I hadn't even heard of tarsnap prior to this article.
And now in the very throes of an chagrin-inducing security problem, the author has me reading about his technology and stokes my interest in it.
I can't be the only one.
Congratulations to Colin Percival for turning a crisis into an opportunity.
