A bunch of reminders and tips for all you amazing Lunduke Journal subscribers

Here are a bunch of tips, links, and answers to Frequently Asked Questions. Because answering them all at once is easier. 🤣


Q: Is there an RSS feed for the podcasts or articles

A: No. Not currently. I am working on a solution for this but, in the meantime, the best way to enjoy the latest episodes is either via the Locals app (there is a "Content" button at the bottom) or the Locals website at the following links:

Again, there will be an RSS feed soon (no ETA, but I'm working on it). But the recommended way to get my shows is via the Locals app or website.


Q: I have both a Locals and Substack subscription. What do I do?

A: If you have both a Locals and Substack subscription, be sure to unsubscribe over on Substack so you don't get double-charged.

If you forget to do that and get double charged, I can totally get you a refund. But it's a royal pain the butt and I end up losing money in the process. So. You know. Don't forget. šŸ˜Ž


Q: I sent you an email! Did you get it?

A: Probably! Maybe! The truth is I am way behind in correspondence. As of this exact moment there are 60,810 unread emails in my Inbox. By the end of the day that number will likely be much larger. Seriously. It's bonkers. I almost need an assistant just for email. So don't take it personally if it takes me forever to respond. Likewise, if you are expecting a response from me... be patient. I'll do my best. šŸ˜‰


Q: Is the "Founding Member" subscription still a thing?

A: Yes! For sure! If you have an existing annual Founding Member subscription (or a Lifetime Subscription) you can get full access to all three of the Locals communities I run (Lunduke, NerdyEntertainment, & ConservativeNerds).

If you are looking to get one of those subscriptions, sit tight. I'll be updating the instructions and details for those this coming Friday.


Q: I remember you did a specific video many years ago. Where is that?

A: Some of the "Lunduke Video Archive of Awesomeness" has been ported over here to Locals (again, you can find that in the Content section). But there are still many videos (often dating back a decade or more) that haven't been posted to Locals yet. I do those in bits and pieces. But if you have a specific request, post it here and I'll do my best to prioritize those. (There are, literally, thousands of hours of videos and podcasts... so it is a hefty task.)


Q: When does Linux Sucks 2023 come out?

A: It's going to be a live (in person) show. I expect to be able to announce date and location very soon. It will also be live-streamed here on Locals... and then available for on-demand watching on Locals (just as we did with the recent "macOS Sucks" ). There are also a few live-stream, big events (like the "Sucks" shows) coming up. Because those are just plain fun to do.


Q: Will you post your shows to YouTube / Odysee / etc / etc?

A: Not likely. I may occasionally post a video to YouTube (mostly to remind YouTube users to come on over to Locals) and Rumble. But that's about it. I like it here on Locals. This is the one-stop-shop for everything I do.


Q: There is an issue with my Founding Member or Lifetime subscription, who do I contact?

A: As behind as I am on email... contacting me ([email protected]) is the easiest. Or message me here on Lunduke.Locals.com. The way we administer the Founding or Lifetime subs means that the Locals support team really can't help... they'll forward your request on to me anyway. 🤣 But if you have a standard Monthly or Yearly Locals subscription, you can contact Locals support crew directly.


Q: There's a bug in Locals! Something isn't displaying correctly! Podcasts won't load! Notifications went crazy! Who do I contact?

A: If you encounter a bug in Locals, I recommend making a post here on Lunduke.Locals.com. That way we can see if it's impacting anyone else, find repro steps, and then I can provide the Locals crew with enough details that they can better be set to fix the problem. I've found that, if we do that, they tend to have fixes in place in a matter of days (often hours). The Locals team is pretty fantastic like that.


Q: Where is the telnet BBS?!

A: The House of Lunduke BBS is currently off-line. It's been off-line for a while. Which makes me sad. The good news is that it will be returning. Which makes me happy. Because I miss getting my daily dose of TradeWars and LORD. šŸ˜Ž (No ETA on that. The BBS is a lower priority than a few other short-term projects... but it'll happen.)

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! 🤣

There are 3 certainties in Tech. One of them is 50% off Lunduke Journal subscriptions today.

Life is filled with uncertainties.

  • Will Valve’s new Steam Machine be reasonably priced?

  • When will Microsoft replace the Windows Calculator with an AI chatbot?

  • Will The Lunduke Journal have a sale next week?

Do you know the answers to any of those questions? Shoot. I sure don’t!

But, within the Tech Industry, there are 3 certainties:

  1. There will be more bugs found in the Rust Core Utility clones.

  2. GNOME will say something stupid before the day ends.

  3. And The Lunduke Journal is having a sale right now.

Why take chances? Embrace what you know for certain and grab a Lunduke Journal subscription, right now, for 50% off.

$3 / Month. Or $27 / Year (which works out to… [does math]… $2.25 / Month). Or $150 for Life (seriously… for life).

Which will then give you all of the perks:

  • DRM-Free MP4 Downloads of all videos.

  • Full access to the exclusive forum.

  • And a bunch of nerdy eBooks.

50% off subscriptions lasts through Friday (November 14th).

Maybe the sale will be extended. Maybe another sale will happen again in the future.

Then again… maybe not.

Can you really take that chance?

Lunduke Journal Update: Nov 12, 2025

Just a few quick Lunduke Journal-y tidbits on this fine Wednesday afternoon!

  1. Two fascinating interviews this week: DHH and Preston Byrne (the attorney for 4chan). Both are worth catching if you haven’t already.

  2. The 50% off Subscriptions deal has been extended through this Friday (Nov 14th). So many of you kept picking up new subscriptions… I figured… what the heck! Why not keep the party going? So Monthly, Yearly, and Lifetime subs are all half off at least through Friday!

  3. The ā€œLifetime Subscriber Wallā€ isn’t part of today’s (November 12th) shows. There have been so many requests to be added to the wall this week that I need to update the design a bit to fit everybody. The Lifetime Wall will re-appear at the end of new shows tomorrow or Friday.

Once again, thank you for your support! None of this would be possible without you!

Lunduke taking Veteran's Day off

Today, we honor our veterans and their service to our nation.

Great men, like my grandfather who, during World War II, joined the Navy at 14 years old. He was a big, older-looking teenager… so, as was not unheard of, he lied about his age on the paperwork in order to go fight the Axis.

And his father, who joined in the year leading up to the start of World War I.

I am taking this Veteran’s Day off. In part to spend time helping my children learn about their family’s US military history (which goes back, on multiple lines, to the very beginning of our nation). And in part… to watch one of the greatest movies ever made, The Great Escape. Because, hey, Steve McQueen and James Garner! Pretty sure my Grandpa would approve.

Lunduke Journal shows will resume tomorrow (and I’ve got an awesome one lined up).

In the meantime, if you haven’t watched yesterday’s DHH interview yet, highly recommended. Watch (or listen) to it anywhere you like.

And, in the grand tradition of ā€œVeterans Day Salesā€, I’ve extended the 50% off all Lunduke Journal subscriptions discount through this coming Friday. Because I can. Pretty sure my Grandpa would approve of that too.
