peter_tonoli··on Tape still beats SSDs and hard drives when it comes to price per byte
Not sure where you've got the 'few dozen' number from - that's not to my experience. Tandberg quote "1,000,000 passes on any area of tape, equates to over 20,000 end to end passes/260 full tape backup" http://www.tandbergdata.com/default/assets/File/Data_Sheets/...

peter_tonoli··on QEMU VM Escape
Slirp was the equivalent of a userland, and user accessible version of SLIP. It allowed end users, to have IP equivalent connectivity if they had a shell account.

This was in the days when people had dial-in accounts to a shell, and wanted to use Mosaic web browser on their machines.

Sure it's not 'the memory diagnostic app' that's wrong?

peter_tonoli··on STARTTLS Everywhere
And how many just use self-signed certificates?
peter_tonoli··on STARTTLS Everywhere
Under 'about', the rationale for STARTTLS is listed, which includes, but isn't exclusive to the HSTS like list:

  - Increase STARTTLS adoption
  - Increase the number of mailservers that actually validate certificates
  - Maintain a STARTTLS Policy List to help prevent downgrade attacks on email services.

Tried the default how-to from GitHub? It's pretty good - https://pages.github.com/

peter_tonoli··on All of New York City's 592,130 Trees, Mapped
Similar to this is the survey of all trees in The City of Melbourne http://melbourneurbanforestvisual.com.au/#mapexplore , that also gives viewers the opportunity to email each tree.
peter_tonoli··on Google right from your command line
This reminds me of Surfraw http://surfraw.alioth.debian.org/ by Julian Assange. Surfraw searches Google, Altavista, Babelfish, Dejanews, Freshmeat, Research Index, Slashdot and many others on the command line.

peter_tonoli··on Samsung Lock Screen Security Flaw
This, tangentally at least, reminds me of a post by JWZ http://www.jwz.org/blog/2014/04/the-awful-thing-about-gettin... about poor design decisions in gnome screensaver causing vulnerabilities, again and again.
peter_tonoli··on LastPass – users can host their data in Europe
Presumably this is marketed to get around data sovereignty / Patriot Act issues. Sadly, the fact that LastPass is a US company, trumps these protection measures.
peter_tonoli··on New Job Fear – You are not Alone
This sounds similar to imposter syndrome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome
peter_tonoli··on $200,000 to the first person to break Telegram
