"Command Line Week" starts tomorrow!
Schedule of events and how to get yourself ready.
October 11, 2022

Our last themed week (“DOS Week” — where we all spent a week playing with DOS) was an absolute blast.

And now our second themed week is about to begin… Command Line Week!

Here is a quick outline of the schedule of events (all times Eastern):

  • Wednesday, Oct 12 @ 8am — Command Line Week kickoff podcast

  • All Week — The Community posting all manner of Command Line goodies at Lunduke.Locals.com

  • Saturday, Oct 15 @ 11am — Video Hangout for Founding Members and Lifetime Subscribers

  • Saturday, Oct 15 @ 12pm — Text Chat for all subscribers over on Lunduke.Locals.com

  • Wednesday, Oct 19 @ 8am — Wrap-up podcast

Plus: Over the course of the week, I’ll be posting articles related to the Command Line (Linux Shells, etc.) on The Lunduke Journal — like the recent “The History of the First Computer Shell”.

How to Prepare for Command Line Week

What sort of command line you use during Command Line Week is entirely up to you! Linux, Mac, Windows, *BSD, Haiku… pick your OS and shell! Heck, if you want to run an older, text-only system… that’s cool too!

One of our Lunduke Journal Community Members (Gabe) has created a, most excellent, list of text interface software to help people get started. It contains all sorts of fantastic recommendations — all categorized — with handy links to help get them installed. Most of his recommendations run on Linux as well as macOS, Windows, and Free/OpenBSD.

Make sure you have a Lunduke.Locals.com account!

This is key to unlocking the full enjoyment of Command Line Week!

While Substack is absolutely amazing, Locals provides the community features we need to fully enjoy the awesomeness of something like this — including the ability for everyone to make top-level posts, live chats, and more. It simply is not possible entirely via Substack.

To make getting a Locals account easier for folks, I’m going to have a very specific sale… that is only available if you take advantage of it through Lunduke.Locals.com.

I know. I know. I said I wasn’t going to have any more sales this year. But I am so excited about Command Line Week — I don’t want anyone to miss out! Plus… I’m the boss. I can change my mind if I want to. ;)

How to take advantage of this deal

Repeat: This sale is only available if you create an account on Lunduke.Locals.com. The whole point is to bring more of you over to Locals to enjoy the good times! However, both of these options also come with full access on Substack as well! Best of both worlds!

  1. Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/Subscription.

  2. Choose “Card” and “Annual”.

  3. Enter the amount of the subscription you want (choose from the options below).

  4. Lunduke will follow up with you to make sure you have full access to both Substack and Locals. (This usually only takes a couple hours.)

Founding Member Subscription - Cost: $125 / Year $75 / Year

Benefits: Everything from the Standard Subscription, 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

  • Personalized Audio Messages

Lifetime Subscription - Cost $350 (one time) $200 (one time)

Benefits: Everything from the Founding Member Subscription:

  • For life… pay once, and and you get all of the perks… for as long as The Lunduke Journal exists. Which, considering Lunduke has been publishing articles and podcasts for over 15 years, is likely to be a good, long time.

I highly recommend the Lifetime Subscription. It is just such a good deal.

Note: This deal cannot be combined with the “Upgrade System of Awesomeness” (where you can apply your current subscription towards an upgraded one. It’s already too good of a deal. Stacking them would just be… insane. :)

See everyone during Command Line Week!

I am psyched. So much to share. So many things to try. And so very, very excited to see what all of you find, do, say, and recommend!

We all learned so much about DOS during “DOS Week”… I expect Command Line Week to be at least as awesome!

Debian: XLibre is Not Allowed, Devs Are Nazis

Reminder: Debian allows convicted child rapists to be Debian team members. Also, Debian left X.com, citing "Gender"& "Diversity", and offers internships... but not to Straight White Men.

Linux, Rust, & NixOS Use Master Branch, Support Human Slavery

Using the term "Master" in our software projects is racist, right? I guess that makes Linux, and most of the "Woke" Open Source Projects super, duper racist.

Fedora Linux Weaponizes Code of Conduct Against Jews

Call a Jew a "Nazi"? Fedora Linux (and Red Hat) say that's ok. Suggest that someone is being "antisemitic"? That's a "Code of Conduct Violation".

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! 🤣

Final Reminder: Lifetime Price Increase in 24 hours

This is just a super quick reminder (so no body misses out):

This Friday (September 19th), the price of a new Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal will be increasing from $200 to $300.

Which means: If you want to pick up a new Lifetime Subscription for the lower price, simply grab one (via Locals, Substack, or Bitcoin) by Thursday night (Sep 18th). That’s roughly 24 hours from the moment I am writing these words.

Obviously, once you have a Lifetime Subscription you’re set. You know. For life.

I wanted to give all of you some notice so you could grab one at the lower rate.

Also worth noting: The Lunduke Journal has phased out sales and discount promotions. The current price of a subscription is the best price.

This will be the final reminder before the change goes into effect.

New Lunduke Journal Sub Perks, Lifetime Price Increase Next Week

A quick update: There are some new perks for Lunduke Journal subscribers, and an upcoming price increase for new Lifetime Subscriptions (if you want one of those at the lower price, you have a couple days).

All the details below.

Lifetime Subscription Price Increase

This coming Friday (September 19th), the price of a new Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal will be increasing from $200 to $300. I wanted to give all of you a few days notice so you could grab one at the lower rate.

If you want to pick up a Lifetime Subscription for the lower price, simply grab one (via Locals, Substack, or Bitcoin) by Thursday night (Sep 18th).

The prices for new Yearly and Monthly subscriptions will remain the same. No changes.

Reminder: The Lunduke Journal has phased out sales and discount promotions. The current price of a subscription is the best price.

New Perks for Lunduke Journal Subscribers

I am working on adding a few new perks for Lunduke Journal subscribers — a way of saying “Thank You” for making this work possible (while still keeping all of the articles and shows free for the world).

Here are the perks as of today.

Perks for all Subscribers (Monthly, Yearly, and Lifetime):

Note: The eBooks & Games are currently only available on Locals & Substack (due to platform features). Those perks will also become available to subscribers on X, YouTube, & Patreon next week. Stay tuned for access details.

Additional (Optional) Perks only for Lifetime Subscribers:

  • The Lunduke Journal will follow your account on X.

  • Your name (real, or internet handle) listed in a special thanks slide at the end of new Lunduke Journal videos.

Both of these perks are 100% optional.

If you are a Lifetime Subscriber, and would like to take advantage of either (or both), simply email “bryan at lunduke.com” with the subject line “Lifetime Perk” (that part is important, I get so many emails this will help me see yours) and include a link to your X profile and/or the way you want your name to appear at the end of videos.

One of the nice parts of having Lunduke Journal follow your X account… is it will make it far easier (and more likely) for me to see your comments.

Thank You

I am working to expand all of the regular perks (books, etc.) to subscribers across all platforms (which was a little tricky, considering the differences in each platform, but I managed to figure out how to do it) — while adding a few new ones as well.

Nothing crazy, just a way of saying “Thank You”.

Seriously.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support. The Lunduke Journal is only possible thanks to each and every one of you.
