At $20/mo in DigitalOcean services that are only required if you're running on a chromebook, why not just run on an inexpensive PC? It's seemingly long-term more expensive to do it this way.

I log off the computer at home, come to work, log on and its like I’m on the same computer." So using a single computer wouldn't provide that, unless you took it with you which the author would apparently prefer not to do.
