Instead of the regular shows (audio podcasts & videos), The Lunduke Journal will be publishing only articles for the next week.
I’m traveling this week, and recording shows is a little tricky. But there are some great stories that deserve to be told — so articles it is!
Be sure you’re following The Lunduke Journal on any of the four platforms where articles are published (all are free to follow be alerted to new articles).

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! 🤣

Governor Pritzker of Illinois is threatening to have state law enforcement arrest ICE agents to prevent them from doing arrests and deportations. Gavin Newsom seems to be working his way up towards some similar declaration in California.
This post will contain no political opinions. I have plenty of those, but I'm going to stick to legal and procedural facts about what could happen after a state-level attempt to arrest federal LEOs.
I have to wonder who Pritzker and Newsom are getting legal advice from. Because the President of the United States would have a completely legal and overwhelming response to this.
It's the Insurrection Act of 1807, specifically Section 252 allowing unilateral deployment without state request to enforce federal laws or suppress rebellion when "unlawful obstructions" make judicial enforcement "impracticable."

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 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!
Right now — until midnight tonight (Oct 12) — the price of a Lifetime Subscription is discounted to $150.
The “Lifetime Subscription” was first created 1,170 days (39 months) ago.
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?
Grab a Lifetime Subscription at the discounted price before midnight (because saving money is good).
Enjoy the perks (like forum access and the downloadable shows and books).
Never need to worry about paying for a monthly subscription again.
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. 😎

In September, The Lunduke Journal attempted an experiment: Run no discount sales all month long and see what happens.
The result? The Lunduke Journal made a whole lot less money! So much so that, if we kept doing that, we’d go out of business. Surprise!
Let’s drop that idea in the “Welp, that didn’t work!” bucket.
In order to make up for the month of lost revenue — and make sure The Lunduke Journal can continue operating 100% free from any influence of Big Tech, just as we have for the last several years — we’re going to run a massive discount sale all weekend long.
50% off. Everything. Monthly, Yearly, & Lifetime.
All of the following discounts come with all of the perks (MP4 Downloads, Forum access, and eBooks) and are available through Sunday, October 12th.
Note: If you picked up a subscription over the last few days, you will be contacted and offered the 50% off discounted price to be applied retroactively. Because I like you. And you’re awesome.
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)
Via Lunduke.Substack.com:
Monthly or Yearly via Substack (No Code Needed)
Note: You can also grab a Monthly subscription via X, YouTube, or Patreon. 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 Saturday, October 12th, 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.
