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.

possibility of Debian site at Netcom UK

Hi,

Here is a reply to a message I sent to a friend of mine, Nick Lambert, which 
opens the possibility of having some sort of server on Netcom's site in the UK.

What would be most useful ?

Since the UK is well served by Imperial College's sunsite (which has a debian 
mirror) is seems like a waste to use this as just another mirror.

Would it be possible to set this up as a master clone (master.uk.debian.org) ?

Do we know what network load was caused by master ?

Cheers, Phil.

Hi Phil

Yes I think we could sort something out but given that we already have
a diversly routed 4Mb of links directly to Sunsite is it really necessary?
Netcom customers can get to Sunsite damb quickly already.

Depends how much we are talking about. Exchanging it for good PR is 
better prospect.

Yes I would need some idea of the amount of bandwidth/number of hits
that we are talking about.

This would be very important to us, the more good PR the better (and it will
help me justify it to my peers)

I think so, but you would have to take responsibility for administration of
the box.  ie I don't want to add to the work load of the sys admins here.
