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! 🤣

Am I psycho? I just installed Slackware and I'm really enjoying it. I used the Slackware Live to boot and install from which was a breath of fresh air. Text based installer asking questions that actually matter. Then the documentation is wonderful. It treats you like you aren't stupid but also explains why you're doing whatever you're doing so you can learn. Crazy thought, <sarcasm> teach a man to fish? How absurd. </sarcasm>
Anyways, the whole thing doesn't lock me into any choices for anything I may or may not want to use. Default state is, you decide. Heck, sudo isn't even enabled by default. (Sadly, I had to remember how we used to use Linux before sudo.)
I really, really like this. So if there is some political reason I shouldn't be using this, please, just keep your mouth shut.
Alright everyone, we're gearing up for this snow storm in the morning, so I wanted to get this one out before the fun begins. Thought this one might be right up the alleys for several of you graybeards. Enjoy!

$89 Lifetime Offer Ends at Midnight!
I’ll make this quick: The $89 Lifetime Subscription offer for The Lunduke Journal ends at midnight tonight (Saturday, January 31st).
Once the calendar reads “February” — poof — the deal is gone.
If you wanted to save 70% on a Lifetime Subscription, these are your final hours.
A huge thank you to everyone who has signed up during this crazy deal. We are this close to filling up the 4th Lifetime Subscriber Wall (there’s a possibility it might fill up in the next few hours).
Far beyond anything I was expecting. All of you are absolutely amazing. The Lunduke Journal would not be possible without you.
If you were on contemplating grabbing that Lifetime Sub, I’d jump on it right now. The price goes back up to normal ($300) in about 12 hours or so.
Get it while it’s cheap!

The End of the $89 Lifetime Sub is Nigh!
Quick reminder: The massive deal The Lunduke Journal has been running — 70%+ off Lifetime Subscriptions, 50% off all other subscriptions — ends after tomorrow (Saturday, January 31st).
Considering that, here are the steps I recommend:
Grab the $89 Lifetime Subscription before it ends tomorrow night.
High five yourself for saving money and supporting Indie Tech Journalism.
Maybe… grab a donut?
That is all.

$89 Lifetime Lunduke Subs ends this week!
Quick heads up, that the $89 Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal discount ends… at the end of this week!
Discounting Lifetime Subscriptions by over 70% was an absolute blast. So many of you took advantage of the offer that we’re now up to four Lifetime Subscriber walls at the end of every video. Crazy!
But something that awesome can’t last forever. Which means that, in just a few days, Lifetime Subscriptions will return to their regular price of $300.
With no plans to do another wild discount like that any time soon.
So.
If you haven’t already, snag an $89 (via Bitcoin) or $99 (via Substack or Locals) Lifetime Subscription.
Then let me know if you’d like to be added to the Lifetime Wall of
ShameAwesomeness.
My guess is, a the current rate, that 4th Lifetime Wall will be full by Friday.
Bonkers.
And, once again, thank you to each and every subscriber. The Lunduke Journal would not be possible without you.
