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! 🤣

Nothing like a guy stepping up and calling BS on the whole operation. A guy who got it right before.

Billionaires PANIC AI bubble modern fraud exposed - YouTube

'Big Short' investor Michael Burry accuses AI hyperscalers of artificially boosting earnings
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/11/big-short-investor-michael-burry-accuses-ai-hyperscalers-of-artificially-boosting-earnings.html

There are 3 certainties in Tech. One of them is 50% off Lunduke Journal subscriptions today.

Life is filled with uncertainties.

  • Will Valve’s new Steam Machine be reasonably priced?

  • When will Microsoft replace the Windows Calculator with an AI chatbot?

  • Will The Lunduke Journal have a sale next week?

Do you know the answers to any of those questions? Shoot. I sure don’t!

But, within the Tech Industry, there are 3 certainties:

  1. There will be more bugs found in the Rust Core Utility clones.

  2. GNOME will say something stupid before the day ends.

  3. And The Lunduke Journal is having a sale right now.

Why take chances? Embrace what you know for certain and grab a Lunduke Journal subscription, right now, for 50% off.

$3 / Month. Or $27 / Year (which works out to… [does math]… $2.25 / Month). Or $150 for Life (seriously… for life).

Which will then give you all of the perks:

  • DRM-Free MP4 Downloads of all videos.

  • Full access to the exclusive forum.

  • And a bunch of nerdy eBooks.

50% off subscriptions lasts through Friday (November 14th).

Maybe the sale will be extended. Maybe another sale will happen again in the future.

Then again… maybe not.

Can you really take that chance?

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!

Lunduke taking Veteran's Day off

Today, we honor our veterans and their service to our nation.

Great men, like my grandfather who, during World War II, joined the Navy at 14 years old. He was a big, older-looking teenager… so, as was not unheard of, he lied about his age on the paperwork in order to go fight the Axis.

And his father, who joined in the year leading up to the start of World War I.

I am taking this Veteran’s Day off. In part to spend time helping my children learn about their family’s US military history (which goes back, on multiple lines, to the very beginning of our nation). And in part… to watch one of the greatest movies ever made, The Great Escape. Because, hey, Steve McQueen and James Garner! Pretty sure my Grandpa would approve.

Lunduke Journal shows will resume tomorrow (and I’ve got an awesome one lined up).

In the meantime, if you haven’t watched yesterday’s DHH interview yet, highly recommended. Watch (or listen) to it anywhere you like.

And, in the grand tradition of “Veterans Day Sales”, I’ve extended the 50% off all Lunduke Journal subscriptions discount through this coming Friday. Because I can. Pretty sure my Grandpa would approve of that too.
