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.

There is a patched version of Mosaic 2.7b2 which supports SSL. I
havent tried it and its an old version. But if more people are
interested, one could have a try. It has some work to do. You have to
find out what is patched and then adapt it to the newest version
2.7b5. Then you have to change from SSLeay 0.5.1 to 0.8.1.
