Prophet Muhammad in the Bible

#Prophet #Muhammad #Bible #Quotes
Old Testament:
In the Song of Solomon, chapter 5 verse 16, we read in Hebrew: “Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem.” It means “His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.”

The Lineage:
Prophet Muhammadisfromthe Lineageof ProphetIbrahim(Abraham)
andhisgift Slave Girl(Hagar- Hajrah)-whilemostofJewish Prophetsare fromthe Lineageof ProphetIbrahimandhis Wife Sarah;

• A NeW prophet lIke Moses:
15 “The Lord your God WIll raIse up for you a prophet lIke me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen— 16just as you desired of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God or see this great fire anymore, lest I die.’ 17 And the Lord said tome, ‘They
are right in what they have spoken. 1吕 l WIll raIse up for them a prophet lIke you from among theIr brothers. And l WIll put my Words In hIs mouth, and he shall speak to them all that l
Command hIm. 19 And Whoever WIll not lIsten to my Words that he shall speak In my name, l myself WIll requIre It of hIm.

• prophet lIke unto Moses: Deuteronomy 1吕:1吕
20 But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or[f] who speaks in the name of other gods, that same
prophetshall die.’ 21 And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?’— 22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the Lord has not spoken;the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.

Prophet Jesus was Not like Prophet Moses - because he did not marry, he was only given the Gospel and guiding Principles - but he did not rule politically in this world; till when he will return and slay the Antichrist;

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[c] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.

Young people typically start out on the political left but become more conservative as they get older. Baby boomers who once marched against the Vietnam war got jobs, got married and had children. Now their grandchildren see them as tethered to Fox News.

Today’s young Americans are following the first part of that pattern. Ask a group of them to choose between capitalism and socialism and they will split right down the middle.

EPSTEIN FILES SITREP

What everyone is missing are the CHILDREN who were abused by EPSTEIN and OTHERS. I don’t care whether he killed himself or not.

For me, I want to believe
@FBIDirectorKash
&
@FBIDDBongino
but with the FBI’s track record with laptops (Hunter Biden, Anthony Weiner, Seth Rich, now Epstein), never mind the FBI’s previous track record for telling the truth, it is really hard to fathom that something else isn’t going on here.

I think there now needs to be an incredibly transparent briefing to the American people immediately by the DOJ.

The lack of trust in the FBI and DOJ is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

C’mon guys, the American people are not stupid or afraid to know the truth.

_Epstein didn't sexually abuse children all by himself_

Others had to know, because they had to actualize the operation. The scale of what Epstein was doing is simply way too large to believe that he wasn't "sharing" his children with others.

I queried Grok about the Epstein Client List => grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_aefe60…

I'm leaning towards two possibilities:

There is no "Epstein Client List" simply because one was never maintained (by Epstein or Maxwell, regardless of who else might have done so,) or else because it was destroyed.

Prince Andrew was credibly accused by Virginia Giuffre as having been one of Epstein's clients for his child provisioning service.

re: The (possibly apocryphal) Assange quote:

The blackmail material created by Epstein would be FAR more valuable to a major intelligence agency, and one (or more) of them would be able to use it with FAR less risk to itself.

Israeli Prime Minister and architect of the genocide in Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu, will be meeting with Trump at the White House tomorrow. This is the third time since Trump’s inauguration that they have met to conspire in creating "a New Middle East."

Their vision is to eradicate the Palestinian people, land, and all those who stand with the Palestinian cause to create a region subservient to US-Israeli domination.

This is wild.
The US department of state is deeply concerned about democracy in europe.
And the solution is support to Orban, Wilders, Le Pen, AfD and the like with finance and “narratives”.

In other words: USA will provide money and misinformation to support right wing parties in Europe in order to achieve the Trump “democracy” in Europe.

can an email go 500 miles in 2025?

Once upon a time, there was a university president who couldn’t send an email more than 500 miles, and the wise sysadmin said that’s not possible, so the president said come to my office, and lo and behold, the emails stopped before going 500 miles. Has technology improved? Can we send an email farther than 500 miles in 2025?

There’s a lot to the story that’s obviously made up, but if we fix the details so that it can happen, we can reproduce it.

connect


We need some code to do a nonblocking connect that will timeout quickly. This is mostly copied from the examples in getaddrinfo for lookups and connect, and connect for the nonblocking check, adapted slightly to have a very short timeout and report errors.

The poll timeout is 3ms, as specified by the lore. I think this is nonsense, why would an invalid or incomplete sendmail configuration default to three milliseconds? But that’s the time you get backing a lightspeed delay out of 500 miles. We’ll see if it matters.

The secret here is the kernel will always round 3ms up to at least one whole tick, 10ms. And maybe we get a bit extra from the current tick. So the actual timeout will be 10ms to 19ms. Enough time to make a quick roundtrip even at half c. poll or select with a zero timeout returns immediately, so not much chance of finishing the connection before that happens.

We’re not going to try sending an email with sendmail because I don’t want to wait three days while the message sits in the retry queue before failing. I hope they had some sandwiches delivered to the president’s office while the demonstration was in progress.

success


Let’s try connecting to a few schools, working our way across the country.

ix$ ./connect upenn.edu
it's a live one!
ix$ ./connect uchicago.edu
it's a live one!
ix$ ./connect ucla.edu
it's a live one!

Now I’m getting suspicious, we appear to be bending spacetime.

ix$ ping ucla.edu 
ping: Warning: ucla.edu has multiple addresses; using 3.33.167.235
PING ucla.edu (3.33.167.235): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 3.33.167.235: icmp_seq=0 ttl=245 time=1.162 ms
64 bytes from 3.33.167.235: icmp_seq=1 ttl=245 time=1.189 ms

Okay, so we have a problem where indeed the schools are not located in spacetime the way we were expecting. Everybody is using cloud whatsit for hosting, and they may well be hosted in the same data center. We haven’t gone 500 miles. For all I know, we haven’t gone 500 feet.

At this point I realized I’m also pinging web servers, not email servers, which we’ll get back to. There’s no reason the story can’t be about a failure to load a web page farther than 500 miles. But the story is funnier if it’s an email, haha, he thought it was strapped to a pigeon leg and the bird got tired.

redo


In search of success (failure), I switch to running the experiment backwards, looking for schools with ping times that are more realistic. After a while, I found a few.

ix$ ping rutgers.edu
PING rutgers.edu (128.6.46.111): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 128.6.46.111: icmp_seq=0 ttl=241 time=8.896 ms
64 bytes from 128.6.46.111: icmp_seq=1 ttl=241 time=5.768 ms
ix$ ./connect rutgers.edu                                                      
it's a live one!

Rutgers is pretty close, and indeed I can connect. Stretching out a bit farther, we start having some trouble.

ix$ ping cmu.edu 
PING cmu.edu (128.2.42.10): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 128.2.42.10: icmp_seq=0 ttl=242 time=13.764 ms
64 bytes from 128.2.42.10: icmp_seq=1 ttl=242 time=13.721 ms
ix$ ./connect cmu.edu
it's a live one!
ix$ ./connect cmu.edu
connect: connect failure: Operation timed out
ix$ ping www.maine.edu
PING lv-o-wpc-prod.its.maine.edu (130.111.28.163): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 130.111.28.163: icmp_seq=0 ttl=51 time=15.255 ms
64 bytes from 130.111.28.163: icmp_seq=1 ttl=51 time=15.310 ms
ix$ ./connect maine.edu
it's a live one!
ix$ ./connect maine.edu
connect: connect failure: Operation timed out

Maine is about 500 miles from here, so it seems we’re right on the edge again.

Dayton is 500 miles in the other direction, but the tubes are just a bit fuller.

ix$ ping udayton.edu
PING udayton.edu (131.238.73.184): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 131.238.73.184: icmp_seq=0 ttl=235 time=25.429 ms
64 bytes from 131.238.73.184: icmp_seq=1 ttl=235 time=25.437 ms
ix$ ./connect udayton.edu
connect: connect failure: Operation timed out
ix$ ./connect udayton.edu
connect: connect failure: Operation timed out

That’ll never work. As we might have predicted, the speed of light is not significantly different in 2025.

mx


And now to make it biblically accurate, let’s consider some MX servers. This would require switching the lookup code to res_query, or we can just use some existing tools to make observations.

First, get some records for schools.

host -t mx upenn.edu
upenn.edu mail is handled by 10 mxa-00390e01.gslb.pphosted.com.
host -t mx stanford.edu
stanford.edu mail is handled by 10 mxa-00000d07.gslb.pphosted.com.

Okay, so not really much different than www servers. There’s a ton of outsourcing. The ping times are interested however.

ix$ ping mxa-00390e01.gslb.pphosted.com
PING mxa-00390e01.gslb.pphosted.com (148.163.133.158): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 148.163.133.158: icmp_seq=0 ttl=242 time=62.538 ms
64 bytes from 148.163.133.158: icmp_seq=1 ttl=242 time=62.443 ms
ix$ ping mxa-00000d07.gslb.pphosted.com
PING mxa-00000d07.gslb.pphosted.com (67.231.157.125): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 67.231.157.125: icmp_seq=0 ttl=246 time=23.796 ms
64 bytes from 67.231.157.125: icmp_seq=1 ttl=246 time=23.564 ms

I can walk across town and hand deliver a postcard to Penn, but I can’t send them an email. Stanford, across the country, is almost but not quite within email range.

ix$ host -t mx ucla.edu
ucla.edu mail is handled by 1 smtp.google.com.
ix$ ping smtp.google.com
ping: Warning: smtp.google.com has multiple addresses; using 142.251.167.27
PING smtp.google.com (142.251.167.27): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 142.251.167.27: icmp_seq=0 ttl=109 time=6.533 ms
64 bytes from 142.251.167.27: icmp_seq=1 ttl=109 time=6.556 ms

Ha, there we go. I can send an email 3000 miles to UCLA without fear of timeout.

conclusion


The 500 mile limit for perfectly misconfigured servers is still in place, but good luck trying to determine which domains are accessible using a roadmap.

By Brandon Smith. One rule has remained unchanged for generations when it comes to gender division: Men are held responsible for everything, women accept no responsibility.

If you are a user of Kdenlive, did you ever try to use a playback speed different than 1? like 2 time speed for instance? In that case you may have heard glitchy audio. I think this is not a bug, but an implementation issue, I think Kdenlive should use timeline stretching audio scrubbing. It is a wide spread feature in modern video editors, a seemingly ubiquitous one. So much so that users can't spot that the feature is missing and just think that there is a bug. 1/2 #kdenlive #kde

It's a much needed feature for a modern video editor, and I think it should be considered as a priority since its addition could benefit Kdenlive and its user greatly. I opened a feature request here if you want more information: bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5… Maybe the feature already exist in MLT but I don't think so. Should we ask to implement it in MLT or could Kdenlive implement it on their side. If you know any app using MLT that has proper audio scrubbing, or have any info, let me know. 2/2

@Emmanuel Florac Indeed, Americans don't know what's really good for them, do they? Here we have a whole world trying to fix them and they're like the half dead patient that refuses to take his/her medication.

Americans don't realize that having the dollar overthrown and actually accommodating BRICS, would do us much more good than harm. Of course the delusions of empire would have to be lost.

CDU verhindert mit AFD ein schon bewilligtes Demokratieförderungsprojekt weil ihr der Verein zu links ist ...


1,2 Million Euro Förderung vom Bund abgelehnt weil die CDU nicht will. Da muss man sich gar nicht mehr wundern, dass es bei der Jugend zu Demokratieverdruss kommt.

Asking About Tuxedo Computers

First of all, I'm not sure this is the best community for this, so if you think there is a more suitable one, please inform me.

So I've been looking for manufacturers that sell computers with Linux out of the box and I remembered hearing about Tuxedo Computers. Some people seem to really like them, but I've also heard of some people complaining about them too.

And so I've come here to ask this community what are your experiences with this vendor? Is there somewhere else I should look? Thanks in advance.

We have a few Tuxedo computers and some other Linux brands at our company and are generally happy about them. Cheaper devices have a less than perfect keyboard (though I liked the one on the slimbook) a worse camera and microphone (though some are very ok).

I'm very happy with these Linux devices. The few makes for which we needed parts also supplied them but sending the device their way for repair took longer than we'd have wanted.

I loved my Pulse 15 (Gen 1) from Tuxedo

It was a performance monster and still had amazing battery life.
But as others have said, they only take some finished Clevo models - like most small distributors, who can't afford their own factory.

But they verify that everything runs with Linux, else they sometimes patch stuff.

And I need to highlight their support!
After years with my Pulse 15 the battery became a pillow, because I used a USB C charger that wasn't working right (always switched on and off, which killed the battery)
Pretty much without questions asked I got a new battery for free.

Now I have it to my nephew, who enjoys Minecraft on this laptop (still Linux), but the CMOS battery was dead.
Got that one for free as well after warranty

So, I can't really complain about them.
Actually the opposite.

But I still settled for a Framework 16, because I wanted something different and the models at that time weren't fitting my use case...

HUR publishes Russian military order, claims proof of Moscow increasing military footprint in #Armenia


#HUR published what it claimed was a #Russian army order to increase its military presence at a base in Armenia, two days after HUR's warning of such a move was denied by Yerevan.

HUR first made the claim on July 5, saying #Russia was increasing its forces at the Gyumri base to exert greater influence in the South #Caucasus and "destabilize the global security situation."
