I used to have one available for a fellow developer on another project. 
He eventually bought his own Mac.  Then the owners of the place I was
renting kicked us all out so they could tear it down and build a huge
ugly mansion for themselves.  New place I moved to has shared WiFi, and
the owner there didn't want me to get my own Internet.  This place was
sold a couple of months ago, and the new owner is happy for me to get my
own Internet.  But there's been technical issues with doing that which I
wont go into, so not done that yet.  Also waiting on a few other shoes to
drop that might kick my arse, before I go any further with that.

On the other hand, it's a 2011 Mac Mini, which wont be getting any OS
updates, coz it's EOL, and I'm not buying a new one, as sexy as these new
M1 and M2 things look from a tech perspective.  So likely entirely
useless to you anyway.
