Ha I like it. Yeah I skipped the underscore/hyphen for that reason.

Desktop: HAL9000

laptop: HALjr

Phone: HALnano

Then HALserver, HALprinter (octoprint), HALhome (home assistant) and so on... Big fan of Stanley Kubrick haha

Tried to get the hal9.ooo domain name but it was taken...

Edit: I use Dave as the username, so that in the terminal it is dave@hal9000, which just seems appropriate

Fuck I just got rid of my 2008 BW laser brother and bought a new one that hasn't arrived. Thanks for the warning, at least I will be able to set my firewall before I even connect it to my network

You just flipped that whole thing on its head pretty well... And also reminded me of one of two most cringiest times in my life where I misgendered someone. She worked at my local grocery shop and I had known her throughout her transition, but as an immigrant in Texas I was really keen on my "yes Ma'am" and " yes Sir" and I pulled out a "thank you sir" when visiting after a long time and she called me out on it as she should have... I felt like a dick, yet somehow did it again with a student of mine years later. I wish I had my wife's excuse (she comes from a language that doesn't have gendered pronouns and goes about her day confusedly dispensing he or shes in a totally random pattern 😂)

Damn, I had forgotten about Dan, but his advice is generally solid, so... Fart yourself into a domestic partnership!
