The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Thanx, Bruce.  We do not mind.  The load on our connection was about 10% of
one T1.  Measurable but not bad.  We want Debian to be successful.
Aside from doing something good, I get a kick in the pants from doing
something  my managers at Intel would have (at least) fired me if they could
(I quit first :-).  We could try few more mirrors hanging off master.  I will
yell if necessary (never was shy about my pains :-).

I would like to be able to run a second web server, if possible.  Our link
to www.debian.org is, well, not always so good.

Who is mirror.debian.org?

What/where is fsp?
