I want to basically be always online in an IRC Channel. Mainly so I
don't have to go find logs of what I missed while I was away. Running
an IRC client on my laptop obviously doesn't do this because every
time I close the lid I'm disconnected. Is there something like an IRC
Proxy that I can run on a RaspberryPi on my network? Then connect to
that from my laptop to see history/send messages.

Yes!, look at ZNC

There is a log module for ZNC, as well as a few other handy things
such as supplying some history when you connect to it and
automatically authenticating you with services.

I found The Lounge and tried that out. Really like it so far. Easy to
setup and use. Suits my needs. Have it running on a raspberry pi 3 in
my office.
