This afternoon, The Lunduke Journal has announced a new sale to celebrate the 10 day anniversary of the ending of "The Very Last Sale Ever".

"It's hard to believe that our last sale, ever, was only 10 days ago," stated Lunduke, Editor Supreme of The Lunduke Journal.  "Feels like just last week.  My, how time flies."

"Wow, this is big," exclaimed one Lunduke Journal fan with short term memory disorder. "I've never seen a sale like this!  Where am I?"

"I was starting to get a little worried," stated another Lunduke Journal subscriber.  "Anything over 7 days without a Lunduke Journal Subscription Sale feels unnatural.  It's... just wrong."

"If there's a sale going on, it's a good idea to jump on that," said Lunduke.  "You never know when another one will come along.  You may be waiting 5 days... a week... who knows!"

According to an anonymous Lunduke Journal insider, this sale will last an unknown amount of time and may or may not change unexpectedly based entirely on the whims of Lunduke.  "He's a loose cannon," stated the insider.  "At least three times a day he jumps up, shouts 'Eureka!', and does something weird.  Someone.  Please.  Save us."

About The Lunduke Journal: Lunduke became a household name thanks to his "Linux Sucks" series, which officially came to an end in 2017 with the final entry in the franchise entitled, "Linux Sucks - For the Last Time".  Since the Linux Sucks series ended, it has been a popular event, with new releases every year.  Contrary to popular belief, Lunduke has not launched a line of delicious meats and cheeses.  Do not go looking for them.

F.A.Q.

Q: Wait.  Is there actually a sale happening or is this just a piece of satire?

A: Yes.

Q: Yes... there is a sale?  Or yes, this is satire?

A: Both.  Yes.

Q: So there is a sale?

A: Absolutely.

Q: Isn't this a weird way to do a sale?

A: Probably.

Q: Shouldn't you tell people about the details of the sale?

A: Shrug.  I guess.  Go to Lunduke.com.  Aka "Lunduke Link Central (tm)".  All of the sale details are there.

Q: Um.  You're not going to make a sales pitch or anything?  You know.  "Blah blah blah such a great deal blah blah here's what you get" type stuff?

A: Nah.  I'm good.  Just go to the link if you're interested.

Q: Shouldn't you put that link up at the top of this article?  Or at least, I dunno, link to it more than once or something?

A: I guess I could.  But then I'd need to add in another hyperlink... and my Ctrl-V fingers are tired.  Just.  You know.  Find the link up there.  Then click it or something.

Q: Hey, wait a second.  Weren't you a Marketing executive?  Shouldn't you come up with better marketing than this?

A: Lol.  Yeah.  People make weird hiring decisions.

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! 🤣

"Andreas Kling creator of Serenity OS & Ladybird Web Browser" - Lunduke’s Big Tech Show - September 13th, 2023 - Ep 044

Hey y’all, long time no see. I was thinking about something yesterday that really kind of confused me.

The Librem 5 still exists, it still costs $800, and it still has specs from 10 years ago. What the heckity heck is up with that?

Like I understand that there’s more to experience than specs, but these things have got to cost so, so much less to manufacture at this point. What is Purism doing? They just released their first video in a year about a week ago, and it was to announce a thrilling new feature to the 5-ish year old device: a sound recorder. What???

I have been diving down the rabbit hole of dumb phones, and I thought the Librem 5 might be a happy medium in that it would introduce enough friction between me and the attention-sucking apps, but at $800??? And they’re still selling the promise of “continuity” or whatever they call the ability to dock the phone and use it as a computer? I’m just confused.

Does anybody have any insight here? Am I missing something? Is ...

I created a goal on my Ko-Fi to buy an external hard drive to store computer magazines, so I don't have to rely on the Internet Archive and save space on my laptop. It's going to be cheaper than running a server (my previous idea). I need your help archiving this important part of PC history.

Lunduke's Nerdy Q&A, Lifetime Sub for $89

Two quick tidbits on this glorious Sunday:

Reminder: $89 Lifetime Subscriptions

Lifetime Subscriptions to The Lunduke Journal are currently discounted to $89. For life. Which is… insane. That’s less than 1/3rd of the regular price.

Monthly and Yearly subscriptions are 50% off. Which is also pretty darned snazzy.

Submit Questions for Lunduke’s Nerdy Q&A!

On Tuesday I will be recording a long-overdue episode of “Lunduke’s Nerdy Q&A”.

Got questions you’d like asked in the show? No guarantees, but I’ll get to as many as I can!

Retro computing. Current computer news. Ridiculous hypotheticals. Any question is fair game... just make sure it’s good and nerdy.

To make it simple for me, there are two ways you can submit questions for this week’s Q&A:

  1. Add a comment to this thread on Forum.Lunduke.com.

  2. Reply to this thread over on X.

  3. Ok. I lied.  There are three ways.  You can also reply to this post, right here, on Locals.

Note: Only Lunduke Journal subscribers can access to Forum.Lunduke.com. All of the details on how to gain access are on the Lunduke Journal Subscriber Perks page.

The FOMO of not having a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal

Time for some Fun Lunduke Journal Facts of Fact-ly-ness!

  1. The “per-month” cost of a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal is an asymptotic line. The longer you have that subscription, the closer it gets to $0.00.

  2. The Lifetime Subscription was first introduced 3 1/2 years ago… and is still going strong.

  3. The price of a Lifetime Subscription is currently discounted to $89. For life. That’s less than 1/3rd the normal price.

The earlier you pick one up, the quicker that asymptotic line begins approaching zero. Which is fun.

We Don’t Have Time Machines

If you think you might ever want a Lifetime Subscription, now is the time.

Imagine missing this discounted price and missing out on months of, mathematically certain, asymptotic line fun. This is one of those scenarios where Future You (tm) would want to travel back in time to tell Present You (tm) to snag a Lifetime Subscription.

Go. Grab the Lifetime Subscription for $89. That deal is good all December long.

There’s a video of me yammering about it too. Just for good measure.

You’re welcome.
