servers are named after NGE characters if they're personal, Unit-00 through Unit-02 if they're for work (Unit-00 is for experimentation with new shit).

Actually I realized this is the wrong thing to set as the hostname. The right way to do it is:

$ cat /etc/hostname 
blackfractal
$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 blackfractal.lan.wubthecaptain.eu blackfractal


Now I can use
hostname -f
to see the FQDN.

I guess my router will finally stop complaining about the hostname too.

Look who it is again, ID Heaven. I'm fed up with your shit faggot. The other day when you called me a newfag, yeah, haven't forgotten about that yet.
Fuck you I've been on here for months and probably get on here more than you anyways. Don't you know that you make yourself look like a newfag when you call others newfag?
Just because you learned how to hack your name and change it to "Heaven" does not give you the right to disrespect anyone at any time.
