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.

Hi, this is what I want to put into inetd eventually to tackle this
problem. The only catch is that you can potentially get connection
floods from spoofed addresses, in which case you ideally would like to
work out the source netblock and deny all of it.

Of course, maybe it should go into the kernel rather than into inetd
so that non-inetd daemons can use it. Perhaps this discussion should
be continued on netdev?
