What is the proper terminology to refer to my home pubnix?
I have been just I am on "the institute" for now. Is it more proper to
say tilde.institute? I have seen people also abbrieviating "tilde." to "~."
I find calling it "the institute" sounds really cool but ~institute is
probably shorter.

I use ~inst, ~institute in the Tildeverse or other contexts where I'm
certain that they'll understand it.
In other contexts it depends. Often just mentioning the Tildeverse
without naming a certain node is enough, sometimes it just needs some
more words.

I like referring to it as "The Institute" due to the Fallout reference.

I always call it ~.institute, but then again, I *only* talk about it
from within the tildeverse. I suppose in other contexts I wouldn't call
it that, but I don't think I'd even say tilde.institute, I think I'd
just refer to it as ``The public Unix server I go to.'' If anyone ever
cared about that statement, then I'd explain the tildeverse and what
The Institute is.
