Oh man, that describes all of them. http://ipfessay.stavros.io/ - Publish uncensorable essays on IPFS https://www.eternum.io/ - Pin IPFS files with a nice interface https://www.pastery.net/ - The best pastebin https://spa.mnesty.com/ - Fuck with spammers https://www.timetaco.com/ - Easily make nice-looking countdowns And this is just the last two months or so? Also, lots of hardware stuff: https://www.stavros.io/proj…

Thank you for pastery. Best pastebin I've ever found, use it more than any other.

Hah! I just noticed "Not a git repo" on the main page. Say no more! I completely grok why that's there.

First: these are awesome, and thank you for sharing. (Esp. Spa.mnesty.com - that's hilarious and incredible at the same time) I tried timetaco.com but it's not doing anything. I tabbed my way through the day (it filled in today's date - 2017, then 8, then 10). I select 5 : 10, which is about 3 minutes in the future, and then clicked 'Generate'. It just changes the date (all three parts) to red, and doesn't do anythin…

Hmm, that's odd... Maybe it's detecting your timezone incorrectly? Can you try setting a date that's tomorrow?

I'm hoarding profile data diffs from a well known social network. Been crawling every single user for the past 2 years and saving the changes. Had to stop doing it last month, after storage costs became too much.

Woah, do you have an end goal with this. Willing to let people get their hands on it?

In pastery's FAQ it says > Everything goes over an encrypted TLS connection, so nobody other than the intended recipient can see what you're pasting. It should say "nobody other than the intended recipient and the developers of this website".

I have changed the wording to be more accurate, thanks!

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Try the editor plugins, they're 90% of the site's value. Pressing a single key to share code is amazing.

Did you grok "because I changed deployment techniques and git can't read the commit hash any more"? :P

I was going to fix it, but I like your reaction, so I might just leave it!
