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! 🤣

I’ve got an old Intellivision I’m getting rid of. I’ve never tested it and have no real desire to hold on to it so was planning on selling it. Figured I’d extend the offer here first since it might be up someone’s alley. I was going to list it on eBay at $25 + shipping but for this group am open to offers.

The article is correct. The best will do more with less. While the weaker will be culled. But, the article tries to hide that latter statement.

So, if you survive, enjoy doing more work for the same pay 🙂

50% Off Lunduke Journal Extended Through Monday (Oct 13th)

Just a quick heads up:

The “50% off every kind of Subscription to The Lunduke Journal” sale has been extended through Monday (October 13th).

So. You know. Grab one at 50% off between now and end of the day on Monday.

To all of you amazing nerds who have picked up a Lifetime Subscription already this weekend: You are awesome. You’ll be receiving a confirmation email, with all of the Lifetime Subscription details, by tomorrow (if you haven’t already).

Oh, and remember how we hit 11 Million views last month? Yeah. We’re well on our way to blowing past those numbers in October.

Wild.

See you all on Monday!

The Asymptotic Line of the Lifetime Lunduke Subscription
(Visualized with the power of spreadsheets and charts.)
 

The Lunduke Journal’s World Famous Lifetime Subscription (tm) was introduced 3 years, 3 months ago.

Every day that passes, the value of that Lifetime Subscription gets better and better. Like any good asymptotic line, it steadily approaches 0 (but never quite gets there).

Let’s do some math!

At that price, the cost “Per Month” of a Lifetime Subscription, after 39 months, is $3.85.

By 39 months after that, the “cost” goes down to $1.92. And it keeps getting closer to zero. Every month. Heck. Every day.

(Even at the regular price, the value of a Lifetime Subscription is a sweet asymptotic line. But discounts are doubly good.)

Now. I’m just going to throw a few nuggets of information at you. Do with them what you will.

  • Lunduke has been publishing Open Source & Tech News since 2006 (almost 20 years) and I’m still getting warmed up.

  • The Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscription has been around for over 3 years already.

Based on that, sure does look like good odds that Lunduke is going to be doing this sort of reporting for a very, very long time. Which makes the Lifetime Subscription a safe bet.

Plus… and I’m no Math-a-tologist (tm), but… it seems to me like the earlier a person picks up a Lifetime Subscription, the better the deal gets.

My suggestion?

  1. Grab a Lifetime Subscription at the discounted price before midnight (because saving money is good).

  2. Enjoy the perks (like forum access and the downloadable shows and books).

  3. Never need to worry about paying for a monthly subscription again.

  4. High five yourself every month, as the “Cost Per Month” of your Lifetime Subscription steadily moves towards 0.

Again… do it before midnight tonight (Sunday, October 12th), when the price goes back to normal.

But that’s just a suggestion. If you’d prefer to pay a fixed rate, every month, which never approaches zero (like a totally awesome asymptotic line)… that’s ok too. 😎

Lunduke Journal subscription for only $3 per month? NOICE.

Help The Lunduke Journal celebrate having over 11 Million views last month by picking up a subscription at 50% off!

Then head over to the super-duper, mega-radical “Lunduke Journal Subscriber Perks” page and see all of the goodies you get for being a supporter of Indie Tech Journalism: Access to the Exclusive Forum (tm), DRM-Free MP4 downloads of all of the shows (tm), and a bunch of PDF eBooks (also tm).

The 50% off — which includes Monthly, Yearly, and Lifetime subscriptions — is good through end of the day Sunday, October 11th (that’s tomorrow).

That means you can get a Monthly sub for $3. That’s nuts.

Or, if you get the Yearly for $27, that works out to $2 dollars and 25 cents per month. Double nuts.

I won’t even do the math on what a good deal the 50% off Lifetime Subscription is. Technically it last forever. That’s a subscription for… infinity months.

Which means, as time goes on, the cost per month — for a Lifetime Sub — approaches 0 like an asymptotic line determined to give you a good deal.

You’re welcome.
