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.

Strange message... spoof?

I just got this rather strange message. I would not repeat it here, but it
had my sig at the bottom even though I did not send it. The question is,
who did send it? The addressee or someone else? Has anyone else gotten
this message? Who's sig was at the bottom?

We discovered recently that news postings from our Debian machines
were saying "Organization: A poorly-maintained Debian GNU/Linux
system".  Apparently that text was in a file /etc/news/organization,
but not by our choice--it came with the installation.

Hmm.. it should've asked you to enter the organization string as part
of the configuration process.  I think that's when I entered it here
at work; or at least that's how inn does it, if I remember correctly.

If you're sure that it never asked you during configuration, you'll
want to tell debian-bugs@pixar.com.
