Computer nerds of fedi, I need help!
For close to 20 years, all of my personal computers and IT infrastructure equipment have been named after cryptosystems (roughly speaking hashes for routers/switches, and block ciphers and public key algorithms for endpoints). I've used names ranging from Rijndael to Poly1305 to KYBER to Ethash to FIREFLY.
My wife is an artist, so all of hers have been named after artists (her current office PC is DAVINCI).
But we just got our first family laptop that's not dedicated to either of us. Are there any cryptosystems named after artists I can use as a namesake? Even if there is, I'm probably out of luck when it comes to replacing this box. So maybe I should start an entirely new namespace for family boxen? I do have other namespaces already (e.g. thin clients and lab infrastructure are supervillains, file servers are famous libraries, VM servers are prisons)
