DHH Talks to Lunduke
David Heinemeier Hansson (aka "DHH", the creator of Ruby on Rails & Omarchy Linux), talks with Lunduke about Linux "selling out", what a "distro" is, & the attacks from activists within Open Source.

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! 🤣

BTW - I use Arch!
Never thought i'd say that. I'm more of a Linux Mint kind of person, but Omarchy looked so interesting.
My daughter's 2013 Macbook Air - that I spent good money for as her high school graduation present - is in perfect condition. It helps that she hasn't touched it in years. But seriously, this computer is mint. It's just 12 years old and Apple stopped supporting it with OS security update a year ago.
All my Macs will eventually be Linux machines. This is the first one. The installation went flawless.
I can't tell you much yet - as the VERY first thing I did was come here to inform you all -- that I use Arch ;)
Oh, and the caps lock button doesn't work. Weird. But the screen is beautiful - I don't know if it's Arch or Omarchy, but Chrome doesn't look "Linux Fugly" like normal.
Having some fun. 486 is complete. Just enjoying. I guess I should make another video and try to summarize what i did. But in the meantime, I'm playing games in DOS, using a Window 7 PC to capture that video output, then using Manjaro to capture that output. A little convoluted, but the outcome is actually pretty good. Had to get a picture of the whole ridiculous setup.
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.
