24 Hour Sale to fund the new Linux Distro
(Plus... it's almost Father's Day. So that's a good reason for a sale.)

Today, The Lunduke Journal has announced a new Linux Distribution project.

This project is a natural (and rather exciting) extension of the work of The Lunduke Journal -- providing an Operating System free from politics and discrimination.  A system which focuses on the Joy of Computing and embracing the best parts of computing (both past and present).

Funding the System

The necessary development resources — servers, hardware, legal expenses, domain registration, and the like — will be paid for entirely by The Lunduke Journal. (The system itself will remain free for all, with no paid systems attached to it of any kind.)

In order to cover this, The Lunduke Journal is running a simple, one day subscription sale where all the resulting funds will be put into an account specifically for funding development needs of this system. (And, yes, the details of this account will be made transparent.)

Want to help fund this project?  Grab a subscription to The Lunduke Journal today, using the options below.  A discount on annual subscriptions is available, plus the fancy-shmancy Lifetime Subs are available.

But just for 1 day.  And without any reminders.  Grab it while it's hot.

Option 1) Discounted Annual Subscription

This is simple: Save $10 on a standard, annual subscription to The Lunduke Journal.

Here's how:

  1. Subscribe using this link.
  2. No step 2.
  3. No step 3, either.

Easy peasy.

Option 2) Lifetime Subscriptions

We used to offer Lifetime Subscriptions here at The Lunduke Journal -- pay once, get full access for life.  Then we stopped.  Nowadays we only offer new Lifetime Subscriptions every now and then.

Right now is one of those moments.

For the next ~24 hours (through Saturday, June 15th, 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.) 

Option 2) Lifetime Subscriptions via Bitcoin

While The Lunduke Journal doesn't normally accept Bitcoin... for the next 24 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:

That's it!  Those are the options!

Every penny brought in between now and the end of tomorrow (Saturday, June 15th) will go into a dedicated account just for resources needed for our new Linux Distribution!

Exciting times!

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! 🤣

Oregon Trail, Keen, & Leisure Suit Larry Lifetime Walls

Holy frijoles! There are now 20 (twenty!) Lifetime Subscriber Walls, filled with the names of roughly one bazillion Lunduke Journal supporters.

Just amazing.

Two super quick updates:

  1. The “Desqview/X”, “NeXTSetp”, & “TRS-80 Model 100” Walls are now full! (Check them out on Lunduke.com and at the end of new shows.)

  2. There are 3 new Walls available to put your John Hancock on… and, just for kicks, these ones aren’t from Classic Operating Systems… they’re Classic Games:

    1. Oregon Trail

    2. Commander Keen 4

    3. Leisure Suit Larry

 

I don’t expect space on these Walls to last long. First come first served.

A huge thank you to all of The Lunduke Journal subscribers. Your support is deeply appreciated. You make this possible.

TRS-80 Model 100 joins The Lunduke Journal Lifetime Wall party!

Buckle up, Buttercup. Because The Lunduke Journal is about to blow your mind.

  1. The “BeOS” Wall Lifetime Subscriber Wall is now full (see all of them on Lunduke.com)!

  2. We’ve added a new “TRS-80 Model 100” Wall (because we can)! That’s the 19th Lifetime Subscriber Wall! 19!

  3. The discounted Lifetime Lunduke Journal Subscriptions are still available through to the end of this month (July).

Which means there are, as of this exact moment, 4 Walls with space available (see Lunduke.com for the full list of Walls). But these fill up wicked fast.

  1. Emacs (only a few spots left)

  2. Desqview/X (a little less than 2/3rd’s full)

  3. NeXTStep (still plenty of space)

  4. TRS-80 Model 100 (just launched)

 

Nice, right?

Worth noting: The “TRS-80 Model 100” has very limited screen resolution (240 x 64), which means only a small number of names can fit on that wall. If you want on it, I’d let me know right away.

Grab a discounted Lifetime Subscription (if you don’t already have one), then let me know (email “bryan at lunduke.com”) which Wall you’d like to see your name on.

Huge high five to everyone who has already added their name to a Wall. At the current rate, we’ll have over 20 retro computer themed walls, filled with all of your names, by the end of the month.

And, doggone it, that’s amazing.

Vim beats Emacs!

Well, we’ve done it.

We’ve answered the eternal question: “Which Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Wall would fill with names quicker? Emacs or Vim?”

The answer, it turns out, is “Vim”. And it takes just 8 days.

 

A hearty “Thank You” to everyone who supports The Lunduke Journal by getting Lifetime Subscriptions (massively discounted throughout July) and getting on these walls! You make all of this possible!

Now. How long will it take for Emacs to fill up (matching the same number of names as the Vim Wall)?

Well, right now the Emacs Wall is a hair over 2/3rds of the way full. So we’ll find out!

Welcome NeXTStep Wall!

With the closing of the “Vim” Wall (and the BeOS Wall only having the space for 1 name left), now seemed like a good time to add a new retro computer wall: The NeXTStep 1.0 Wall.

Right now, there are 4 Walls available to add your name to (*cough* massive discount *cough*).

  • NeXTStep (just opened)

  • Emacs (about 2/3rds full)

  • BeOS R5 (1 spot left)

  • Desqview/X (1/2 full)

 

Once again, huge thanks to everyone who supports The Lunduke Journal!
