Certbot is great when using Nginx (or Apache2), but if you can use a different engine. Its worthwhile checking out Caddy!

fair enough! Materialious very much meant for people who use Invidious and are comfortable with JS.

Just your average nothing conversion.

"System messed up once, trans people shouldn't exist"

This interface uses the Invidious API. So if YouTube breaks Invidious & Materialious, once Invidious is fixed, Materialious is also fixed.

Materialious uses ReturnYouTubeDislikes for dislikes and likes, this option can be disabled in settings.

Yea the slider was the default component vidstack uses, I do agree it would be a good idea to use a drop down instead.

Worthwhile plugging Obtainium what is helpful for pulling prebuilt apks off Git

Enable dash in settings

Yea agree, not a fan of "Meta". But I think limiting who can use federated networks kinda goes against the federated nature of such networks. What's next, we'll have a centralized blacklist of lemmy instances.

fellow zoomer here, i agree

Yea fundamentally the same idea. Paaster does use more modern encryption algorithms and libraries. Privatebin also stores more metadata about pastes readable by the host.

Check out onlyoffice. Open source MS 365 alternative and yet to find any issues with it.

Thanks for mentioning this! Always wanted a foss material ui weather app

Such a shame it got canceled

Materialious is a web app. Check out Clipious for a native Android Invidious client with support for Android TV.

For extremely basic video editing Simple Gallery is a good option.

Also I'd avoid f-droid due to security concerns.

Surprising good comparison from ChatGPT. Some key points is Paaster does support syntax highlighting & Markdown.

PrivateBin's conversation system isn't encrypted.

We'll obviously people are finding / needing a use for a service like this. Paaster has 340+ stars & a similar project Privatebin has 5.1k stars.

Sometimes you want to share data briefly with others or to only a specific groups of people (private forums, game lobbies etc) so being able to do so quickly and securely can be extremely useful.

Also this is a privacy page, why should your Pastebin data be stored in raw text and easily indexable by the host? Obviously pastebin data has the potential to be sensitive (look at the amount of people leaking things on pastebin.com)

Also data leaks do occur! Why should all your pastes be publicly viewable when you only intended to share it with people XYZ platform etc.

The fact your unable to imagine use cases and benefits of such services / projects honestly amazes me.

And the paaster github even says you have to run your own instance for security and privacy.

It says a "instance you host or trust" this is true of any web app (including Proton etc.)

Even if you self host data leaks can occur.

The fact you don't see the need for a encrypted pastebin only speaks to your limited imagination.

Matter of facts are, people share data not wanting it to be indexable or open to data leaks by the server, data in pastebins can be sensitive & people are using E2EE pastebins.

Here is a use case what matches all your arbitrary requirements. "User wants to share sensitive data over a insecure channel (like discord), they can send a Paaster link what deletes after view, so if Discord ever tries to view it in the future they cant see the data."

E2EE now labeled security theater 🤣

Maybe your specific use case doesn't benefit off E2EE, but can't believe I have to explain this. You aren't the center of the universe and use cases of E2EE pastebins aren't limited to your specific use case.

Even pastebin.com sees the benefit of "private" pastes, but according to your logic this shouldn't even exist too!

Anyways this conversation has lost any sense of productivity & obviously your care or understanding of privacy is minimal.

As a final question (what I don't want a response to) is, should every paste ever always be accessible by everyone?.... Hopefully your answer is no & you can put 2 & 2 together.

Have a good day & use any data collecting, raw text, insecure platform you want!

Actually I did a Pros/Cons for Paaster compared to PrivateBin awhile ago here

https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/issues/2015

Basically the TL;DR Modern encryption, doesn't expose metadata, modern design (svelte + asyncio python), pwa support, frontend / backend code separation & paste history.

Dracula 🦹‍♀️

S2 was still fun!

Great cast too! Surprisingly a lot of NZ & Maori representation

Very upbeat 🤣

yea thats what makes it hurt more 🥲

Yes anyone can host Materialious on their own server! Does require you to host Invidious too.

Yes! DeArrow support is planned

Paaster doesn't assume the users intent for the service. People can share a wide range of data in pastebins and users don't always want this to be public.

Thank you & yes my taste is on point.

Big fan of Quaver, its a community-driven, and open-source competitive rhythm game.

Yea but obviously he has a office 365 plan, so a alternative to the office suite for word processing etc is relevant.

be awake

Aaah true, yea I was more meaning syntax highlighting for Markdown & not Markdown rendering. Thank you for the correction!
