Dirvish - another disk image backup based on rsync and hardlinks.

Is the Federal Eavesdropping Center coming? - and those who previously believed that Stasi 2.0 was only a satirical exaggeration will now slowly realize that it is deadly serious.

Court of Auditors wastes millions - by goats and gardeners?

reinteract - interesting interactive shell for Python with a nice idea for editing history. And a mode to integrate certain objects directly into the output - could be interesting as a math sheet. Or simply as a nice interface for playing with Python libraries.

rsnapshot - creates snapshots with rsync and hardlinks. On the other hand, I have been using rdiff-backup quite successfully for a while now. And good old tar works quite well too (I just don't have much to back up under Linux).

Security consultant charged with operating a botnet - ouch.

The Terrifying Toothpick Fish - ugh. There are things you really don't want to know. Ewww.

Upside-Down-Ternet - cool. Split WLAN and send unauthorized users through a proxy that turns every image upside down. Awesome.
