#DOSWEEK

Borland C++, including an online training lesson for the IDE. Nice, but it’s building example applications surprisingly slowly, considering I’m on a machine about 100x faster for instruction clock speed than I had before and much of the code should be able to run out of the processor’s cache. Where’s the “turbo”!?! 🤨

That last screen is what you pop up when the boss is walking by. 😉

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! 🤣

The Joy of Leaving the Cloud

Continuing to tell stories of joy in Linux and OSS land to counter the prevalent doom scrolling. I have been quite happy having transitioned off my SSDNodes.com hosted VPS, replacing it with Linux Mint Beelink box. I haven’t missed my VPS in the slightest, and now my local server is much more powerful and easier to develop and deploy too.

First Cloudflare tunnels allows me to securely share apps and web sites I develop without poking holes in my home network. It’s still a pain in the but to set up, but my “fake people staff” have taken almost all of that pain away. I say “fake people staff” to no derail this post which isn’t about fake people at all.

Synchthing is a wonderful OSS that does the one thing I really wanted most from NextCloud. NextCloud is wonderful in its own way but is finicky over time, IMHO. Once I set up my Mac mini as my hub, and the rest of my machines sync with it, it’s easy and wonderful. I can develop on any of my machines ...

The "Windows 1.0" Lunduke Lifetime Wall is here!

Two awesome tidbits:

The 7th Lifetime Subscriber Wall (aka “The Solaris Wall”) is full! No room for any more names! You can see the final version on the bottom of Lunduke.com (and at the end of new shows).
The 8th Lifetime Wall will make its debut on Monday! The retro computing platform chosen for Wall number 8 will be… Windows 1.0!

If you would like to see your name immortalized in a screenshot of the very first version of Windows, from 1985, displayed on both Lunduke.com & at the end of all Lunduke Journal shows (you know you do):

Grab a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal. Which, as it happens, is massively discounted through May 31st (this Sunday).
Once you have your Lifetime Subscription, contact Lunduke (details on Lunduke.com) with how you would like your name displayed.

Support the Lunduke Journal… and, at the same time, have your name immortalized in a screenshot of the operating system with (arguably) the worst color scheme in human history.

It’s a win-win.

Lifetime "Solaris" Wall almost full!

Just a quick heads up that the 7th “Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Wall”, aka “The Solaris Wall”, is almost full!

The Solaris Wall has enough space for maybe 6 or 7 more names (depending on name length)… before we lock it down and move on to Wall Number 8 (which will be another retro computing platform).

If you’re already a Lifetime Subscriber and want your name added to the Solaris Wall, just drop me a line (contact info on Lunduke.com).
For those of you who are not a Lifetime Subscriber yet, you can grab one right now at a hefty discount.

Hard to say how long until the Solaris Wall is full… but no more than a few days. These things fill up fast.

First come, first served.

Huge thank you to every subscriber. The Lunduke Journal wouldn’t be possible without you. You rule.

Last call for the "Amiga" Lifetime Subscriber Wall. It's almost full!

Holy smokes, that was fast.

The 6th Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Wall (aka the “Amiga OS 3.1” Wall) was introduced… what… a week ago?

I kid you not, the darn thing is already almost full! I was wildly unprepared for how popular this would be!

There’s enough space left for maybe 5 or 6 more names. Tops. Then I’ve gotta declare “Wall 6 (Amiga) is Full” and start Wall Number 7!

Here’s what all of the Lifetime Subscriber Walls look like (each shown at the end of every Lunduke Journal video):

If you want to get onto the Lifetime Subscriber Wall (and have any chance of making it onto the Amiga Wall before it’s full) here’s what you need to do (and do it quickly):

Grab a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal (if you don’t already have one).
1. A Lifetime Sub includes all the standard perks (plus a few) and can be picked up via Locals, Substack, or Bitcoin (whichever you prefer).
Email “bryan at lunduke.com” and let me know how you would like your name displayed (“Joe A.”, “Joseph Arnold”, “JoeyPants”, “SirJJMcManly”, etc.)

It’s first come, first served.

If you’ve already emailed me about being added to the wall, your spot is secured.

For the rest of you: Chop chop. At the current rate, I would be very surprised if the “Amiga Wall” wasn’t full by some time this weekend.

“Lifetime Wall 7” will be unveiled after the final name is added to the Amiga Wall. And, yes, it will be a different (awesome) retro computing platform.

As always, a huge thank you to every subscriber to The Lunduke Journal. Absolutely none of this would be possible without your support.
