I would have trouble with audio. People may interrupt me in the middle
of an audio session, or listen to what I say. I do not have any idea how
this is done in other households, here it is easy to hear what I say from
another room and even my neighbour hears every word that I say easily.
Maybe I just need a better mic - I don't know.

I'm on libera, oftc, efnet, and about 20 other networks. Joining a new one would 
not be a problem for me and I would be happy to help to host an ircd for linuxAU
if this is desired.

VM is ok, I just didn't use it before properly. I have virtualbox installed.
