Coming Soon: "Linux Sucks 2021" & "Awesome Masculinity, Computers, & You"

Got a few fun announcements today!

Since we are not likely to have in-person Tech Conferences starting back up any time soon, I'm taking matters into my own hands and will be releasing some big shows right here -- the kind I would usually reserve for venues like Linux Fest NW or SCALE.

And it all starts a little later this month, with a presentation I've wanted to give for years (but has been rejected by every conference from here to kingdom come)...

== Awesome Masculinity, Computers, & You - (Coming December 21, 2020)

We've all heard the term “Toxic Masculinity”… but what about Awesome Masculinity? Let's take a whirlwind tour through some of the most awesomely nerdy men, with their awesome manliness, that have helped make the computing world extra awesome. And manly.

... and then, in January, comes the big one...

== Linux Sucks 2021 - (Coming January, 2021)

Linux has royally sucked for many years (nay, decades). Let's kick off 2021 with a look back at all the ways Linux totally, utterly sucked in the last year... and gaze into our crystal ball to predict the myriad ways Linux will continue to suck in the year ahead.

Folks that subscribe here on Lunduke.Locals.com will get these shows before anyone else. I'll also be doing a live watch party on release day! Join me, and the rest of the community, in a chat room right here as we all watch the new show together!

Just one of the perks for being so awesome. ;)

If you're not currently an active supporter on Lunduke.Locals.com... now's the time! You'll not want to miss this!

Oh.

One more thing...

== Call for Linux Horror Stories ==

Do you have some Linux horror stories? Times when Linux utterly failed you (or you utterly failed Linux)? I want to hear them!

Send me your horror stories via email ([email protected], subject: Linux Horror Story). Keep them short (think: Tweet Length) so that I can easily fit them on a slide.

I'll be selecting a handful to include at the end of Linux Sucks 2021! If your Linux Horror Story is sufficiently horrible (or entertaining) it just might make the cut!

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! 🤣

New: MP4 Downloads for all Lunduke Journal Subscribers

All Lunduke Journal subscribers now have full access to DRM-Free, MP4 versions of every single video released during 2024 and 2025.

No matter where you subscribe to The Lunduke Journal (Substack, Locals, YouTube, X, or Patreon), and no matter what kind of subscription you have (Monthly, Yearly, or Lifetime), you can go to the Subscriber Perks page to get access to some pretty rad goodies:

DRM-Free, MP4 versions of all shows
A dozen PDF eBooks (plus some goofy games)
Full access to the exclusive Lunduke Journal forum

All my way of saying “Thank You” for supporting the important work of The Lunduke Journal. Couldn’t do it without you.

Also worth noting:

Any Lifetime Subscription (or Yearly Subscription picked up through Substack) is “Buy One, Give One” through Friday. Meaning you get a subscription for yourself… and can give a free subscription to whoever you like!

Which. You know. Is pretty awesome.

Final Reminder: Lifetime Price Increase in 24 hours

This is just a super quick reminder (so no body misses out):

This Friday (September 19th), the price of a new Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal will be increasing from $200 to $300.

Which means: If you want to pick up a new Lifetime Subscription for the lower price, simply grab one (via Locals, Substack, or Bitcoin) by Thursday night (Sep 18th). That’s roughly 24 hours from the moment I am writing these words.

Obviously, once you have a Lifetime Subscription you’re set. You know. For life.

I wanted to give all of you some notice so you could grab one at the lower rate.

Also worth noting: The Lunduke Journal has phased out sales and discount promotions. The current price of a subscription is the best price.

This will be the final reminder before the change goes into effect.
