Last Call For The Autumn Special For Ad-Free Viewing & Supporting Linux Hardware Testing

Last call for the Phoronix autumn "Oktoberfest" Premium sale: it runs through end of day Sunday, 27 September (any timezone - I'm not particularly strict). If you have been meaning to support the site, this is the window.

For this special, Phoronix Premium is $35 USD per year instead of the usual $45, or $160 for a lifetime subscription instead of $250. That is less than $3 a month to read the site ad-free, get multi-page articles rendered on a single page, use native dark mode, and have priority feedback / test requests — without the collateral damage of ad-blockers.

More importantly, it is how the daily original Linux hardware reviews, performance benchmarks, and open-source news keep happening. After 22+ years, well less than 1% of readers go Premium while more than half of ads are blocked. Web ads are still the main way the site stays online. Premium is the cleanest way to offset that and keep a one-person Linux hardware operation running through a brutal stretch for independent publishers.

Full payment details (PayPal or Stripe, etc), forum account notes, tips, multi-year renewals, and custom corporate/company-wide subscriptions are in the original announcement. If you have been on the fence, this weekend is the easy time to lock in the discounted rate. Thanks for the ongoing readership - and Prost to those who help keep the next thousands of Linux/open-source news articles and hardware reviews possible.
