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. ;)

The Commodore Smartphone Blocks Social Media & Browsers

An official Commodore flip phone. Which runs Android. But purposefully blocks Web Browsers and Social Media Apps. And disabled Touchscreen. For $550. Seriously.

And, yes. I misspelled "smartphone" in the title. Typing is hard.

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! 🤣

California passes new 10% on pre-written software sales.

The second tax increase would impose a new sales tax on digital software, including programs like Microsoft Office, QuickBooks, Slack, and Workday. This tax, starting at 7.25%, could vary depending on the region of California where the software is purchased or used. The measure is projected to bring in approximately $900 million annually for the state’s general fund.

Over the years, Microsoft has made people angry. 😡 However, here is a case where "Microsoft Security Response Center" (MSRC) has made someone VERY ANGRY, and some of Microsoft's "failures" (aka. Negligent CyberSecurity Practices) are being put on the Internet for All to see.

"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!
