I have asked my local Bin Inn this weekend, unfortunately they'll only do their default 2 kg flour bags or then 20 kg bags. No 5 kg bags they're willing to sell :-(

Would there be a (small) NZ hoster to offer cheap/affordable/simple hosting to a NZ non-profit (a local #scouts group).
Needs are a (simple) web site (currently Wordpress), email hosting (currently email forwarding only) and possibly file/collaboration (seldom, low load, possibly Nextcloud with ONLYOFFICE).
Maybe @lightweight might know somebody or be interested to help/provide?
Note: This might help to provide a stepping stone to integrate with the fediverse, and/or also get them on board with departing from Facebook/WhatsApp eventually. Any insights/suggestions/strategies are welcome.

While researching the history of bringing bikes on buses, I just discovered something: in the mid 20th century, buses in Australia and New Zealand had hooks on the front or back for mothers to hang prams off! Bus pram hooks were apparently a unique NZ+Aus phenomenon, found nowhere else in the world.
For my Aotearoa New Zealand mutuals, this was one of my fav shows at Adelaide Fringe this year. Its coming to NZ in starting late March, into April. If its near you, go see it. https://www.eventfinda.co.nz/tours-festivals/2026/selene

Excellent Blueprint for how to not waste this #energycrisis in #AotearoaNZ and actually be strategic for once.
The list of " what not to do?" Seems to be literally the current government's policy :( Whichever party that commits to the largest part of this list gets my vote.
