This Video concludes the series on Debian Email Servers!*NOTE: Video has been re-uploaded to remove some proprietary information that slipped in at a certain point in the video. *NOTE: At 39:53 I am demonstrating the file spamass-milter and there is a slight error. The lines OPTIONS="-r -1" and OPTIONS="-m" should be uncommitted so they take effect.Here is a pastebin with all the config files from the video series: http://pastebin.com/nDNzLJEXPlease let me know if you find one that I missed!Part 1 is here: youtube.com/watch?v=yjyfqyQAecwPart 2 is here: youtu.be/kou1y2woD7YPart 3 is here: youtube.com/watch?v=k3NbYLj3FPQ

C# Painter Program Joe McEntire 2015-11-09 | Link to sourcecode: http://pastebin.com/3jhSe4Qk (pastebin)Due to my newer projects which all require java, perl, and python, I haven't had much time to mess with C#. Feeling the burn for some good old windows programming, I threw together a video on how to make a quick and dirty paint program with C# in visual studio 2010. This will work in 2008 as well. This video is improvised and on the fly so there's no comments in the code and it's fast. It's not designed as a tutorial but just to show off for the curious. So if you've ever wanted to know how a basic ms paint like application can be made today is your lucky day! Hope you guys enjoy and let me know if you'd like to see more posts like this in the future. I'll make it happen. **This version of the video has the audio disabled!Link to sourcecode: http://pastebin.com/3jhSe4Qk (pastebin)

Debian Linux Email Server Part1 (Introduction) Joe McEntire 2015-10-21 | This is the introduction video for my tutorials that will show you how to Install an email server on Debian 8 Jessie, made up of: Postfix, Dovecot, SpamAssassin, Greylist, ClaimAV, Postfixadmin, and PHPMyAmdin. Part 2: youtu.be/kou1y2woD7Y Part 3: youtu.be/k3NbYLj3FPQ Part 4: youtu.be/bQGrCagMIzk*Note: At 33:00 - What I meant when I drew a line from Rainloop to the client machine was that Rainloop running on the client (Through the browser) will send the email directly through postfix. The point of the web client is that the web client is your client and no further software is needed. Big thanks to Jim Storch for pointing out this bit of confusion.**Note: The Let's encrypt service I mention in the video will not be available until November 16, 2015 according to their FAQ. Also they state in their FAQ that they will be using Identrust root certs so their issued certs will be trusted in many places from day one. You can read more here: letsencrypt.orgAnd their FAQ is located here: community.letsencrypt.org/t/frequently-asked-questions-faq/26I hope to have the remaining videos up within the next few weeks. Thank you for your patience.

Linux can now play Netflix naively using either Google Chrome or the excellent Vivaldi browser.****This video will show you how to get Firefox working with Flash, Java, and Silverlight with Netflix support on Debian Wheezy 7.x.The commands that I promised to put in the description:Pipelight Repository Key (Wheezy): wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/DarkPlayer:/Pipelight/Debian_7.0/Release.keyPipelight Repository Key (Jessie/Sid): wget http://repos.fds-team.de/Release.key Pipelight Repository (Wheezy): deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/DarkPlayer:/Pipelight/Debian_7.0 ./Pipelight Repository (Jessie): deb http://repos.fds-team.de/stable/debian/ jessie mainPipelight Repository (Sid): deb http://repos.fds-team.de/stable/debian/ sid main Firefox user agent string: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20120101 Firefox/30.0

C# How to play music loaded from the playlist object Joe McEntire 2013-05-28 | Metro media player code demonstrating how to load media files from a playlist object and play them.The solution to the question posed in this video is: using Windows.Storage.AccessCache;async private void selectMediaFolder() { FolderPicker folderpicker = new FolderPicker(); folderpicker.SuggestedStartLocation = PickerLocationId.MusicLibrary; folderpicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".mp3"); StorageFolder storagefolder = await folderpicker.PickSingleFolderAsync(); if(storagefolder != null) StorageApplicationPermissions.FutureAccessList.AddOrReplace("PickedFolderToken", storagefolder); }Something like that. Basically you need to have the user pick a "media" folder and then the StorageApplicationPermissions.FutureAccessList.AddOrReplace remembers that the program has permissions at that location.
C# Painter Program (Old Version) Joe McEntire 2012-10-19 | **This is the old version of the painter program, I have posted the new version, which is the same but lacks the audio, here: youtu.be/Bect9AsnsWsLink to sourcecode: http://pastebin.com/3jhSe4Qk (pastebin)Due to my newer projects which all require java, perl, and python, I haven't had much time to mess with C#.

So if you've ever wanted to know how a basic ms paint like application can be made today is your lucky day! It's also a double feature that includes my newest audio beat track which I think is a lot better than my last one. Hope you guys enjoy and let me know if you'd like to see more posts like this in the future. I'll make it happen. Also, if you'd like the source code or the project say so in the comments and I'll get it to you somehow. One final note, this is quick and dirty, as in not feature rich. It's designed to give viewers and idea of how this is done and not to be a full featured paint application.Link to sourcecode: http://pastebin.com/3jhSe4Qk (pastebin)
