IMO the "Security?" thread became interesting by links to Lavabit and
Schneier.
I'm subscribed to
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
and in the past I often encouraged people to use this list too.
Don't blame me, blame all the people who like this thread.
Note: Now I just Cc'ed to debian-user@lists.debian.org , any replies
should go to d-community-offtopic@lists.alioth.debian.org .
