People might also not know Mastodon is not the only type of social media sites that interact here.
There is also:
@pixelfed (Like Instagram)
Peertube (Like YouTube)
(You can see how they look in the pictures in the order that they are mentioned)
You can find more decentralized social media platforms at https://fediverse.party/

Q: If you, like me, make your income via the internet (not just through something like ecommerce or Patreon...but like a day job that is internet related), and the internet were to go away tomorrow, what other skills do you have to make a living?
I don't know if I have any, and that disappoints me.

I recently released a PHP package that makes executing commands over SSH super simple. You can also upload/download files via SCP.
Don't use technologies just because you can. Use them if they are needed.
Professional projects should aim little higher than the minimum viable product level. If you're doing much more, you're probably over engineering the solution.

Professional developers everywhere:
Simplify your stuff. Do not unnecessarily use new and shiny technology, when the tried and tested works fine.

Just call $request->country().

It's been estimated that today's #Cloudflare outage is effecting about 10% of all websites world-wide.
If a lot of your online world is down right now, your word and research topic for the day is #decentralization
