Now, given the resource is controlled and we should not expect a large
amount of spam / malware... Alexander, I understand you not wanting to
commit to a "forever" storage, but I would also appreciate if you added a
way to add different expiry periods (including a reasonably-long-length)
Yeah you got me. I implemented the following: every authenticated user, that is
in the Debian
group on salsa, can now again create pastes without expiration date. Use -1 as
expiration date
if you want to use the API (don't forget the token).
Orthogonal to that enhancement, perhaps a better home for long-term
content shared with the world would be a git repo on Salsa, or a project
on Salsa with the "Snippets" feature enabled (that's Gitlab's equivalent
of Github's "Gist")?
(Technically, both Snippets and Gists are a clone'able git repo
containing a single blob (file) at top level, if I understand correctly
- unlike a full Gitlab/Github project, they don't have their own issue
tracker, merge requests or anything like that, just an editable text
file with history.)
