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.

Problems with Lynx browser

Lynx browser (all versions)

There is a problem in that it generates predictable and unsafe temporary
file names allowing local users to harm other users who are using Lynx (its
similar to the ELM bug).

For lynx 2.5 and above (2.7.1 is current - see lynx.browser.org) the best
fix is to set the temporary space to use $HOME/.lynx. That requires two
small changes

1.	Setting the temporary directory to $HOME/.lynx in the startup
	code

2.	Doing a mkdir() of this directory at startup to create it the first
	time.
