Pastebin

What it does

The original paste host, still doing exactly one job: paste, pick syntax highlighting and an expiry, get a link. Guest pastes need no account, and choosing a ten-minute or one-day expiry is the difference between a helpful snippet and a permanent leak. Public pastes are scraped continuously by people looking for credentials, so anything containing a key or a hostname should be unlisted at minimum.
