Name NONET's new VPS
Name NONET's new VPS
For increased security and privacy, NONET will be moving to a VPS in the near future. This means that we have to come up with a clever hostname - that is, a name by which the server will identify itself on the network. Once we've decided, the VPS will be named like "<hostname>.nightops.net".
I've gotten some ideas from people already which appear in the poll above. If you have new ideas, post in the thread and I'll add them to the poll (hostnames must be composed of lowercase alphanumeric characters, including hyphens). Vote for your favorite!

Re: Name NONET's new VPS
I like 'sanctuary', but for ease of remembrance I voted for 'nyx'.

Re: Name NONET's new VPS
Don't worry about having to remember it - you'll still be able to use just plain "nightops.net" as usual. Setting an inventive hostname is just for fun.
Re: Name NONET's new VPS
Well, I really do like the way "Sanctuary" sounds, and part of me feels like voting for my own suggestion is poor form.

Re: Name NONET's new VPS
I went with Sanctuary on this one. It just feels the most appropriate out of them all and I don't share Ghost's logic.

Night Ops Net is a sanctuary for people like us, and that's what the consensus seems to be so far.

Re: Name NONET's new VPS
I agree. Originally it was obviously a joking reference but I think it is really fitting.

I'll go in with the boys, Sanctuary.
I'll tell you a secret...The Gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

Looks like 'sanctuary' has it. Polls close in a few days.
