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 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! 🤣

DHH +Omarchy means a very vocal Linux distro that pushes back against the insanity that has invested the open source world.

Omarchy IS a distro. They have their own repo mirrors (2 of them, in fact), an ISO, etc. Did you know that Ubuntu and Fedora both started out as after install scripts, similar to how Omarchy did on Arch?

Omarchy's repos are protected by cloudflare, and not in some universities server closet.

On top of this, if things break on it, there is a team of impassioned people and I include myself, that want to fix it, and stop the good enough excuse that Linux has from continuing. Hopefully one day there will be an option to use Xlibre with a X based tiling manager that is as flexible as Hyprland is, but I honestly have not been so happy on my computer with an OS for a long time.

Omarchy is digital sovereignty. It is your system, to be celebrated and championed. The way computers should be. Here is the full video from Omacon. DHH's opening comments are awesome. All ...

Hey good people. I'm currently a lifetime subscribers but it seems I need a referral link to join the forum.lunduke.com . I wanted to see if I could get one plzz. Lunduke himself can verify me if needed. Thx!

Last call for the "Amiga" Lifetime Subscriber Wall. It's almost full!

Holy smokes, that was fast.

The 6th Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Wall (aka the “Amiga OS 3.1” Wall) was introduced… what… a week ago?

I kid you not, the darn thing is already almost full! I was wildly unprepared for how popular this would be!

There’s enough space left for maybe 5 or 6 more names. Tops. Then I’ve gotta declare “Wall 6 (Amiga) is Full” and start Wall Number 7!

Here’s what all of the Lifetime Subscriber Walls look like (each shown at the end of every Lunduke Journal video):

 

If you want to get onto the Lifetime Subscriber Wall (and have any chance of making it onto the Amiga Wall before it’s full) here’s what you need to do (and do it quickly):

  1. Grab a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal (if you don’t already have one).

    1. A Lifetime Sub includes all the standard perks (plus a few) and can be picked up via Locals, Substack, or Bitcoin (whichever you prefer).

  2. Email “bryan at lunduke.com” and let me know how you would like your name displayed (“Joe A.”, “Joseph Arnold”, “JoeyPants”, “SirJJMcManly”, etc.)

It’s first come, first served.

If you’ve already emailed me about being added to the wall, your spot is secured.

For the rest of you: Chop chop. At the current rate, I would be very surprised if the “Amiga Wall” wasn’t full by some time this weekend.

“Lifetime Wall 7” will be unveiled after the final name is added to the Amiga Wall. And, yes, it will be a different (awesome) retro computing platform.

As always, a huge thank you to every subscriber to The Lunduke Journal. Absolutely none of this would be possible without your support.

Amiga Lifetime Wall & March Lunduke Journal Stats!

Hello all of you amazing Lunduke Journal subscribers!

With March now behind us, I wanted to give you crazy kids a quick “behind the scenes” look at the stats for The Lunduke Journal. Because Inside Baseball stuff is fun.

The Amiga Wall!

But before we dive into charts and numbers… behold! The brand new 6th Lifetime Subscriber Wall of Shame Awesomeness! The AmigaOS 3.1 Wall!

 

Every Lifetime Subscriber Wall (which I show at the end of each video) is a real screenshot from a different computing platform. Mostly retro. All awesome.

 

If you’d like to see your name listed on the new AmigaOS 3.1 wall, grab a Lifetime Subscription (if you don’t already have one) and toss me an email. I update the walls about once each week with new names.

The last few Lifetime Walls filled up incredibly quickly. So if the Amiga Wall interests you, I wouldn’t wait too long. Hint, hint.

March 2026 Stats

The big news: Total “views” were way, way up in March.

A fair bit beyond what was anticipated. A hair over 19 million during the month.

 

That’s in total, across all platforms. As usual, the audio podcast and X lead the way in terms of total views/listens for shows (by quite a lot).

Interestingly, we saw significant “views” growth on even the smallest platforms in March (Facebook and TikTok).

Free subscribers also took a major jump in March, with the largest one month gains ever (I’m pretty sure, certainly the largest this year or last). Up 7,623 over the month before.

 

Again, new subscribers grew across the board. The biggest gains were seen on X, but all platforms saw a significant bump.

Hard to complain about that!

The top 3 shows for March were all focused on the Age Verification laws:

While those were the top 3… it’s worth noting that the top 10 (and, really, the top 15 or so) shows for the month were all incredibly close in terms of viewership numbers.

As always, a huge thank you to all of The Lunduke Journal subscribers. You make all of this possible.

Lifetime Wall Number 6, Plus How to Access MP4s & Forum

A few quick reminders for all of you amazing Lunduke Journal subscribers:

First: If you have any kind of payed subscription (Monthly, Yearly, or Lifetime) there are a bunch of cool perks available to you. MP4 Downloads, PDF eBooks, and access to the Lunduke Journal Forum. All the details on how to gain access to everything is right here.

Enjoy.

Second: At the end of this next week I’ll be unveiling “Lifetime Subscriber Wall of Shame” number Six at the end of all new Lunduke Journal videos.

 

At that same time I will be updating and permanently locking down Walls 1 through 5.

If you are already a Lifetime Subscriber, and would like to be added to the new Wall number 6 (or to one of the couple remaining spots on Walls 4 and 5), email me (bryan at lunduke.com) with how you would like your name to be displayed (full name, first name only, nick name… any way you like).

  1. CRT Linux Pico Wall: Full

  2. DOS Word Wall: Full

  3. Win 3.11 Notepad Wall: Full

  4. MacOS 9 Wall: 2 Spots Left

  5. PalmOS Wall: 1 Spot Left

  6. Mystery Wall: Open

Those final spots on the MacOS and PalmOS Walls are first come first served. The first people to request those spots get them.

Everyone else will roll over into Wall 6. Which is a secret, retro computer platform. You’ll dig it.

If you have already contacted me regarding being added to one of these walls (or changing the way your name is displayed), I’ve already got you on the list for the changes later this next week.

If you don’t already have a Lifetime Subscription, grab one and get yourself on the wall.

It’s pretty sweet.
