The end of 2025 is quickly approaching and while there are the various end of year holidays, you can still expect to find new and original content on Phoronix each and every single day of the year just as it’s been for more than a decade of the now 21-year-old Phoronix.com. The last day without any new content on Phoronix was all the way back in May of 2012. That’s due to my passion for Linux hardware and open-source, paired in more recent years with the more grueling environment to make ends meet with the ever increasing state of the web advertising industry, rampant ad-block use, and related challenges for web publishers. If you would like to show your support for Phoronix’s Linux hardware content over the past two decades, this week is the “Cyber Week”https://www..com/”Black Friday” sale to go ad-free, multi-page-articles on a single page, and other benefits at a reduced rate.
If you would like to show your appreciation for all the Linux hardware reviews and unique open-source Linux hardware/software content found on Phoronix.com, now through the end of day on 1 December (any timezone, not particularly strict), is the annual Cyber Week sale. In doing so you can enjoy the site ad-free, native dark mode for the main site, multi-page articles on a single page, and helping to keep this site going. With the depressing state of the ad industry, more tech advertisers focused on the likes of YouTube and Facebook, and relying on ad networks to serve the ads on Phoronix remain an unfortunate situation for the health of operations but my commitment to Linux remains.
For Cyber Week, you can enjoy discounted rates for Phoronix Premium: $30 USD for an annual subscription compared to the current rate of $45 per year or $150 USD for a lifetime subscription, down from the rate otherwise of $250.
To take advantage of this deal: first ensure you need to be registered on the Phoronix Forums as they are what handles the subscription/user management aspect. There is not any integrated sales support in there so the normal prices of premium subscriptions are listed there still. To get the discounted deals of $30 for a year subscription or $150 for a lifetime subscription, PayPal the amount of money to [email protected] (or you can use this PayPal link). For those preferring not to use PayPal or just want to use a CC directly, this Stripe link is happily accepted as well. Sending any amount extra will be treated as a tip or can be renewed for multiple years if desired, thanks! Then as soon as possible I will have activated your forum account to premium status. If your payment email address is different from your forum’s registered email address, please include your forum username when making the payment.
Email me at [email protected] with any questions. I am always happy to entertain corporate subscriptions / custom offers or similar as well to help support the site. Thanks for your support consideration — it means a lot with less than 0.5% of readers being paid subscribers — and happy holidays.
