I'm still reading and just looking at the screenshots and I have to say I very much prefer the Tarsnap design not the cheap template one which doesn't really look very trustworthy to me and is probably more suited for an online pharmacy.

I feel the same way. It reminds me a lot of https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ where they pretty much say that they are server guys and suck at design. I respect that.

And the redesign in the article looks like someone grabbed a free theme and swopped some text and a image.

Nearlyfreespeech's homepage is infinitely more attractive and professional looking than tarsnap's.

And, no, the redesign in the article looks exactly like someone grabbed a $20 theme and didn't bother to swap in the image.
