My wife just discovered entirely by accident that there's a new government thing businesses have to register with: https://www.fincen.gov/news/news-releases/us-beneficial-ownership-information-registry-now-accepting-reports

Seems to apply even to tiny businesses that make no money selling books such as https://www.skaeth.com. 😛

Looks like if you have a corp or LLC you're going to have to register for it before the end of the year and there's fines or something if you don't?

Kind of ridiculous she only discovered it by accident. Shouldn't they have at least mailed something?

@bigzaphod isn't having a LLC registering a business?

Hey peeps,

What older laptops work best with NetBSD?

I tried Net on my Thinkpad X200 about 18 months ago, and wasn't able to get S3 suspend working (it just rebooted, IIRC).

Is anyone else running NetBSD on a laptop?

Just curious, thinking about trying it out in the future, on something cheap and used. :)

@RL_Dane Of course it runs NetBSD...

poorly.

Taking a break from yard work browsing for super cheap 2018 Mac Mini’s so I can make a build server. 😂

As if I don’t have enough to do. I still have a mini sitting downstairs collecting dust, I plan on using it for a media/file server and for backing stuff up. I should get that working. 🤔

I haven’t looked at Linux development in a very long time, say 2009 or so. What is the recommended way to create a native application? What UI framework would one use? Is C/C++ still the primary language or has Rust or some other language become the new hotness?

    One of the enduring problems I have with Dune - not the movies, not the first book, but the entire series of books penned by Herbert and his successors - is how central the three dominant Abrahamic faiths figure into the storylines. More than 20,000 years from now.

    I think it was fundamentally unimaginative of Frank Herbert, but then again this is the guy who gave us a Macguffin of divination through psychedelic worm poop.
