Fonterra is getting ready to tackle its biggest source of emissions - farmers (www.stuff.co.nz)
 

For those who have been following the "Dairy/Emissions/Climate Change" saga the last few days, this story highlights the role that Fronterra will/must play in turning the industry around to be accepted on the World stage. This includes at least some move to plant based production. Fronterra can dictate to farmers what practices are acceptable, or it won't collect the milk, this has been done before, so Fronterra has the power to force the change.

As one of the early commenters below the story highlights, this does nothing for the pollution of NZ Rivers that continues, though. It IS time for the Farmers to pay, and I suspect many are going to pay dearly.

Independent panel declines Ngāi Tahu's plans for a salmon farm off the coast of Stewart Island (i.stuff.co.nz)
 

Another Southland major project looking like a non-starter. Cannot seem to catch a break, though I feel some of our "leaders" might be the root of the problems?

Too deep of a comment, or just a bug? (infosec.pub)
 

Not sure if this is something new with the update, but the above shows an endless loop of repeating the same comment rather than opening the next.

This crashes Jerboa, and appears the same on Desktop and Mobile Chrome browser.

Planned Southland plant-based milk factory now heading elsewhere (southlandtribune.substack.com)
 

Southland just can't seem to get decent investment rolling :( I had been looking forward to a locally manufactured, plant based milk alternative.

I think it's a bit early to suggest that the three party Labour+Greens+TPM will be needed to form Government. Polls are just that, and a lot can happen between now and election day.

My thoughts are that ACT has the potential to create/cause the most damage, but that's a personal view, obviously. It is a sad state of affairs when voting decisions are made based on who can do the least damage, but here we are. :(

Agree, I think there will be a hard swing towards the Greens.

A similar thing seems to be happening with ACT, I think some people are just fed up with the majority parties, their antics, and lack of true commitment to any meaningful cause.

nginx

Not sure why others are suggesting a Raspberry Pi and nginx would cause problems? I run three public facing websites on a single Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB RAM. Has been working flawlessly for 2 years. Typical uptime is measured in multiple months.

Running Wordpress, fail2ban and certbot. Booting and running of a USB drive - have considered SSD but no need as I cache to RAM for performance.
