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.

I made a user called test. I cp the fork binary to his dir and chown/chgrp
the file to him.  I set the limits for the user 'test'.  I run the binary
as 'test' while I was logged in as root on another terminal.  Once the
fork began, typing ps -aux as root returned a segmentation fault.
Interestingly, 'test' could not run anymore processes (b/c of the limit)
so test got no segmentation fault.  Noone can login or do anthing while
fork is running.  However, 'test' can send 'kill -9 -1' to end the
forkbomb.  Very strange.
