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.)
June 14, 2024

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!

Can We Trust Rust?

Debian Linux and Ubuntu are forcing adoption of Rust at core levels of the system. Considering the large numbers of Leftist Extremist Activists among Rust developers... can that software be trusted?

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! 🤣

Lunduke taking Veteran's Day off

Today, we honor our veterans and their service to our nation.

Great men, like my grandfather who, during World War II, joined the Navy at 14 years old. He was a big, older-looking teenager… so, as was not unheard of, he lied about his age on the paperwork in order to go fight the Axis.

And his father, who joined in the year leading up to the start of World War I.

I am taking this Veteran’s Day off. In part to spend time helping my children learn about their family’s US military history (which goes back, on multiple lines, to the very beginning of our nation). And in part… to watch one of the greatest movies ever made, The Great Escape. Because, hey, Steve McQueen and James Garner! Pretty sure my Grandpa would approve.

Lunduke Journal shows will resume tomorrow (and I’ve got an awesome one lined up).

In the meantime, if you haven’t watched yesterday’s DHH interview yet, highly recommended. Watch (or listen) to it anywhere you like.

And, in the grand tradition of “Veterans Day Sales”, I’ve extended the 50% off all Lunduke Journal subscriptions discount through this coming Friday. Because I can. Pretty sure my Grandpa would approve of that too.
