Ok, some guy has a setup which works for him personally. Yet he decides to write a post about it titled "set up your remote office", advocating his view to others. It's like advocating sex, without sex education.

Sure, I might have pointed out that basically every one of his ideas is prone to failure. Aggressively. Or passionately. If you're planing to work remotely, you need to consider things like:

- uptime, SLA - redundancy (network, electricity, hardware, storage)

I'm not saying oh let's throw $10k and make a home datacenter with running costs at about $500/mo, but If I did, I'd gladly advocate it over an ISP-provided AP and educational low-end hardware. There's just a middle ground which is just as feasible and effective regarding cost & your time.

And I could go on. Years of remote work, and failures which are inevitable, have made me cautious. If you wanted a good remote work environment, you'd better come to me for suggestions than to use Ivan's "bragging rights" setup. Still not sure what's there to brag about. Linux today runs just about anywhere, even trashcans.
