The Register covered my article announcing @linuxjournal closing and included a number of quotes from my first goodbye that add extra context. https://www.theregister.co.uk/AMP/2019/08/08/linux_journal_closes_again_editor_says_os_buried_under_proprietary_software/
I can't speak for the rest of the @linuxjournal archive, but I own the decade+ worth of articles I wrote. A lot of them are just as relevant today (I refer to them myself quite often). Would anyone be interested in some kind of "Best of Hack and /" polished and updated compilation?
I'm so sorry to say it, but today @linuxjournal closed down for good. As you can imagine we are all so sad that this is the end. You can read my final goodbye here:

Today Linux Journal shut its doors for good. All staff were laid off and the company is left with no operating funds to continue in any capacity... https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/linux-journal-ceases-publication-awkward-goodbye
@lunduke
One day I was in my parents farm with my young nephew helping to get up a bunch of cows. We had them all up except a couple, but as we got them headed the right direction, we saw the entire herd getting out again. I yelled, "Dadgumit" and my nephew looked at me and repeated "Dadgumit!"
I looked at him and said, You know, it's a good thing that I don't cuss.
He said, "yeah."
@lukedashjr Shrug. A real man doesn't hit a lady or a kid.
You can call it a fallacy if you want to... but I hold that it's true.
If I hear of a man hitting a kid (or a lady)? I think less of him. As a man.
@jlcrawf Gol-dernit!
@henriquesga Me too. One of my favorites. Helps keep things in perspective when talking with someone I disagree with on a topic.
Lunduke believes that real men do their best to not swear around women or children.
Lunduke believes that real men do not hit women or children. Ever. Under any circumstances.
Lunduke recognizes that some will take issue with that stance — Lunduke thinks that is weird.
@stormchaser3000 You and me? We agree.
Lunduke does not like masked, hooded mobs that beat people up.
Lunduke feels like this should not be a controversial opinion.
Older computers make Lunduke smile.
Lunduke likes smiling.
Lunduke thinks we should all feel comfortable speaking openly about who we are and what we believe -- without fear of being attacked.
Lunduke doesn't care who you are...
where you're from...
what you did...
as long as you love Lunduke.
@hackercoding Ha! Totally could be. Oh, well. Glad you reached out!
@hackercoding Aaaaandd.... done.
Sorry about that, my dude! My guess is I missed you as I was going down the spreadsheet. But it's done now. :)
And it is, indeed, fun to play on the Librem 5. ;)
@GoatsLive RIGHT? Just glorious. I should have gotten one of these years ago.
