No, I just misunderstood it. You described hosting it on your laptop. Which, if "other machines host it" to cover your laptop downtime, I would not call it hosting on your laptop anymore lol.
When you mentioned other machines, I assumed you meant that other machines had accessed the content and effectively temporarily seed it, as is the way IPFS works.
If your point was truly that other machines have your content pinned, then what is your point about "hosting it on your laptop"? Seems a bizarre description if your laptop can be closed, but the other machines have the content actually pinned. It's hosted by the other machines, not your laptop.
