I did a double take at first, this little guy is from Wikkaninnish Island?!? I’m amazed she was found, there’s only a handful of cabins on there and last time I was there, only 2 permanent residents. I know one has passed away since then. I used to stay there with a friend at their family’s cabin, I miss the place, beautiful island with interesting history.

Here’s a pic of the goofball during winter, somehow in a state halfway between sitting and standing.

I always thought people overexaggerated about how dramatic huskys are - until I had one live below me for a few years. Some of those noises just made me laugh from how goofy it was. Dummy got sprayed by a skunk too, twice.

I had 2 great finds so far:

1: A David Clark noise cancelling aviation headset. It was used and a bit old but still worked perfectly. I was a student pilot at the time and was using the cheap headsets the school had so this was an awesome find. I think whoever put the pricing on it saw the weird plugs without knowing what it was and priced it at $5. I remember seeing them on ebay used for around $600.

2: A old network drive full of pirated content and porn from the early 2000’s. I don’t know what the fuck teenage me was thinking hooking this up to my PC without any idea what was on it but it ended up being a hilarious find. I think it was shared between a bunch of roommates as each folder was named after someone. It was an IDE drive so I made a backup (for reasons), wiped it, and now use it in a PS2. Think that was around $5 also.

Stay away from weed and you’ll get to live your dream.

Worse than that, we had a guy essentially miss the toilet while taking a shit in our work washroom. It was this larger construction worker and he must have sat down wrong somehow and shit went everywhere on and under the toilet seat. Guess who didn’t try cleaning up and left without saying a word? Fuck that was nasty…

Yeah, I like having cameras but don’t want that video being sent elsewhere. I ended up getting Tapo cams which are cheap cloud cameras but they also have RTSP streams and local username / password settings. That means I can send the footage to a locally hosted NVR and lock the cameras behind a parental option in my router that blocks all external in and out communication to them.

I had a Mastodon account but didn’t really understand how it all worked, I thought it was only for Twitter like applications. I really like the concepts of self hosting stuff so when the Reddit strike happened and I found out what Lemmy was, I decided to try it out and have been learning along the way.
