Lunduke Journal Community: Over 21,000 Comments in 2023 (so far)!
July 11, 2023

While the totally, righteously nerdy articles, podcasts, videos, books, & comics from The Lunduke Journal are awesome… possibly my favorite part of The Lunduke Journal… is the community.

On Lunduke.Locals.com we have created one of the most joyous and nerdy communities on planet Earth. A huge thank you to all of you lovely, radical nerds for making it such a fun place to hang out.

Some amazing community stats for 2023 so far:

  • 3,938 posts

  • 21,708 comments

  • 99,829 likes

And that’s just so far during 2023. It’s accelerating. Pretty freakin' rad.

If you haven’t joined the community yet. Do it. No politics. No trolls. Just a bunch of supportive, awesome nerds talking about programming and operating systems and cracking jokes about old computers.

It’s just the best. Thank you to all the nerds that make Lunduke.Locals.com such a magical place.

On a related note: You may notice that there are absolutely zero ads in Lunduke Journal articles or podcasts. Same with the community. No ads at all. This is possible thanks to all of the subscribers and supporters… you make this possible.

If you haven’t picked up a subscription yet, doing so is the best way to keep this type of independent media (and community) thriving.

One-time supports are also gladly accepted — and every bit of them goes directly to keeping things running (and expanding). The more subscriptions and one-time supports we receive during the year, the more content we can afford to release for free to the world (while still ensuring we stay 100% ad-free).

Which is pretty darned cool.

So thank you — once again — to the entire community! To the supporters and subscribers — to the active community members (and the nerdy lurkers)! You are all amazing. Couldn’t do this without ya.

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! 🤣

Heavy Metal Classical Shredding!!

[Poll] Hypothetical - "Lunduke" wins a $20 Million Lottery after he "promises to build a Great Retro Linux on Custom Hardware" - Can It Be Done? Why Would It Fail?
😬
I want to say "we" KNOW HOW to do this on a system that's limited to 4GB of RAM (32-bit Addresses with Memory Mgmt), like a Single Board Computer (SBC) with "nice" 2D Gaming on HDMI (DVI?).

Remember that "we" get to deal with Government ideas like "Operating System Age Verification Status" and other regulation to keep EVERYONE 100% Safe.

[info from Grok] There are an estimated 50,000 to over 200,000 Active Patents which cannot be freely used (i.e., that require licensing or cross-licensing to avoid infringement) to build a simple modern desktop computer.... This includes processors, memory, graphics, wireless, codecs, buses, power management, etc.... Building a truly independent, modern x86-compatible desktop from scratch is practically impossible without major corporate backing or heavy licensing deals.

"C64" & "BeOS" Lunduke Journal Lifetime Walls open!

The “TempleOS” and “Macintosh System 1” Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Walls are full! Those suckers filled up in a single week! (You can check them all out at Lunduke.com.)

But, behold! The “Commodore 64” and “BeOS R5” Walls are now available to add your names to!

  • Windows 2000 : 2 spots left

  • Commodore 64 : Space available

  • BeOS R5 : Space available

 

Those last two spots on the Windows 2000 Wall won’t last long. And, honestly, I expect the C64 Wall to by full pretty quickly.

Don’t have a Lifetime Subscription yet?

Already have a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal?

  • Email “bryan at lunduke.com” with which Wall you would like to be on, and how you’d like your name displayed (nickname, full name, etc.).

There are roughly 12 days left in June. How many Retro Computer themed Lifetime Walls can we fill up before the end of the month? Let’s find out!

Huge thank you to each and every one of you! You make The Lunduke Journal possible.

Lunduke's Week in Tech : June 7 - June 13, 2026

It has been, yet another, weird and wild week in the world of Tech and Open Source.

Filled with awesome and inspiring stories (Linux logos on Race cars!)… mixed with bizarre, Woke politics and concerning technical news.

And, as usual, all but one of the big stories this week were completely ignored by the other of the Tech News outlets.

Here are the major stories from the last week, with direct links to X and Substack. You can also watch / listen on a bunch of other platforms (Rumble, RSS Audio Podcast, etc.), listed on Lunduke.com.

  • Rust-Based Malware Hits 1.4% of Arch User Repository (X, Substack)

  • Godot Game Engine Promotes Extreme, Pro-Trans "Pronoun Palace" Game (X, Substack)

  • GNOME in Damage Control Mode After Revelations from Ex Board Member (X, Substack)

  • Proton Mail Apologizes for Sponsoring "Far Right French YouTuber" (X, Substack)

  • Ex Board Member Reveals Corruption & Dysfunction at GNOME Foundation (X, Substack)

  • AI Generated Patches to Linux Kernel Hits New Record High (X, Substack)

  • Linux Logos on Racecars (X, Substack)

  • XLibre Turns One Year Old (X, Substack)

Huge thank you to all of The Lunduke Journal’s subscribers. You make all of this possible.

TempleOS arrives on The Lunduke Journal Lifetime Wall

“When are you going to add a TempleOS Lifetime Wall??!”

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve received that request over the last few weeks. Well. What the heck! Why not?

There are now three Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Walls (displayed both on Lunduke.com and the end of all new shows) with space available:

  • Macintosh System 1

  • Windows 2000

  • TempleOS

 

A few quick notes:

  1. The Windows 2000 Wall, which was introduced only 2 days ago, is already about half way full. At the current rate, that one will likely be full by the end of the week. Still plenty of space on the Mac System 1 Wall.

  2. The discount on Lifetime Subscriptions ($125… discounted from the normal $300) runs through the end of June.

  3. One Lifetime Subscription = Name Listed on One Wall. These Walls are crazy popular and fill up super fast, so I have to put that limit in place.

  4. Want your name on more than one Lifetime Wall? Grab a second Lifetime Subscription (use the discounted rate) and you can have your name added to one of the Walls with space still available.

Massive high five to everyone who has supported The Lunduke Journal and made these retro-computer Lifetime Walls so much fun to do!
