Reminder: BSD Week starts Wednesday (the 15th)!
February 14, 2023

From February 15th through 22nd we are going to be immersing ourselves in the wonderful world of BSD here at The Lunduke Journal of Technology!

I’ve been looking forward to BSD Week for quite a while!

I have a few articles in the pipe for the week — including “The History of BSD” (which is absolutely fascinating), “The History of vi” (a story that is deeply connected to BSD), along with some adventures into some of the weirder parts of the BSD world. Both old and new.

I’ll also be chronicling my attempts to use a few BSD systems over on Locals. Should be a ton of fun.

How to get the most out of BSD Week

While there will be a number of articles posted to Lunduke.Substack.com, you’ll want two things to really get the most out of the week:

  1. An account on Lunduke.Locals.com — this is where the community will be posting about their own adventures in BSD land (along with a number of Lunduke’s posts that won’t appear anywhere else).

  2. A full subscription to The Lunduke Journal of Technonolgy — some of the best articles will be only for full, paid subscribers.

If you’ve got those two things… you’re all set!

BSD Week will officially kick off at 8am (Eastern Time) on Wednesday morning — with a kickoff podcast and article. Though folks over on Lunduke.Locals.com have been getting ready for this one for quite some time!

You can participate in BSD Week in oh-so-many ways! Everything from installing and running a BSD variant on your own system… to simply lurking and enjoying the articles, podcasts, and posts from the community.

A little incentive in case you haven’t picked up your subscription yet

At the beginning of the month, the third publication in “The Lunduke Journal Triforce of Nerdiness” was announced, focusing on Nerdy Entertainment.

And, with it, the Lunduke Journal Founding Membership option was expanded to include full access to all three publications — including full access to both Substack and Locals.

This really is the best way to take full advantage of everything happening here in the world of The Lunduke Journal. To make it a bit easier to take the plunge — and help you to follow the fun — the price is reduced until the end of BSD Week.

From now until February 22nd at 8am (Eastern), the following discounts are in effect:

  • One Year of Founding Membership is $95 -- (Normally $125)

  • A Lifetime Membership is $295 -- (Normally $350)

Important Note: This is only available if you pick up the subscription via Locals.

To get a Founding Member Subscription:

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

  2. Choose the "Annual" option.

  3. Enter "$95" in the amount field.

To get a Lifetime Subscription:

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

  2. Choose "Give Once".

  3. Enter "$295" in the amount field.

Lunduke will then set your accounts to full access across the whole Lunduke Journal family of publications (it is a manual process, so give Lunduke a few hours to take care of it). And feel free to reach out at [email protected] if you have any questions or hit any snags.

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! 🤣

Oregon Trail, Keen, & Leisure Suit Larry Lifetime Walls

Holy frijoles! There are now 20 (twenty!) Lifetime Subscriber Walls, filled with the names of roughly one bazillion Lunduke Journal supporters.

Just amazing.

Two super quick updates:

  1. The “Desqview/X”, “NeXTSetp”, & “TRS-80 Model 100” Walls are now full! (Check them out on Lunduke.com and at the end of new shows.)

  2. There are 3 new Walls available to put your John Hancock on… and, just for kicks, these ones aren’t from Classic Operating Systems… they’re Classic Games:

    1. Oregon Trail

    2. Commander Keen 4

    3. Leisure Suit Larry

 

I don’t expect space on these Walls to last long. First come first served.

A huge thank you to all of The Lunduke Journal subscribers. Your support is deeply appreciated. You make this possible.

TRS-80 Model 100 joins The Lunduke Journal Lifetime Wall party!

Buckle up, Buttercup. Because The Lunduke Journal is about to blow your mind.

  1. The “BeOS” Wall Lifetime Subscriber Wall is now full (see all of them on Lunduke.com)!

  2. We’ve added a new “TRS-80 Model 100” Wall (because we can)! That’s the 19th Lifetime Subscriber Wall! 19!

  3. The discounted Lifetime Lunduke Journal Subscriptions are still available through to the end of this month (July).

Which means there are, as of this exact moment, 4 Walls with space available (see Lunduke.com for the full list of Walls). But these fill up wicked fast.

  1. Emacs (only a few spots left)

  2. Desqview/X (a little less than 2/3rd’s full)

  3. NeXTStep (still plenty of space)

  4. TRS-80 Model 100 (just launched)

 

Nice, right?

Worth noting: The “TRS-80 Model 100” has very limited screen resolution (240 x 64), which means only a small number of names can fit on that wall. If you want on it, I’d let me know right away.

Grab a discounted Lifetime Subscription (if you don’t already have one), then let me know (email “bryan at lunduke.com”) which Wall you’d like to see your name on.

Huge high five to everyone who has already added their name to a Wall. At the current rate, we’ll have over 20 retro computer themed walls, filled with all of your names, by the end of the month.

And, doggone it, that’s amazing.

Vim beats Emacs!

Well, we’ve done it.

We’ve answered the eternal question: “Which Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Wall would fill with names quicker? Emacs or Vim?”

The answer, it turns out, is “Vim”. And it takes just 8 days.

 

A hearty “Thank You” to everyone who supports The Lunduke Journal by getting Lifetime Subscriptions (massively discounted throughout July) and getting on these walls! You make all of this possible!

Now. How long will it take for Emacs to fill up (matching the same number of names as the Vim Wall)?

Well, right now the Emacs Wall is a hair over 2/3rds of the way full. So we’ll find out!

Welcome NeXTStep Wall!

With the closing of the “Vim” Wall (and the BeOS Wall only having the space for 1 name left), now seemed like a good time to add a new retro computer wall: The NeXTStep 1.0 Wall.

Right now, there are 4 Walls available to add your name to (*cough* massive discount *cough*).

  • NeXTStep (just opened)

  • Emacs (about 2/3rds full)

  • BeOS R5 (1 spot left)

  • Desqview/X (1/2 full)

 

Once again, huge thanks to everyone who supports The Lunduke Journal!
