C64 OS 1.09 has a full networking stack, virtual desktops, and an online Software Center. For Commodore 64. That's 44 year old hardware. Awesome.

A strange statement, considering Linus, himself, regularly uses the Linux Kernel (as a weapon) to promote Leftist, Social Warrior political activism.

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! 🤣

I present MattBar - a C++ based waybar replacement for Omarchy:
19 Meg of RAM, 0% utilization when hidden.
No CSS, no config file. Just a super efficient and lightweight replacement that includes full Omarchy functionality (Omarchy menu, Omarchy update). So if efficiency isn’t enough for you, what else makes it special? It auto hides by default! When hidden it does not use the CPU at all! However, simply mouse up and poof there it is. It doesn’t cause your windows to resize. You can pin it if you wish. You can also click on the settings button and a GUI settings menu opens. Re-order and decide what modules are present. Determine timeout settings. Change the line the bar uses to detect mousing. You place the bar (via settings) on the top (by default), bottom, left, or right.
It doesn’t get easier.
What do you think? Worthwhile? Should I release this for my fellow Omarchy or Hyprland users?
I will admit that this kind of makes HypWorkCut not that necessary. I mean if you are ...
Xlibre 25.1 just dropped. Remember this underrated interview (no video, no weird AI pictures, just the interview) with the creator? Still relevant to understand the person and motives behind the fork.
I Love it When a Plan Comes Together - A Team
Since I’m doing so much work in Linux, long running coding sessions, I began using Zellij a tmux type app.
I haven’t used the tiling but I do name my sessions. It’s Saturday and I’m trying to take a break from working all day so I’m watching Tv and have my iPad.
Inspiration hits and I use the Termius iPad app to SSH into my Linux box. Then I list my active zellij sessions and attach to the one I wish to continue working in - from my iPad.
It’s a Claude code session that has finished a long task. Claude and I talk about next actions and then I tell Claude what I want him to accomplish.
Off he goes to work on my behalf while I resume watching tv. Life is good.
Btw, the project I’m working on is to build a set of commercial quality agents to speed up RFP processes. It will be used by consulting firms of all kinds. The result will be far more rapid turn around times and far less cost.
I have teamed up with a domain expert who knows the...
Holy frijoles! There are now 20 (twenty!) Lifetime Subscriber Walls, filled with the names of roughly one bazillion Lunduke Journal supporters.
Just amazing.
Two super quick updates:
The “Desqview/X”, “NeXTSetp”, & “TRS-80 Model 100” Walls are now full! (Check them out on Lunduke.com and at the end of new shows.)
There are 3 new Walls available to put your John Hancock on… and, just for kicks, these ones aren’t from Classic Operating Systems… they’re Classic Games:
Oregon Trail
Commander Keen 4
Leisure Suit Larry
I don’t expect space on these Walls to last long. First come first served.
If you already have a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal, simply get ahold of me and let me know which Wall you want your name to appear on.
If you don’t have a Lifetime Sub yet… what in the heckatarnations are you waiting for? The Lifetime Discount only lasts through the end of July (which is roughly one week away).
A huge thank you to all of The Lunduke Journal subscribers. Your support is deeply appreciated. You make this possible.

Buckle up, Buttercup. Because The Lunduke Journal is about to blow your mind.
The “BeOS” Wall Lifetime Subscriber Wall is now full (see all of them on Lunduke.com)!
We’ve added a new “TRS-80 Model 100” Wall (because we can)! That’s the 19th Lifetime Subscriber Wall! 19!
The discounted Lifetime Lunduke Journal Subscriptions are still available through to the end of this month (July).
Which means there are, as of this exact moment, 4 Walls with space available (see Lunduke.com for the full list of Walls). But these fill up wicked fast.
Emacs (only a few spots left)
Desqview/X (a little less than 2/3rd’s full)
NeXTStep (still plenty of space)
TRS-80 Model 100 (just launched)
Nice, right?
Worth noting: The “TRS-80 Model 100” has very limited screen resolution (240 x 64), which means only a small number of names can fit on that wall. If you want on it, I’d let me know right away.
Grab a discounted Lifetime Subscription (if you don’t already have one), then let me know (email “bryan at lunduke.com”) which Wall you’d like to see your name on.
Huge high five to everyone who has already added their name to a Wall. At the current rate, we’ll have over 20 retro computer themed walls, filled with all of your names, by the end of the month.
And, doggone it, that’s amazing.
-Lunduke
Well, we’ve done it.
We’ve answered the eternal question: “Which Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Wall would fill with names quicker? Emacs or Vim?”
The answer, it turns out, is “Vim”. And it takes just 8 days.
A hearty “Thank You” to everyone who supports The Lunduke Journal by getting Lifetime Subscriptions (massively discounted throughout July) and getting on these walls! You make all of this possible!
Now. How long will it take for Emacs to fill up (matching the same number of names as the Vim Wall)?
Well, right now the Emacs Wall is a hair over 2/3rds of the way full. So we’ll find out!
With the closing of the “Vim” Wall (and the BeOS Wall only having the space for 1 name left), now seemed like a good time to add a new retro computer wall: The NeXTStep 1.0 Wall.
Right now, there are 4 Walls available to add your name to (*cough* massive discount *cough*).
NeXTStep (just opened)
Emacs (about 2/3rds full)
BeOS R5 (1 spot left)
Desqview/X (1/2 full)
Once again, huge thanks to everyone who supports The Lunduke Journal!
