   If not daily, then several times per week.   
      
   Various use cases:   
   1) Running a remote browser on a headless server when you're trying to poke at   
   configuration webservice that's only listening on localhost.   
   2) SSH tunneling a browser on a remote server to poke at something on the   
   non-routable network   
   3) Presenting apps at work from home desktop or vice-versa depending on what   
   I'm   
   doing.   
   4) Various for-fun nonsense involving old computers, which is only tangentially   
   relevant here.
