>>51757602
.. but I do plan on changing for zsh after I finish installing Xorg in my new Gentoo install, along with changing darkstar to something more creative.
>>51754137
Shell: zsh w/ oh-my-zsh
Hostname: I'm lazy as shit so whatever name that appears in the part of installation where you choose one
Username: My first name. No one else is going to use my laptop.

Bash for scripts
>What do you use for your hostname, why and do you have a naming convention for your machines?
My laptop's hostname is laptop, my dekstop's is dekstop and my OrangePi's is OrangePi
I am not a creative man
>What's your goto username and how did you get/choose it?

I've also recently discovered this : http://hombremaledicto.deviantart.com/art/Oh-for-the-love-of-spam-536825605. I unfortunately fail to build it.
It's not related to my tty emulator, but still worth giving it a try.
Bash
I name my machines after radiotelescopes.
My workstation is VLA (very large array), my homeserver is Arecibo, my beaglebone black is VSA (very small array)
my first name
>>51757429
terminology is an emulator not the shell you wog
>>51754137
bash because it's there by default and i don't see why i should switch to anything else
hostname is either the domain name or a part of the domain name (like foo instead of foo.org) or a description like homeserver
user name is either my first name or a nick name i got from a TV show
>>51758026

...I may or may not have that faved.
POWERshell
-I use bash like a normal person
-Hostname based on fictional locations from my favourite shows
-username is mainly after a character from my favourite shows/movies
bash, because comfy
t410, because ThinkPad T410
lst, because initials
I like the autocompletion features of zsh, but I generally just use bash for scripting.
>>51758111
>you can't hide the macfag inside
I was in a train once, pretty hungry, with the smells of the McDonalds bag of two travelers. I was sad there weren't McDonalds then, just to tell my brain it's indeed disgusting.
It's the same for MacBooks, I just want one to tell my brain it's pure shit, then give it to some liberal-arts graduate.
I will always run free software unless I get a serious brain damage, but I'd like my mother to use an iMac rather than Windows 10 for the record. And I don't think there is anything wrong with installing an open-source Mac OS X clone on Archlinux so I can give it a try.

ksh because it's the default on OpenBSD
I choose planets from the Solar System
And my name
>>51758653
If I ever needed to use a macbook I'd be damn sure to cover up that apple logo with something and throw Arch or Gentoo on it with a UI that's utterly incomprehensible for most people (like i3). If I gotta be a hipster I'll take it to the extreme.
>>51758826
i3 it way too decipherable. Use pure tty.
>>51758866
I'd rather go for xterm without window manager then. Or just something extremely basic - moving, resizing, that's it.
If anyone that has a clue about these things sees me running Arch in pure text they'll just assume I broke my Xorg.conf...
>>51757721
As well as Alderaan and ZaHaDum, yes.
>>51754137
Why should I change from bash?

Although technically I don't think Gallifry belongs on that list any more.

Heh, depends on who you ask.
I'm a fag for using it, but the autocomplete is the closest i'll get to having sex

Topkek even I use zsh. I don't know what difference does it do to my mac terminal. But I just installed coz I want people to see me as a geek .
