What you are about to read is a very strange publication.

Within the pages of The Lunduke Journal, you will not read about the latest press release from a Cloud Storage Provider (tm). Nor will you be inundated with Best Practices around the Containerization of Big Data. Whatever the heck that actually means.

What you will find... are nerdy things.

Happy, nerdy things. Stuff that you can read -- and activities you can enjoy -- by yourself... or with your friends... or with your kids. Always family friendly, always Safe-For-Work.

A new issue of The Lunduke Journal comes out every two weeks, and is chock full of:

Super-Nerdy Articles - The kind of stuff you won't read in an Enterprise Computing type magazine. In this issue, we're diving into the wild and wonderful world of Computer Bulletin Board Systems (BBS's). Their history, their modern usage, and even how to set up your own in 2020. New topics every issue. Linux? Retro-computing? Alternative Operating Systems? You bet.

Nerdy Comic Strips - I like Dad Jokes. The nerdier the better. Sprinkled throughout The Lunduke Journal you'll find some of the nerdiest Dad Jokes and comic strips on the planet. Because smiling is important.

Tech News - One page of Technology news. Maximum. And only the stuff that is truly interesting. Or entertaining. Or just plain weird. Don't have time to keep up with the Tech news? One page every two weeks. Boom. Done.

Nerdy Crafts - Seriously. Crafts. Paper dolls of the Linux mascot (Tux the Penguin). Cross Stitch patterns. Color-by-numbers. All extremely nerdy. Got a spouse you'd like to introduce to your nerdy world? Want to play paper dolls with your kids... using the Linux mascot? The Lunduke Journal is your place.

And The Lunduke Journal is always ad free. Supported entirely by readers, like you, who subscribe to support the publication and get new issues every two weeks.

Reminder: You'll want to subscribe at either of these URLs to get Issue #2 when it arrives in two weeks!

(Lunduke.Locals.com is the recommended place to subscribe. Amazing, nerdy community. Get alerted the moment new issues are available... as well as new videos I produce.)

Yours in nerdiness,

Bryan Lunduke

The futility of Ad-Blockers

Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.

It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

openSUSE says "No Lunduke allowed!"

Those in power with openSUSE make it clear they will not allow me anywhere near anything related to the openSUSE project. Ever. For any reason.

Well, that settles that, then! Guess I won't be contributing to openSUSE! 🤣

You know, I've forgotten how much I enjoy hanging out here. :-D

I love that @Lunduke continues reporting the news that isn't getting reported anywhere else. Sometimes it gets old - another foundation or whoever goes hard left, another tech legend got banned, another system gets hacked, etc. But it's important enough that I still want to follow it. And he still works in some fun stuff too (like his ReactOS piece, which kinda has me wanting to create my own Linux distro with a fully Win32 userland). :-D

But he's not the only one creating awesome stuff on here! In case you're not aware...

@Greg_Gauthier has not one, not two, but three channels going! Old Computer Nerd, Old Sci-Fi Nerd, and Old Philosophy Nerd. I just spent like 2 hours following along on this cool "let's do a type-in BASIC program" video. More on that later.
@Dirt2901 posts random YouTube videos that always lead to fun! Whether it's new emulators, computing history, tutorials, or random stuff like "hard to ...

AI is freaky. But sometimes, in a good way. 😆

This past Christmas, I was listening to my usual Manheim Steamroller playlist on YouTube. Now I have Brave set up to delete my browsing history every time I close it, but apparently I had been watching some Shadiversity the night before, because somehow YouTube guessed I'm a nerd. 😆 Specifically, the kind of nerd who likes castles, magic, knights, dragons, and all that kind of thing (and I do - both the fictional and the historical).

I say it figured this out because it recommended a song I never would have gone looking for. It was HARD rock, the kind I usually can't stand. But mixed with that hard rock was what I can only describe as medieval music. It was as if someone were trying to answer the question, "if the knights of old were to find their way into our time, what would they listen to while training?" 😆 ⚔ Mixed with the drums, bass and electric guitar were harps, flutes, fiddles and bagpipes. Apparently this is an actual genre of ...

$89 Lifetime Offer Ends at Midnight!

I’ll make this quick: The $89 Lifetime Subscription offer for The Lunduke Journal ends at midnight tonight (Saturday, January 31st).

Once the calendar reads “February” — poof — the deal is gone.

If you wanted to save 70% on a Lifetime Subscription, these are your final hours.

A huge thank you to everyone who has signed up during this crazy deal. We are this close to filling up the 4th Lifetime Subscriber Wall (there’s a possibility it might fill up in the next few hours).

Far beyond anything I was expecting. All of you are absolutely amazing. The Lunduke Journal would not be possible without you.

If you were on contemplating grabbing that Lifetime Sub, I’d jump on it right now. The price goes back up to normal ($300) in about 12 hours or so.

Get it while it’s cheap!

The End of the $89 Lifetime Sub is Nigh!

Quick reminder: The massive deal The Lunduke Journal has been running — 70%+ off Lifetime Subscriptions, 50% off all other subscriptions — ends after tomorrow (Saturday, January 31st).

Considering that, here are the steps I recommend:

Grab the $89 Lifetime Subscription before it ends tomorrow night.
High five yourself for saving money and supporting Indie Tech Journalism.
Maybe… grab a donut?

That is all.

$89 Lifetime Lunduke Subs ends this week!

Quick heads up, that the $89 Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal discount ends… at the end of this week!

Discounting Lifetime Subscriptions by over 70% was an absolute blast. So many of you took advantage of the offer that we’re now up to four Lifetime Subscriber walls at the end of every video. Crazy!

But something that awesome can’t last forever. Which means that, in just a few days, Lifetime Subscriptions will return to their regular price of $300.

With no plans to do another wild discount like that any time soon.

So.

If you haven’t already, snag an $89 (via Bitcoin) or $99 (via Substack or Locals) Lifetime Subscription.
Then let me know if you’d like to be added to the Lifetime Wall of ~~Shame~~ Awesomeness.

My guess is, a the current rate, that 4th Lifetime Wall will be full by Friday.

Bonkers.

And, once again, thank you to each and every subscriber. The Lunduke Journal would not be possible without you.
