CHILD
LinuxForHank
Back in 2013, I wrote a children's book for my daughter.
A book about Linux… that I could read to a 2 year old. I called it “Linux for Hank.”
The digital version (in both PDF and CBZ formats – DRM free, naturally) is available as a perk for everyone who subscribes to The Lunduke Journal either via Patreon or Locals.
More details here: https://lunduke.com/posts/2020-06-22/
This book is also available, for purchase (DRM-Free PDF, naturally) right here on LBRY.
Subscribers also get a bunch of other cool perks (and other DRM-Free eBooks), but for those that can't or don't want to subscribe, LBRY isn't a bad way to go! :)

COMIC
Hank1and2
Back in 2011, nearly a decade ago, I began writing a comic book.
A book about aliens invading earth, done in the art style of road signs. It was a goofy, family friendly, 1950's-esque sci-fi adventure.
And the critics loved it.
From Ain't It Cool News:
“Not only is the self-referential quality one of the finer points of the series, but the humorous writing makes the reader want to read every last word, instead of being tempted to skim.”
“Bryan Lunduke does not rest or depend on the fact that his style of artwork is purely based on road-signs; he takes advantage of this and backs up the pictures with hilarious text.”
From Wired:
“Some comics rely on gorgeous art. Some on fantastic writing. And some rely on that very hard to find sweet spot where the art and the dialogue work together to create something that is greater than the whole. That's the case with Road-Sign Hank and the Aliens.”
Despite the overwhelmingly positive critical response, life (read: day job) interfered and I had to put Hank on hold.
Now, in 2020, Hank is coming back to fight the aliens once more. (Huzzah!) Time to get caught up with issues 1 and 2 before the next new issue gets released.
You can purchase issues 1 and 2 -- right here in a single archive -- or you can subscribe to The Lunduke Journal and get these issues (and the next issues as it comes out) for free.

THE L
The-Lunduke-Journal---Issue--3
Issues of The Lunduke Journal are available for purchase here on LBRY, or via subscription at:
https://lunduke.locals.com/post/241707/current-perks-for-becoming-a-supporter-at-lunduke-locals-com
Hello all you lovely smelling nerds!
Here we are. Issue number three of The Lunduke Journal. And, as is becoming tradition, it is bigger (and, somehow, nerdier) than any issue that came before it.
This issue is focused on pairing the old with the new. Taking older computers (we're talking 30 and 40 years old here) and getting them onto the World Wide Inter-tubes. Transferring files between a computer made in 1982... and one made in 2020.
Which is both crazy and... downright wonderful.
Then, to show how this could be useful in practice, we spend a little time talking about building websites -- using plain text, on even some of the oldest Personal Computers -- in Hugo.
And, of course, we've got comic strips, Color-by-Number (this time of a Commodore Pet), and some new outfits for Paper Doll Tux the Penguin. Fun, nerdy, goofy stuff. Stuff to make us smile.
Smiling is good.
Two things you won't find in this issue: A news section and a cross stitch pattern.
I've used my editorial power and axed the "Tech News" portion of The Lunduke Journal. Felt... out of place. Who needs news, anyway?
The Nerdy Cross Stitch section, however, that baby is coming back in Issue #4! I've got a pattern that's a bit bigger in store. So if you've been working on patterns from the previous issues, you've got two weeks to get those bad mama jamas done before the new pattern drops!
As always, I hope the pages that follow bring nerdy joy into your life. A happy, nerdy respite from whatever less-than-happy things may be out there. You deserve it.
Yours in nerdiness,
Bryan Lunduke

LINUX
Linux-Sucks-2016---The-Commentary-Track
This is the commentary track for Linux Sucks 2016!
Which includes some behind-the-scenes stories about the 2016 Linux Sucks... including anecdotes of some of the guests that appeared in that years show -- Richard Stallman, Piers Anthony, Cory Doctorow, and Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst.
This was such a fun, ridiculous show. Wanted to provide a little peek behind the curtain on it.
If you haven't seen Linux Sucks 2016, I recommend watching that first. Otherwise it might not make a whole lot of sense. :)

ASK L
AskLunduke-Mar-01-2020
"Ask Lunduke" is a weekly podcast produced as a way of saying Thank You to all the people that support The Lunduke Journal on Patreon. By request, I am also making it available on LBRY for a small cost in LBC. Donate a bit and you can listen to the show as well, right here on LBRY, without needing to have a Patreon account.
More information: https://lunduke.com/posts/2020-03-02/
Topics on Ask Lunduke this week:
- What if AT&T didn’t go after the Berkeley and the BSD project in the late 80s? What do you think the computing, Free Software, and open source landscape would look like? (aka "What if the UNIX Wars didn't happen?")
- What do you think about Apple's recent move to deprecate kernel extensions in favour of system extensions? Does it make macOS more microkernel-ish in a long run? Is there a need for something similar to happen in a Linux world? I've heard Linus is against it mostly due to performance costs.
- Would you consider using an X server on DOS, as an alternative for Windows 3.x or 95? (ala DESQview/X)
- Is Linus Benedict Torvalds an obstacle/tyrant or a necessary Benign Dictator?
- How closely do you follow ReactOS? Do you think the army of MS lawyers will give them trouble as they get closer to completion?
- I have agreed to take a terminal challenge. I must only use a terminal (No window manager) for a week. What terminal based games would you recommend, to keep myself entertained? I already have noduko and pacman4console, but having just 2 games, might get boring quickly.
- What would an OS designed only for nerds, programmers, and tinkerers (instead of general public) look like? Is that a good idea?
