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. 🤷‍♂️

You are correct, however 5 is actually short for 5725 ...

I once worked in a company that named theirs servers server1, server2, server3, etc.

That atleast makes them (hopefully) chronological and easy to refer to.

but easy to mix up

Unfortunately no. The servers were set up when needed for whatever was needed. server2 was the AD, server1 had a business application running, server3 had backup and time tracking … it was a whole mess.

Edit: the the memories come back. Nothing was virtualized. server2 was an old Dell tower computer running Windows 2000 on the bare metal and server1 was manually installed Debian with kernel 2.6.*something*.
