Through tomorrow (Saturday, June 1st), we’re running “The Increasingly Rare Lunduke Journal 48 Hour Mega Fundraiser Event”.

Want to help support the work of The Lunduke Journal?  Now's a great time to do it.  And, by request, we’re making new Lifetime Subscriptions available only during this fundraising event.

Huge thank you to everyone who has already picked up subscriptions or donated in other ways. You make all of this possible — without you, independent Tech Journalism couldn’t exist. You rule.

Buckle up, Buttercup.  It's funny picture time.

The Lunduke Journal is a pretty unique publication.

• No annoying ads.  None at all.
• We take no money from any company (no Big Tech influence).
• And we tackle the topics no other Tech News outlet is willing to cover (plus a healthy dose of computer history and nerdy fun to keep things balanced).

None of which would be possible without nerds, like you, subscribing to The Lunduke Journal.

To keep the lights on, we are having one of our, increasingly rare, big promotions.  Looking to support the work of The Lunduke Journal?  Now's the time.

From now through Saturday, June 1st, 2024 (the next 2 days), we are making available the popular "Lifetime Subscription"... as well as a few extra perks for new Annual and Lifetime Subscribers (free copies of all Linux Tycoon games, and a DRM-free download of Linux Sucks 2024).

Lifetime Subscriptions Available!

We used to offer Lifetime Subscriptions here at The Lunduke Journal -- pay once, get full access for life.

Then we stopped.  Many of you have asked if you could still get one of those fancy-shmancy Lifetime Subscriptions.  I've had to turn all of you down.

Well, now's your chance.

For the next ~48 hours (through Saturday, June 1st, 2024), you can pick up a full Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal for $200.

Here's how to do it:

1. Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/support.
2. Choose the "Give Once" option.
3. Enter $200 into the amount field.
4. Boom.  Lifetime access.

(Note: You will be notified that you will receive "One Month" of access to Lunduke.Locals.com.  Ignore this.  On the backend, Lunduke will use his magic to turn your account into a Lifetime one.  This usually takes less than an hour, during "Lunduke is awake" hours.) 

Yes.  You can use Bitcoin for that.

While The Lunduke Journal doesn't normally accept Bitcoin... for the next 48 hours we do.  But only for Lifetime Subscriptions.

Here's how to get a Lifetime Subscription with Bitcoin:

1. Make sure you have a Lunduke.Locals.com account (a free account works just fine).

2. Send $200 worth of Bitcoin to the following address:

bc1qyjakve8fywm8pz2v99v57yhjj0vzr2vjze6fcq

3. Email "[email protected]" 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.

Here's a handy-dandy QR code you can scan that also has a Bitcoin Wallet Address for The Lunduke Journal:

Linux Tycoon & Downloadable Linux Sucks 2024!

Here's an extra little bonus:

If you grab a new Annual Subscription or Lifetime Subscription, you will also receive a coupon code for a free copy of the following:

• The Linux Tycoon Mega Collection (for Linux, Windows, & DOS)
• The DRM-Free, downloadable version of "Linux Sucks 2024"

Note: All Lunduke Journal subscribers have full access to watch every "Linux Sucks" video ever made.  Even free subscribers get that.  But not everyone gets a DRM-free MP4 download which you can then backup or watch on any off-line device.  Which is nifty.

Note 2: You will receive the coupon codes -- redeemable via Itch.io -- for these two items, via email, within 24 hours after you setup your subscription.  Most of you will receive the coupon codes within an hour or two.

Note 3: Just a reminder... this is not available with the standard Monthly subscription.  Only new Annual or Lifetime Subscriptions.

F.A.Q.

Q: I already have a Monthly or Annual subscription, can I get some sort of discount for the Lifetime Subscription?

A: Nope.  Figuring that out is just too much work.  I need to keep it simple and streamlined to process everything.

Q: What if I already have a Lifetime Subscription?  Can I get another one and get the coupon codes you mentioned?

A: Sure?

Q: What if I want to pick up a Lifetime Subscription... sometime next week?

A: Nope.  Sorry.  No rain checks.  If you want one, now's the time.

Q: I just want to support The Lunduke Journal with a one-time donation.  How do I do that?

A: You are awesome.  You can either choose to "Give Once" (in any amount) from Lunduke.Locals.com/Support.  Or you can send a donation, in Bitcoin, to the same Bitcoin address listed above.  Just be sure to email bryan at lunduke.com so I know you sent it... and so I can give you a massive virtual high-five.

Q: Can I gift a subscription to someone else?

A: Absolutely.  There are two ways to do that.  For a regular subscription, log in to Lunduke.Locals.com via the website.  On the right hand side of the page you will see a "Gift Subscription" button.  Click that and follow the instructions.  For a Lifetime Subscription, simply follow the instructions for getting your own Lifetime Subscription above, then email bryan at lunduke.com with details on who you would like to send the subscription to.  Easy peasy.
