The naming scheme of systems in the hackspace (hostname) is "people involved in computing" [1] [2]. This includes pioneers in similar relevant fields. Please note that pronunciation and spelling difficulties may rule out names like Dijkstra, Kay and Hoare.
Old names
Names used on systems no longer in use. These can be recycled with care after a sensible period of time.
- Lovelace (Workstation for Makerbot)
- Flowers (Media PC)
- Difference - Public Terminal
- Shannon (IRC Terminal)
- Capek Lobby display
Current names
machines should be available as hostname.lan.hackspace.org.uk from inside the space (just hostname should work). some machines are available from the outside as hostname.hack.rs or hostname.london.hackspace.org.uk
Off-site Servers
- Turing Bitfolk VM - sensitive public services (membership DB, website, LDAP), UK Hackspace Foundation web site
- Church DigitalOcean droplet - new machine for sensitive public services
- Knuth DigitalOcean droplet - less-sensitive public services (wiki)
Infrastructure
- adminstuff a poorly but accurately named server for admin "stuff"
- Babbage general purpose server in the space, moribund
- Bell Asterisk IP Telephony Server
- Bruce Network CCTV Server
- Booch emoncms power monitoring raspberry pi thing [3]
- Boole main router, dhcp, dns, ntp, syslog etc. [4]
- Colin sort of fileserver, was netbootyboxxy [5]
- Denning network services machine (ldap/spacenet, netboot, zoneminder) (was boole) [6].
- Gill environment monitoring Raspberry Pi [7]
- Hopper vending machine
- Hamming runs the board above the frontdoor and ?sixteen and the big clock. [8]
- Lamarr hypervisor for VMs
- Wilkes front doorbot (Like Perlman) [9]
- Perlman back doorbot (like Wilkes) [10]
- Dennis - Acnode debuging box
PCs/Laptops/Printers
- Asimov small pc used for talking to robots [11].
- Torvalds new 3D Printing Machine
- Bowyer another 3D printing machine
- Marconi spare laptop 1, needs wireless drivers installing [12]
- Turk guest laptop
- Postel the SGI O2
- Joy Laser Cutter, replacement for Patel/Laz0rz
- Lorentz Dell laptop
- Tesla public workstation, replacement for Lovelace
- Caxton HP Laserjet 2200D Printer
See Laboratory 24/Network for details on these machines.
Potential new machines currently under discussion
- Borg (Anita Borg) - replacement for babbage and vm server
- Zeus (Konrad Zuse) - 64 core, 512Gb RAM compute server.
