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.

With Git Moving to Rust, How Long Until a Git Fork?

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! 🤣

79 Million Views in 6 Months for The Lunduke Journal

Welcome to February, all of you amazing nerds!

January was a fun month for The Lunduke Journal (thanks to all of you). For those interested in a little Inside Baseball, I’ve pulled together some stats and charts below.

The short version: Great month. Crazy news stories. Solid growth. Can’t complain!

Revamped Lifetime Wall

Oh! And the “Lifetime Subscriber Wall” is getting a “retro” facelift.

This is what the four Lifetime Walls currently look like:

 

Once that 4th Wall is filled (a little over 75% of the way there as of this morning), I’ll be introducing the new designs (for all the walls) along with the starting of Wall Number 5.

Each Wall now has its own, distinct look and theme. Very Retro Computer-y. You’re going to dig it.

To make that “Wall Number 5” get here as fast as possible, I’ve gone ahead an reinstated the “$89 Lifetime Subscriber” deal. But only until Wall Number 4 is full.

Want to be on the Wall? If you don’t have a Lifetime Subscription, grab one. If you already have one, email me (bryan at lunduke.com) to let me know how you want your name to be displayed.

Once Wall 4 is full, the Super-Mega-Ultra Discounted Lifetime Subscription goes back to regular price. And, the next day, the new Lifetime Wall design appears at the end of new shows.

At the current rate, I expect that to happen in the next couple days.

Stats for January, 2026

Now let’s look at the stats for January.

Can’t lie. I’m pleased.

  • 30 new shows (just shy of one new show every day)

  • 15.2 Million views (including podcast downloads)

  • 2,326 new subscribers

The most popular story of January, 2026:

Taking a high level view: This means that, in the last 6 months (Aug ‘25 - Jan ‘26), The Lunduke Journal has had:

  • 79.4 Million views

  • 21,694 new subscribers

Bonkers, right?

Here’s a chart of “views” for last 6 months:

The long-term trend continues to be solidly upward, with February (in the first 7 days, so far) currently tracking slightly ahead of January.

For those interested in the specific platforms: The Lunduke Journal is seeing the most growth on X and the Audio Podcast.

Here’s a combined subscriber chart for January (up 2,326 subscribers from the month prior):

Wild. It is truly amazing to me how widely these stories are spreading nowadays.

Over 15 million. In one month.

These are numbers that most of the big, “Main Stream” Tech Journalists could only dream of.

The reach of The Lunduke Journal, thanks to all of you, is now wildly exceeding any other publication I have ever worked with.

Even though most “Main Stream” Tech Journalists are refusing to cover some of the biggest stories in Tech… those stories are still getting out there.

They are being seen. Far and wide.

Thanks to all of you.

$89 Lifetime Offer Ends at Midnight!

I’ll make this quick: The $89 Lifetime Subscription offer for The Lunduke Journal ends at midnight tonight (Saturday, January 31st).

Once the calendar reads “February” — poof — the deal is gone.

If you wanted to save 70% on a Lifetime Subscription, these are your final hours.

A huge thank you to everyone who has signed up during this crazy deal. We are this close to filling up the 4th Lifetime Subscriber Wall (there’s a possibility it might fill up in the next few hours).

Far beyond anything I was expecting. All of you are absolutely amazing. The Lunduke Journal would not be possible without you.

If you were on contemplating grabbing that Lifetime Sub, I’d jump on it right now. The price goes back up to normal ($300) in about 12 hours or so.

Get it while it’s cheap!

The End of the $89 Lifetime Sub is Nigh!

Quick reminder: The massive deal The Lunduke Journal has been running — 70%+ off Lifetime Subscriptions, 50% off all other subscriptions — ends after tomorrow (Saturday, January 31st).

Considering that, here are the steps I recommend:

  1. Grab the $89 Lifetime Subscription before it ends tomorrow night.

  2. High five yourself for saving money and supporting Indie Tech Journalism.

  3. Maybe… grab a donut?

That is all.
