Makes me think of the time I was running a stripped down laptop motherboard as a server for a while. Was given a laptop with a broken screen, but it had a wired NIC, so I pulled the screen off, along with any other component that wasn’t necessary, and shoved it behind a TV where it was close to the router. Ran on that thing for years before being able to afford better equipment.
An underrated feature of the laptop server: built-in UPS!
why the lid thing tho? you can just disable lid detection and it’ll not suspend even after closing.
Some laptops vent the hot air in a way that’s blocked if the lid is closed.
Not gonna vent much at all if you put in on a carpet…
makes sense. thinking again, i think my old macbook also did that…

Currently running a headless laptop with Proxmox. Love this set up and definitely great feature having the UPS.
Do you think that people that are using a laptop as a server know how to do that?
yeah, cuz i also use my laptop as a server lol
Honestly? Absolutely. I expect anyone who can set up a server to know basic shit about a laptop.
