The Lunduke Journal Live Call-in Show + Discord Server
November is a big, big month for The Lunduke Journal
October 31, 2022

Got two awesome announcements today — things that have been in the planning stages for many months now.

The Lunduke Journal Live Call-in Show

Coming in November, a brand new show from The Lunduke Journal — a Live Call-in Show!

Ever want to take part in a Lunduke show? To ask questions, give your opinions, take part in quizzes, and joke around with Lunduke? This is your chance.

The show will record (and air) weekly, on Thursdays, with the first show happening on Thursday, November 10th.

That’s a big week for The Lunduke Journal! The very next day, Friday, November 11th, will see the debut episode of The Lunduke Journal Video Interview Series… followed by “macOS Sucks” on Saturday, the 12th! Whew!

Note: Only full subscribers to The Lunduke Journal will have the opportunity to take part in the Live Call-in Show. The public can enjoy the show for free… but only subscribers get to be a part of it.

The Lunduke Journal Discord Server

In order to facilitate the new Call-in Show, we’ve set up a new Discord server!

Many different services were evaluated (including XMPP, Telegram, Mumble, Whereby, and so many others)… but, ultimately, Discord provided the right mixture of features to make running a live, audio, call-in show extremely easy for me. While Discord has some drawbacks, those features just were too handy to pass up.

This also means that The Lunduke Journal now has, on Discord, a 24x7 chat server!

Our Discord server has the following rules (that just so happen to be the rules across all of The Lunduke Journal):

  1. No cursin' and swearin'. (Imagine a cowboy in a 1980's, prime-time TV show. If he wouldn't say it, you shouldn't say it.)

  2. No politics. None at all.

  3. Be excellent to each other.

In order to keep The Lunduke Journal Discord a friendly, happy place… it is only accessible to full subscribers (Standard, Founding Member, or Lifetime) to The Lunduke Journal

The invite link to the Discord server is at the bottom of this post… you’ll need to be a full subscriber to see the link.

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! 🤣

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:

  1. Saturday, October 31st is the last day to get your name into the LCOS About Window by picking up a Lifetime Lunduke Journal Subscription.

  2. Saturday, October 31st is also the last day when Lifetime Subscriptions are massively discounted. (Crazy, how those two dates line up! What a coincidence!)

  3. 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:

  1. Go to this page and pick up a Lifetime Subscription (aka “One Time Contribution with Lots of Perks”).

  2. Within a few hours, you’ll receive a confirmation email from yours truly with all the details.

  3. 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:

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:

  1. Test the latest LCOS release on your hardware. Hit any snags? Report them on GitHub, the Lunduke Forum, or via DM on X.

  2. 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.
