Oh god

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.

Hostnames can be up to 64 characters long in Linux.

But should they?

^No

I was scrolling to find something good like this

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 PS1 env var and using (in case of bash) \H instead of \h.

That’s the most up votes I’ve seen on a Lemmy post

oh look, another of Elon Musk’s weirdly named children

This is by far the most evil one, I love it.

Here I was hoping that if you took the UTF-8 representation in bytes and decoded it as ASCII, you would get something interesting. But no, just Unicode characters. Almost interesting is that none of the bytes are valid ASCII characters (< 128), which you might expect for the first byte of every UTF-8 codepoint due to backwards compatibility for ASCII encoding, but perhaps not for the subsequent bytes that comprise the rest of the grapheme.

I’m finally starting to understand the appeal of numerology.
