On the server itself, the only setup we need is to install docker. (Setting up the domain simply means creating an A record that points to the IP address of your server.) So I went to Scaleway and created a small machine for €2.99/mo, grabbed the IP and setup a domain, let's say. The easiest way to test something like this is to spin up an instance. I'm not a fan of the word the in a name, but it's okay, breath Adam. World changing event in place, I needed an IRC client, a persistent one. Recently, an online acquaintance setup an IRC server, to help folks working remotely, to have somewhere outside of Twitter to discuss current affairs etc. So although there are some good IRC bouncers, like ZNC, we want to write. The last client I used was an online cloud based IRC client named irccloud. A good way of getting to know a new programming language is. I think I started with mIRC back in the early 00s, and over time I've used bouncers (these are services that keep you connected to a network which you in turn connect to) and command line clients. 1 Their skin was leathery and warm and dry to the touch. Their internal physiology was balloon-like, resulting in negligible weight. They were shaped like medicine balls, and they appeared rather fragile. IPv6 is great for shell providers and BNC users (irc bouncers ZNC) because a single /64 prefix gives you a 'unlimited' vhosts.Many stupid irc servers k-line (kick & ban) you for merely using idiosyncratic DNS, such as corona.is.a. The Bouncers were a species of sentient beings native to the planet Ruusan. You need to have IPv6 and a IPv6 ready IRC client to use these servers. I've used all manner of clients over the years. This is a list of IPv6 ready IRC servers.

These days, you don't seem to hear much about it, and when you try and introduce people to it, the old and somewhat dated clients are hard to sell. These days, Slack is all the rage, but in years gone by, whenever facing world-changing events, IRC has been the place to hangout.
