December at The Lunduke Journal. It's gonna be a fun ride.
November 25, 2023

2023 has been one heck of a fun year at The Lunduke Journal.

  • We’ve published some of the most hard-hitting journalism in the Tech world — on Wikimedia, Mozilla, The Linux Foundation, Open Source, and so many other companies and topics.

  • We’ve had some great podcasts and videos — including the “macOS Sucks” event.

  • We’ve consolidated all of The Lunduke Journal content (every video, article, and more) onto one, freedom-loving platform: Locals.com. (Leaving Patreon, Substack, YouTube, and others mostly behind.)

What will December hold? How will The Lunduke Journal finish out this wild year?

In the most “Lunduke Journal-y Way” possible.

  • Publishing multiple deep, investigative articles which have been in the works for several months — and which will be talked about for years to come.

  • Amiga Week” kicks off on December 6th. An entire week with a special focus on Amiga (and Amiga inspired systems).

  • The “Linux Suck 2023” event. Live streamed (and on-demand).

  • And, of course, a healthy dose of podcasts, comics, satire, and articles.

Yeah. December is going to be one heck of a grand finale for what was already an incredible year.

A huge thanks to all of you amazing subscribers who make everything possible — couldn’t do this without you!

On that note: The biggest events coming up in December will all be subscriber-only (or, in a few cases, subscriber-first). Including “Linux Sucks 2023” and some articles that everyone is going to be talking about.

If you don’t have a subscription yet: Get one. If it’s still Saturday (November 25th), you can grab a Lifetime deal that’s absolutely insane. After Saturday, the prices go back up.

But December isn’t here quite yet. For the last few days of November, we’re going to have some fun.

  • Monday, November 27th, we’ll be doing an “Ask Lunduke” show.

  • Tuesday, November 28th, there will be a live stream — recording a regular podcast, plus a live chatroom hangout.

  • And plenty of comics, satire, and fun throughout the final days of November.

See you on Monday, you amazing smelling nerds.

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! 🤣

Someone’s in the process of building a new X server in Zig.

After 20 years together (18 years married), I was finally able to get my lovely wife to watch Die Hard. She never had any interest because of how violent it was, but for whatever reason she was open to it this Christmas. I’m happy to report that she loved it! Yippee-ki-yay everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and have a happy New Year.

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.
