NAME
 
  xc.gd (eXtraCopy-GooD) - a paste bin
 
SYNOPSIS
 
  This is a paste bin. It tries to be minimal but do enough to be useful.
 
DESCRIPTION
 
  It's sometimes useful to be able to share small pieces of text or images.
  Particularly snippets of code, screenshots or other such things. This site
  allows that, while being as simple as possible.
 
  Just type on the website or use curl to create a paste:
 
    curl -d 'some string' xc.gd
 
    echo foo | curl -d @- xc.gd
 
  PUT is also supported:
 
    curl -T file.txt xc.gd
 
  Updating a paste with auth is supported by using a HTTP password.
 
  Set up some credentials first (do this once):
 
    uuid=$(uuidgen)
    echo "machine xc.gd login \"\" password $uuid" >> ~/.netrc
 
  Then use curl with the --netrc (-n) option to send the credentials:
 
    url="$(curl -nd 'some data' xc.gd)"
    echo $url
    curl -nd 'new data' $url
 
  Pastes are accessible at https://xc.gd
 
  If you use curl on the paste URL, you'll get the raw content (or otherwise
  arrange for a "Accept: text/plain" header to be sent). Try it:
 
    curl xc.gd/xc.1
 
  Illegal or questionable content (doxxing, copyright violations, etc.) is not
  welcome, it will be deleted and you will be banned.
 
WRAPPER SCRIPT
 
  Given the simple curl usage a premade script isn't provided, something as
  simple as this will work:
 
    mkdir -p ~/bin
    cat > ~/bin/xc <<'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
[ -e ~/.netrc ] || touch ~/.netrc # curl errors if no .netrc
curl --no-progress-meter -nT "${1:--}" https://xc.gd/"$2"
EOF
    chmod +x ~/bin/xc
 
  This allows:
 
    # Pipe content
    echo foo | xc
 
    # Upload some-file
    xc some-file
 
    # Pipe content with a filename provided
    echo foo | xc - foo.txt
 
    # ANSI support too!
    tdfiglet -r Hello | xc
 
TIPS
 
  Sometimes you want to upload something from the command line and then edit it
  a bit. This site deliberately doesn't use cookies to avoid having a tracking
  ID on each paste, however it does use a temporary UUID associated with each
  tab.
 
  If you've followed the steps above to use a uuidgen based auth token with
  curl, submit something using "curl -n", then open your JavaScript console and
  enter:
 
    window.name = 'xxxx-yyyy-zzzz'
    location.reload()
 
  Then that paste will be editable. (You can turn this into a bookmarklet.)
 
  (If you don't want multiple pastes to be linked together then simply close
  and reopen your browser tab and/or don't use the -n option with curl.)
 
RETENTION
 
  Pastes are deleted after a varying period up to around a year. The larger the
  data the sooner it will be deleted. No guarantees either way; if other people
  paste larger stuff we'll have to force expiry to be sooner.
 
  If you want to delete a paste sooner, leave the tab open and press the X or
  use the curl method above and run:
 
  curl -nX DELETE https://xc.gd/...
 
PRIVACY
 
  We respect your privacy, but unfortunately some people like to abuse sites
  like this. This means we keep logs of paste creation, including the
  following:
 
    - Timestamp
    - Source IP address
    - User-Agent
    - Per tab UUID (see above for details)
