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! 🤣

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.

Lunduke Journal Week In Review - Jan 16th, 2025
Whew! It’s been another wild week for Tech News!
Here’s a crazy stat for ya:
We are currently 16 days into 2026, and The Lunduke Journal has already recorded 19 shows (17 of which have been published on every platform, and 2 others to be published this weekend everywhere… but are already available via the MP4 download page). And that’s with taking New Year’s Day off (and getting the flu this week).
It’s a heck of a lot of Tech News, to be sure.
Lunduke’s Top Stories for the Week
If you only have time to watch a few of shows, I recommend these 3 as being the most interesting (or important… or just… strange) from the last week:
In other words: A pretty gosh-darned crazy week for Linux.
(Those links are to Lunduke.Substack.com, but you can watch all of those shows on any other platform. As always.)
Other Tidbits of Awesomeness
A few other notes on this, most excellent, Friday!
The Lunduke Journal started publishing to TikTok this week. Why? Who knows! Because we can!
If you are a subscriber you can get access to the MP4 download pages (as well as the official forum) by following instructions on the Perks Page.
So, you know, you want one of those.
And, with that, I leave you with a screenshot of the MP4 listing of the shows so far in 2026. Bonkers.
