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! 🤣

You can’t initialize a 1.44MB floppy disk as a GPT disk because the amount of metadata exceeds the disk.
Fun fact: PowerPC Mac’s and earlier did not use a master boot boot record.
However today’s Apple silicon Macintoshes have the 1983 master boot record pioneered in DOS 2.0 and and IBM PC/XT due to GPT disks having a “protective MBR” in the first 512 bytes.
😡 I don't think that I can adequately express how much I hate the Pathological Liars who are part of the WEF Globalist Techo-Feudal "Peasants-Should-Eat-Bugs-and-Live-in-Cubicles" movement.

Ford CEO Jim Farley Laments He Can’t Fill 5,000 Mechanic Jobs Paying $120K per Year: ‘We Are in Trouble in Our Country’

This was yet another fantastic week at The Lunduke Journal!
Two great interviews — one with Ruby on Rails & Omarchy Linux creator (DHH), and another with the lawyer for 4chan & Kiwi Farms (Preston Byrne) — and now The Lunduke Journal’s YouTube channel has hit 100k subscribers.
Which mean I’m supposed to get one of those “I survived YouTube’s attempts to destroy my channel so now I get this silver plaque” awards. Which I may or may not have plans for.
How does The Lunduke Journal celebrate such a glorious week?
Why, by offering a super-mega-huge discount on subscriptions! Naturally!
50% off. Monthly, Yearly, or Lifetime. Through this next Wednesday (November 19th).
Every Subscription come with all of the perks:
DRM-Free MP4 Downloads of all videos.
Full access to the exclusive forum.
And a bunch of nerdy eBooks.
Scroll down. Pick the subscription type that looks the best to you — starting at $2.25 per month (not too shabby) to full Lifetime subscriptions.
Every subscription helps The Lunduke Journal continue to do this reporting. This is only possible thanks to all of you.
Available via both Locals and Substack. (This includes full access the community Forum, and all other perks.)
That means $3 / Month. Or $27 / Year (which works out to $2.25 / Month).
Via Lunduke.Locals.com:
$3 Monthly Subscription via Locals (Code: AUTOEXEC)
$27 Yearly Subscription via Locals (Code: CONFIGSYS)

Note: You can also grab a Monthly subscription via X, YouTube, or Patreon — and get all of the same perks. There’s no way to offer a discount on those platforms, but those are still good options!
The “World Famous Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscription” is exactly what it sounds like. Pay once and get full access to The Lunduke Journal. For life.
Now, through Wednesday, November 19th, you can snag one at a crazy discount. Normally these are $300… but you can grab one for $150. (You can also pay more if you’d like to donate a little extra.)
The Lifetime Subscription can be obtained via Locals, Substack, or using Bitcoin. All three options work great and are super easy (& all three include access to all of the perks). Scroll down and choose your option.
Note: The Lifetime Subscription only applies to Substack and Locals. Other platforms (such as X, Patreon, & YouTube) do not provide the functionality necessary to create Lifetime Subscriptions.

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.
