Update! They have found a home!

I’m still looking for a home for the remaining reusable, metal film canisters from my stash. There’s approximately 60 of them. Suitable for bulk loading your favourite 35mm film stock or various craft projects.

I've started migrating my repos from Codeberg to Worktree.ca; I'll keep the Codeberg repos as mirrors.

CA folks: Worktree.ca is great (Gitea).

JFC I'm an idiot.

Happy to send some (or all) your way, free of charge.
