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.

Sorry for the delayed response.

I am building it as we speak.  It is hard for me to imagine how I can allow 
uid 0 writes across the net.  
I put a composite image of boot + root + base1_1 and exported that chunk.
If you send me a script to perform the changes or an image or whatever.
In the meantime, there is an export of nomis:/home/Debian/Boot_NFS.
Anyone can mount it RO.
