It’s been a big week here at The Lunduke Journal!

New goodies for your nerdy enjoyment

There are six (count ‘em… six) new exclusives just for subscribers:

Being as you are a full subscriber… enjoy! (Links are to Substsack versions, but all of them are available here on Locals by simply clicking on the "Content" tab in the smartphone app... or "Content" in the web sidebar.)

Update to the weekend schedule

Plus, starting this weekend, we have a small scheduling change:

Normally we’ve published “Linux, Alternative OS, and Retro Computing News” as an article on Saturday… and followed it up with a podcast on the same topic on Sunday.

That was silly.

Starting now, the two are combined together. Just as they always should have been.

Now, every Sunday you will get the same “Linux, Alternative OS, and Retro Computing News” in both article and podcast form… at the exact same time. Which means you can listen to the commentary and read along. Much better.

This opens up Saturday to be — drumroll please — for nerdy comic strips! Huzzah! Because nerdy dad jokes told by pixel art comic strips are good for the soul!

The New-and-Improved Lunduke Journal Weekly Schedule:

Monday - Computer History
Tuesday - Computer & Linux Satire
Wednesday - Podcast (Subscriber Exclusive)
Thursday - Computer History (Subscriber Exclusive)
Friday - Wildcard day! Anything goes!
Saturday - Comics
Sunday - Linux, Alternative OS, & Retro Computer New

Taking classic video requests!

I’m working to publish as many of my past videos as possible — from my back catalog spanning over 15 years — to both Substack and Locals. That way all of you can enjoy them, ad free.

This week, I published three of them (links up top). And next week I plan to publish a couple more.

If you have any requests for past shows of mine that you would particularly like to see made available — just reply to this email (or send me a message over on Lunduke.Locals.com) and I’ll make getting that specific show published a priority. Even if you can’t remember the name of a video… just describe to me the show you remember, that you’d like to see again, and I’ll dig through the archives and get it uploaded!

No more sales! Huzzah!

Thanks to all of you, The Lunduke Journal is in a position where we don’t need to run any more big promotions (read: sales). This is absolutely awesome. And I owe it all to you amazing nerds. Not only for supporting The Lunduke Journal, but for helping to spread the word and to make this such an amazing community.

So… thank you!

On a related note: Even though there are no more sales, you can still subtract the total amount you have spent on Lunduke Journal subscriptions… and apply that towards a Lifetime Subscription. Just seems like the right thing to do, considering how much support all of you have shown!
At some point, I’ll need to stop offering that. But feel free to take advantage of that to save some bucks. If you have any questions (or just need me to look up how much you’ve paid for subscriptions to date), just reply to this email or message me on Locals. I’ll help you out.

Hope you enjoy all the new goodies here at The Lunduke Journal! Because there is a lot more to come!

Did the "USA Vote Against AI Data Centers"?

The narrative is that America "revolted" against AI data centers in the recent midterm election. But is that really what happened?

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! 🤣

Fable 5.2 the new Top Model

AGI, AGI — yadda yadda. I don’t do hype but I do evaluate the latest and greatest models from Anthropic and OpenAI when they come out. What do they do FOR ME? Not for benchmarks, but my real work.

I’m more than likely not someone whose work pushes the top models in a way that distinguishes their true new abilities. I’m not folding proteins or solving 100-year-old math problems. I’m also not trying to break into anybody else’s networks etc.

I had Fable 5.2 take a look at ALL of my work from the lens of: how do I turn this capability I’ve built into income (getting a job, running my own business, etc.). What is the strengths and weaknesses of what I’ve built as a platform. And more.

I found its output helpful. It was like getting a very experienced business developer, and AI architect giving me input to consider.

I then had it do a code review of my /Supervise skill and to evaluate the real use over the past 3 weeks. I’d spent all summer getting...

LCOS Notes 1.0 — Markdown notes with a classic desktop feel

This is my contribution to the Lunduke Computer Operating System.

My goal - an Obsidian like Markdown editor that follows the GUI Aesthetic of 90’s software consistent with the LCOS.

No accounts, no telemetry, no need to be online. All your data lives on your system in markdown files - which are just text files that any editor can also use/edit.

No lock in of any kinds.

Features include:

Wikilinks, backlinks, aliases and full-text search.
Daily notes, templates and quick capture to today’s note or Inbox.
Tags, properties and an outline for navigating long notes.
Reading view with tables, checkboxes, highlights, callouts and embedded notes and images.
Renaming and moving notes with link updates, plus Archive and Supersede commands.

The 1.0.0 package for LCOS 1.0 is available now:

3 Days Left to get your name into LCOS 1.0’s About Window!

Holy imminent operating system release, Batman!

Three things worth knowing:

Saturday, October 31st is the last day to get your name into the LCOS About Window by picking up a Lifetime Lunduke Journal Subscription.
Saturday, October 31st is also the last day when Lifetime Subscriptions are massively discounted. (Crazy, how those two dates line up! What a coincidence!)
Sunday, November 1st is the official release date for LCOS 1.0!

Want your name in the About window for the Lunduke Computer Operating System 1.0? You’ve got about 3 days left to make it happen!

Here’s what to do:

Go to this page and pick up a Lifetime Subscription (aka “One Time Contribution with Lots of Perks”).
Within a few hours, you’ll receive a confirmation email from yours truly with all the details.
Reply to that email with how you want your name displayed in the LCOS 1.0 About Window (nick name, first name, or full name are all aok).

Just be sure complete step 3 before midnight (Central Time) on Saturday, October 31st so it definitely makes it onto the final LCOS 1.0 build! My advice? Do this by Friday, October 30th so there’s no chance you miss it!

Huge thank you to everyone who has been supporting The Lunduke Journal and LCOS! You make all of this possible!

LCOS 1.0 Ships on November 1st!

A release date has officially been selected!

The Lunduke Computer Operating System (LCOS) 1.0 will ship on November 1st… just two weeks from now!

A few quick tidbits worth mentioning:

If you would like to help test the final Beta releases on your own hardware, grab the latest ISO from Lunduke.com. Report any issues on GitHub, the Lunduke Forum, or via X direct message.
Want to do even more to help out? Grab a “pay what you want” Lifetime Subscription and get your name in the “About This Computer” window inside LCOS 1.0! These funds go directly towards hardware testing and other expenses.

Worth repeating: If you want your name in the LCOS About Window (see the screenshot below), you only have through October 31st to grab a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal and make that happen.

Huge thank you to everyone who has contributed with both hardware testing and financial support. We’ve had absolutely tremendous momentum over the last few months, and that wouldn’t have been possible without all of you.

LCOS 0.9.3 has Landed! Plus: How to Help.

The Lunduke Computer Operating System (LCOS) is flying towards the official, 1.0 release — with version 0.9.3 now available for testing!

Between now and 1.0, LCOS is laser focused on a) fixing bugs and b) making sure it runs (and runs well) on as much hardware as possible.

Right now, LCOS needs your help. Here’s how:

Test the latest LCOS release on your hardware. Hit any snags? Report them on GitHub, the Lunduke Forum, or via DM on X.
Donate to LCOS (and The Lunduke Journal), so that we can expand our hardware testing lab (among other expenses).

If you haven’t already, watch the LCOS Roadmap video, to get an idea for where we’re heading (in 1.0 and beyond).

Then check out this page, for details on how to support LCOS & The Lunduke Journal (and get your name on the LCOS 1.0 About window in the process).

A huge thank you to everyone who has already contributed (in both ways)! With your help, we are making LCOS into the best gosh darned system in all the land.
