Ubuntu is now shipping with Rust based replacements of core utilities (sudo, date, du, etc.). And the steady stream of bugs, missing functionality, and security vulnerabilities continues.

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! 🤣

After looking at DHH.dk - I saw that he had Email + Calendar.

Life is filled with uncertainties.
Will Valve’s new Steam Machine be reasonably priced?
When will Microsoft replace the Windows Calculator with an AI chatbot?
Will The Lunduke Journal have a sale next week?
Do you know the answers to any of those questions? Shoot. I sure don’t!
But, within the Tech Industry, there are 3 certainties:
There will be more bugs found in the Rust Core Utility clones.
GNOME will say something stupid before the day ends.
And The Lunduke Journal is having a sale right now.
Why take chances? Embrace what you know for certain and grab a Lunduke Journal subscription, right now, for 50% off.
$3 / Month. Or $27 / Year (which works out to… [does math]… $2.25 / Month). Or $150 for Life (seriously… for life).
Which will then give you all of the perks:
DRM-Free MP4 Downloads of all videos.
Full access to the exclusive forum.
And a bunch of nerdy eBooks.
50% off subscriptions lasts through Friday (November 14th).
Maybe the sale will be extended. Maybe another sale will happen again in the future.
Then again… maybe not.
Can you really take that chance?

Just a few quick Lunduke Journal-y tidbits on this fine Wednesday afternoon!
Two fascinating interviews this week: DHH and Preston Byrne (the attorney for 4chan). Both are worth catching if you haven’t already.
The 50% off Subscriptions deal has been extended through this Friday (Nov 14th). So many of you kept picking up new subscriptions… I figured… what the heck! Why not keep the party going? So Monthly, Yearly, and Lifetime subs are all half off at least through Friday!
The “Lifetime Subscriber Wall” isn’t part of today’s (November 12th) shows. There have been so many requests to be added to the wall this week that I need to update the design a bit to fit everybody. The Lifetime Wall will re-appear at the end of new shows tomorrow or Friday.
Once again, thank you for your support! None of this would be possible without you!

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.
