Lunduke Journal sale is back (for 1 day) because I'm a pushover.

Ok.  Just going to say this once.

A while back The Lunduke Journal had a big old sale.

Then, after the sale ended, a few people asked me if they could still take part in it (because they got paid on the 1st and wanted to take advantage of the discount).

Then, yesterday, I announced the “Use DOS for a Week” challenge we’ll be doing this week… and I got a few more emails from people who wanted to join in the fun we'll be having here on Lunduke.Locals.com… and they realized that they get a complimentary account over here with a Founding Member or Lifetime Subscription. And they wondered if that sale price was still available.

You know what? I’m a total pushover.  So I let them have the deal.

But, here's the thing: I couldn't very well give those folks the deal without offering it to everyone else.  That just wouldn't be right.

So, tell you what. The sale price is available again. For one day.

There won’t be any extensions to this. End of day today (Monday)… prices go back to normal.  No reminders.  No extensions.

See the Lunduke Journal About Page for more details on all of the various perks

Founding Member Yearly Subscription: Only $75 (Normally $125)

With a Founding Member membership, you get all the same goodies as above, plus:

  • A monthly video hangout with Lunduke & other Founding Members

  • Full access to both Lunduke.Locals.com and Lunduke.Substack.com

  • Founding Member Email Newsletter

  • With more perks coming (including a massive file server containing hundreds and hundreds of Lunduke-produced podcasts and videos).

Go to Lunduke.substack.com/subscribe, select “Founding Member”, and you’re good to go!  Or you can follow the instructions here for doing it via Locals.  Either way works dandy.

Lifetime Subscription: Only $200 (This is a crazy deal!)

This deal is bonkers. The regular price is $350.

You get all the goodies and perks of both the Standard and Founding Member subscription levels… FOR LIFE. You never need to pay another penny.

Not only do you directly support The Lunduke Journal, but you give yourself one heck of a good deal — you won’t miss out on the new perks that get added every single month.

You’ll want to sign up for a Lifetime Subscription via Lunduke.Locals.com:

After you finish signing up, your Substack and Locals accounts will be set to full, Founding Member level access… for life.

 
Signing up for a Lifetime Subscription via Locals should look something like this.

If you have any difficulties, simply reply to this email and Lunduke will help you out.

Note: Be sure to drop me a private message on Locals (or send me an email) letting me know what your email address is on Substack so I can properly set your account there.

Seriously.  Only for today.

Prices all go back to normal tomorrow.  Which... I mean... is still a good deal.  😎

No reminders.  No extensions.  Take advantage of it, save some money.  Or not.  Your call.  🤣

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! 🤣

This is an awesome channel and I'm always happy to see a video of theirs pop up. I was at Interop in Vegas in 97 and remember the buzz around this too!

Lunduke's Birthday! Woo!

Wooo! Today is Lunduke’s birthday! Want to help celebrate this most excellent of holidays? Here’s some totally radical ideas!

1) Share some links to Lunduke Journal shows.

Bonus points if you share those shows to the type of places where people would get mad about it. 🤣

The “Open Source is Anti-Free Speech” video is a great choice. Just remember to take screenshots… because some sites will censor those links faster than you can blink (be sure to let me know if they do censor).

2) Grab a Subscription

Gotta keep the lights on here at The Lunduke Journal! And, shoot, there’s no better gift than the gift of Big-Tech-Free Journalism. 😎

Plus… for the rest of February there’s some massive discounts (like 50% off).

https://lunduke.locals.com/post/6661699/for-february-50-off-subscriptions-50-off-drm-free-downloads-lifetime-subscriptions-available

So, you know, win-win!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go eat some BBQ. Because… birthday.

The number of people getting their Big-Tech-Free Tech News from The Lunduke Journal is shooting through the roof. Subscriptions (of every kind) are soaring.

And The Lunduke Journal is now available on a wide variety of platforms — with our core community area now consolidating on our own, self-hosted forum (which is exclusively available to subscribers).

With the tidal wave of new people — many of you wanting access to the new, exclusive Forum — I want to make it as easy as possible for everyone to become a part of what we are doing. Time to do something a bit crazy. Massive discounts on subscriptions (I mean… huge). For the entire month of February.

Yup. The whole gosh darned month.

If it’s February, the discounts below are all available. Choose whatever works best for you. Then feel awesome about supporting truly independent Tech Journalism.

50% Off DRM-Free, MP4 Downloads:

Want to be able to download every show The Lunduke Journal releases (and watch them on whatever device you like)? Yeah. You can do that. For 50% off.

Note: This DRM-Free download option does not include access to the Forum. This option is strictly for downloading the episodes.

The Famous Lifetime Subscription:

The "World Famous Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscription" is exactly what it sounds like. Pay once and get full access to The Lunduke Journal. For life. A great way to support Big-Tech-Free Journalism.

(This includes full access to the community Forum.)

The Lifetime Subscription can be obtain via Locals, Substack, or using Bitcoin. All three options work great and are super easy.

How to get a Lifetime Subscription via Locals:

How to get a Lifetime Subscription with Bitcoin:

And, finally, you can obtain a Lifetime Subscription via Bitcoin. Save a few bucks with this option, as Bitcoin processing has fewer fees associated with it.

bc1qyjakve8fywm8pz2v99v57yhjj0vzr2vjze6fcq

The Great Tech Demographic Survey of 2025

There are a lot of questions we don't have good answers for.

  • Do Trump voters prefer EMacs or Vi?
  • Who is happier with their life... people who use Tabs or Spaces?
  • Does your age impact your choice of Web Browser?
  • Who is more likely to support censorship... Rust Programmers or C Programmers?

Do you know the answers to those questions?  No, I don't either.

Let's find out.

The Great Tech Industry Demographic Survey of 2025

This survey is massive -- containing questions on everything from Operating System preferences to religion and politics.  Programming languages and... workplace discrimination.  It even gets into Cryptocurrency and Text Editor preferences.

Seriously.

  • All answers are 100% anonymous (no account is needed), no email address is collected.
  • All questions are optional (only answer the ones you feel comfortable with).
  • The questions are all presented in random order.
  • All of the (anonymous) results will be published.

The 2024 edition of this survey (last year) was taken by over 7,200 people across the entire IT industry -- an absolutely massive sample size (larger than most US Presidential Election polls).  For this new 2025 survey... we're aiming even higher.

Are you a computer nerd?  Do you work in the IT industry?

Set aside a few minutes and take the 2025 survey.

Then tell everyone about it.  The more people who take the survey -- across as many companies and communities as possible -- the better the data will be.
