The Tinkering section is for small computers you build with rather than buy: single board machines, mini PCs, home servers, and the projects that accumulate around them. Lily Marsh writes it for the person who has a Raspberry Pi in a drawer and no clear reason yet to plug it in. Articles here favour setups that keep working unattended over setups that demonstrate well, and every procedure states plainly what it risks, because a project that corrupts a card at three in the morning is not much of a project. Lily has spent years on arrangements that were meant to be temporary and quietly never were.
