I finally have Windows banished to a VM, only to be awoken for the 3 times a year I need a desktop version of PowerPoint.

I'm with you. 99% of the way there.

This seems like it might be a perfect use case for Tailscale. The open source version of the control plane is called Headscale but you'd have to host it in a vps somewhere if you wanted to use it.

Cut out the middleman and get some rollerblade wheels for the chair with sleeve bearings. They go over short carpet and hardwood floor and don't cause any damage.

Whew! Add in someone from Raytheon and Elon Musk and we have ourselves a real-life Legion of Doom.
