With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
– Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865

From a Facebook news article about Harvey Weinstien to a custom on how a specific people name themselves I found that you can learn something from stupid people.

Also in 1989, Miramax released two arthouse films, The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, and director Pedro Almodóvar‘s film Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, both of which the MPAArating board gave an X-rating, effectively stopping nationwide release for these films. Weinstein sued the MPAA over the rating system. His lawsuit was later thrown out, but the MPAA introduced the NC-17 rating two months later.[15]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie_Me_Up!_Tie_Me_Down!
Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (Spanish: ¡Átame!, pronounced [ˈa.ta.me], “Tie Me!”) is a 1990 Spanish darkromantic comedy film written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar, and starring Victoria Abril and Antonio Banderas alongside Loles Léon, Francisco Rabal, Julieta Serrano, Maria Barranco, and Rossy de Palma. The plot follows a recently released psychiatric patient who kidnaps an actress in order to make her fall in love with him. He believes his destiny is to marry her and father her children.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_naming_customs
Spanish naming customs are historical traditions for naming children practised in Spain. According to these customs, a person’s name consists of a given name (simple or composite) followed by two family names (surnames). The first surname is usually the father’s first surname, and the second the mother’s first surname.
Over the years whenever I have a pending question I typically consult with the one true book of user-engorged world knowledge: Wikipedia.
Some things are just too awesome to keep around as tidbits of knowledge.

Well, it came time where I got my Wedding DVD, and I had to convert to to Digital Video. I had to dig deep deep into my history, since I used to order DVDs from Netflix back in 2006, Rip them, convert them, and then enjoy them later on.
So, fast forward to 2017, from Windows XP to Windows 10, and awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay we go.
Software Needed
SmartRipper 2.41
Optional: VLC Media Player from http://www.videolan.org
flaskmpeg from http://www.flaskmpeg.net/
XVid codec from https://www.xvid.com
Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (professional) from the Radium MP3 “copy”.
What to do
Insert the DVD, run SmartRipper. In SmartRipper, you’ll need to isolate the actual film you want, make sure all Chapters and Cells are selected, and Rip. Sit and wait until it’s done.
Load up flaskmpeg, select the .ifo that would contain your DVD. flaskmpeg is smart enough to read it and ask you what you want of it. Select Output and Configure Output Module to select the XVid video codec and the MP3 audio codec, and configure as necessary. Once you’re all configured, FlasK It!.
Without configuring a codec in flask, you’ll get an uncompressed DVD rip. In my initial case, a 1GB MP2 compressed A/V file was 30GB uncompressed on my hard drive, and a laughable matter. After selecting the right options to my taste, a 1GB MP2 turned into a 450MB XVid/MP3 video.
Fruits of the labor
After all that done, I present to you:
So, now i’ve gotta learn some IMAP with dovecot, which seems to be the go-to software for coolness.
Why? Easy!
I’m the proud new owner of heick.email, which currently is not pointed anywhere as far as web services or anything else. What I currently do for email is take *@unliterate.net, drop any messages to a SPAM folder, and let my Thunderbird pull the messages and based on the * part I sort it into folders. This way, I can use email addresses like matthew.is.awesome@unliterate.net, and I would get the email in my Inbox. It’d be considered SPAM, but if I wanted to actually draw my attention to it I’d create a mail filter and sort that into a folder.
One of the cool things about IMAP is the folders. You can, at a whim, create a folder and have client-related mail rules “filter” email to a separate folder. Folders can also be “private” or “shared”, which is a good feature.
So, i’ve set myself a goal so far:
I am going to have to learn how to talk to IMAP via Terminal as well so I can fine-tune my configurations and see what I’m doing.
To start, I’m using Oracle VM VirtualBox with 2 VM’s
usual “test” settings such as everything on the same network, root password is password, and no firewalls and full updates where necessary.
I’ve also created a user called userpoop with password poopuser. No domain definition yet, as this is the preliminaries.
$ adduser userpoop $ passwd userpoop
IMAP 101
I’ve had to learn some basic commands to talk to IMAP, such as:
A login userpoop poopuser B select INBOX C logout
^ Some of the basics on getting in and out of your folder.
Installing on Centos6.8
yum does what I need it to do:
yum install dovecot
this gives me dovecot-2.0.9-22 and portreserve-0.0.4-11.
$ rpm -ql portreserve /etc/portreserve /etc/rc.d/init.d/portreserve /sbin/portrelease /sbin/portreserve /usr/share/doc/portreserve-0.0.4 /usr/share/doc/portreserve-0.0.4/COPYING /usr/share/doc/portreserve-0.0.4/ChangeLog /usr/share/doc/portreserve-0.0.4/NEWS /usr/share/doc/portreserve-0.0.4/README /usr/share/man/man1/portrelease.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/portreserve.1.gz /var/run/portreserve
…curious.
Everything with dovecot that I need is in /etc/dovecot/*. Keeping the default configuration, and knowing that the configuration loads via ASCII order i’ll just give myself a configuration file to work with:
touch /etc/dovecot/conf.d/99-self.conf
# First requirement of this is to ONLY have imap, not pop3
# So, we need to adjust the server that we're listiening on
# This enables imap(143) and imaps(993)
protocols = imap
# Setup where we store mail at
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
# HACKERY TO GET IT WORKING
# related to authentication
disable_plaintext_auth = no
auth_mechanisms = plain
# Using a passwordfile
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users
}
userdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users
}
and I need an /etc/dovecot/users to get basic PLAIN authentication started, so I can get more familiar with this:
/etc/dovecot/users
userpoop:{PLAIN}poopuser:500:500::/home/userpoop
and now…we test via telnet
