Super sick. Huge week ahead. Oh, dear.

This illness that has hit the Lunduke home is a doozy. It's like a cold ratcheted up to 11. Seems to have hit just about every kid group in the area -- and folks are saying it tends to linger.

Yay!

We've got a big, big couple of weeks ahead of us, here at The Lunduke Journal. The debut of the "Untitled Nerdy Chat Show" and "Linux Sucks 2023". Plus some truly killer articles. I really don't want to miss any of that stuff because of this infernal virus.

So I'm making the executive decision to stop working entirely until Monday. Three days of sleep and recuperating -- with a ton of vitamins and soup.

I may hop onto Locals to post the odd funny picture or something, but I'm leaving the community mostly in your capable, nerdy hands for the next 3 days.

I have two favors to ask:

1) Post something Amiga-y to Locals. Or Linux-y. Or just funny. Keep the good times rolling (and keep me amused when I randomly hop on Locals, in-between Nyquil fueled naps).

2) Convince someone to pick up a subscription. Normally me posting articles and shows -- then sending them out into the world -- keeps the steady flow of subscriptions coming in. Being sick means the new subscriptions slow down. If you're on the fence, maybe snag one. Or nudge your nerdy buddy to jump in.

I'll keep that Lifetime Subscription for $119 deal going through the weekend since I'm sick anyway. These are the steps to snag that:

  • Go to https://lunduke.locals.com/support
  • Click "Give Once".
  • Enter $119 in the editable field, and checkout.
  • Boom. You’re done. Give it a few hours and your account will be set to full, lifetime access. (You can email “bryan at lunduke.com” with any questions.)

If you already have a subscription, just post a funny nerdy picture for me. 😅

Now, if you'll excuse me, there's a little shot glass of Nyquil with my name on it.

Can We Trust Rust?

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! 🤣

Lunduke taking Veteran's Day off

Today, we honor our veterans and their service to our nation.

Great men, like my grandfather who, during World War II, joined the Navy at 14 years old. He was a big, older-looking teenager… so, as was not unheard of, he lied about his age on the paperwork in order to go fight the Axis.

And his father, who joined in the year leading up to the start of World War I.

I am taking this Veteran’s Day off. In part to spend time helping my children learn about their family’s US military history (which goes back, on multiple lines, to the very beginning of our nation). And in part… to watch one of the greatest movies ever made, The Great Escape. Because, hey, Steve McQueen and James Garner! Pretty sure my Grandpa would approve.

Lunduke Journal shows will resume tomorrow (and I’ve got an awesome one lined up).

In the meantime, if you haven’t watched yesterday’s DHH interview yet, highly recommended. Watch (or listen) to it anywhere you like.

And, in the grand tradition of “Veterans Day Sales”, I’ve extended the 50% off all Lunduke Journal subscriptions discount through this coming Friday. Because I can. Pretty sure my Grandpa would approve of that too.
