this is a simple paste site. it doesn't do syntax highlighting, or get in yourway. it gives you a textarea and you type in it.
however behind the scenes it is encrypting your data. it uses a recentlyintroduced browser feature (crypto.getrandomvalues) to do this securely.
this does mean you need a modern browser. it seems to work best in chrome,firefox also works well. reading pastes should work in most browsers withjavascript.
however if you didn't guess from the name there is also a shell script"paste.sh"; see https://paste.sh/client or run the following commands toinstall it:
cd ~/bin curl o https://raw.github.com/dgl/paste.sh/master/paste.sh chmod +x paste.sh
javascript running in your browser encrypts your data using aes256 (via thecryptojs library). the key is generated on the client side and the server isnever able to decrypt the data, this works because the url fragment (the part ofthe url after the '#' symbol) is never sent to the server.
beware that depending on how you share the url with others the fragment part maybe stored by other systems.
you can edit the paste for some time after pasting; this uses a session cookiein your browser. (yes, if you deny cookies this site won't work, sorry).
