Have a special nerd in your life that would love the ultimate nerdy gift?

A gift of a Lunduke Journal subscription includes:

How to Give a Lifetime Lunduke Journal Subscription

Giving a Lifetime Subscription is a super simple process.

  1. Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/support.
  2. Click "Give Once".
  3. Enter $295 in the editable field, and checkout.
  4. Send an email to "bryan at lunduke.com" and include the following information:
    1. The name and email address of the person (or persons) you would like to gift the subscription to.
    2. Any special message you would like to be included.
    3. And what date you would like the subscription gift to be sent (via email) to the recipient.  (In case you want to schedule the gift to arrive on a particular day.)

Once you've completed those steps, a custom gift card -- in the pixel art style of the comic strips from The Lunduke Journal -- will be created and emailed to you (in case you would like to print it out to deliver it physically).  It will look something like this (each one is unique, but this gives you an idea):

An example of a gift card to The Luduke Journal.

On the date you choose, the recipient of your gift will be emailed the same pixel art gift card -- along with instructions on how to get setup on The Lunduke Journal and receive their gifted Lifetime Subscription.

Simple, right?  

F.A.Q.

Q: Can I give the gift of a Monthly or Yearly subscription?

A: For sure!  It's just not the same crazy deal.  Go to Lunduke.Locals.com and on the right-hand side of the page you will find a "Gift Subscritpion" button.  Because of the differences in how this works -- I can only do the custom pixel art gift card comics (and the access to all three sites) for the Lifetime Subscriptions done using the instructions earlier on this page.

Q: What if I want to send multiple Gift Subscriptions?

A: Simply repeat the process listed above.  Or, if you need to send several gifts, email "bryan at lunduke.com" with the details.  The process can be streamlined.

Q: How long will it take to make the custom, pixel art card?  Can it be done in a hurry?

A: It depends on the day and time of day, but it usually can be ready to send out within one day.  For sure within 48 hours.  If you need it more quickly, email "bryan at lunduke.com" and with your request and it's possible it can be sent more quickly.

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! 🤣

I'm leaving Linux already for Windows...

...well for Windows running WSL2 Linux

My Beelink linux box has a hardware problem. This same problem caused the computer to crash every day as a Windows 11 box. I bought a new Geekom tiny computer and it became my Windows 11 box (for running Windows software) and I installed Linux Mint on the Beelink.

And for two months, no crashes. Linux rules, Windows drools. Unfortunately, when I moved all my AI work to the Linux box, it started crashing almost daily. It's the box, not the OS.

But I NEED a windows box for windows software. Occasionally. So I'm going to use WSL2 with 20 of the 32gig or ram set aside for Linux.

I've been watching my ram and cpu usage on the Beelink and since all the AI I use is api calls to the cloud, I'm rally not pushing the machine much at all. The AI admins I employee tell me this plan should work.

I have the luxury of keeping the linux box going so there is no "cutover and pray". I'll have 2 systems that are equal ...

Sudocrem: for when creams with ordinary user privelages just won't cut it!

Lunduke Lifetime Discount Ends in 1 Day; Zelda, Larry, SQ, & Keen Walls Available

TL;DR: Lifetime Subscription discount ends in one day. There are currently 4 “Lifetime Walls” with space available for more names (the Oregon Trail Wall is now full).

We’ve been running a massive discount on Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriptions for the entire months of June and July. And it has been an absolute blast. There are now 21 (twenty-one!) retro computer walls overflowing with your names.

Pure insanity. Huge thank you to everyone who has supported The Lunduke Journal.

But the discounted price only runs through July 31st… and that moment is just about here.

When the calendar ticks over into August (just a hair over 24 hours from now), the Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscription price goes back to normal.

  • If the calendar still says it’s July, the Lifetime price is still discounted to $125.

  • If the calendar says August… the price returns to $300.

There are, as of this exact moment, 4 retro game themed “Lifetime Walls” which still have some space for more names (check Lunduke.com for the full list):

  1. Legend of Zelda

  2. Commander Keen 4

  3. Space Quest 4

  4. Leisure Suit Larry

Grab a discounted Lifetime Subscription (scroll down for the details), then email Lunduke (bryan at lunduke.com) with which Wall you’d like to appear on.

 

First come, first served. Once a Wall is full, it’s full. So if there’s a specific Wall you’d like to be on, don’t dilly dally.

How to Grab a Discounted Lifetime Subscription:

There are 3 different ways to pick up a Lunduke Journal Lifetime sub. All of them work great. Choose whichever works best for you!

Remember: These discounted prices go back up to normal ($300) on August 1st.

Get a Lifetime Subscription via Locals:

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

  2. Select “Give Once“.

  3. Enter “125“ into the amount field.

  4. After checking out, Lunduke will toss you an email once your account is set to full lifetime status. (This usually happens within a few hours.)

Get a Lifetime Subscription via Substack:

  1. Go to Lunduke.Substack.com/subscribe.

  2. Select the “Lifetime Subscription” option.

  3. After checking out, Lunduke will toss you an email once your account is set to full lifetime status. (This usually happens within a few hours.)

If you would also like full, Lifetime access to Lunduke.Locals.com (which is included):

  1. Make a free account on Lunduke.Locals.com.

  2. Email “bryan at lunduke.com” with the email address you use on both Substack and Locals (can be different email addresses).

  3. Lunduke will toss you an email once your account is set to full lifetime status on Locals.

Get a Lifetime Subscription with Bitcoin:

Bonus: Save an extra $10 with the Bitcoin option, as Bitcoin processing has fewer fees associated with it.

  • Email “bryan at lunduke.com” with the following information: What time you made the transaction, how much was sent (in Bitcoin), and the email address you use (or plan to use) on Locals.com or Substack.com.

Oregon Trail, Keen, & Leisure Suit Larry Lifetime Walls

Holy frijoles! There are now 20 (twenty!) Lifetime Subscriber Walls, filled with the names of roughly one bazillion Lunduke Journal supporters.

Just amazing.

Two super quick updates:

  1. The “Desqview/X”, “NeXTSetp”, & “TRS-80 Model 100” Walls are now full! (Check them out on Lunduke.com and at the end of new shows.)

  2. There are 3 new Walls available to put your John Hancock on… and, just for kicks, these ones aren’t from Classic Operating Systems… they’re Classic Games:

    1. Oregon Trail

    2. Commander Keen 4

    3. Leisure Suit Larry

 

I don’t expect space on these Walls to last long. First come first served.

A huge thank you to all of The Lunduke Journal subscribers. Your support is deeply appreciated. You make this possible.

TRS-80 Model 100 joins The Lunduke Journal Lifetime Wall party!

Buckle up, Buttercup. Because The Lunduke Journal is about to blow your mind.

  1. The “BeOS” Wall Lifetime Subscriber Wall is now full (see all of them on Lunduke.com)!

  2. We’ve added a new “TRS-80 Model 100” Wall (because we can)! That’s the 19th Lifetime Subscriber Wall! 19!

  3. The discounted Lifetime Lunduke Journal Subscriptions are still available through to the end of this month (July).

Which means there are, as of this exact moment, 4 Walls with space available (see Lunduke.com for the full list of Walls). But these fill up wicked fast.

  1. Emacs (only a few spots left)

  2. Desqview/X (a little less than 2/3rd’s full)

  3. NeXTStep (still plenty of space)

  4. TRS-80 Model 100 (just launched)

 

Nice, right?

Worth noting: The “TRS-80 Model 100” has very limited screen resolution (240 x 64), which means only a small number of names can fit on that wall. If you want on it, I’d let me know right away.

Grab a discounted Lifetime Subscription (if you don’t already have one), then let me know (email “bryan at lunduke.com”) which Wall you’d like to see your name on.

Huge high five to everyone who has already added their name to a Wall. At the current rate, we’ll have over 20 retro computer themed walls, filled with all of your names, by the end of the month.

And, doggone it, that’s amazing.
