Hello Ben Can you create a redirect to the currently supported/recommended paste/snippet site from paste.kde.org?

Using arcanist we can easily paste from a terminal via `arc paste` (assuming you've set up arc to talk to our phab that is). For gitlab there's a range of snipping cli tools you can find as well. HS

I would prefer not to, mainly because then it's still something we need to carry around for eternity. Pastebins are generally regarded as transient / temporary, so depending on the settings specified by the users the pastes in question are likely already gone.

Maybe we could do a static mirror and keep it up read-only?

Shutdown of paste.kde.org
Hi all, For some time now Sysadmin has been aware that the application we use to run paste.kde.org is unmaintained, and therefore represents a security risk. Additionally, for a long time now we've been forced to require people to login in order to create pastes there, due to the severity of the abuse we've experienced. Because this makes it functionally equivalent to the pastebin functionality included in both Phabricator (phabricator.kde.org/paste/) and Gitlab (invent.kde.org/snippets) we've decided that it would be best if paste.kde.org were to be discontinued. We'll be shutting this service down in approximately one weeks time. Should anyone be using it to store content for long term purposes we'd advise you to migrate it to either Phabricator, Gitlab or somewhere more permanent (like a wiki) before the shutdown. Following the shutdown we will be erasing the database, so any pastes not saved elsewhere before this time will be lost. Should anyone have any questions regarding this, please let us know. Regards, Ben Cooksley KDE Sysadmin
