Thanks for the heads up! I update the title to show the appropriate tag. I'm familiar with the term pastebin, but this is not limited to just text and I do feel like pastebin.com has taken ownership of the term so I wanted to avoid confusion.

This is the kind of neat, small, useful tool I carouse HN for. I'm going to add this to my giant list of, "neat ass little tools that I found on Hacker News."
Now if only somebody could make a tool that can audit my giant ass list of neat little tools so that when a use case comes around I remember, "ah yes this!"

Can probably set up some kind of AI workflow that exports your bookmarks -> attaches them to an LLM chat -> asks the LLM if anything across your bookmarks can be useful for the problem you're tackling/googling/etc.

Carouse != peruse? Though maybe on Fridays everything has a party atmosphere...

Thanks but I'll continue to use similar services that don't embed google tracking.

Can I curl this file to a linux machine easily?
I was just the other day looking for a tool to easily move a non-sensitive file from my macbook, to my network-locked production machine. Rather than doing many hops through SSH tunnels, the easiest thing to do would be to host the file online, and wget it down to my linux machine.
The options out there were lacking. I used https://bashupload.com/ for a bit, but the problem is that after you download the file once, it gets deleted. Sometimes I want to share the file to multiple machines.
I’m currently using Gokapi for transfer, but planning to switch to this one.

It wasn't a usecase I thought of, so it's not really accommodated for it, but I like it! I'll try make a nice little "for devs" page with simple endpoints :)
I've been giving this some thought... While I definitely agree with you, adding the extra route seems more "future-proof". And it's not like the urls are rememberable anyway... But it might be worth just making the whole link much much shorter over all. I'll think about this!

Boring. When will people learn that these websites will inevitably host insanely illegal content and spam? There's one such "small site" a week on HN.
The website even lacks a "report content" button, so clearly abuse was not in the author's mind.

I considered it, but I (naively) thought that the 24 hour maximum retention policy would take care of most abuse. As others in the comments have pointed out, it won't! So I will be taking more steps towards abuse prevention :)

Looks fantastic! As someone who has done it before, if this gets popular you'll run into some abusive users that you'll want to deal with. Microsoft will often give out free access to it's PhotoDNA service for detection of explicit images of minors. VirusTotal will often do the same for malware in exchange for samples. You'll also want to have a structured retention process, e.g. size is inversely proportional to storage time.
Good luck, get in contact (see my profile) if you run into any issues.

wow thank you so much for the tips! I had mostly just worried about piracy and thought that the maximum 24 hour retention policy would be "good enough". Naively, I had not thought of things I'd want to nip right in the bud (Like CP). So I will definitely be looking into the solutions you've mentioned. Thanks again!

Hackers like to use these types of services (eg pastebin) as remote C&C servers too where infected computers both retrieve commands from them and also exfiltrate data to them

Thanks for flagging this! I will definitely be doing a deep dive into all this this weekend

I love these websites. I think as bapak (and codefined) suggested, they tend not to last though, which is unfortunate. I also imagine it's fun to build. Good old fashioned simple utility.
Thanks for sharing.

And another one! How long will it last? All bets on the table.

"dump" seems redundant.
The website even lacks a "report content" button, so clearly abuse was not in the author's mind.
