  1. 🚀 Oh wow, another tech blogger convinced they're the first to discover DNS servers 🌐. Prepare to be amazed as a 'radical optimist' embarks on a riveting 16-minute odyssey to... translate hostnames! 🙄 Spoiler: it's still DNS.

  5. What are you devices (laptops, phones, servers, etc.) named after? My theme is greek mythology: gods, heros and monsters.
    My PiHole is named after argus, the all-seeing giant. My laptop that I often took on journeys is named odysseus. The home server is named herakles, because of all the different tasks it fulfils.

    I also heard of someone using place names of famous disasters like Chernobyl, Hindenburg or Deepwater Horizion.

    What‘s your theme?

    Boosts appreciated.

  10. So if you want to properly change your Mac’s hostname without macOS mollycoddling you and changing it back, use:

    sudo scutil --set HostName <hostname>

    (Not hostname --set <hostname>).

    *smh*

    #macOS #hostname #change #dev

  15. I had a presentation about registering on , when is used. Is there any attempt to register name to local server, when I am on IPv6 only network? I think dynamic update over TCP would be similar to based registration Dnsmasq does automatically. Is there any system attempting it already?

  25. Random question. I'm planning to buy a new laptop for uni, since I've just broken my ten-year-old MacBook. I have decided on a ThinkPad T450, but I need some help deciding on the hostname.

    On one hand, since it's a ThinkPad, I could call it Amethyst-II (my T400 is called Amethyst).

    On the other hand, since it's replacing my MacBook, I could call it Pearl-III (the MacBook was called Pearl-II, and my first MacBook was just called Pearl).

    What do you think?

  30. @chunked The unexpected #hostname change seems to be linked to the "private Wi-Fi" option (spoofing the MAC address, for privacy) which the #Sequoia upgrade enabled (maybe it's new in this version). Mine was showing as Macmini on the network – and even in Terminal – while System Settings still showed the name I'd previously set. Turning off "Private Wi-Fi address" changed it back.

  35. @kde a less experienced Linux user has just pointed out to me that there is no GUI in KDE for setting a system hostname? Or if there is we can't find it.

    I've always just used hostnamectl, which is fine. But seems like an oversight!
