    For selfhosted I would normally point you to Pastey BUT it lacks the password feature you want so I think this leaves you with PrivateBin but will follow with interest :-). - Source: Reddit / 27 days ago
  • How to send password securely?
    We're using a self-hosted instance of https://privatebin.info/ - with this tool you never store plaintext on your systems and the server doesn't see unencrypted paste contents. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

  • Is zero-knowledge hosting a thing?
    I know about privatebin and cryptpad projects. They both provide (at least it is an option) zero-knowledge file hosting. For example, privatebin server doesn't know the contents of my paste, only my friend with a link can open this file. The link itself is a decryption key. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

  • Implementation of RFC 9116 (security.txt) as well as possibility for encrypted contact

  • Working on a homework assignment related to accessing and saving memory chunks. I feel like I'm close but I cannot get it figured out.
    If you have code that's sensitive, for assignments or whatnot, then you're free to either obfusicate it or use something like privatebin.info so it deletes itself after a specific amount of time. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • Pastebin service with decent privacy policy and open source?
    At the end of the day, you're posting unencrypted raw text online, so you should assume everything posted is on the internet forever. But there are so many pastebin services available and it's a popular tool used by IRC (open protocol that encourages decentralization) so it's hard to imagine there isn't one that is particularly privacy-friendly for raw texts (PrivateBin seems promising but it requires encryption). - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • What happened to PrivacyTools?
    It was just an instance of PrivateBin, so you can switch to a different instance here. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • I have visited all the reddit alternatives from the list, and decided to share my first impressions
