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! 🤣

BTW - I use Arch!

Never thought i'd say that. I'm more of a Linux Mint kind of person, but Omarchy looked so interesting.

My daughter's 2013 Macbook Air - that I spent good money for as her high school graduation present - is in perfect condition. It helps that she hasn't touched it in years. But seriously, this computer is mint. It's just 12 years old and Apple stopped supporting it with OS security update a year ago.

All my Macs will eventually be Linux machines. This is the first one. The installation went flawless.

I can't tell you much yet - as the VERY first thing I did was come here to inform you all -- that I use Arch ;)

Oh, and the caps lock button doesn't work. Weird. But the screen is beautiful - I don't know if it's Arch or Omarchy, but Chrome doesn't look "Linux Fugly" like normal.

Lunduke Journal Update: Nov 12, 2025

Just a few quick Lunduke Journal-y tidbits on this fine Wednesday afternoon!

  1. Two fascinating interviews this week: DHH and Preston Byrne (the attorney for 4chan). Both are worth catching if you haven’t already.

  2. 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!

  3. 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!

Lunduke taking Veteran's Day off

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.

50% off Lunduke Journal subs extended through Nov 10th

Just a quick heads up:

The Lunduke Journal has a 50% off discount on all types of subscriptions — Monthly, Yearly, and The World Famous Lifetime Subscriptions (tm). And that discount has been extended through this coming Monday (November 10th).

Just for kicks.

All of the details are right here.

Or you can always go to Lunduke.com and click the fancy-shmancy “50% off” link.

Here’s a map on how to find that link.

 

Think of it like a treasure map. Only better. Because you don’t need to stand up and walk. Walking is hard.
