Here's the deal:

The Lunduke Journal has sworn off sales and discounts.  But, in order to remain 100% Big Tech and advertiser free, we still need a steady stream of new subscribers signing up.

So.  Today, we're having a special event -- to remind you exactly why you want -- nay, need -- to grab your very own subscription.

I call it the "Don't Make Lunduke Have a Sale" Not-a-Sale-a-Palooza.

Catchy, right?  Make sure you scroll all the way down.  There's some good stuff in here.

First... How to grab your subscription!

So many ways to support independent Tech Journalism.

You can grab the standard Monthly or Yearly subscription for each, individual site here:

Or you can grab a Yearly Triple Pass (which includes all three of those sites), by following these handy-dandy steps:

  1. Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/support.
  2. Click "Subscribe".
  3. Enter $105 in the editable field.
  4. Lunduke will then grant you full access across all three sites.

Want a Lifetime Triple Pass?  One that never expires?  Boom!  This is how you do it:

  1. Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/support.
  2. Click "Give Once".
  3. Enter $335 in the editable field.
  4. Lunduke will then grant you full access across all three sites.  For life.

Let's visualize, shall we?

Take a quick moment to realize what an absolutely insane deal it is to grab that Triple Pass.

Here's a bar chart which compares the standard monthly cost (for each of the three sites in The Lunduke Journal) to the cost of grabbing a Triple Pass.  Especially that Lifetime Triple Pass... hot diggity that's a good deal!

THAT IS SO CRAZY.

Yeah.  Bonkers.

Still not convinced?  Keep reading, my nerd!

So many radical reasons to subscribe!

Here's a 5 reasons why grabbing your subscription is the best idea you'll have all year:

  1. Support independent Tech Journalism is a good thing (have you seen the articles we publish?!).
  2. Full access to the searchable, sortable content archive (articles, PDFS, videos, the works).
  3. The ability to post and comment within The Lunduke Journal community.
  4. Access to the super-triple-secret Discord Server.
  5. Triple Pass Only: Get a custom Pixel Art comic character designed based on you.  Use it as an avatar!
That's right.  Triple Pass subscribers get their very own Pixel Art comic character.

Awesome, right?

Keep The Lunduke Journal rockin'.

Scroll up.  Pick the subscription type that makes the most sense to you.

  • Keep The Lunduke Journal running.
  • Keep it free from advertisements and Big Tech influence.
  • Keep it free from sales.
  • And, if enough subscriptions roll in, help The Lunduke Journal expand just a little -- to include some production help.

None of this would be possible without your support.  You are the key that makes The Lunduke Journal one of the most unique publications in the Tech world.

If you haven't already, grab that subscription.  Do it today.

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! 🤣

A Quest Diagnostics servar was just hacked using AI. A service providing medical records and billing data has leaked an unknown number of records and personal data.

This is the future. The UK is warning citizens about crippling cyberattacks that are now possible thanks to AI.

Welcome to the chaos when any script kiddie can make millions stealing medical data.

LCOS 0.9.3 has Landed! Plus: How to Help.

The Lunduke Computer Operating System (LCOS) is flying towards the official, 1.0 release — with version 0.9.3 now available for testing!

Between now and 1.0, LCOS is laser focused on a) fixing bugs and b) making sure it runs (and runs well) on as much hardware as possible.

Right now, LCOS needs your help. Here’s how:

  1. Test the latest LCOS release on your hardware. Hit any snags? Report them on GitHub, the Lunduke Forum, or via DM on X.

  2. Donate to LCOS (and The Lunduke Journal), so that we can expand our hardware testing lab (among other expenses).

If you haven’t already, watch the LCOS Roadmap video, to get an idea for where we’re heading (in 1.0 and beyond).

Then check out this page, for details on how to support LCOS & The Lunduke Journal (and get your name on the LCOS 1.0 About window in the process).

A huge thank you to everyone who has already contributed (in both ways)! With your help, we are making LCOS into the best gosh darned system in all the land.

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.
