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! 🤣

Lunduke Journal email hiccups, 2026 MP4's, & $89 Lifetime Subs

A few super-quick Lunduke Journal housekeeping updates:

  • The Lunduke Journal’s email server has had a few hiccups — if you had sent an email to “bryan at lunduke.com” in the last couple days, and have not received an expected response, send the email again.

  • The 2026 MP4 Downloads page is up and going! If you are a subscriber (of any kind) you can find details on how to gain access on the Subscriber Perks Page.

  • The popular $89 Lifetime Subscription deal is back through the end of January. Standard Monthly & Yearly subscriptions are also discounted (50% off). Grab ‘em while they’re hot!

That is all. Back to your regularly scheduled nerdiness.

Lunduke's Lifetime Subscriber Wall 3 is almost full!

Holy moly.

This afternoon I sat down to update the 3rd Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber wall — adding in all of you who sent in requests over the last week or so.

And, boy howdy, were there a lot of you! So many, in fact, that the 3rd Lifetime Wall only has room for around 6 or 7 more names (depending on the name lengths)! That’s crazy!

If you want to make it onto “The Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber” Wall number 3… send me an email (bryan at lunduke.com) with the way you would like your name to be displayed.

Or, if you’re not already a Lifetime Subscriber, remedy that for $89. (Which, you know, is a pretty gosh darned good value.) … Then send me that email requesting to be added to the wall.

Once Wall 3 is full, we’ll start in on Wall number 4 (that’s nuts). At the current rate, I expect Wall 4 to debut this week.

And, as always, thank you for your support. Whatever kind of subscription you have, it is deeply appreciated. Monthly, Yearly, or Lifetime. All are amazing. You make The Lunduke Journal possible.

You rule.

Lunduke Out Sick Tomorrow

I’ve got the flu (or something else yucky) and need to take the day off tomorrow.

But I don’t really have a normal “boss” to email. Heck, all of you are sort of like my collective boss.

So I’m emailing you:

Boss, *cough cough* Lunduke is out sick tomorrow.

Which means no new shows on Wednesday. Hoping to rest up and be back with new shows on Thursday.

If you’ve missed any shows over the last few weeks, now’s a good chance to catch up.

And feel free to grab one of those fancy-shmancy $89 Lifetime Subscriptions while you’re at it. That won’t make my flu go away any faster… but it definitely won’t hurt.

Unrelated note: Buying stock in Nyquil might not be a bad idea. I think I’m about to increase their profits.
