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 think that's a great idea.

Mail to root wouldn't do me much good though because I always alias `root' to an account on a central machine, which is often not on the same site, and so might not be easily available.

Instead, how about putting the info in:

  /var/log/sysinfo

or somesuch, overwriting it on each boot so it doesn't grow.

Cheers, Phil.
