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.

Every critical system have a backup. (At least when system administration 
is made properly) We already had the mailing lists set up at novare.net, 
and the (IMHO) logical next step is to have a full filesystem backup. 
Where's the problem?

Are you upset because Bruce didn't warn about this backup? Well, I've 
never met a user unhappy to have a backup of his work somewhere.
Are you upset because you wanted *your* machine to be the backup? Then 
just say so: having another backup can't hurt.

A few days ago when several hundreds of 'wu-ftpd' daemons prevented to 
ftp into master, or 1 week ago when Incoming full. The last 
important problem dates back from November. Unfortunatly problems happen 
often on system under high load like master.
