After nuking my old install, I am in need of a hostname. Top comment chooses it.
lemmy.made.me.look.at.this.each.time.i.open.a.terminalHostnames can be up to 64 characters long in Linux.
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.

I appreciate you sticking to your word, but this is just stupid. Petition to change it to something sane
I’m pretty sure you can use dots in record data. I know you can use them in zone names.
I tried with emojiea and it worked. what would break it though?
edit: nvm something broke after a reboot. neofetch reports the hostname as ‘archlinux’ instead of whatever is inside /etc/hostname. matlab drive connector reset and initializer dialog poped up which it did not do before.
