Alas I used to. I have a Mac Mini I bought specifically to do cross platform development, mostly of virtual world stuff. A fellow developer used remote desktop to that Mac, to develop and test his bits of the software. Until a few months ago I had fibre to the bedroom, my own custom built router, enough IPv6 for every ant within two blocks, and permission from my ISP to run servers. So I just punched the correct sized holes in the firewall, and it all worked. I had to move, the owners of the building tossed us all out so they could knock it down to build a luxury mansion for them to live in. So now I have ADSL2+ shared to half a dozen units via WiFi that I have no control over, and the new ISP doesn't do IPv6 or allow servers. Luckily my fellow developer bought his own Mac before the move. I could bounce a ssh port through my European server, that I always have my own ssh session open to. A bit clunky, and no bandwidth guarantees if every one else in the building is watching Netflix that evening / weekend. The other problem, we are in the middle of an "extreme heatwave" right now. I turn my Mac off when it gets above 32 C, which it will more often than not for the next week. It got over 34 C today, still 34 inside my home. I just got home, I should open the window. My main Linux desktop I built specifically for these sorts of conditions, I don't have to turn it off when it gets hot.
