And each active network interface will have a different hostname, just as it 
has a different IP address. So I might simultaneously be “jens.foocorp.com” on 
Ethernet where I have a static address, and “guest-e3f6.wifi.foocorp.com” on 
the public WiFi network.

Getting a hostname for the computer you’re on is not usually very useful.
