For now I'm planning to have everything in one place I might buy some pies or optiplex to expand it in the future

Nice idea might try that, for time being will remove the battery.

Couldn't find a setting to turn off the display so I keep it shut , I disabled the lid switch so closing the lid won't suspend the laptop. About the battery many people told me to remove it so i will try that once the turn the server on today

I recently converted an old dell laptop to a server by installing Ubuntu server and casa os on it as I wanted to have some info of how it works but since then I have grown a liking towards the sheer amount of things I can host on it. I want to host pihole/adguard on it but i don't know if it is safe to keep it running overnight as it's a laptop. Currently I shut it down at night but for adguard I'll need it running all the time. I'm just worried abut the battery or maybe the hardware will malfunction as its a laptop.
