November was absolutely insane at The Lunduke Journal.
My favorite two shows of the month are definitely my interviews with DHH and 4chan’s Lawyer. If you haven’t seen those yet, I highly suggest them.
But the biggest, most widely viewed show of the month was (drumroll please)…
- Installing Linux Software Just Got More... Gay
Speaking of “widely viewed”… thanks to all of you, The Lunduke Journal is reaching more people than ever. Over 16 Million views last month!
The real, Big-Tech-free Tech News is spreading far and wide. It’s a beautiful thing to behold.
Stats for November
Here’s some Lunduke Journal stats for November, 2025:
-
16.1 Million views (or listens) during the last month (November).
-
149,028 free subscribers (not including audio podcast feeds).
-
2,792 new free subscribers on the primary platforms.
-
317 shows, so far, in 2025.
-
$0.00 (zero) taken from any corporation.
Those views. Holy smokes. We went from 12.9 Million in October to 16.1 Million in November. That’s a 24.8% jump, month on month. And 75% higher than just three months ago!
Look at that chart. Absolutely wild.
The total number of free subscribers also grew during November — by close to 2,792. Up about 2% from last month. Not too darned shabby.
Lunduke Journal on YouTube
During November, The Lunduke Journal’s YouTube channel officially broke 100,000 subscribers.
Demonetized. Shadow-banned. Several channel suspensions. And more “strikes” than I can count.
Yet, despite all of that, we hit 100k. And YouTube even followed through on sending one of those fancy-shmancy plaque thingies.
An interesting tidbit (for those interested in the world of digital publishing): While YouTube represents the largest current chunk of free subscribers to The Lunduke Journal… it does not represent the largest chunk of views.
In fact, at present, YouTube is currently running a (very) distant 4th in terms of total monthly “views” for The Lunduke Journal. Behind the audio podcast, X, and Substack. In fact, the “Subscriber Count to Views” ratio on YouTube is worse than on any other platform which The Lunduke Journal publishes to.
But, just the same, 100k is a nice, big, round number. And now we have a shiny silver plaque to commemorate that big round number. Which is nifty.
Oh! And they included a unique, definitely hand-typed, personally signed letter from the YouTube CEO!
Definitely not a stock letter sent to everyone who gets this plaque wink wink!
But my favorite part?
This YouTube 100k award was inspected with great care by… Rick!
Thanks Rick!
And thanks, once again, to all of you for spreading The Lunduke Journal far and wide, and supporting this work. You make this possible.

It sounds like an insane movie plot. But it's real.
In 2016, this was "Lunduke's crazy conspiracy theory about Pokemon Go being used to spy on everyone, backed by the CIA". Now, in 2024, Niantic Labs (the makers of Pokemon Go), proudly brags about using Pokemon Go to spy on you... and using that covertly obtained information to build a massive, 3D artificial intelligence mapping system of private spaces.
"We receive about 1 million fresh scans each week, each containing hundreds of discrete images."
In other words: Lunduke was right.

Pro-Censorship, bad for Open Source, and not good for the Computer Industry. From the point of view of a Computer-focused publication, it's hard to think of a worse candidate for President of the USA than Kamala Harris.
While The Lunduke Journal is not endorsing any candidate, the damage this particular candidate has already done to the world of computing is significant enough to warrant this statement.

After 22 days, hackers still have access to sensitive internal systems. Archive.org has been offline for 11 days (and counting), and Internet Archive refused to respond to notifications of being hacked. All immediately following Internet Archive's massive court loss which could destroy them as an organization. And that's just for starters.
Something smells very, very wrong. Did the Internet Archive allow themselves to be hacked? Or... did they actually hack themselves? That's crazy... right? It's not as crazy as it might seem.
Let's go through the timeline of events and look at everything logically.

The full length, video version is available here: https://lunduke.locals.com/post/6240894/lundukes-nerdy-q-a-oct-17-2024
The nerdy questions asked in today's nerdy show:
How many times over the years have you said to yourself. "Wouldn't it be cool to have a retro gaming cabinet with MAME and a whole bunch of emulators, I can play any game I like on" only to never actually get around to doing the hard work to build a cabinet, set up the software, hardware, input controls etc?
What do you think of Nextcloud and other self-hosted cloud options?
Regarding the wave of hyper-political malevolence making its way through tech over the last 3 years (much of which, you've reported on), having done quite a bit of research and reporting on it, do you have an assessment as to its nature/origin? Do you think it's a fad (albeit a lengthy one)? Or, do you think this is something more endemic, and perhaps permanent?
What are some of your favorite software applications on any platform?
What is a solid laptop and OS choice for a pro videographer that I won't feel gross for using?
Which is the most evil between Snap, Flatpak and AppImage?
The elephant in the tech room is that Windows 10 goes EOL next year. And we all know how windows 11 adoption seems to be going. Considering we seem to have 3 choices: Win 10, switching to Win 11, or switching to Linux. What do you think we will be seeing come this time next year?
For you, how important is the lack of wokeness of a software's company/developers when deciding whether to use it or not? For me it's somewhat important but other factors such as viable alternatives and privacy concerns matter to me as well.
What's the best homebrew console of all time? Most of them do emulation only, but others also have own game SDK
dbase, Clipper or Foxpro?
What is the first Unix (or Unix-like) OS you used at a job? Impressions? Comparisons to systems you use today?
Out of modern hardware, what hardware are you most interested in and why?
With so many projects hell bent on self destruction of one kind or another, what projects are taking steps to protect themselves from hostile take overs? Or what new projects will replace the staples that have started down objectively bad paths (Debian comes to mind as the most recent example)?
Considering you've been banned from numerous Mastodon servers at this point, what's your opinion of NOSTR?

Note: It starts with one of the founders of Redot speaking. Not Lunduke. Don’t freak out when the voice is someone else… Lunduke will appear later on during the show.
The Open Source Godot Game Engine enacted a mass banning for political reasons. Redot is a "non-political" fork. Let's find out their plan in their Twitter / X space they held to launch the project. The Lunduke Journal was there with lots of questions (jump to the 39 minute mark for the Q & A).
Questions touch on a wide variety of topics, including: Being seen as a "political protest project", preventing a "woke take over" as happened with Godot, feature goals, keeping momentum after the initial excitement dies down, and more.

Jay Miller, creator of the "Black Python Devs" organization, sits down with Lunduke after announcing a partnership with the GNOME Foundation.
What are the goals of "Black Python Devs"? What is the nature of the GNOME Foundation partnership? What would they think of a "White Python Devs" organization? Many, many questions.
While Lunduke & Miller clearly disagree on many points -- the conversation is friendly, frank, and civil. Two men, having a reasonable discussion. Even as the disagreements mount.

Note: This is two people disagreeing on some things -- while agreeing on others -- and being cool to each other about all of it. This is how it should be.

Tump! Immigration! Insurrection! Muslim Tavel Ban! Elon Musk! What do any of those things have to do with a discrimination lawsuit against Red Hat, the worlds largest Linux company? Well... nothing. Nothing at all. But Tech News outlet, The Register, wants you to stop thinking about Red Hat doing something wrong... and, instead, be angry at anyone who would attack Red Hat. Because Trump. Or something.

Widespread discrimination based on Ethnicity, Religion, & Politics across the Linux World. Red Hat, IBM, The Linux Foundation, GNOME, elementary, Linux Mint, and more are involved -- bullies working to exclude those they don't like.
They are at war against the very soul of the Linux and Open Source world.
This is the first part in a series of shows and articles. I'm going after these bullies.

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! 🤣

openSUSE Linux has a long, rich history -- coupled with a uniquely valuable feature-set.
Unfortunately, serious mismanagement, a lack of vision, terrible messaging, and (worst of all) a policy of deliberate alienation of half the population... has put openSUSE on a bad road.
Here I (a former openSUSE elected Board Member) cover what, specifically, is going wrong with openSUSE... and how I believe it could be not only fixed, but set on a path towards massive success.

This may be a little "Inside Baseball"-ish, but I'm pretty psyched about the direction that Rumble and Locals are taking. Their latest announcement of "Rumble Studio" is an absolutely stellar move that is a critical component in moving people away from YouTube.

Recently I had some criticisms for the Linux Foundation (relating to their lack of Linux spending, etc.). Now, Greg K-H (a long-time Linux kernel maintainer, and Linux Foundation employee) has fired back at my comments.
He's correct about a couple things. And he's wrong about a few others. I break it down and respond.

Massive drops in marketing budgets for podcast advertisers and sponsors. Dynamically inserted advertisements. Crypto-currency tipping and "value for value" systems. The whole world of professional podcasting is in a state of flux right now. And, since I've been through just about all of it, I give my thoughts on what works, what doesn't, and where I hope other podcasters go to find success.
This is a very "inside baseball" sort of show. If you are interested in the business side of podcasting... this episode is for you. If not... listen anyway. Let my voice sooth you. 🤣

This episode is made available for free to everyone. Most episodes — including last weeks show — are only for subscribers to The Lunduke Journal.
In this very special episode of The Lunduke Big Tech Show… we’ll tackle a big, giant pile of the biggest problems in modern computing. What they are and, even more importantly, how we can approach fixing them (or at least dealing with them).
Some of the issues we tackle:
-
The right to repair (and upgrade) our hardware.
-
Ads plastered all over every website… and even our operating systems.
-
The vanishing freedom to install any software we want on our computers.
-
Surveillance and personal privacy.
-
The growing dependency on Internet connectivity for even the simplest tasks.
-
Big Tech influence on Tech Journalism.
-
Manipulation by “The Algorithm”.
-
Software bloat and lack of originality in modern software.
Some easier to deal with than others. But all worth discussing.
The totally awesome music you heard in this show is provided courtesy of the amazing Pete Mitchell. You can find more of his music and art at daspetey.com. Visit his shop. Highly recommended.

You know what really grinds my gears? When companies, organizations, and journalists actively (and knowingly) work to re-write (and memory hole) parts of history.
Especially computer history.
Just bugs me. And both Mozilla and the Open Source Initiative are guilty of doing exactly that. I need to vent.

The battle over Linux package formats — and digitally purchasable Linux software — has been under a constant state of conflict since the 1990s.
And it rages on today.
Let’s look back at some of the history of this (including Ubuntu’s attempt to have a software store, Lindows Click N Run, and more) and the current state of software stores on Linux.

By popular request, we are extending BSD Week — originally scheduled to end on Wednesday — by a whole extra week! “BSD Week” will now run until Wednesday, March 1st!
All of you wanted more BSD time… so you got it!
This works great for me as well.
My BSD articles keep expanding, and growing in scope (and number) — with my BSD History series now looking to be a total of 4 individual articles.
Plus, there are multiple BSD things I haven't had the chance to try yet that I really want to (including 2.11BSD and GhostBSD).
Then there’s the fact that I'm a bit distracted for two or three days, at the beginning of this week, as I prepare for the big demo and meeting to get my own weekly “Lunduke Journal” radio show
So, more BSD Week? I’m game!
Extending the Pay-What-You-Want Sale until Tuesday at 10am (Central)
Likewise, we’re also extending (slightly) the current sale. (Huge thanks to everyone who has taken advantage of it! You are awesome!)
This sale was originally set to end at Midnight tonight… but let’s let it run until tomorrow morning (Tuesday) at — say — 10am Central Time.
That way there’s enough time for folks to take advantage of it in various time zones.
Here’s the crazy deal (super duper discounted):
-
Anything over $50 will qualify for a Founding Member Subscription.
-
And anything over $125 will qualify for a Lifetime Subscription
This is insanely cheap. Obviously, if you feel you can afford a higher amount… that would be appreciated. But if those amounts are all you can afford? Go for it!
While these prices are — obviously — crazy low… if it results in a significant surge in new or upgraded subscriptions it will be MORE than worth it.
To get a Founding Member Subscription:
-
Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/subscription.
-
Choose the "Annual" option.
-
Enter "$50" (or more) in the amount field.
To get a Lifetime Subscription:
-
Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/support.
-
Choose "Give Once".
-
Enter "$125" (or more) in the amount field.
Note I am processing these manually, so give me a few hours to upgrade your accounts (on both Substack and Locals) after you make the purchase. I will contact each of you by email after I set your accounts properly. If you don’t hear from me within a day, send an email to bryan@lunduke.com to make sure your accounts get full access.
What do we call the 2nd week of BSD Week?
One of the only real problems with extending BSD Week… is what in the heck do we call the second week?
Here are a few ideas that have been thrown around:
-
2BSD Week (or BSD 2Week)
-
BSD Week ++
-
while true; do echo "BSD week"; sleep 1; done
-
10 PRINT BSDWEEK20 GOTO 10
-
BSD...When Forks Happen
-
"I'll be back" - BSDweek 2.0
Whatever we call it… the second week of “BSD Week” will be great. Gives us a chance to dive ever deeper into the wild world of BSD!
Personally I like “BSD 2Week”. Feels on-brand for early BSD versioning.

One of the things I truly enjoy is putting on big, big shows.
Hour-long presentations with big slide decks. You know, “Linux Sucks” type stuff.
Some of those big shows are in-depth and detailed — others are goofy and ridiculous — but they are always a ton of fun.
And, now that all three publications in The Lunduke Journal Triforce of Nerdiness have fully launched, it is time to kick off the next phase of Lunduke Journal awesomeness — as we start doing regular events with some seriously big shows (with some seriously big slide decks).
And it all starts with…
The “All Sorts of Suck” Mega Event
Saturday, March 18th, at 6pm (Central)
-
“Linux Sucks 2023” — The yearly tradition, watched by millions of nerds since 2006, continues. Lunduke has a lot of problems with Linux. And you’re gonna hear about them.
-
“macOS Sucks” -- The guy who said “Linux Sucks” gives macOS the business. Let’s face it. Apple had it coming.
-
“Star Trek Sucks” — Watch as a life-long fan rants and raves about Star Trek - old and new - for a solid hour. Because, sometimes, a nerd just needs to vent.
Both “Linux Sucks 2023” and “macOS Sucks” will be available for subscribers to The Lunduke Journal of Technology, while “Star Trek Sucks” will be available for subscribers to The Lunduke Journal of Nerdy Entertainment.
If you are a Founding Member subscriber, you have access to both!
Important Note: These shows will all be live streamed — with recorded versions available afterwards. But both the live streams and recordings will only be available for full subscribers!
There will be big shows across all of the three publications in The Triforce of Nerdiness… so you’re going to want a Founding Member subscription to give you access to all three.
There is currently a discount on exactly that… take advantage of it. (Or scroll down to the bottom of this page.)
Then, the next event…
The “Pessimism & Nerdiness” Mega Event
Saturday, April 22nd at 6pm (Central)
-
“A.I., Smartphones, IoT, & App Stores (The Four Horsemen of the Digital Apocalypse)” — The end is nigh, the digital apocalypse is at hand. When I am finished, you will be a believer.
-
“Star Wars, Marvel, & the War on our Childhood” — Lord of the Rings, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel… they are taking the nerdy delights from our childhood and systematically destroying them. And I have feelings about it.
-
“Straight, White, & Nerdy (and darn proud of it)” — A joyful celebration. While the title may make some bristle… there will be not a single mean-spirited word here. About anyone.
“A.I., Smartphones, IoT, & App Stores” will be available on The Lunduke Journal of Technology, “Star Wars, Marvel, & the War on our Childhood” on The Lunduke Journal of Nerdy Entertainment, and “Straight, White, & Nerdy” on The Lunduke Journal of Conservative Nerdiness.

So much BSD! All week long!
From the beginning of BSD all the way through to present day systems! BSD 2.11, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, HelloSystem, NetBSD, Dragonfly BSD! You name a BSD, and we’re probably going to be doing something with it this week.
You can follow the articles and podcasts at Lunduke.Substack.com. (Some free, some for subscribers only.)
And the rest of the action — including posts from the entire community — is going to be at Lunduke.Locals.com.
How to get the most out of BSD Week
While there will be a number of articles posted to Lunduke.Substack.com, you’ll want two things to really get the most out of the week:
-
An account on Lunduke.Locals.com — this is where the community will be posting about their own adventures in BSD land (along with a number of Lunduke’s posts that won’t appear anywhere else).
-
A full subscription to The Lunduke Journal of Technology — some of the best articles will be only for full, paid subscribers.
If you’ve got those two things… you’re all set!
You can participate in BSD Week in oh-so-many ways! Everything from installing and running a BSD variant on your own system… to simply lurking and enjoying the articles, podcasts, and posts from the community.
A little incentive in case you haven’t picked up your subscription yet
At the beginning of the month, the third publication in “The Lunduke Journal Triforce of Nerdiness” was announced, focusing on Nerdy Entertainment.
And, with it, the Lunduke Journal Founding Membership option was expanded to include full access to all three publications — including full access to both Substack and Locals.
This really is the best way to take full advantage of everything happening here in the world of The Lunduke Journal. To make it a bit easier to take the plunge — and help you to follow the fun — the price is reduced until the end of BSD Week.
From now until February 22nd at 8am (Eastern), the following discounts are in effect:

One Year of Founding Membership is $95 -- (Normally $125)

A Lifetime Membership is $295 -- (Normally $350)

I’ve just launched “The Great Lunduke Journal Computer Nerd Survey of 2023”. What is, essentially, a census (sorta) of computer nerds. Because… I’ve got some questions I would like to answer!
Also: A brand new benefit has been added to Lunduke Journal Founding Member and Lifetime Subscribers — Full access to both Lunduke Journal publications (Journal of Technology, and Journal of Conservative Nerdiness). See here for details on how to pick that up if you haven’t already. The Founding Member option is a crazy good deal… and it’s getting better all the time.

You can’t throw a rock without hitting news of a Tech Company doing yet another round of layoffs. Every day a new one. Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Salesforce, Meta… layoff after layoff after layoff.
Let’s talk about exactly why this is happening — it’s been a long time in coming. And, if we’re being honest, we all know that it needs to happen.

The Lunduke Journal of Technology has always been a “Politics-free” zone — a place where we can focus purely on the nerdy stuff that unites us all together.
Some time back I created the “Conservative Nerds” community to provide a fun place for nerds to discuss political topics (in large part as an outlet to help keep The Lunduke Journal of Technology completely free of all politics).
Starting today, the “Conservative Nerds” community is becoming a full publication:
The Lunduke Journal of Conservative Nerdiness.
Ever think to yourself, “Gee, I sure to enjoy The Lunduke Journal of Technology… but I wish Lunduke would dive into the politically charged topics”? This is for you.
Articles. Podcasts. Comics. All with a politically and nerdy flair.
Check out the podcast for all the details.
Then subscribe at :
https://conservativenerds.locals.com/
Note: This has zero impact on The Lunduke Journal of Technology. It will stay exactly the same as it always has. Pure, nerdy joy. Free from all politics. If you want to avoid all politics.. The Lunduke Journal of Technology will always be a great place to get your nerd on.

I think I can confidently say that 8-Bit Week, here at The Lunduke Journal, was a massive success!
While previous themed weeks have been a blast (including DOS Week, Haiku Week, & PDA Week), 8-Bit Week blew them all out of the water… with a huge amount of wildly varied content posted by all of you in The Lunduke Journal Community.
The collection of links to 8-Bit Weeks posts for Days 1 & 2 and Days 3 & 4 are already available. The final few days worth of links will be posted to Lunduke.Locals.com shortly (there were a lot of 8-Bit posts from the community, taking a while to catalog them all!).
Upcoming Themed Weeks
Mark your calendars! We’ve got a number of themed weeks coming up over the next few months!
-
BSD Week — Feb 15 - 22 — A full week focused on BSD. Every BSD. New and old.
-
Linux Games Week — Mar 29 - Apr 5 — Playing games. On Linux. All week. Good times shall be had.
-
Serenity OS Week — May 10 - 17 — With Serenity OS making massive strides, now is a good time to get acquainted with this new system!
-
Plan 9 Week — June 21 - 28 — The Plan 9 operating system is a crazy beast! But have you ever spent time with it? Now’s your chance!
A heck of a way to kick of 2023 — and we’ve got more ideas for themed weeks after that! (Some ideas include: 16-Bit Game Console Week, Classic Mac Week, and a bunch more.)
Other Upcoming Events
There’s a few more fun events happening over the coming weeks as well.
-
Video Hangout — Jan 14 at 12pm Eastern — A special video chat just for Founding Member and Lifetime Subscribers.
-
“macOS Sucks” Live Stream — Jan 28 at 12pm Eastern — Lunduke is going to give macOS the business. Live (with recording to follow).
Reminder: All of these events and themed weeks require a full subscription to The Lunduke Journal to enjoy.
To take active part in the Themed Weeks (and be able to post to the community), you’ll need an account at Lunduke.Locals.com.
The “Founding Member” subscription is highly recommended as it gives you full access to both Lunduke.Substack.com and Lunduke.Locals.com (the community site).

The first 48 hours of “8-Bit Week” here at The Lunduke Journal has been an absolute blast!
Apple II. Commodore 64. Tandy Color Computer 3. Atari 800. These first two days of 8-Bit Week were filled to the brim with fun, fascinating posts by members of The Lunduke Journal Community.
Below is a, roughly chronological, list of 8-Bit Week posts in our community. Read through them all… or simply check out the ones that interest you. There’s something here for everyone.

2022 has been a big year for The Lunduke Journal. A big year, filled with big articles.
What follows are some of my personal favorites — not necessarily the most popular articles… but the ones that I found the most interesting. Or that made me smile the most.
A few news items, some historical pieces, and a few bits of satire. All over the map, really.
Presented here, in no particular order. Because putting them in order was too hard.
Also… I was going to do my “Top 10 Favorite”. But that was too hard too. So… there’s 12 of them.
Enjoy.

Earlier in 2022, Lunduke predicted that the Haiku Operating System would become viable for daily use by many people (Lunduke included) by the end of the calendar year. Magically on schedule, Haiku now has a viable web browser (GNOME Web / Epiphany) ported and functional.

It’s time for the weekly normal computer news. The Big Tech stuff that’s worth taking a look at.
Apple now worth more than Google, Amazon, and Meta… combined
Seriously.
“Apple finished Wednesday's session with a $2.31 trillion market cap, according to Yahoo! Finance data. Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta were worth a combined $2.3 trillion.”
Microsoft sued for GitHub Copilot
The Joseph Saveri Law Firm has filed a suit against Microsoft.
According to Bleeping Computing:
The complaint was submitted to the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California, demanding the approval of statutory damages of $9,000,000,000.
"Each time Copilot provides an unlawful Output it violates Section 1202 three times (distributing the Licensed Materials without: (1) attribution, (2) copyright notice, and (3) License Terms)," reads the complaint.
"So, if each user receives just one Output that violates Section 1202 throughout their time using Copilot (up to fifteen months for the earliest adopters), then GitHub and OpenAI have violated the DMCA 3,600,000 times. At minimum statutory damages of $2500 per violation, that translates to $9,000,000,000."
Microsoft releases Teams “progressive web app” for Linux
We’re excited to announce the general availability of support for the Microsoft Teams progressive web app (PWA) as a feature of our current web client for Linux customers.
Linux customers who rely on Microsoft Teams for collaboration and communication needs told us they want the full richness of Teams features available for their users in a secure way. This can now be achieved using the Teams PWA.
Additionally, the PWA enables us to ship the latest Microsoft Teams features faster to our Linux customers and helps us bridge the gaps between the Teams desktop client on Linux and Windows. The PWA experience is available for both Edge and Chrome browsers running on Linux.
The PWA offers access to more capabilities, including custom backgrounds, gallery view, reactions, the raise-a-hand feature in meetings, as well as large gallery and Together mode views. The PWA also provides desktop-like app features, such as system notifications for chat and channel, a dock icon with respective controls, application auto-start, and easy access to system app permissions.

Here is the “Weird” computer news — the retro and alternative OS stuff — for November 6th, 2022!
Currently 3 blocker bugs for Haiku Beta 4
For those looking forward to the upcoming “imminent" release of Haiku Beta 4… it’s worth noting that, according to the official Haiku bug tracker, there are only 4 issues that are marked as “blocker” for Beta 4.
Meaning that — at least as of this very moment — only three known bugs are considered critical to be fixed before Beta 4 is released.
What’s more, all three look to be fairly “simple” tasks. This bodes very well for Beta 4 being released in the near future.
If Haiku Beta 4 releases this month, it will arrive roughly 16 months after the previous version (Beta 3 was released in July of 2021).
Haiku Week Starts Wednesday!
On a related note: Starting Wednesday, November 9th, The Lunduke Journal Community will begin celebrating “Haiku Week”.
This will include articles here on The Lunduke Journal and posts over on Lunduke.Locals.com. As with past themed weeks, the community posts will be gathered up and posted for all to enjoy.
Ladybird web browser now can run Linux in a PC emulator in Javascript
In “That’s Awesome!” news: The Ladybird web browser — the completely from-scratch web browser that originated as part of the Serenity OS project — is now advanced enough that it can run JSLinux.org… a Javscript PC emulator that runs Linux.
Think about how awesome that is for a web browser that was developed… from scratch.
So… you can run Linux… in a from-scratch web browser… running on a from-scratch operating system. The future is now.
GNU Make drops support for OS/2, Amiga, Cray, and Xenix
The GNU project has announced that it will no longer be supporting multiple “retro” platforms: OS/2, Amiga, Xenix, and Cray.
While it’s always sad to see dropped support for aging and alternative operating systems… I’m not sure that the loss of future versions of GNU Make will have much of an impact on programmers for those four systems. It simply doesn’t appear to be that widely used on those platforms.
That said… you can get versions of Make in ArcaOS (the updated OS/2) and several GNU tools (such as GCC) as part of the latest AmigaOS SDK.

EU forcing Apple to change iPhone hardware (and maybe software)
The European Union has made passed a law that will force Apple to change to use a USB-C charging port by 2024.
But they aren’t stopping there. According to Wired, one EU official is quoted as saying:
“If you have an iPhone, you should be able to download apps not just from the App Store but from other app stores or from the internet.”
The law behind this is the “Digital Markets Act”, which was passed by EU Parliament back in July. And, clearly, the EU would like to use it to force Apple to allow third party software stores (and, thus, non-App Store installation of software).
I have an awful lot of thoughts on this. I like flexibility of installing software. I like standard hardware ports. But I dislike governments telling tech companies how to make their hardware and software. My feelings here are complex. Tune into today’s podcast to hear me wrestle with this.
GNOME is closing all mailing lists
E-Mail lists are a mainstay of the open source world. Every major project seems to have a long-standing mailing list, and GNOME is no exception.
That is… until now. GNOME is closing down their mailing lists (all of them) in favor of a forum hosted on Discourse.
The GNOME Infrastructure Team told The Register:
“Since we introduced Discourse, GNOME's Mailman instance has seen a decline in utilization over the past years. The new platform offers way more features than Mailman, including gamification which newer generations, in general, appreciate, but also markdown support, RSS feeds, proper spam support, multiple authentication types and so on and so forth.”
The part that stuck out at me: The GNOME project wants to “gamify” communication within their community. Which. That just feels weird.
The GNOME executive director blamed Python:
“Like many other projects which use Mailman, we are finding that relying on a Python 2 program is not sustainable.”
Ubuntu 23.04 to be… “Lunar Lobster”?
Ubuntu 23.04 — scheduled for release in April of 2023 — does not yet have an official “Alliterative Animal” codename. You know. Like “Dancing Doggy” or “Cantankerous Cow”… like all Ubuntu releases get.
Well, the Ubuntu Twitter account has tweeted out this little teaser:
Technically… it’s a question. In emoji.
A moon. And a lobster. With a question mark.
Could that mean Ubuntu 23.04 will be… “Lunar Lobster”? Since the releases go in alphabetical order… and the current release is “Kinetic Kudu”… it seems logical that “Lunar Lobster” is what they’re proposing.
Possibly related: Apparently there is a lobster on the “moon” tarot card. Which… has a meaning… or something? Who knows. But here’s a picture of it.
VHS makes animated GIFs of Terminal output for Linux, Mac, Windows
This new open source tool, VHS, is absolutely glorious. It runs a predefined set of terminal commands… and spits out an animated GIF of the output. What’s better: it runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
With VHS you can change the font size, the typing speed… the works. This is just such an incredibly good idea, I had to share.
Chromebook (and tablet) sales drop. A lot.
According to IDC:
“Chromebook shipments also struggled in 3Q22, falling to 4.3 million units and a year-over-year decline of 34.4%.”
While this was also a bad month for tablet sales (in fact… the 5th quarter, in a row, of declining tablet sales — down 8.8% from this time last year)… that 34.4% decline in Chromebook sales is pretty massive.
Here’s the breakdown based on individual Chromebook makers:
Lenovo Chromebook sales down over 50%. In a single year! Dang!
Still quite a large number of Chromebooks sold in the third quarter (4.3 million laptops). So it’s not exactly a dead market. But that decline is going to have an impact going forward.
Twitter to make that blue check cost… $8 / month
Twitter’s new El Presidente has unveiled one of his plans for the platform in a series of Twitter posts:
“Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is [NAUGHTY WORD]. Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.
Price adjusted by country proportionate to purchasing power parity
You will also get: - Priority in replies, mentions & search, which is essential to defeat spam/scam - Ability to post long video & audio - Half as many ads
And paywall bypass for publishers willing to work with us
This will also give Twitter a revenue stream to reward content creators
There will be a secondary tag below the name for someone who is a public figure, which is already the case for politicians”
Elon then posted this picture:
My thoughts on this are many, and varied. But, in general, I think this is a good idea. In fact… I think Elon should go further and charge for folks to post Comments/Replies on Twitter. Then just do away with advertising completely.
That would all but eliminate the army of bots (which make up the majority of Twitter at the moment) and trolls (which makes up most of the rest of the users). Having a “paywall” may have disadvantages… but it sure does work wonders on getting rid of trolls.
Just ask folks in The Lunduke Journal Community. It works.

Haiku Week is coming!
From November 9th through November 16th, The Lunduke Journal Community will be celebrating “Haiku Week”.
Much like with our previous “DOS Week” and “Command Line Week”, this will be an opportunity for all of us to embrace the wonderful world of the Haiku operating system (originally started as an open source replacement for BeOS).
There is a very real possibility that our Haiku Week will line up with the Haiku Beta 4 release (which is “imminent”). So make sure you’ve got your Lunduke.Locals.com account setup and come join in the fun!
FreeBSD 12.4 hits Beta
The first beta release of FreeBSD 12.4 have been released:
“The first BETA build for the FreeBSD 12.4 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, armv6, armv7, arm64, i386, powerpc, powerpc64, powerpcspe, and sparc64 architectures are available.”
The final release of 12.4 is expected during the first week of December (a little over a month from now). After which the release process for FreeBSD 13.2 is set to begin in January.
The 12.x line is continuing support for the previous major release (as 13.x is current) for those still using it.
In related news, the FreeBSD Foundation is falling dramatically behind in their fundraising goals — having raised less than 10% of their annual budget.
“Our goal this year is to raise at a minimum $1,400,000 towards a spending budget of around $2,000,000. As we enter the last quarter of 2022, our donation total sits at $167,348”
What that means for the viability of continuing to fund the FreeBSD Foundation remains to be seen. But it doesn’t seem great.
Ladybird adds support for more websites
Last week we briefly touched on the rapid progress that Ladybird (the web browser engine and project that began within Serenity OS) has been making.
In the few days since then, Andreas Kling (the head honcho of Serenity OS and Ladybird) has continued to showcase current improvements to how major websites are rendered in their new web browser. Including YouTube, Google, Instagram, and Google Maps.
The results are nothing short of outstanding. Take a look:
Why I bring this up:
This is, quite possibly, one of the biggest shake-ups in the modern computing world… and it is happening rather quietly. Under the radar of most of the tech press.
A brand new web browser (and engine) — developed entirely from scratch — is rapidly gaining significant compatibility with modern websites. Not only is this a massive win for Serenity (as modern web browsing is one of the major obstacles for new OS adoption nowadays)… but this could become a competitor to Mozilla and Google. Quite possibly very quickly (at least if the current development speed is maintained). All without the baggage of legacy code that those companies are saddled with.
MACE - Mac Application Compatibility Environment
I recently discovered MACE… and was intrigued.
“The goal of M.A.C.E. project is the create an runtime library and executing environment for old Mac applications, similar to Apple’s deprecated Classic environment, but without needing any ROM images or System Software binaries by Apple.”
Running classic Mac applications — on a modern OS — without ROMs or the Mac System Software? Cool!
According to their (rather extensive) July 2022 status update, they are working towards a full release:
“We will continue working on the missing features as always, trying to reach the goal of a generic runtime release as soon as possible. We also will try to find solution for the binary file distribution in near future, so anybody interested trying the new features out could do that as soon as possible (especially considering the last released binaries are already getting quite old). We will keep you updated on this blog on our progress as always.”
Want to really blow your mind? Here’s a screenshot of MACE (which, again, no system software used) running SoftWindows (a PC emulator for 68k Macs)… running Windows 3.1.
That’s my kind of weird. Now, here’s hoping the development team can get a release out so we can all play with it.
This reminds me somewhat of “Executor” — a similar “run Mac software without MacOS” application that was released for DOS (and Linux).
Seriously. That sale. It’s rad.

Time for your “Normal” computer news! You know. The mainstream stuff. Microsoft, Apple, Linux, Google. That sort of thing.
Dive in below, and feel free to listen to the podcast as you go.
Apple releases macOS Ventura
This week Apple released the latest revision of their desktop Operating System: “macOS 13 — Ventura”.
Among the new features, Stage Manager (a tool for organizing windows on the desktop) and Freeform (a whiteboard-like software for real-time collaboration) seem to be the most standout.
Some of the Lunduke Journal Community members had some initial thoughts:
“It feels like a refined experience over Monterey. I really like the Continuity Camera that allows you to use your iPhone camera—that’s pretty nice and practical. It also has a brand new settings interface that is closer to the iOS experience. That’ll be a big change for people.” - microwerx
“Installed fine on 3 macs…Intel and Apple Silicon. Already ran into the “how do I do something I already knew how to do” since the system preferences is completely different. Looking forward to using my iPhone as a webcam. Seems more responsive, but that could be a placebo effect.” - leebase
And Dan Scott provided a few thoughts of his own:
“Everything is as it was before but it does feel a bit faster and less clunky to me.
One minor thing that I like that I doubt anyone will really notice or care about, but in the About This Mac window, they went back to the simplified style that we had in earlier versions up to Mavericks. They changed it to include more info with Yosemite. I personally like this.
The feature I was waiting for the most was Stage Manager. It's nice, and I like it, but I wish it would show all of your open windows. Instead, it only shows your 5 most recent windows and hides the rest so command+tabbing is still your best bet for cycling through open windows. Running Stage Manager hides the desktop icons, though this can be changed in the system settings, or just click the desktop. I'm not sure there's a real need for something like this, but it's a cool feature. It definitely works better on my external monitor. It just takes up too much space on the Air's little display.
I'm not sure how I feel about the new System Settings layout yet. It's very much like iOS now, but I think I still prefer the more traditional System Preferences layout.”
You can read more of Dan’s first impressions on his Substack.
Canonical releases Ubuntu 22.10 “Kinetic Kudu”
The latest “will only be supported for a couple months” version of Ubuntu has been released. With some of the major updates being:
-
The default audio server is now PipeWire instead of PulseAudio.
-
Ubuntu 22.10 is shipped with the new 5.19 Linux kernel.
-
GNOME has been updated to include new features and fixes from the latest GNOME release, GNOME 43.
-
The new Steam snap available on Ubuntu Software includes the latest Mesa.
One fascinating tidbit: Canonical does not once mention “Snap” packaging in their full release notes.
Microsoft looking at changing how Linux boots, wants to require TPM 2.0
Microsoft engineer, Lennart Poettering, has unveiled his (and, assuredly, Microsoft’s) desires to tightly intertwine the Linux boot process with TPM 2.0.
The TPM (Trusted Platform Module) of course, being created by Microsoft.
While there are interesting — and valid — points made by Poettering (creator of systemd), the idea of making the mere act of “booting Linux” reliant on a locked down Microsoft specification… well… no sir, I don’t like it.
Linux to drop 486 support?
This week, Linus Torvalds stated on the Linux Kernel Mailing list:
“We got rid of i386 support back in 2012. Maybe it's time to get rid ofi486 support in 2022?”
And then he followed that up by stating:
“So I really don't think i486 class hardware is relevant any more.Yes, I'm sure it exists (Maciej being an example), but from a kerneldevelopment standpoint I don't think they are really relevant.At some point, people have them as museum pieces. They might as wellrun museum kernels.”
Are we about to lose 486 support in Linux? Looks like it. Is that a huge deal? Probably not. But I don’t like it.
No, sir. I don’t like it one bit.
Microsoft ships ARM Windows computer
Want a $600 Windows computer that 32 GB of RAM, 512 GB NVMe drive, a Snapdragon® 8cx Gen 3 CPU, and a thin little form factor?
Microsoft will now sell you one.
It’s intended for developers (it’s dubbed the “Windows Dev Kit 2023”), but it still looks rather nice. Even has an ARM native version of Visual Studio and Microsoft 365. And Windows running on this ARM box has WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux)… so you can do all your Linux-y stuff on it.

On Wednesday we talked about the “Normal” computer news.
But today is not Wednesday. Today is Sunday.
Thus we do the only logical thing… we talk about the “Weird” computer news.
Alternative Operating Systems. Retro computing. And funky stuff that most people will never hear about… but are mind-melting-ly awesome.
Solitaire via Gopher
This isn’t exactly breaking news — it was made back in April — but it was news to me. Plus… it’s so ridiculous and awesome that it deserves to get talked about.
Someone built a functional game of Klondike Solitaire… on Gopher. Yeah. That Gopher (the one before HTTP and HTML). Not kidding. Take a peek:
Think about that for a minute. Think about the limitations of Gopher. Then let your brain slowly melt.
From the genius behind this work of art:
“In the 1990’s a text based system called “Gopher” competed against the World Wide Web.
The web won.
However Gopher is still around today and so I decided to make a version of Solitaire that you can play over Gopher!”
So grab a Gopher Client, and head to gopher://worldofsolitaire.com/.
OpenBSD 7.2 released
OpenBSD doesn’t get enough love. It is a truly impressive operating system. And their glorious leader (Theo de Raadt) just announced the new 7.2 version.
And, as is often the case with OpenBSD, the release notes are ahem rather extensive.
But this little bit certainly jumped out at me:
-
New/extended platforms:
-
Added support for Ampere Altra
-
Added support for Apple M2
-
Added support for Lenovo ThinkPad x13s and other machines using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 (SC8280XP) SoC.
Plus… check out the release artwork!
Pumpkin OS gets file browser and resource editor
I continue to be excited about the prospect of getting my hands on Pumpkin OS — a system that runs PalmOS applications in a multi-tasking, multi-window environment. Basically a “Desktop PalmOS”. It’s nuts.
Well the developer recently teased another feature of Pumpkin OS:
“I was reminded that every OS should have a "file browser thing" and maybe one resource editor or two, so here is a first try for #PumpkinOS.”
Super cool. When I asked the developer when he might make a public release, this was the response:
“Soon I hope... there are so many small things to tweak.”
Am I excited to try it out? You bet, I am.
Zeal 8-Bit OS for a new Z80 computer
In “because you can never have enough operating systems for 46 year old CPU architecture” news…
Zeal, a brand new operating system for the Z80, has just been released. From the project’s GitHub page:
“Zeal 8-bit OS is an operating system written entirely in Z80 assembly for Z80 computers. It has been designed around simplicity and portability. It is inspired by Linux and CP/M. It has the concept of drivers and disks, while being ROM-able.”
The “inspired by Linux and CP/M” bit already had my interest. But there’s more…
“…this project is in fact part of a bigger project called Zeal 8-bit Computer, which, as it name states, consists of an entirely newly designed 8-bit computer. It is based on a Z80 CPU.”
Seriously. Check out the “Zeal 8-bit Computer”.
Ladybird Web Browser continues improving
I’m a big fan of SerenityOS. Love the design. Love the passion of the developers and community behind it. Love the amazing, breakneck speed of their progress.
And I’m also a big fan of the web browser project that evolved as an off-shoot of SerenityOS: Ladybird.
Obviously a brand new, from scratch web browser has a lot of work ahead of it in trying to render the “modern web” properly. I mean, heck, it takes Firefox roughly 200 Bazillion Gigawhompers of RAM to render a simple blog nowadays.
Just the same, Ladybird is making huge strides towards rendering modern (and commonly used) web sites correctly. Here Ladybug is rendering Wikipedia almost perfectly (a few minor little issues):
And here is Ladybird’s take on GitHub:
Not too darned shabby!
The number of issues stopping me from being able to use Ladybird full time are dwindling almost by the day. Darned impressive!

Wolfenstein, Enemy Territory is currently free at GOG
Nullman alerted us to this deal. Free game. No DRM. Sweet.
Meatlotion had a video chat with Michael Tomczyk
Michael Tomczyk was the PM for the Commodore VIC-20. Legend. And one of our community members had a video chat with him. So groovy.
A new 8-Bit fantasy computer / VM
GeekOnSkates shows off his new project: Geek-Rig. Here’s how he describes it:
“The Geek-Rig is software that works like a brand new 8-bit computer. I've heard all kinds of names for projects like this, ranging from "fantasy emulator" to "emulator of a system that doesn't exist" to "virtual machine". I kind of like the idea of calling it a VM, cuz that really is the most accurate and least wordy description. Anyway, it runs on an emulated 6502, the same processor as most 8-bit things ran on, and designed to run inside a Linux terminal. I expect its main purpose will be for games, though of course it's not limited to just that.”
So cool!
Is there a WYSIWYG word processor that doesn’t suck?
Peleg posed the question. Many, many thoughts.

Here comes the “Normal Computing” news of the week!
What is “Normal Computing”? Stuff about Microsoft, Apple, Google, and the like. Big Tech. The “Big 5”. Mainstream. You know. “Normal”.
Microsoft drops “Office” name… “Microsoft is now 365”
In “well that’s a dumb idea” news… Microsoft is officially killing off their “Microsoft Office” branding — which has been a cornerstone of the company for over 30 years — and renamed their office suite… “Microsoft 365”.
As someone who worked on the Microsoft Office development team for many years, I have thoughts:
-
You use “Microsoft Office” to do “Office” stuff. What do you do with “Microsoft 365”? 365 stuff?
-
Everyone knows the “MS Office” brand. Ditching it is stupid.
-
The marketing and product executives at Microsoft clearly have too much time on their hands, and nothing to do.
-
In short: This is dumb.
Apple makes new, colored iPads with USB-C
“We’re so excited to bring the completely redesigned iPad to our most advanced iPad lineup ever,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “With a large 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, powerful A14 Bionic chip, a first-ever landscape front camera, fast wireless connectivity, USB-C, and support for incredible accessories like the new Magic Keyboard Folio, the new iPad delivers more value, more versatility — and is simply more fun.”
Quick thoughts:
-
USB-C! Huzzah!
-
They moved the front facing camera to make it more logical. Good move.
-
Colors are cool. Reminds me of when the iMacs got multiple colors.
-
Strangely, it appears the stylus (Apple Pencil) is not USB-C. So it needs an adapter. Odd. This seems like it must be temporary.
-
Still no expandable storage.
-
Still no replaceable battery.
Prices start at $449 (without the stylus or keyboard) and go up from there.
GitHub Copilot Investigation
A new website has launched to collect stories of people who believe their licenses and copyrights have been violated by Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot.
“We’re investigating a potential lawsuit against GitHub Copilot for violating its legal duties to open-source authors and end users.”
“Microsoft and OpenAI must be relying on a fair-use argument. In fact we know this is so, because former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman claimed during the Copilot technical preview that “training [machine-learning] systems on public data is fair use”.
Well—is it? The answer isn’t a matter of opinion; it’s a matter of law. Naturally, Microsoft, OpenAI, and other researchers have been promoting the fair-use argument. Nat Friedman further asserted that there is “jurisprudence” on fair use that is “broadly relied upon by the machine[-]learning community”. But Software Freedom Conservancy disagreed, and pressed Microsoft for evidence to support its position. According to SFC director Bradley Kuhn:”
“[W]e inquired privately with Friedman and other Microsoft and GitHub representatives in June 2021, asking for solid legal references for GitHub’s public legal positions … They provided none.”
Firefox version 106 gets… sneaker features?
The One-Hundred and Sixth major version of Firefox came out this week. What’s new?
-
Editing PDF’s within Firefox.
-
Text recognition from images (on macOS).
-
Swipe navigation on Linux.
But the big feature that Mozilla is touting? They partnered with a sneaker maker to promote… feelings? Or colors? Or something?
“‘Independent Voices’ are the voices of the past and present that create a better future,” Lascio said. “I chose this as my inspiration for the collaboration because it feels authentic to me but it also aligns with Firefox and the vision that we can make the world better, on the internet and beyond.”
- Keely Lascio, Street-wear and sneaker designer
This new feature lets you tell Firefox that you are… an… “Activist”… with a “balanced intensity”… which… makes… the window border… blue? Thanks to… sneakers?
This is clearly what we call a “Killer Feature” of a web browser.
Oh. And they also added “Firefox View”. Which nobody will ever use.

It’s time for the important news of the week! And this week is a fun one!
Haiku Beta 4 is “imminent”!
The September “Haiku Activity Report” has a number of excellent updates in it… but this little tidbit at the bottom of the monthly report was especially exciting:
Are we beta4 yet?
Two blocking issues were resolved last month. The only ones that remain are “tasks” (i.e. not true issues, but things which must be changed before the next release, and should not be hard to do at all.)
Thus it is my plan to start the release process imminently: hurrah! This should have happened months ago, but things were delayed as usual.
That’s right. They “plan to start the release process imminently”. Awesome news.
And absolutely perfect timing, as The Lunduke Journal Community is going to be doing a “Haiku Week” starting on November 9th. Looks like we’ll be able to use Beta 4 of Haiku for it! Huzzah!
Serenity OS is 4 years old
October 10th marked the 4 year anniversary of the very first commit of Serenity OS.
It is absolutely amazing what this crew of developers, led by Andreas Kling, has accomplished in those 4 years. To the point where they now have their own programming language, web browser, and an extraordinarily powerful (and oddly polished) desktop operating system.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Serenity is going places. I would not be surprised if this system begins to gain significant traction as a “daily driver” operating system very, very soon.
Amiga OS 4.1 SDK Update Released
Ready to blow your mind?
Amiga OS is still in development.
Like… the real, original Amiga OS.
The company who has the rights to this side of Amiga OS (the legal history of Amiga is complicated and wild at this point) had released “AmigaOS 4.1 SDK 54.16”
This updated SDK includes new versions of GCC (yes, Amiga has GCC as well), VBCC (another C compiler), Git and Subversion support, an updated SSL library, and a bunch of other stuff.
If you’re looking at that list of SDK features and thinking to yourself, “Huh… so AmigaOS has modern development tools…”, you’d be right. In fact, porting many Linux and BSD applications to AmigaOS is quite doable with this SDK (considering the already fairly impressive POSIX compatibility of the Amiga).

Officially “Command Line Week” starts at 8am (Eastern) on Wednesday.
But I’m just too excited. So I recorded the podcast episode and am posting it about 10 hours early. Let’s do this!
Here is a quick outline of the schedule of events (all times Eastern):
-
Wednesday, Oct 12 @ 8am — Command Line Week kickoff podcast
-
All Week — The Community posting all manner of Command Line goodies at Lunduke.Locals.com
-
Saturday, Oct 15 @ 11am — Video Hangout for Founding Members and Lifetime Subscribers
-
Saturday, Oct 15 @ 12pm — Text Chat for all subscribers over on Lunduke.Locals.com
-
Wednesday, Oct 19 @ 8am — Wrap-up podcast
Plus: Over the course of the week, I’ll be posting articles related to the Command Line (Linux Shells, etc.) on The Lunduke Journal — like the recent “The History of the First Computer Shell”.
And don’t miss Gabe’s Awesome List of TUI Software! It’s a fantastic place to start on your Command Line journey!
Make sure you have a Lunduke.Locals.com account!
This is key to unlocking the full enjoyment of Command Line Week!
While Substack is absolutely amazing, Locals provides the community features we need to fully enjoy the awesomeness of something like this — including the ability for everyone to make top-level posts, live chats, and more. It simply is not possible entirely via Substack.
To make getting a Locals account easier for folks, I’m going to have a very specific sale… that is only available if you take advantage of it through Lunduke.Locals.com.
I know. I know. I said I wasn’t going to have any more sales this year. But I am so excited about Command Line Week — I don’t want anyone to miss out! Plus… I’m the boss. I can change my mind if I want to. ;)
How to take advantage of this deal
Repeat: This sale is only available if you create an account on Lunduke.Locals.com. The whole point is to bring more of you over to Locals to enjoy the good times! However, both of these options also come with full access on Substack as well! Best of both worlds!
-
Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/Subscription.
-
Choose “Card” and “Annual”.
-
Enter the amount of the subscription you want (choose from the options below).
-
Lunduke will follow up with you to make sure you have full access to both Substack and Locals. (This usually only takes a couple hours.)
Founding Member Subscription - Cost: $125 / Year $75 / Year
Benefits: Everything from the Standard Subscription, plus:
-
A monthly video hangout with Lunduke & other Founding Members
-
Full access to both Lunduke.Locals.com and Lunduke.Substack.com
-
Founding Member Email Newsletter
-
Personalized Audio Messages
Lifetime Subscription - Cost $350 (one time) $200 (one time)
Benefits: Everything from the Founding Member Subscription:
- For life… pay once, and and you get all of the perks… for as long as The Lunduke Journal exists. Which, considering Lunduke has been publishing articles and podcasts for over 15 years, is likely to be a good, long time.
I highly recommend the Lifetime Subscription. It is just such a good deal.
Note: This deal cannot be combined with the “Upgrade System of Awesomeness” (where you can apply your current subscription towards an upgraded one. It’s already too good of a deal. Stacking them would just be… insane. :)

What follows is the most important news for the week! Linux-y news! Retro computer news! Alternative OS news! You know… the stuff that matters!
The Free Software Foundation is 37 years old!
On October 4th, 1985, Richard Stallman founded the Free Software Foundation.
Weird thought: On October 3rd, 1985, the Free Software Foundation didn’t exist.
After all these years, it’s almost hard to imagine a world where the FSF wasn’t around.
A physical, retro-Hard-Drive sound simulator: HDD Clicker
This mad genius got tired of the silence of his flash based hard drives. He longed for the days when his bit, magnetic hard drives made all of those awesome “hard drive noises”.
So he did something about it: He build a small device that made that noise when his flash drives are accessed..
Check out the video demos he gives. Turn the sound up. Just lovely.
I want four.
Canonical launches Ubuntu Pro as free service for individuals
Canonical is now offering an “Ubuntu Pro” service for individuals… for free.
“Anyone can use Ubuntu Pro for free on up to 5 machines”
And then, naturally, companies and big organizations will need to purchase a subscription plan for the Ubuntu Pro service. Makes sense. And, really, is a model I quite like: Businesses and Enterprise customers are helping fund the development and support… which directly benefits the individuals. Nice.
The primary purpose of Ubuntu Pro looks to be “ten years” of security updates for the core OS plus “23,000” other packages:
“Ubuntu Pro (currently in public beta) expands our famous ten-year security coverage to an additional 23,000 packages beyond the main operating system.
Including Ansible, Apache Tomcat, Apache Zookeeper, Docker, Drupal, Nagios, Node.js, phpMyAdmin, Puppet, PowerDNS, Python 2, Redis, Rust, WordPress, and many more...”
Honestly, this seems like the way to go for folks using Ubuntu. Better support, longer lifespan of updates in the repository… if I were running Ubuntu, I’d probably jump on that. Especially considering the fact that it’s free.

It’s Sunday! Which means it’s time for some Linux, Alternative OS, & Retro Computing news!
You know… the important stuff.
The podcast & the article! All in one spot! Huzzah!
GNU toolchain hosting moving to… Linux Foundation
It appears that the GNU toolchain projects — which includes GCC, Make and glibc — are preparing to move their hosting entirely to… The Linux Foundation.
Seriously.
From the announcement:
“During the Sourceware / Infrastructure BoF sessions at GNU Cauldron, the GNU Toolchain community in collaboration with the Linux Foundation and OpenSSF, announced the GNU Toolchain Infrastructure project (GTI). The collaboration includes a fund for infrastructure and software supply chain security, which will allow us to utilize the respected Linux Foundation IT (LF IT) services that host kernel.org and to fund other important projects.”
This will definitely not end badly. cough
VM2 - a modern VMU for the Sega Dreamcast!
A new project to create a modern, updated memory unit for the Sega Dreamcast has raised almost 150 thousand dollars over on Idiegogo. And, I gotta say, it looks kinda awesome.
“The VM2 project aims in the total reproduction and upgrade of the original VMU for our beloved Dreamcast. The VMU was one of the greatest console's assets, but with many design flaws. Now, with the VM2, all of these flaws are eliminated giving the user an experience that truly feels like next-gen! Internally, the VM2 received a totally fresh design with modern electronics. Externally, it is upgraded and at the same time keeps the original looks & feels, as a tribute to the original VMU.
Features & Upgrades
-
New monochrome backlit LCD
-
Higher screen resolution
-
Micro-SD storage
-
Internal storage of 128KB (200 blocks)
-
Embedded High-capacity battery
-
USB-C port (for charging & connecting to a PC)
-
Original Audio support
-
DreamEye support
-
Original language support (EN/JP)
-
LCD game images streaming to PC
-
Charging from both the controller, and the USB-C port
-
Support for VM2-to-VM2 connection (with future firmware update)”
NES-OS… an OS. For the NES.
There is a new OS — albeit a limited one — for the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES-OS.
“NESOS is an operating system designed for the Nintendo Entertainment and Family Computer Systems. The operating system features two core applications, the word processor, and the settings. The word processor allows users to print characters and certain blocks to the screen, then save that data in the form of a file for later use or editing. The settings app displays system information and lets the user select one of seven cursors, and one of 53 possible desktop background colors. It also acts as the file manager, allowing users to delete their saved files.”
It’s limited. Highly limited. Only able to save 8 files (of up to 2k each). But, still. Super cool that it was done at all.
Fun side note: This is not the first project called “NES-OS”. There was another one created 6 yeas ago, which you can find on Git Hub, which took a completely different approach. That one consisting of a design for a PS/2 hardware interface (so a keyboard could be connected to the NES), a command line, a BrainF interpreter, and two sample games (Life and Snake)
Fedora shipping without some codecs
Fedora 37 has disabled GPU support for some media codecs (such as H.264) due to legal concerns.
This has caused many to be quite annoyed — understandably — because not having support for some popular codecs is inconvenient.
That said… this is not exactly unprecedented.
In fact… this is the very reason that Linux Mint exists at all. Mint was created for the sole purpose of having some media codecs preinstalled… codecs that Ubuntu did not feel like they could legally distribute in many countries at the time. There was, quite literally, no other reason for Mint existing in those early days.
Likewise, openSUSE (which I used to be on the Board for) also opted to not distribute many such “legally dubious” media codecs — such as MP3 — back in those days. Resulting in multiple openSUSE based distros that added the codecs in.
System76 ditching GTK for new POP!_OS desktop
It appears that System76, the company behind the Pop!_OS Linux distribution, is working to ditch GTK for their upcoming “Cosmic” desktop environment. Instead opting to use the, Rust based, Iced framework.
According to one of the developers:
“After much deliberation and experimentation over the last year, the engineering team has decided to use Iced instead of GTK.
Iced is a native Rust GUI toolkit that's made enough progress lately to become viable for use in COSMIC. Various COSMIC applets have already been written in both GTK and Iced for comparison. The latest development versions of Iced have an API that's very flexible, expressive, and intuitive compared to GTK. It feels very natural in Rust, and anyone familiar with Elm will appreciate its design.
COSMIC Settings will be developed in tandem with, and from, this toolkit.”
It remains to be seen how this will turn out. I have many questions and thoughts:
-
How will this affect GTK apps running on Pop!_OS?
-
From looking at the screenshots, it’s hard to see a visual or usability reason for the change.
-
Is this another example of “let’s re-write it in Rust because Rust is a religion and it is blasphemy to not use Rust”?
-
Yet another GUI toolkit and desktop, eh? That sort of thing doesn’t have a great track record for working out for distro companies that try it.
-
More fragmentation in an already fragmented Linux GUI application ecosystem.
-
That said… I certainly appreciate when projects blaze their own trail. So… who knows! Could be great!
