100.17.33.142 is an unconfigured IP address on the web server Nareau at LoveWebWiz.Biz.
All the web servers here are named for spiders from mythology or fiction. Nareau is a spider deity in the mythology of the Gilbert Islands (Kiribati).
I've done this for DNS glue records, but LoveWebWiz.Biz has many aliases, sorted by TLD: LoveWebWiz.Com, LWWz.Info, LWW.Me, LWW.Name, LWWiz.Net, LWWz.Org, and LWWz.US. This sort of thing hugely proliferates SSL certificates (yay, Let's Encrypt) and IPv6 addresses. At $2.50 each per month, IPv4 addresses are precious, and there is lots of overloading.
Other web server names we have used include:
I had used Spidey, at first, but I prefer that each server name begin a unique first letter for an abbreviated synonym domain name, and Shelob won. This strategy also eliminates conflicting names like Ungoliant, or Boris from The Who. PeterParker could be used for Spidey, I suppose, but it lacks a certain je ne sais quoi. Possibly Webhead or Webslinger?
These are hardly the only possibilities, but I haven't needed more servers yet. Just for grins, I asked the AI at the Google search engine. It suggested:
So as you can see, there is no shortage of names. However, not shown here, this must also interleave with different naming schemes, such as butlers for file servers, or other types of servers like firewalls, minecraft servers, music servers (that's a project to control SSL consoles, named Ludwig), name servers, printers, and so forth.
For the most part I have added functions to the web servers rather than dedicating computers by function, but pfSense needs its own box, and failover wants two. Only the Access Point (5 wireless SSIDs, yay VLANs), file server (running macOS), firewall, microchip PIC32MZEF development kit, printer (Lexmark), Roku, and the UPSs are dedicated, non-Mac-mini servers now.
Not everything can be a server. The clients are the AppleTVs, iPads, iPhones, light bulbs, laptops (macOS), VoIP phones, and workstations (macOS). Not everything in this place has to be smart. (Clue: doing Apple development work here. There's too much to keep track of sometimes.)
Nareau is also a 2012 Mac mini running Debian 12 (Bookworm, 2023). Soon to be Debian 13 (Trixie, 2025); it's a pain, but staying current beats software archaeology when maintaining older releases. It will be a while yet before Debian 14 (Forkie) is released, maybe 2027.
Speaking of archaeology, I had to upgrade from Debian 11 (Bullseye, 2021) recently to get a newer C library for the Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server (C++, not Java) to support my grandson. I switched to this lineage with Debian 3.1 (Sarge, 2005); Debian does not name minor releases anymore. Previously I had used a different Linux distribution, but that's lost in the mists of memory now.
For a long while, I was running older Mac minis, ending with Debian 7 (Wheezy, 2013) and the newer 2012 Mac minis ran Debian 8 (Jessie, 2015). A lot changed between Jessie and Bullseye! Migrating services from the old servers was such a pain, but the recent threat environment makes it necessary, and consecutive updates ought to be less stressful. Also, less forgetting when there are so many years between updates.
Expanding the ESP from 200 MB to 2 GB between Bookworm and Trixie required completely reformatting. To be fair, it was probably getting to be time to replace the SSDs anyway. Why is it that so many software updates feel gratuitous? Who asked for systemd? Not me.
I got an extra portion of stress when an 8-hour power failure in October 2025 (thanks, National Grid) wiped out the predecessor of this server, Mosag. It had had 1400 days of continuous uptime (!), but the UPS was only good for 4 hours. When it tried to come up after, the SSD would not boot. Continuous operating system updates mean that such long periods of uptime will not recur, but I was impressed with Debian's stability. And the Mac minis.
The Debian release naming strategy is taken from the movie Toy Story. Themed naming is at least amusing. Computer wranglers need some levity.
