All around the world, people are celebrating Blue Screen of Death Day.
This year's festivities, proudly sponsored by Crowdstrike and Microsoft, kicked off in the wee hours of the morning -- people from all corners of the globe simply could not wait to ring in BSOD Day 2024!
Below are pictures -- from airports and offices... to Times Square -- of how people chose to comemorate the day.
"Rust in the core of NetSD is probably a non-starter," says long-time NetBSD developer. "Keeping Rust working is quite a bit of work."

Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Sergey Brin, Steven Sinofsky, Richard Branson, and Steve Ballmer. All in the Epstein Files... but for different reasons. Plus: The BASH manual. Seriously.

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.

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! 🤣

It's bad enough that "they" want to put RUST in every FOSS Project.
However, forcing children to Learn RUST as their First Language is taking things too far.
I found a couple of old articles that I thought would interest the computer history nerds here.
First is an article from ComputerWorld 1985 about developers avoiding IBM’s AT (released August 1984).

Next, an article from the February 1994 NeXTWORLD talks about a partnership between NeXT and Sun to set the standard for object-oriented computing. This was three years before the end of NeXT.

Finally, an article from May 1995 examines Microsoft, calling it the new IBM. The article also mentions that Microsoft tried to purchase Intuit in 1994, which is interesting because in the last couple of years, Intuit has been going on its own buying spree. Almost like Intuit wants to become a monopoly.
I’ll make this quick: The $89 Lifetime Subscription offer for The Lunduke Journal ends at midnight tonight (Saturday, January 31st).
Once the calendar reads “February” — poof — the deal is gone.
If you wanted to save 70% on a Lifetime Subscription, these are your final hours.
A huge thank you to everyone who has signed up during this crazy deal. We are this close to filling up the 4th Lifetime Subscriber Wall (there’s a possibility it might fill up in the next few hours).
Far beyond anything I was expecting. All of you are absolutely amazing. The Lunduke Journal would not be possible without you.
If you were on contemplating grabbing that Lifetime Sub, I’d jump on it right now. The price goes back up to normal ($300) in about 12 hours or so.
Get it while it’s cheap!

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.

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 Shame Awesomeness.
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.
