This morning, I set up OpenVPN on a cloud server and connected my laptop and desktop computers to it. Then I added the Remote Explorer extension to VS Code on my laptop, and it now just works as if it's running on my desktop machine, with Scala, Metals and Fury, all over SSH.

Maybe he's using sshfs? However, I'm not sure what Jon wants to do. Is it about opening an IDE on an always-on computer so that we can always pick up where we left off?
The files which live on the desktop machine are visible on the laptop in the IDE using SSHFS, but that happens automatically. VS Code's UX makes them editable like local files. The IDE is running locally on the laptop while compilation happens on the desktop.
