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.

[...source snipped...]

You don't need anything half so complicated.  Just create a shell
script, forkbomb, like this:

    #! /bin/sh
    while true; do forkbomb & done

That will crash Linux, easily.  (This is just my hacker instinct
speaking up, by the way---don't use two instructions when you could
use one.)
