[Question] What are your computers named? (lemmy.ml)

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?

crispy (big server) - was suggested to me, no special meaning
invader (desktop PC) - no special meaning
mulex-copan (MacBook) - named after the coffee machine in the game INFRA
polaris (mail server VPS) - reference to the game Control
spike (VPS) - no special meaning (though I was probably thinking of the coronavirus spike protein)
turris (router) - just the router brand which sounds cool so I kept the hostname
vineta (NAS) - named after the planet from the game SIGNALIS
whiprock (phone) - named after the island from the game INFRA

the names with no special meaning are generally older while the game references are generally newer :P
