New Lunduke Radio Show! Founding Member Hangout! Other stuff!
February 27, 2023

It is a wild time in the Lunduke Journal world! Got a whole lot to share today!

Not gonna lie. I’m excited!

The Lunduke Journal Radio Show is a go!

As of this morning, it’s official: there will soon be a nationally syndicated, weekly radio show hosted by yours truly!

To say I am jazzed right now would be a massive understatement.

There are still details to be worked out — and the radio network won’t even be making the announcement for the schedule change for a few weeks — but I can tell you this:

  1. The radio show will be two hours — including news, interviews, and call-in segments — and will air (live) every Sunday. On a boat-load of stations across the USA.

    1. There will also be many, many live streaming options for anyone who wants to tune in during the show but doesn’t have a station in range.

  2. An ad-free, podcast version will be released for all full subscribers to The Lunduke Journal of Technology — right on Lunduke.Substack.com and Lunduke.Locals.com.

    1. (We’ve also come up with a plan to make sure the radio show cannot be easily influenced by Big Tech.  I think you'll all approve.)

  3. The radio show topics will be exactly what you’d expect from The Lunduke Journal… with an extra dose of general computer news and questions.

  4. This will have zero impact on the rest of The Lunduke Journal of Technology (other than we get a new, 2 hour show every Sunday). The articles and podcasts will continue has normal!

A huge thank you to… all of you! Your support with The Lunduke Journal has helped bring us to this point. Just amazing.

As soon as the network is ready to make the announcement, I will share it with all of you — along with details on which stations will be carrying the show and when the first air date will be.

Next Founding Member Hangouts

The next video hangout for Founding Member and Lifetime subscribers will be held on:

  • Saturday, March 11th at 12pm Central Time

I will email out the link to the video chat the night before the hangout. So… you know… make sure you have your membership. ;)

This is a casual hangout and is not recorded. Just a chance for all of us to relax together and talk about nerdy things.

Let’s celebrate!

This is a pretty big time for me and for The Lunduke Journal.

  • A bunch of big live shows happening in March (including a new Linux Sucks).

  • A new, 2 hour, weekly radio show (with podcast version) in development.

  • Plus… I’m moving my family, permanently, to a new home (this week!).

We just had a subscription sale last week, but (what the heck!) let’s do it again! Why not! Both to celebrate (and facilitate) the awesome stuff happening… and to make sure all of you have a chance to enjoy everything coming!

At the very least, make sure you have the Founding Member Subscription. That’ll let you watch all the big shows (like Linux Sucks), hear all of the ad-free podcasts (and soon radio show), and get access to all of the subscriber-only articles and books and monthly PDFs. (Plus access to all of the sites in The Lunduke Journal family.)

Here’s the crazy deal (super duper discounted):

  • Anything over $50 will qualify for a Founding Member Subscription.

  • And anything over $125 will qualify for a Lifetime Subscription

This is insanely cheap. Obviously, if you feel you can afford a higher amount… that would be appreciated. But if those amounts are all you can afford? Go for it!

To get a Founding Member Subscription:

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

  2. Choose the "Annual" option.

  3. Enter "$50" (or more) in the amount field.

To get a Lifetime Subscription:

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

  2. Choose "Give Once".

  3. Enter "$125" (or more) in the amount field.

Note I am processing these manually, so give me a few hours to upgrade your accounts (on both Substack and Locals) after you make the purchase. I will contact each of you by email after I set your accounts properly. If you don’t hear from me within a day, send an email to [email protected] to make sure your accounts get full access.

Woke Politics Control Open Source

Not user needs. Not technical requirements. Engineering decisions are now made by woke politics. This is not surprising, as Open Source orgs shift from software to political activism.

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! 🤣

Lee’s Move to Linux Full Time

Psyche, not giving up my Mac laptops, but since I’m doing so much work on my AI Employee Factory and all I’m building runs on my Linux machine, I’m reversing my “I bought a M5 Mac Air with 32Gig ram to be my main dev machine”. I am creating AI Employees that have jobs and run all day and night from my Linux box. Hella cool. More on those over time.

Too late, I already bought the Mac. But my M2 Air would have been sufficient.

I started with Syncthing and set the M4 Mac mini has my hub, and 2 laptops, a windows machine and my linux box to sync my /projects dir back and forth to the hub. It worked when I wasn’t hard core developing and running on the Linux box. It was nice to pick up any of my machines and work on any project. But I started throwing consistent Syncthing errors.

Then I started ssh’ing into Linux and running claude code and code via command line. Which works nicely, but if I close my laptop, long running processes end.

I added Zellij (a...

Lunduke Lifetime Discount Ends in 1 Day; Zelda, Larry, SQ, & Keen Walls Available

TL;DR: Lifetime Subscription discount ends in one day. There are currently 4 “Lifetime Walls” with space available for more names (the Oregon Trail Wall is now full).

We’ve been running a massive discount on Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriptions for the entire months of June and July. And it has been an absolute blast. There are now 21 (twenty-one!) retro computer walls overflowing with your names.

Pure insanity. Huge thank you to everyone who has supported The Lunduke Journal.

But the discounted price only runs through July 31st… and that moment is just about here.

When the calendar ticks over into August (just a hair over 24 hours from now), the Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscription price goes back to normal.

  • If the calendar still says it’s July, the Lifetime price is still discounted to $125.

  • If the calendar says August… the price returns to $300.

There are, as of this exact moment, 4 retro game themed “Lifetime Walls” which still have some space for more names (check Lunduke.com for the full list):

  1. Legend of Zelda

  2. Commander Keen 4

  3. Space Quest 4

  4. Leisure Suit Larry

Grab a discounted Lifetime Subscription (scroll down for the details), then email Lunduke (bryan at lunduke.com) with which Wall you’d like to appear on.

 

First come, first served. Once a Wall is full, it’s full. So if there’s a specific Wall you’d like to be on, don’t dilly dally.

How to Grab a Discounted Lifetime Subscription:

There are 3 different ways to pick up a Lunduke Journal Lifetime sub. All of them work great. Choose whichever works best for you!

Remember: These discounted prices go back up to normal ($300) on August 1st.

Get a Lifetime Subscription via Locals:

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

  2. Select “Give Once“.

  3. Enter “125“ into the amount field.

  4. After checking out, Lunduke will toss you an email once your account is set to full lifetime status. (This usually happens within a few hours.)

Get a Lifetime Subscription via Substack:

  1. Go to Lunduke.Substack.com/subscribe.

  2. Select the “Lifetime Subscription” option.

  3. After checking out, Lunduke will toss you an email once your account is set to full lifetime status. (This usually happens within a few hours.)

If you would also like full, Lifetime access to Lunduke.Locals.com (which is included):

  1. Make a free account on Lunduke.Locals.com.

  2. Email “bryan at lunduke.com” with the email address you use on both Substack and Locals (can be different email addresses).

  3. Lunduke will toss you an email once your account is set to full lifetime status on Locals.

Get a Lifetime Subscription with Bitcoin:

Bonus: Save an extra $10 with the Bitcoin option, as Bitcoin processing has fewer fees associated with it.

bc1qyjakve8fywm8pz2v99v57yhjj0vzr2vjze6fcq

  • Email “bryan at lunduke.com” with the following information: What time you made the transaction, how much was sent (in Bitcoin), and the email address you use (or plan to use) on Locals.com or Substack.com.

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.
