Upcoming "Sucks" events return, Live chats, and massive discounts! Huzzah!
May 11, 2023

The transition of The Lunduke Journal to Locals is off and running!

If you haven’t gotten yourself setup on Lunduke.Locals.com — I’m about to give you a bunch of new reasons to get that done… and make it ridiculously affordable at the same time.

Seriously. I don’t want anyone to be left out, so I’m making this easy and crazy affordable.

Upcoming Lunduke Journal Events

We have a dedicated events calendar over on Locals. You can check it either at Lunduke.Locals.com/events or on the Locals iOS / Android app by clicking the “Events” tab at the bottom.

A few things coming up that you’ll need a Locals account to take part in:

  • Linux Sucks 2023 (live stream and recording) - May 27th

  • macOS Sucks (live stream and recording) - June 10th

  • Plan 9 Week - Starts June 21st

More events will appear on the calendar in the coming days. So, keep an eye out!

Live Text Chats!

Now that the entire Lunduke Journal community is able to meet up in one place… we can start having regular text chats on Locals! Nobody will be left out!

No set schedule for these yet — but I’d like to start having several of these each week.

I will announce each one on Locals — and you can join in both from Lunduke.Locals.com and the Locals Android or iOS app.

In fact… I think I’ll kick off a Live Chat right now!

Let’s make moving to Locals affordable for everyone!

Over on Locals we have three unique 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.

While the Tech community is certainly the largest (and oldest) — and it is absolutely reasonable to simply grab a subscription to just Lunduke.Locals.com — how cool would it be to have access to all three?

RIGHT?!

To make that easy and affordable for everyone — while we’re undertaking this mass transition from Substack to Locals — I’m seriously discounting two subscription options that provide exactly that.

  • The Yearly Founding Member Subscription — Discounted to $75 for a full year. ($6.25 per month for three communities / publications? Awesome.)

  • The Lifetime Subscription — Discounted to $120… for life. That’s insane. Never pay again and get access to every part of The Lunduke Journal forever.

Just follow the instructions below. Super simple.

Note: If you already have a Founding or Lifetime Subscription and have not already set up your Locals accounts… simply reach out to Lunduke and you’ll get setup lickety split.

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:

 

How to get the Lifetime subscription:

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

  2. Select the “Give Once” option and enter $120 into the field.

 

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:

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 there!

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! 🤣

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.

$89 Lifetime Lunduke Subs ends this week!

Quick heads up, that the $89 Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal discount ends… at the end of this week!

Discounting Lifetime Subscriptions by over 70% was an absolute blast. So many of you took advantage of the offer that we’re now up to four Lifetime Subscriber walls at the end of every video. Crazy!

But something that awesome can’t last forever. Which means that, in just a few days, Lifetime Subscriptions will return to their regular price of $300.

With no plans to do another wild discount like that any time soon.

So.

  1. If you haven’t already, snag an $89 (via Bitcoin) or $99 (via Substack or Locals) Lifetime Subscription.

  2. Then let me know if you’d like to be added to the Lifetime Wall of Shame Awesomeness.

My guess is, a the current rate, that 4th Lifetime Wall will be full by Friday.

Bonkers.

And, once again, thank you to each and every subscriber. The Lunduke Journal would not be possible without you.

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.
