Listen now (13 min) | An entire week devoted to everything BSD -- both old
and new!

FULL STORY ======================================================================

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 were 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 , youll 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 Lundukes posts that wont 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 youve got those two things youre 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 havent 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)

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

To get a Founding Member Subscription:

Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/subscription .

Choose the "Annual" option.

Enter "$95" in the amount field.

To get a Lifetime Subscription:

Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/support .

Choose "Give Once".

Enter "$295" in the amount field.

Lunduke will then set your accounts to full access across the whole Lunduke Journal family of publications (it is a manual process, so give Lunduke a few hours to take care of it). And feel free to reach out at bryan@lunduke.com
if you have any questions or hit any snags.

Woohoo BSD week is fun, anyone in here giving it a go? If you are what BSD did you choose?

I've gone for FreeBSD, I installed Xorg, sddm, i3-gaps, firefox, alacritty, syncterm (of course), audacious, and am having fun generally, playing with FreeBSD.

Have I encountered anything difficult or broken along the way? Well I'm in a VM























































































































































not on bare metal, so it wouldn't be fair of me to make any judgements, but here's a list of things that didn't just work out of the box (so to speak);

1920x1080 video resolution. I had to install from ports the xf86-video-qxl driver because that's what I need for running FreeBSD in a QEMU vm. Once I had this installed it was fairly straight forward just adding some configuration to























































































































































the Xorg configuration to allow it to use the qxl driver, and now I am in full res, and not stuck at 1280x720, which itself wasn't that bad.

That's it. No really, everything just all worked out for me, which I'm super stoked about. I wonder if it's going to be as easy on actual hardware. I might be putting that to the test soon, I think I could do almost everything I need in BSD, but it won't make my daily driver unless I can use Steam and game in it, which I can't, I don't think, yet.

Would love to know your experiences using BSD, whether you're using it just now























































































































































for the BSD week or if you've been using it a while or longer already.


Have fun, that's most important after all =)
