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.

Re: the first xearth data file

> I don't know what DGPS.

GPS is the Navstar global positioning system. The data from this system
comes in a consumer and a military grade, where the consumer-grade data
is deliberately dithered within a 100 meter radius to make it less useful
for military purposes. You need an encryption key to read the military
grade data. The consumer GPS receivers sell for as little as US$130.
An interesting thing about them is that they provide a super-accurate
time signal, and "xntpd" will work with them.

A while back someone found a way to defeat the dithering called "differential
GPS" or DGPS. Two GPS receivers in the same region recieve the same dithering,
so it's possible to put one in a well-surveyed location and have it transmit
the difference between the GPS data and its actual location to the second
station. Differential GPS correction data is available for free on stations
around 300 KHz here in the U.S. They are provided by the Coast Guard and
are mostly on the sea coast or near other navigable waterways.

With differential GPS, consumer equipment attains one meter accuracy.
Thus, providing your DGPS coordinate is as good as telling someone your
address.
