slow startup

[Keith Smiley]

I've seen this issue before on macOS. Specifically it happens if your 
hostname has a dot. Here's an example program showing how long this can 
take. https://gist.github.com/keith/86642ac3f695841b17906732c803fda3

I _believe_ I fixed this with:

`sudo scutil --set HostName name-without-dot`
