Ask HN: How do y’all manage your computer hostnames?

I’ve been using a particular hostname scheme for a while now, but it isn’t really cutting it, as I’m running out of good hostnames. I like the idea of very friendly hostnames (a clean name I can easily use to identify a certain system), but part of me wants to be a little more descriptive, especially since I have a lot of devices that I use on a regular basis and that are identified on things like GitHub and Tailscale via their hostname. I’m curious about how other people manage (or don’t manage) the hostnames for their computers and servers.
