I’m an America who has never been to Canada, but I’ll weigh in with this:
Every single [edit - Master Craft] Canadian Tire tool I’ve ever come across or owed has a swingin’ pair. My 1000w inverter has been in a saltwater environment for 7 years and is still killing it weekly, as well as my CT cordless drill.
Marinix. It’s aimed at mariners & sailors. Small and fast but not full featured and it uses a weird kernel implementation. It does however have customized Muplex which I ripped off for the next dristro which I love :
Navigatrix - OpenCPN, zyGrib. SSB / HAM control, tidal info, radar and AIS overlay. RTL-SDR AIS, PACTOR 2 soft modrm, and so much more. It runs my main navigation computer
In 1997 the creator of Ren & Stimpy had a (somewhat) interactive flash based comic called The God Damn George Liquor show. I have that still. It’s definitely out there strange and not constrained by cable tv Standards & Practices. Highly enjoyable for what it is.
Buy an old Dell mid tower i5, put 16g RAM into it and 4 HDDs, a 16g USB thumb drive, and run Free / True NAS. I ran one for 8 years problem free other than upgrading the drives after 2 failed in the same year. $100 minus drives.
Obviously you’ve never been shit face piss drunk on Broadway at 3:AM on a weekend. A greasy bag of Dicks just might save your life. That or make you wish you’d Ubered to Five Points …
For that pitch perfect Garage Sound complete with smoking beer cans full of butts, skanks, posers, burgeoning alcoholics and enough leather to start a farm. Perfect.
