Let's hit end of July goals: Lifetime & discounted subs!
July 30, 2023

As the glorious month of July comes to an end, The Lunduke Journal is this close to hitting our monthly goals. (Gotta have goals, right?)

There are two little targets The Lunduke Journal has left to hit by July 31st:

  1. Nudge a few more people over to NerdyEntertainment and ConservativeNerds.

  2. And add a small handful of paid subscribers to Lunduk.Locals.com.

Nothing big or crazy. But sure would be awesome to stick the landing here at the end of the month!

So, let’s stack the deck in our favor and make this happen with two little incentives:

  • Lifetime Subscriptions (for all three sites) and

  • Choose Your Own Price for individual sites

But only until the end of the day tomorrow (the 31st).

Lifetime Subscription back for 1 day: $120

The Lifetime Subscription is great. We all have a small mountain of monthly subscriptions to various services, right? This option lets people pay once… and just be done. Full access for life. Never need to pay again.

For obvious reasons, I can’t offer The Lifetime Subscription all the time. But to help give both of our remaining goals a nudge over the finish line… I’m making new Lifetime Subs available until the end of the day tomorrow (July 31st).

And they’re just $120.

And this includes full access to all three sites in The Lunduke Journal (including NerdyEntertainment and ConservativeNerds). If only a handful of you grab this, we’ll hit our July goals (seriously… we’re that close)!

How to get the Lifetime Subscription:

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

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

  3. Select “Give Once” and enter “120” in the “Amount to give” field.

  4. Then, if you want full access on the Nerdy Entertainment and Nerdy Politics sites (you do), become a Free member on each… and let Lunduke know by emailing Lunduke at bryan at lunduke.com

Boom. Easy peasy.

… or …

If you only want access to one or two of the sites — or simply aren’t ready to make a lifetime commitment — you can Choose Your Own Price below. Which is also a pretty sweet deal.

Choose Your Own Price for every part of The Lunduke Journal

Lots of options. You choose which sites you want a subscription to — and how much you want to pay. The total price is… incredibly cheap. You’re welcome. ;)

Anti-ICE Activists Mistake Programmers for ICE Agents

A few software engineers were having lunch at a deli in Minneapolis. Leftist activists thought, because they were all white, fit males, that they must be ICE agents. They used Signal to organize a mob.

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! 🤣

Advancing My Webblog by Regressing

I'm advancing my personal health blog by regressing to static pages. Regression? Yes. I'm advancing by retreating :p

I haven't been a web coder in a LONG time. I came in the wave AFTER websites were handcoded in pearl, but long before javascript. I coded pages in HTML and then with ColdFusion. Yes, I'm ancient. Web sites were built by hand coding and that was a road block for publishing.

Then came CMS - content management systems. These were a godsend. Technical users would install and configure and content creators would log in, type in their ariticles and hit publish. It was quite the innovation. I hosted sites using phpNuke, Durpal and other dinosaurs. BTW, I still think the forum software of that era are a LOT better than what we have here on Locals. I like threaded discussions, but I digress.

However, adding a database, application server and the rest of the CMS made content sites both more expensive and much more fragile. Sql injection attacks and ...

Have you ever heard the joke, "I went to a fight, and a hockey game broke out"? I've always found that hilarious, because (a) I never fought anyone when I played, not even my brothers; but (b) when I got stranded in a place where there are no rinks, I ended up filling the gap by getting into martial arts. 😆

But with @leebase talking up how AI is helping speed up his work so much (and btw dude, kudos, that is awesome), I got to thinking... how much faster could it make me? And more importantly, would the quality of the code be as good as what I would write myself? I have to find out. So tonight, I'm standing up to the big goon from Big Tech. I want to see, how much better would I do with AI on my team?

The challenge: Coding a C64 game

It's been way, WAY too long since I coded a new game. Oh, I've made many attempts - a sequel to Darkest Hour, an outer-space-themed game for my Star Trek loving best friend, and numerous shorter VIC-20 title (one of which I did actually finish, kinda, ...

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.

Lunduke's Lifetime Subscriber Wall 3 is almost full!

Holy moly.

This afternoon I sat down to update the 3rd Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber wall — adding in all of you who sent in requests over the last week or so.

And, boy howdy, were there a lot of you! So many, in fact, that the 3rd Lifetime Wall only has room for around 6 or 7 more names (depending on the name lengths)! That’s crazy!

If you want to make it onto “The Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber” Wall number 3… send me an email (bryan at lunduke.com) with the way you would like your name to be displayed.

Or, if you’re not already a Lifetime Subscriber, remedy that for $89. (Which, you know, is a pretty gosh darned good value.) … Then send me that email requesting to be added to the wall.

Once Wall 3 is full, we’ll start in on Wall number 4 (that’s nuts). At the current rate, I expect Wall 4 to debut this week.

And, as always, thank you for your support. Whatever kind of subscription you have, it is deeply appreciated. Monthly, Yearly, or Lifetime. All are amazing. You make The Lunduke Journal possible.

You rule.

Lunduke Out Sick Tomorrow

I’ve got the flu (or something else yucky) and need to take the day off tomorrow.

But I don’t really have a normal “boss” to email. Heck, all of you are sort of like my collective boss.

So I’m emailing you:

Boss, *cough cough* Lunduke is out sick tomorrow.

Which means no new shows on Wednesday. Hoping to rest up and be back with new shows on Thursday.

If you’ve missed any shows over the last few weeks, now’s a good chance to catch up.

And feel free to grab one of those fancy-shmancy $89 Lifetime Subscriptions while you’re at it. That won’t make my flu go away any faster… but it definitely won’t hurt.

Unrelated note: Buying stock in Nyquil might not be a bad idea. I think I’m about to increase their profits.
