>>2932209 (OP)Based and Lainpilled. While there’s room for a general like this, as it crosses over significantly with other generals here you should probably link to /ohm/, /mcg/, and /3dp/ in the OP. /mcg/ is dead enough without its traffic getting split.
>>2932352I can see a purpose for a thread about broad learning direction and the big picture behind techy projects, leaving the discussion of the finer minutia to any extant generals. Whether it will be sufficiently busy is another matter, lord knows I build a lot less projects than I start. Though “tinkering” kinda implies the opposite, the aforementioned generals are more full of tinkering than of completed projects. If your project is big enough to be out of place in the generals, you just give it a thread of its own.
I can also see this becoming a /g/ themed diy thread (call it /psi/ or whatever, maybe lainchan already does that) based around non-bare-metal programming and software configuring and hardware selection. Custom media servers, scripts that generate HPGL for your diy plotter, phone degoogling, or PC building. All of those already have a relatively mature space on /g/, but /g/ is a cesspool.
