In just over two years, their small Hamilton-based business, Sustainable Plastic Solutions, has reclaimed 3,000 tonnes of plastic and has created a world-leading closed-loop circular economy for grain tarpaulins.

They've just received a federal grant for matched funding of $9 million that will expand their operations to 16,000 tonne capacity per year and should enable them to tackle the so-far-unsolvable problem of recycling silage wrap.

But in the beginning, it was all financed by local farmers.

Due to hardware reqs we're tossing the idea at work to replace the Microsoft termserv with Linux. Due to the userbase being all windows fans we'd need a full on GUI and i've been prodded towards Mint. Good idea or bad?

I've happily set up a remote kunbuntu for my workspace previously, but accomodating multiple complete linux neophytes is giving me a bit of pause.

Bit more info: The current termserv is a debloated win10 machine with the multisession registry edit. However, it's on an R515 with proxmox (and running extremely well). Due to partner network requirements, we can't run depreciated software, and the box won't support win11, and frankly, I sat the boss down and asked him if he wanted to be microsoft's bitch for the forseeable future and junk serviceable hardware. He's absolutely up to getting on a linux ecosystem, but the graphical desktop environment is non-negotiable on his end.

Stumbled across https://www.bulkbuys.com.au/ earlier today, has some good stuff if anyone's interested.

Based on an r210 II I'm currently doing up

• Orico HB-325 3.5 to 2.5 inch Hard Drive Caddy - don't even bother. Could be useful in a CRU sled, but I don't have a dell one to hand.
• SilverStone SDP08B 3.5" to 2 x 2.5" Drive Bay Converter Getting better, but all four screws don't align in the dell caddy
• SilverStone SDP08B, 3.5" to 3 x 2.5" Drive Bay Converter Absolutely perfect.

random info I thought may be useful to others

Tim Pallas told an industry breakfast on Tuesday that he planned to introduce legislation to parliament this week, which will see the vacant residential land tax expanded to include the whole state from 1 January 2025.

Running IOS version, can post to the body of of a thread, but unable to reply to comments in any way, shape or form. Not even the option to do so. Not in-thread, not from inbox. Only options are report or copy text/link

Definitely logged in seeing as the whole inbox thing....

Also can't upvote/ downvote, attempting to do just collapses the thread

Thoughts?
