People arguing about lid closing when clearly the biggest sin is a laptop on a carpet. Please put a hard surface under to stop it hoovering up all dust and particles possible and having appalling airflow

why the lid thing tho? you can just disable lid detection and it'll not suspend even after closing.

I feel like I've probably downloaded a torrent off this very machine.

Disable suspend when the laptop lid is closed on a systemd-based GNU/Linux system:

sudo sed -i 's/#HandleLidSwitch=suspend/HandleLidSwitch=ignore/g' /etc/systemd/logind.conf
sudo sed -i 's/#HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=suspend/HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore/g' /etc/systemd/logind.conf
sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind

If you are in a TTY, you can blank the screen before closing the lid to prevent burn-in. After running this, come back later and press a key to turn the screen on again.

alias blankscreen='setterm --blank=force; read ans; setterm --blank=poke'

I'm using a crappy HP mini PC from 2016 with just 4GB of RAM and it runs my Nextcloud with Talk that I use instead of Discord. The most limiting factor is actually my internet connection... Only 8 megabits of upload only gets you so far (it used to be 20 megabits but my ISP screwed me over)

No Ethernet cable? Must be terrible running a server over WLAN.

I wonder what Lemmy instance is this server running :P

Me too.
