New Events Calendar, Command Line Week, Weekly Text Chat, & Video Hangout Schedule

October 03, 2022

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.

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! 🤣

While Alan Shugart is widely known for insisting the successor to the 5¼ floppy be small enough to fit in a dress shirt front pocket…

George Morrow rebutted with the idea that shirt makers make should make shirt pockets large enough to fit the current 5¼ floppies.

The hero is Nobutoshi Kihara of Sony (who also pioneered miniaturization in the WalkMan) that lead the development of the 90mm (or as we know it 3½ diskette) with portability and durability as primary goals.

Picture unrelated.

Interviews! YouTube Silver Award Thingy! 50% Off Subs!

This was yet another fantastic week at The Lunduke Journal!

Two great interviews — one with Ruby on Rails & Omarchy Linux creator (DHH), and another with the lawyer for 4chan & Kiwi Farms (Preston Byrne) — and now The Lunduke Journal’s YouTube channel has hit 100k subscribers.

Which mean I’m supposed to get one of those “I survived YouTube’s attempts to destroy my channel so now I get this silver plaque” awards. Which I may or may not have plans for.

How does The Lunduke Journal celebrate such a glorious week?

Why, by offering a super-mega-huge discount on subscriptions! Naturally!

50% off. Monthly, Yearly, or Lifetime. Through this next Wednesday (November 19th).

Lunduke Journal Update: Nov 12, 2025

Just a few quick Lunduke Journal-y tidbits on this fine Wednesday afternoon!

  1. Two fascinating interviews this week: DHH and Preston Byrne (the attorney for 4chan). Both are worth catching if you haven’t already.

  2. The 50% off Subscriptions deal has been extended through this Friday (Nov 14th). So many of you kept picking up new subscriptions… I figured… what the heck! Why not keep the party going? So Monthly, Yearly, and Lifetime subs are all half off at least through Friday!

  3. The “Lifetime Subscriber Wall” isn’t part of today’s (November 12th) shows. There have been so many requests to be added to the wall this week that I need to update the design a bit to fit everybody. The Lifetime Wall will re-appear at the end of new shows tomorrow or Friday.

Once again, thank you for your support! None of this would be possible without you!
