Hey everyone!

Got a few scheduling related bits of awesomeness to update all of you on.

The New Lunduke Journal Events Calendar

There is a brand new Lunduke Journal Events calendar, which you can find over at:

https://lunduke.locals.com/events

Or in the Locals app, there is now an Events tab at the bottom.

This will show you all of the upcoming special events here at The Lunduke Journal. The themed weeks (like the upcoming Command Line and Haiku OS weeks), and some of the next Video Hangouts.

Very handy. Especially considering the ever-growing number of events coming up.

New Weekly Text Chat - Every Saturday

We now have a regularly scheduled text chat — at Lunduke.Locals.com — every Saturday at 12pm (Noon) Eastern.

This text chat is available to everyone who has a full access account over at Lunduke.Locals.com. That includes anyone who is a Founding Member or Lifetime Subscriber… or who subscribes directly via Locals.

(Substack doesn’t have this type of live chat functionality, otherwise I would offer the same thing there. I’m currently looking into a way to make this work for both Locals and Substack subscribers in the future.)

Every Saturday. Noon Eastern. Lunduke.Locals.com.

October Video Hangouts

The Video Hangouts — for Founding Members and Lifetime Subscribers — has been scheduled for the first and third Friday of the month, at 2pm Eastern.

Friday, October 7 @ 2pm Eastern
Friday, October 21 @ 2pm Eastern

These are nice and casual. A chance for a bunch of us to hang out and chat about nerdy stuff for an hour. A relaxed (and nerdy) way to end the work week.

The link for these video hangouts will be sent out before each hangout (though it probably won’t change).

Here comes “Command Line Week”

Command Line Week kicks off on Wednesday, October 12th and runs through Wednesday, October 19th.

A full week, dedicated to the command line. Terminal. Shell. Text Interface. TUI. Whatever you want to call it.

I expect many people will focus on Linux terminal applications… but there’s no reason you can’t take an adventure on UNIX, Windows, Mac, Haiku, DOS, C64, or any other text-based interface you feel like exploring!

I’ll be posting some historical pieces, as well as some cool pieces of software to help get everyone’s creative juices flowing.

The fun will, just as with the previous “DOS Week”, mostly take place at Lunduke.Locals.com.

Anti-ICE Activists Mistake Programmers for ICE Agents

A few software engineers were having lunch at a deli in Minneapolis. Leftist activists thought, because they were all white, fit males, that they must be ICE agents. They used Signal to organize a mob.

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! 🤣

Do you know what happens in the "Grok" Server Rooms a hundred or a thousand miles away?
🤔
Below, a Grok Instance was asked:
My Windows 11 fails to launch Notepad and other simple Apps. Give me detailed instructions to make Windows 11 perform with an efficient use of memory and processing resources when applications are in use. I'd also like my personal data to remain secure and private.

Advancing My Webblog by Regressing

I'm advancing my personal health blog by regressing to static pages. Regression? Yes. I'm advancing by retreating :p

I haven't been a web coder in a LONG time. I came in the wave AFTER websites were handcoded in pearl, but long before javascript. I coded pages in HTML and then with ColdFusion. Yes, I'm ancient. Web sites were built by hand coding and that was a road block for publishing.

Then came CMS - content management systems. These were a godsend. Technical users would install and configure and content creators would log in, type in their ariticles and hit publish. It was quite the innovation. I hosted sites using phpNuke, Durpal and other dinosaurs. BTW, I still think the forum software of that era are a LOT better than what we have here on Locals. I like threaded discussions, but I digress.

However, adding a database, application server and the rest of the CMS made content sites both more expensive and much more fragile. Sql injection attacks and ...

Lunduke Journal Week In Review - Jan 16th, 2025

Whew! It’s been another wild week for Tech News!

Here’s a crazy stat for ya:

We are currently 16 days into 2026, and The Lunduke Journal has already recorded 19 shows (17 of which have been published on every platform, and 2 others to be published this weekend everywhere… but are already available via the MP4 download page). And that’s with taking New Year’s Day off (and getting the flu this week).

It’s a heck of a lot of Tech News, to be sure.

Lunduke’s Top Stories for the Week

If you only have time to watch a few of shows, I recommend these 3 as being the most interesting (or important… or just… strange) from the last week:

In other words: A pretty gosh-darned crazy week for Linux.

(Those links are to Lunduke.Substack.com, but you can watch all of those shows on any other platform. As always.)

Other Tidbits of Awesomeness

A few other notes on this, most excellent, Friday!

The Lunduke Journal started publishing to TikTok this week. Why? Who knows! Because we can!
If you are a subscriber you can get access to the MP4 download pages (as well as the official forum) by following instructions on the Perks Page.
Reminder: Lifetime Subscriptions are only $89 this month.
So, you know, you want one of those.

And, with that, I leave you with a screenshot of the MP4 listing of the shows so far in 2026. Bonkers.

Lunduke's Lifetime Subscriber Wall 3 is almost full!

Holy moly.

This afternoon I sat down to update the 3rd Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber wall — adding in all of you who sent in requests over the last week or so.

And, boy howdy, were there a lot of you! So many, in fact, that the 3rd Lifetime Wall only has room for around 6 or 7 more names (depending on the name lengths)! That’s crazy!

If you want to make it onto “The Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber” Wall number 3… send me an email (bryan at lunduke.com) with the way you would like your name to be displayed.

Or, if you’re not already a Lifetime Subscriber, remedy that for $89. (Which, you know, is a pretty gosh darned good value.) … Then send me that email requesting to be added to the wall.

Once Wall 3 is full, we’ll start in on Wall number 4 (that’s nuts). At the current rate, I expect Wall 4 to debut this week.

And, as always, thank you for your support. Whatever kind of subscription you have, it is deeply appreciated. Monthly, Yearly, or Lifetime. All are amazing. You make The Lunduke Journal possible.

You rule.

Lunduke Out Sick Tomorrow

I’ve got the flu (or something else yucky) and need to take the day off tomorrow.

But I don’t really have a normal “boss” to email. Heck, all of you are sort of like my collective boss.

So I’m emailing you:

Boss, *cough cough* Lunduke is out sick tomorrow.

Which means no new shows on Wednesday. Hoping to rest up and be back with new shows on Thursday.

If you’ve missed any shows over the last few weeks, now’s a good chance to catch up.

And feel free to grab one of those fancy-shmancy $89 Lifetime Subscriptions while you’re at it. That won’t make my flu go away any faster… but it definitely won’t hurt.

Unrelated note: Buying stock in Nyquil might not be a bad idea. I think I’m about to increase their profits.
