The word 'server' is used for too many things in computers.

Because there is a server where my server is running my server.

@inmysocks sometimes I remember to say stuff like "host" and "server process" but not always

@aeonofdiscord I need to do that more, Felicity is taking some online computer science courses and I keep catching myself saying things that someone experienced would understand from context but she doesn't have the experience yet so talking about a python server running on her server just confuses her.

Words are hard
