Schedule change, More Live Shows, Lunduke's Birthday
February 16, 2023

Helloooo nerds!

A couple quick tidbits everyone should be aware of:

A small change to the upcoming show schedule

There’s been some exciting news here in the Lunduke world — The Lunduke Clan, after having traveled the country extensively, has chosen a new town to call home. As such we will be in the process of settling down over the coming weeks and months.

Because of that, the “macOS Sucks” show scheduled for later in February has been moved to Saturday, March 18th — it will join “Linux Sucks 2023” for a Mega Lunduke Weekend Event (starting at 6pm Central Time, and running back to back). Should be a lot of fun.

I have updated the official Schedule page on Locals to reflect all of the upcoming events. I’ll try to keep this spot updated with additions and changes.

More Live Shows coming to all three publications

Now that we have three — completely different, but still nerdy — publications and communities… each one will be getting some regular Live Events.

In the coming days I will be announcing two new live shows — big shows, with fancy-shmancy slide-decks, ala “Linux Sucks” — one coming to our Nerdy Entertainment publication, and one coming to our Political publication.

And, just like with Linux Sucks, these will be exclusive for subscribers.

Is that a subtle hint? Probably.

This Saturday is Lunduke’s Birthday

I have put together a comprehensive list of what I would like for my birthday this year:

  • One Million Dollars

  • Post a funny nerdy picture

Choose whichever sounds best to you. I’m flexible. Both sound nice.

Don’t forget about this discount during BSD Week

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.

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! 🤣

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.
