Mimicing a thread I saw elsewhere.

I generally use this list to name my machines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mythological_objects

For my main server I use loeding: a modified version of Lædingr, a chain forged by Thor to bind and were broken by Fenrir. (Norse Mythology)

You're going to kick yourself in a moment..

What is my name?

Edit: it seems that names are not always visible on Lemmy. If you're playing at home, my name is Onno.

    You should know that not all clients display your display name, some only show your username@instance.

    It's not apparent to everyone that your name is Onno.

    Thank you, that's not something I knew, the three clients I've used show both the account and the name.

    Edit: This is weird, my current client (Connect) shows the name, but only for my account, not for any other account.
