For minor situation i suggest to create TOX client in the server: * run the TOX client as service * create the "parabola" user * create the "parabola" group from the "parabola" user * permits all Parabola hackers to access the "parabola" group, due it's permits to use it as conferences * and optional i suggest to create pbot-like script in the "parabola" user, it's useful
