Also, can somebody explain this to sysadmins when it comes to naming computers?
I mean programmers can have some weird naming conventions, but I've never met an adult professional programmer who named all his variables after planets or Harry Potter characters or just called everything stuff like ADMUTIL6 or PBLAB03T1 or PBPCD1602.
Pros use computer names like
Server
newerserver
newnewerserver
latestserver
Newlatestserver
My home lab took that personally, how dare
My SSID's are still listed as Testnet and Testnet5 after years. Had to test something at one point, it worked and never cared to go back and update things. 🤷♂️
fixed it for you :) acronyms with full words in the middle of them are not acronyms
You are correct, however 5 is actually short for 5725 ...
