Biden's Executive Order 14071, forbids Russians from working with or using GPL'd software made in the USA. And that includes the Linux Kernel.

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 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?

The core Mozilla business has shifted from Firefox and search engines... to AI, user tracking, and advertising. All while pretending to fight against the evils of "cookies" and "paywalls". Mozilla wears the costume of a superhero while, in truth, they are a villain in the struggle for online privacy.

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.

Electronic Frontier Foundation argues that stopping small children from going to adult-only websites is a violation of the First Amendment.

This continues a pattern of the EFF moving away from their original mission... and focusing, instead, on fighting for little kids to have access to adult-only material.

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.

Our buddy, Chris Titus, put out a show entitled "Lunduke: The Alex Jones of Linux". Now, obviously, I had to invite him over to The Lunduke Journal to tell him all of the things he got wildly wrong.

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.

The Register victim blames Red Hat employee who files discrimination lawsuit. Gets called out. Immediately deletes Twitter account.

Note: This is not important... just goofy.

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.

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.

I have so many thoughts on this topic -- it's simply wild how many companies and online services are becoming "AI Platforms".

Back in 1994, Apple released the Macintosh Application Environment for UNIX. And it was kind of amazing.

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.

If you want to hear me ramble about the need for tools like this in the effort to bring down YouTube... this is the episode for you.

You asked me nerdy questions. I provided nerdy answers. That, right there, is nerdy teamwork.

Yeah. We're still talking about the GNOME Shaman. Because the GNOME Project & Foundation are acting really, really weird about it.

And, yeah. I say "2013" at the beginning. Woops.

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.

Mozilla. The Linux Foundation. The W3C. They seem to have forgotten what they exist to do.

But the news isn't all bad. There is a little silver lining. A sliver of one, anyway. A silver sliver.

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. 🤣

I am making this episode publicly available in case some other podcasters find it helpful.

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.

In fact… I kinda liked FreeBSD! At least a little!

Huh! Who saw that coming!?

Let’s take a moment to simply marvel at how massive an impact UNIX has had on the entire world of computing — an impact that has lasted for over 50 years.

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 [email protected] 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)

The full dates are available typed up here, for handy reference.

Only until Midnight tonight (February 7th) -- and only when done through Locals -- the following discounts are available:

Repeat: This is only available if you pick up the subscription via Locals.

That will give you full access to all three publications in The Lunduke Journal family -- also known as "The Lunduke Journal Triforce of Nerdiness".

* "The Lunduke Journal of Technology" - Computer history, news, opinion, & satire.  Covering everything form Linux & UNIX to Amiga & DOS.

* "The Lunduke Journal of Nerdy Entertainment & Retro Delights" - Nerdy entertainment, spanning all genres, mediums, and eras.

* "The Lunduke Journal of Conservative Nerdiness" - The only place in The Lunduke Journal world where politics are allowed.  Politics... from a nerdy perspective.

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.
