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.

Re: Compression through e2compr

While this may be true, I have seen researchers claiming that in many
cases, with CPUs as fast as they are, you may be able to actually
increase your machine's speed by using compressed files (or compressed
VM pages) because the compression effectively increases your bandwidth
to disk.

Say you have a really fast CPU, and normally just 4MB/s to disk.  If
you can get a 2:1 compression ratio without too much CPU overhead, you
may be able to nearly double your disk bandwidth to 8MB/s.

Just a thought...
