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.  Apple doesn't build for
the tropics.
