   Getting ready to deploy the new switch and realized a major problem: it doesn't have a hostname yet.

   My general theme for switch hostnames is hash algorithms although I've expanded a bit due to exhausting the common ones so I'm using MACs etc as namesakes too.

   My current fleet is keccak, blake, skein, poly1305, and ethash. All of the SHA/MD algorithms are previously used.
