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! 🤣

I Love it When a Plan Comes Together - A Team

Since I’m doing so much work in Linux, long running coding sessions, I began using Zellij a tmux type app.

I haven’t used the tiling but I do name my sessions. It’s Saturday and I’m trying to take a break from working all day so I’m watching Tv and have my iPad.

Inspiration hits and I use the Termius iPad app to SSH into my Linux box. Then I list my active zellij sessions and attach to the one I wish to continue working in - from my iPad.

It’s a Claude code session that has finished a long task. Claude and I talk about next actions and then I tell Claude what I want him to accomplish.

Off he goes to work on my behalf while I resume watching tv. Life is good.

Btw, the project I’m working on is to build a set of commercial quality agents to speed up RFP processes. It will be used by consulting firms of all kinds. The result will be far more rapid turn around times and far less cost.

I have teamed up with a domain expert who knows the...

Preppy Punctuations!!

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.

Vim beats Emacs!

Well, we’ve done it.

We’ve answered the eternal question: “Which Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Wall would fill with names quicker? Emacs or Vim?”

The answer, it turns out, is “Vim”. And it takes just 8 days.

 

A hearty “Thank You” to everyone who supports The Lunduke Journal by getting Lifetime Subscriptions (massively discounted throughout July) and getting on these walls! You make all of this possible!

Now. How long will it take for Emacs to fill up (matching the same number of names as the Vim Wall)?

Well, right now the Emacs Wall is a hair over 2/3rds of the way full. So we’ll find out!

Welcome NeXTStep Wall!

With the closing of the “Vim” Wall (and the BeOS Wall only having the space for 1 name left), now seemed like a good time to add a new retro computer wall: The NeXTStep 1.0 Wall.

Right now, there are 4 Walls available to add your name to (*cough* massive discount *cough*).

  • NeXTStep (just opened)

  • Emacs (about 2/3rds full)

  • BeOS R5 (1 spot left)

  • Desqview/X (1/2 full)

 

Once again, huge thanks to everyone who supports The Lunduke Journal!
