A little discount to make the move to Locals easier
May 10, 2023

Just sent this out to the Substack subscribers.  Posting it here in case anyone already on Locals wants to take advantage of it.  Don't want anyone to get left out.

As you all know, The Lunduke Journal is leaving Substack behind and consolidating everything onto Locals. While this has many (many!) benefits for the entire community, I recognize that moving to a new platform can be a bit of a pain.

To make things easier — and to ease that pain a little — The Lunduke Journal is offering the yearly, Founding Member level subscription for $75 during this transition.

The “Founding Member” subscription gives you full access to all three of the Lunduke Journal publications and communities:

  1. Lunduke.Locals.com — the primary, Tech-focused community.

  2. NerdyEntertainment.Locals.com — focused on nerdy entertainment (TV, comics, books, etc.)

  3. ConservativeNerds.Locals.com — the only place around here where politics is allowed

Think of it like getting access to all three sites (the communities, the articles, the podcasts, all of it)… for the price of 1 1/2. Pretty good deal.

How to get the Founding Member subscription:

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

  2. Create an account (if you haven’t already).

  3. Select the “Annual” option and enter $75 into the field.

It will look something like this:

 

Once you’ve done that, Lunduke will set all of your accounts — on all three Locals sites — to full access. Easy peasy.

Getting Started on Locals

One you are all setup, head to the following post on Locals:

https://lunduke.locals.com/post/3979854/a-quick-locals-primer-for-the-new-folks

This will give you a handy, quick primer on where to find all of the subscriber benefits and some tips on how to make the most of your Locals experience.

Looking forward to seeing you on Locals!

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 Week In Review - Jan 16th, 2025

Whew! It’s been another wild week for Tech News!

Here’s a crazy stat for ya:

We are currently 16 days into 2026, and The Lunduke Journal has already recorded 19 shows (17 of which have been published on every platform, and 2 others to be published this weekend everywhere… but are already available via the MP4 download page). And that’s with taking New Year’s Day off (and getting the flu this week).

It’s a heck of a lot of Tech News, to be sure.

Lunduke’s Top Stories for the Week

If you only have time to watch a few of shows, I recommend these 3 as being the most interesting (or important… or just… strange) from the last week:

In other words: A pretty gosh-darned crazy week for Linux.

(Those links are to Lunduke.Substack.com, but you can watch all of those shows on any other platform. As always.)

Other Tidbits of Awesomeness

A few other notes on this, most excellent, Friday!

And, with that, I leave you with a screenshot of the MP4 listing of the shows so far in 2026. Bonkers.

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.
