Abrahamic Religions

by

This WP Page was started on ‘Aug 13, 2008 at 8:59 PM’ at my old ‘THE SWAMP HERMIT’S REPORT’ blog – which was moved from Blogger to WordPress in May of 2004. The blog is still Public, but is only updated occasionally. Here is the link to Original page: Abrahamic Religions

Most of the links are working, but some are broken or gone, and I will not try to fix most of them—which would require a lot of work, even if there were new links available. The reader can search for newer info on the subject of those links. For Example: the video “Maps of War – History of Religion” link doesn’t work anymore because ‘Vodpod videos no longer available’, but there are other similar videos available—just not as good as the original one, IMHO.

I wrote the original using HTML (94 pages before this editing), over a span of time that may have actually started before 8/13/2008, and it got a little messy with new edits being added—and ‘Such’. Tried just a copy & paste of that page to the post here—into the Visual of my Classic Editor, but that didn’t come out right. Then used the original HTML Word.docx – which worked out OK. The original Abrahamic Religions page may be easier to follow. 🤔

I will do some tweaking before publishing here—just not sure how much, so for now, it will be a ‘Work in Progress’. I made notes during some of the tweaking and reediting – they were made in Green. Most of the link issues were from Wikipedia, i.e., the articles had changed so much from my original quotes that I just used Italics to show that I quoted it at one time.

Is Microsoft making Windows 11/12 a subscription OS? – ‘Do the Math!’

by

Microsoft’s FY 2022 revenue for Windows was a staggering $24,761,000,000.00 (almost 25-Billion dollars). About 1.6-Billion people use a MS Windows OS.

Is Microsoft willing to cut about $25-Billion in revenue each year, or would they rather keep that revenue and focus on ‘Growth’ with an eye towards new revenue sources?

Is Microsoft willing to lose a huge chunk of those 1.6-Billion Windows users by forcing them all to use a Microsoft Windows OS subscription?

VELOCIFIRE Wireless Mechanical Keyboard – TKL71WS with Ice Blue Backlit

by

The VELOCIFIRE Wireless Mechanical Keyboard TKL71WS 71-Key Tenkeyless Brown Switches Compact Gaming Keyboard with Ice Blue Backlit for Copywriters, Typists, and Programmers is the best keyboard I’ve ever owned, and just purchased a second one for only $25.99.

Couple years ago, I had grown tired of the big old Full-size Wireless Microsoft or Logitech no backlit squishy keyboards that I had been using for decades, and decided to test some new ones. Had never had a backlit keyboard, and was having to grab a light too often to see where a key was, even when a small desk lamp was on.

WOW!!! Can’t believe it took me that long to get a backlit keyboard!? Am no gamer, so was wanting to avoid one with flashing lights. Desktop space was also important—especially the Prime Desktop Real-estate area under and in front of the display (I use gas spring arms for displays).

So many choices!?! Ended up buying four to test. Liked the VELOCIFIRE Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, TKL02WS 87 Key w/ white light the best for over a year, but the nice soft blue light from the TKL71WS kept calling me – it looked so small though, and where were all the keys!?!

Then again, the TKL71WS was not only incredibly lightweight compared to the ship anchor weight of the TKL02WS, but its footprint didn’t require much Prime Real-estate area.

Alpine Linux 3.18.4 – Small. Simple. Secure.

by

Alpine Linux caught my eye the other day, in this article: Looney Tunables: New Linux Flaw Enables Privilege Escalation on Major Distributions. Other major Linuxes were found to be vulnerable and exploitable to Looney Tunables, with Alpine Linux being the exception of those tested.

‘Alpine Linux, which uses the musl libc library instead of glibc.’ I did a post on Linux security flaws – Here. Then decided to do a post on Alpine Linux installation. Mainly an instructional post on how to install it, which is long, so I won’t have a lot of info on the inner workings of Alpine Linux.

For more info, Jack Wallen has a good article on – What is Alpine Linux?

EU to Russia – ‘War in Ukraine is an “existential threat” to Europeans’

by

Putin made the biggest mistake in Russian history by reinvading Ukraine. That is now his Legacy, but he keeps hoping that the Europeans and/or the Americans are going to help him save his Legacy—as in, one or both will just abandon Ukraine and the Ukrainians.

Putin had accidentally exposed Russia’s Military weaknesses to the entire Planet Earth, and Putin now hopes that the Europeans and America are going to stand idly by and give Russia the chance to rebuild their once renown Military Power!?

I don’t think so. 🤔 Why not allow Putin to compound his first “biggest mistake in Russian history” by making his second “biggest mistake in Russian history”? With such obviously *BIG* mistakes making going on, it wouldn’t seem to be possible for him to make a third one, but heck—who would’ve guessed back on 2/24/2022 that Ukraine was going to repel that Russian reinvasion and then force Russia into the defensive position.

Sorry, Vladimir “Adolf” Putin, but your Legacy is only going to get worse before you die…
