# About Hastebin - haste.nixc.us
|
|
|
|
Welcome to our Hastebin instance at [haste.nixc.us](http://haste.nixc.us). This site offers a simple, easy-to-use Pastebin where you can store text for a certain period. This service helps share snippets of code or text with others.
|
|
|
|
## Data Expiry and Handling
|
|
|
|
By default, pastes stored on haste.nixc.us have an expiry time of 90 days from the last access. After this period, the data is deleted from our database. Please note that this deletion process is not forensics-proof. Still, it effectively removes the data for most intents and purposes.
|
|
|
|
It's important to understand that this service is purely plain text-based. Data is only encrypted during transit (using HTTPS), and we do not guarantee privacy, stability, or consistent uptime. While we aim to avoid data resets, they may occur under certain circumstances.
|
|
|
|
## Repository
|
|
|
|
The source code for this Hastebin instance is available at our Git repository: [Nixius/hastebin](https://git.nixc.us/Nixius/hastebin.git). Feel free to explore, contribute, or use it to set up your own instance.

## Tools for Uploading
|
|
|
|
### haste CLI Tool
|
|
|
|
We are ostensibly updating the original `haste` CLI tools, providing a convenient way to upload content directly from your terminal. Stay tuned for updates on this tool.
|
|
|
|
### Using `curl`
|
|
|
|
In the meantime, you can still use `curl` to upload content to Hastebin. Here's a quick guide on how to do it:
|
|
|
|
- To upload a file:
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST -s --data-binary @filename.txt https://haste.nixc.us/documents
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- To upload text directly:
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST -s --data-binary "Your text here" https://haste.nixc.us/documents
|
|
```
|
|
After uploading, you will receive a URL with your uploaded content, which you can share with others.
|
|
|
|
### Examples of Using `curl` with Pipes and Redirection
|
|
|
|
1. **Sending File Content with `cat`**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat filename.txt | curl -X POST -s --data-binary @- https://haste.nixc.us/documents
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Sending Command Output**:
|
|
For example, sending the output of `ls -l`:
|
|
```bash
|
|
ls -l | curl -X POST -s --data-binary @- https://haste.nixc.us/documents
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Directly Writing and Sending Text**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo "Your text here" | curl -X POST -s --data-binary @- https://haste.nixc.us/documents
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In these examples, the `@-` tells `curl` to read from stdin.
|
|
|
|
### Adding Aliases to `.bashrc` and `.zshrc`
|
|
|
|
To simplify this process, you can add an alias to your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` file. Here's an example alias:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
alias haste='curl -X POST -s --data-binary @- https://haste.nixc.us/documents'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After adding this alias, you can use `haste` in your terminal like this:
|
|
|
|
- **For files**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat filename.txt | haste
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **For command outputs**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
ls -l | haste
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **For direct text**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo "Your text here" | haste
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To make these changes effective, you must reload your shell configuration with the command `source ~/.bashrc` or `source ~/.zshrc`, depending on which shell you use. |
