Lunduke launches sale to celebrate 10 day anniversary of "Last Sale Ever"

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.

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! 🤣

Walk through of an app and custom data set that only exist because GenAI lowered the time barrier

https://app.screencast.com/zqW0JkjJY0M4L

What was created:

  • Lesson plan tailored to my friends industry
  • Links added to the lesson plan for tutorials
  • Industry specific stories
  • Custom data architecture to support those stories
  • Realistic test data specific to the industry to bring the stories to life
  • Code that generated the test data
  • A web app with 6 pages of kpi's, charts and graphs that his PowerBI work can be compared to

My Time - 2 to 3 hours.

  • I used this project to teach myself Ralph Wiggum agentic loop so I subtracted the effort that was just me learning.

What I didn't do:

  • did not write one line of code
  • did not review the code

What I did to:

  • the entire concept from beginning to end was mine
  • the goals were mine
  • the specifications were mine
  • worked with the AI on strategy, and architecture
  • Stepped in during the debugging phase to help the AI ...

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.
