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.

New Zealand rural towns struggle with little alternative options amid fuel crisis

Many residents of rural towns don't have alternative options like public transport as petrol prices jump by almost $1 in the last month.

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.

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.
