  • It seems more that he was overruled by Luxon, Seymour & Brown. But in a way the Epsom voters have won the battle only to lose the war.

    There was never going to be 2 million new apartments all of a sudden, and so long as the provisions allowing the Auckland council to prioritise building in areas where there's infrastructure remains (which it does) - then Epsom has train stations and that's where they'll get built.

  • Be careful with rpm-ostree install as you can get into situations where some packages will block upgrades. But, once you get the hang of distrobox its pretty easy to install them in there - in whatever flavour of linux you want - and then expose them to the bazzite side.

    I've got a handful of weird apps for odd hardware type things that the flatpak side just couldn't handle so learning distrobox has been an absolute boon.

  • Bazzite has seen a massive jolt in growth over the holiday season, surpassing 50k active users. The Fedora Atomic image has gained 38.8k users total in 2025 since it began counting in April 🥳

  • For me it was a KORG nanoKONTROL2 that I swapped from a friend for some miscellaneous tech I no longer needed. The only thing I could find that can drive it was a python script and its imports were really hard to find. And of course without think I installed them with rpm-ostree and then couldn't update bazzite without first removing then reinstalling them.

    Distrobox solves that problem, the script is in my home directory so is available to the container and with a vanilla Fedora container I could just use dnf to install the requirements, export the python script and had it all working in 5 minutes and wouldn't even know it wasn't installed within my actual OS.

  • Yeah I switched October last year so 14 months in, only booted the Windows partition twice in that time. Recently just been pointed towards distrobox which really fills in the last gaps that I had - I think I can probably install anything I could ever imagine needing now.

  • Its another way/place to install apps from. There are some things that don't have a flatpak but you can install with homebrew, i'm not sure but I would guess TUI/CLI based apps will have a better selection from homebrew.

    IIRC was originally a way to bring the ability to install packages on MacOS, but its also pretty useful for linux.

  • Crisis in the compost heap

    Jump

  • Yeah its 100% location.

    We moved Wellington -> Hawkes Bay 7 years ago. Got a larger house, larger garage & doubled the usable section1 but spent (slightly) less to buy than what we had just sold.

    84m2 2 bed house, 404m2 section, single garage -> 100m2 3 bed house, 640m2 section, double garage.

    1. Combo of driveways, placement of the buildings and getting a section half as big again.

  • On the flip side, the ABs were awful for 40 minutes, ok for 20 and then good for the last 20. Scotland at home scares me.

  • Labour to campaign on narrow capital gains tax, no wealth tax

    Jump

  • Yep CGT is a simpler system to apply I think, but doesn't address the real problem which is that once a certain amount of wealth has accumulated wealth begets wealth and the vast disparity ends up with a small class of people fully insulated from the problems their horading causes.

  • Labour to campaign on narrow capital gains tax, no wealth tax

    Jump

  • That's where a wealth tax works better. Because this tax only applies if you sell, if you have enough assets and lenders are confident they'll continue to grow in value you can just keep buying more and then borrowing against them to cover your expenses year on year.

  • Farmers vote to sell Fonterra's Mainland, Anchor brands

    Jump

  • They probably don't sell it back in a lot of cases as we have all sorts of rules around pasteurisation of imported products don't we? Which would also mean they're not using our milk powder to make any high value cheese / butter type products either.

    I would expect most of the ingredients business goes into milk powders, baby formulas, sports supplements and then as inputs to bulk production - say cheese flavourings, bulk cheeses or butter/margarine mixes etc.

    ETA - as an example, Buldak's Carbonara noodles are listed on Fonterra's marketing as using some of their bulk ingredients for the creamy flavour. So think packet mac 'n cheese & stuff like that :)

  • https://www.fonterra.com/nz/en/flexible-shareholding/supply-fonterra.html

    You have to eventually hold 33% of your 3-season average milk supply in shares. And you have 6 years to get to that level of holding.

    I can't find an easy guide to work out what that actually works out to in money for a typical farm. I think there are Fonterra shares on the NZX but I don't know if they're the same as what the farmer's hold.

  • Room for the river: The future of Hawke's Bay's Ngaruroro River

    Jump

  • Yeah I spent a day helping clear up at an orchard after Gabrielle and there was a whole field where some younger trees were all just gone. I think what had happened in a lot of places was debris from upstream just washed through at velocity and broke everything above ground level away then pushed it down until it hit a barrier it couldn't get over or around.

    And in some places, where that barrier was a bridge the weight of water & debris was enough to wash that away too.

  • Room for the river: The future of Hawke's Bay's Ngaruroro River

    Jump

  • That was the maths I was working with too - but seemingly there's two parts to it, capacity between the banks and flow rate of the river in flood and for the latter wider is better.

    So presumably you can build lower, cheaper stop banks further apart for slower flood velocity and less risk of stop bank failure at the expense of more risk of stop bank overtopping.

  • Room for the river: The future of Hawke's Bay's Ngaruroro River

    Jump

  • From what I understood of the article one of the issues is that the vegetation - particularly willow - causes sediment buildup and soil comes in over top of the gravel bed. That suggests to me that the soil isn't particularly deep and in a Gabrielle level flood could see anything planted in that deliberate flood zone ripped out and shifted down to the next bridge.

    In most of those "reclaimed" areas especially upstream of Fernhill the land is pretty scrubby and I would guess not especially good horticultural land. But downstream from there where the stopbanks have protected it for so long I think there's a much deeper bed of soil - probably by that point the rivers would ordinarily have been going much slower so less often gouging out the dirt.

    It obviously adds up in cost because of the overall land area, but my dumbies math does sort of suggest the benefit in retreating stopbanks 15-20m either side would mean being able to contain that much greater volume of water during floods, reducing risk of overtopping.

  • Room for the river: The future of Hawke's Bay's Ngaruroro River

    Jump

  • A lot of the land lost since the 1950s upstream of Fernhill isn't exactly top quality stuff, but allowing the rivers to meander downstream from there will likely mean some folks have to give up some pretty valuable & fertile land. Better that than continuing to get flooded out given repeat Gabrielle's are more likely.
