at the moment, the colloquial word for an external Scuttlebutt server is a "pub"

given the rethinking of pubs as a second device in %Gwqklkj0b2CBT5tPiz5170NWsPp3xiuLbOImEaG/e+4=.sha256, should we continue to use the term "pub" when referring to a uxer's cloud device?

what about "bot", or is that too vague?

I quite liked pub - I think it had links to the British concept of a “public house”. Though with the way we are imagining pubs will be used it feels less akin to this. So I get why it feels off.

Brainstorm:

node
device
public device
hosted device
facade
remote
remote device
avatar

More boat analogies:

buoy (I like this)
dock
pontoon
port
berth
anchor

:)

What’s nice about buoy is that you may put a buoy somehwhere - and it’s yours. But others can use it/interact with it.

It’s like a thing that’s yours that you leave in the ocean and others benefit from. In other words the network of bouys are mutually beneficially to all boats

for our code, i think i'm keen to use pub to refer to each uxer's server instance and hub to refer to the swarm (and provider services). we can always change later but i think these terms are good for meow.
