This is a very nice idea! I'd implement it and allow later access via hashes (like paste.suckless.org/e6a92ec2fe5fba022c31c32c97ea455cee4b2736). This would make sense, as identical pastes would just be stored in the same place (it happens often that people paste the same stuff and it would also be a direct way to be able to check if the paste hasn't lost integrity along the way). Given these pastes don't take up much space, it would actually be rather trivial to do it. Just some webform, taking in data, generating the hashes and a file in some directory with name as the hash and content as the paste. nothing more. :) Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN <d...@frign.de>
