Built my own "paste bin": https://github.com/vain/bin-pub/blob/master/webdump Most important features: o Easy to use. Just do a "webdump filename" and you're done. o Files expire. No risk of ending up with huge piles of junk. o Everything is stored verbatim. No data mangling due to HTML forms or stuff like that. o When dumping multiple files in one go, they all end up in the same directory. That directory provides an HTML index, but there's no root index listing all dumps (on purpose). o You can dump single files or whole directory trees. o I'm not reimplementing stuff like authorization, transfer, indexing, whatever. (Some of that would be inevitable when building a modern web application.) o The dump area is hosted on my own server. Plus, it's configurable and easy to migrate to other servers. In fact, I do use webdump on multiple servers. Downsides: o It's not anonymous. o webdump does not work on shared webhosting servers. You need SSH access. o There's no HTTP transport, that is, you can't use tools like "curl" to dump stuff. You need the "full blown" webdump script. Initially, I wanted to use unison to sync the files between the server and the local machine. Turns out, that's almost impossible. Unison only works with the same version on client and server. Arch has 2.48, Ubuntu has 2.40. Gah, that sucks. I'd have to custom-compile Unison 2.40 on my Arch machines, I'd have to fiddle with config files a lot, ... Nah. Thus, I switched back to rsync. ____________________ Fun side project, related to webdump: https://github.com/vain/bin-pub/blob/master/randgen-catchy It's a simple script that generates random strings. However, those strings look like "Laos-Fiepp-23", "Gaort-Loop-33", or "Kiemm- Haott-18". That is, they are effable (for Germans, at least) and easy to remember. Longer strings like "Xaost-Hok-Diamm-Joh-801" could even be used as passwords. webdump uses this script to create nice URLs, unlike pastebin.com which simply spits out random alphanumeric strings.
