Peace light from Bethlehem: A ray of hope for Austria!

The ORF Peace Light from Bethlehem has arrived in Austria. At Vienna-Schwechat Airport, the peace light child Florian Mitter from Vorderweißenbach took over the flame that comes from the birth grotto of Jesus. This was lit this year by 11-year-old Jeries Fadi Khier, a child from a Christian family.

After the blessing by Pierbattista Cardinal Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, the flame began its journey to Austria. The light arrived at Vienna-Schwechat Airport on an Austrian Airlines scheduled flight and will be passed on throughout Austria by Florian Mitter. Patriarch Pizzaballa emphasized the importance of this symbol, especially in the tense situation in the Middle East. “Peace happens through the hearts of people,” he said, adding that the light represents “the dawn after a long night.”

Meaningful messages from high-ranking officials

ORF Upper Austria regional director Klaus Obereder emphasized the relevance of the peace symbol in times of conflict. Upper Austria's Governor Thomas Stelzer also described the peace light as a “strong sign of hope”. This peace campaign was launched in 1986 and has since developed into an international event in which Girl Scouts carry the flame into the world.

The central message of the Peace Light shows that in difficult times, the desire for peace and hope should remain strong in people's hearts. This initiative makes it possible to strengthen solidarity and a sense of community across national borders.

Technical information and developments

In another area, there is important news regarding web authentication for proxy setups. This describes how web traffic is sent to proxy servers, which then forward the connection to the Internet. Connections between client and proxy server can be based on TCP ports such as 3128 or 8080. The default web authentication configuration typically only listens on port 80, which can potentially cause problems when sending traffic to the proxy. A good network configuration is therefore essential to ensure smooth communication.

It is important to adjust the “WebAuth Proxy Redirection Port” in the configuration to ensure that the client is redirected to the correct proxy settings page. Users should be aware that the correct configuration of these systems is critical to the success of web authentication.

Practical guides to print queue management

In the current working world, efficient management of print jobs is also important. Viewing a printer's print queue in Windows 10 and 11 only takes a few steps. Users simply need to click the Start menu, select Settings, and select the desired printer from the Printers & Scanners menu to open the print queue.

If the pending print jobs list is empty, it means that there are no jobs. It is also advisable to use the Printer drop-down menu to ensure that the correct queue is displayed. Since support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025, users should upgrade to current systems in good time to continue to benefit from free software updates and technical support.

Overall, these events and instructions demonstrate both the power of the Peace Light and the need for modern technological facilities that are essential in today's world.
