"Tenacious" is pretty funny. I like it. But we still have some time.


Cheers,

They just came to mind when I saw the last 2 code names, because those 2 somehow escaped me. I really liked Restless Roadrunner.

Tenacious Tortoise - Rolls better off the tongue than turtle xD

Also its pretty funny cause tortoises are very tenacious if they follow something.

[tessus]

Funny, it was tortoise at first, but I thought that turtle is a more common term. But I agree, turtoise is better.

> I really liked Restless Roadrunner.

Thanks! We also had Crafty Coyote so that one was only natural ;)

A tortoise outlasts all other animals in the end, it will stay around for 80+ years and will always follow its goal in a straight line. xD

I hope "tortoise" will no more be considered. Because "Tortoise" is a very good GUI for version control - SVN, and surely  Git too.
Maybe, somebody has or will get opnsense git plugin working with TortoiseGit. Misunderstandings might occure in communication.

Leon would agree, but we know how that ended...

Doesn't it have to start with the x, as in r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z.?
Thought I saw a pattern, but might be wrong...
BTW, Hippos are very un-friendly...

So it would be Xenoglossic Xenacanthus? Being a firewall, Xenophobic would likely be most fitting, possibly despite or because of the amount of negative connotation surrounding that word ATM. After all, we really don't want strangers to muck around in our networks, that's what it's all about.

[vimage22]

So any critter that starts with the letter 'x' might be quite lethal, which I did not realize. But I did find this:
Xantus's hummingbird (Basilinna xantusii)

A full list:

I am partial to x-rays (stingrays). Quite majestic to see them in real life.

Completely agree, no negative connotation at all.

[drosophila]

Yes, I've seen these two-word names, but they don't function well for this purpose, and "X-rays" would be cheating IMO. ;)
