Important: Lunduke's Substack shutting down soon! Get to Lunduke's Locals!
July 11, 2023
Note: This is being posted to Lunduke.Substack.com.  Posting it here so that all of you already on Locals know what is happening to Substack... and can also take advantage of the sale.  Don't want anyone to miss out.
 
 

This is absolutely critical: Very soon Lunduke.Substack.com will be shutting down! Replaced entirely by Lunduke.Locals.com!

That is already where all of the nerdy articles, podcasts, videos, books, & comics are being published. Locals is where the nerdy party is at!

And I am going to offer an absolutely insane deal to get all of you over there! Right now.

The Crazy Ridiculous Deal

Seriously. Everyone needs to get over to Lunduke.Locals.com. Stat. The time for hemming and hawing is over!

So here is a deal that is absolutely too good to pass up. Is it too cheap? Probably!

Standard Lunduke Journal of Technology subscription:

  • Monthly Subscription - $5 $3

  • Yearly Subscription - $45 $27 ($2.25 / month)

Yeah. $2.25 per month. Considering how much you get — and the amazing community you gain access to — that is stupidly cheap.

But it gets better…

Lunduke Funding Member Pass (all 3 sites together - Technology, Nerdy Entertainment, Nerdy Politics):

Yearly - $60 ($1.66 / month / site)

Want all three of the sites in The Lunduke Journal family? Only costs $1.66 per month per site.

How to get the Founding Member Pass on sale:

  1. Get a free subscription at Lunduke.Locals.com.

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

  3. Select “Annual” and enter “60” in the “Amount to give per year” field.

  4. Then, if you want full access on the Nerdy Entertainment and Nerdy Politics sites, become a Free member on each… and let Lunduke know by either:

    • Sending Lunduke a private message on Lunduke.Locals.com or

    • Emailing Lunduke at [email protected]

Lunduke will then set up your accounts and let you know (usually only takes a few hours). Easy peasy.

Founding Member Pass gives full access to all 3 of the following sites:

  1. "The Lunduke Journal of Technology" - Computer history, news, opinion, & satire.  Covering everything form Linux & UNIX to Amiga & DOS.

  2. "The Lunduke Journal of Nerdy Entertainment & Retro Delights" - Nerdy entertainment, spanning all genres, mediums, and eras.

  3. "The Lunduke Journal of Conservative Nerdiness" - The only place in The Lunduke Journal world where politics are allowed.  Politics... from a nerdy perspective.

GET TO THE CHOPPAH!

I’m not joking. Lunduke.Substack.com is being replaced by Lunduke.Locals.com.

Right now.

The Lunduke Journal’s move over to Lunduke.Locals.com has been absolutely amazing.

The nerdy articles, podcasts, videos, books, & comics have continued to flow — and the community has grown in wonderful ways. Thousands and thousands of nerdy comments — every month — from all of you. It is the best, nerdiest place to hang out on the Internet, bar none.

But there’s still a bunch of you still stuck over on Substack! If you’re not on Locals, you’re missing out on so much! And, I’m not kidding around here, Lunduke’s Substack will be going away entirely!

Like… very, very quickly!

As soon as Lunduke.Substack.com shuts down 

F.A.Q.

Q: I already have a Founding Member of Lifetime Subscription via Substack. Can that be transferred to a Locals account?

A: Yes! Email [email protected] with your account email address and I can get it all set for you!

Q: I have a Yearly Standard Subscription via Substack! What should I do?

A: If you have recently renewed (or created) your yearly subscription on Substack, create a free account on Lunduke.Locals.com then email [email protected] and I can help you finish getting transferred over! Super easy!

Q: Where do I find all of the content (the articles, podcasts, and whatnot) over on Locals?

A: All of the content is in a single place: Lunduke.Locals.com/content. Sortable, searchable, and organized by type (video, pdf, article, etc.). It works both from the website as well as the Locals Android or iOS app.

Q: How long do we have before the Substack is shut down?

A: Days. This is going to happen quickly. This is something we’ve been working towards for quite a while… and this is the finish line. Seriously. Get to the choppa.

Q: What if I want to pay more to support The Lunduke Journal?

A: A few people have asked if they can pay a little extra in order to support the independent tech voice at The Lunduke Journal. While this is most definitely not required (or expected), it is very much appreciated! Running a tech publication — with absolutely zero advertising — can certainly be a challenge! When you do an Annual or Monthly membership, you can edit the amount field to have any number you like!

Q: But I don’t want to create an account on another site! WHY!?!?!

A: I get it. We all have too many accounts, on too many sites, as it is! But this is worth it. We have built an amazing community at Lunduke.Locals.com — the best I have ever seen. And the developers of Locals have been incredibly helpful… we have regular meetings with their developers and managers to make sure we have all the features we need. Both as a publication and a community. There is, quite simply, no better place for us to run a Tech Publication that is 100% free from the influence and censorship of Big Tech. Seriously. It’s worth it.

Q: I have a free account on Substack. Is there something similar for Locals?

A: Yes! Just create a free account on Lunduke.Locals.com! You may miss out on some things (including most podcasts, all of the books, all of the videos, and some of the articles… plus you won’t be able to write your own posts)… but at least you’ll be able to read the free articles and posts and see when the events are happening!

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 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 “Veterans Day Sales”, 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.
