I am clearly too paranoid. I was looking at my screen thinking what sort of information leakage there would be uploading a screenshot and then 'trimming' it to remove the stuff that I didn't want out there. And then thinking the upload sends the whole image, then the tools crop it and you get a 'final' version. But the original? Still there somewhere. Not that this is an original thought mind you, XKCD famously parodied the problem of creating a web site requiring email and an password and noting that lots of people use the same password everywhere so you could harvest passwords that way.

#33GMail on Chrome had/s this feature!
Ha, never realised it was a Chrome only feature... mainly since I only use Chrome these days. But was about to say the same thing!

On a Mac, you can get a cropped screenshot on your clipboard using Command+Shift+Control+4. Then just drag the crosshairs to choose an area to capture, or press Space and then click a window to capture.
You can save a screenshot to the Desktop, and optionally edit it before uploading, by not holding down Control, with both the 3 and 4 shortcuts.

#35Very cool, seems pretty useful. Worked great for me but I only spent a few minutes on it.
Same here! How does this work under the hood?

#36Snaggy needs to use a Java applet to read your clipboard. Haha, nope.

#37Here's screenshot sharing for the paranoid (macosx):
https://github.com/RoboTeddy/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/screen...
It uploads to your own s3 bucket (https for both uploads and downloads). I set up a global hotkey (cmd-4) using Alfred.

#38Earlier quoted context omitted.
Very true. That's how I knew the meme. I saw it on reddit which I also frequent. However, that doesn't mean we should introduce them here. They don't add to Hacker News discussion.
yeah, agreed -- my comment was more just a random thought -- I appreciate that the two community styles stay mostly separate
And I totally agree with you, I just actually couldn't resist. I was ready to face some downvote (and I have been served…). Apologies.
However there already are some links on HN which leads to reddit style discussion, like the recent link to the "Great HN parody". I think it may be okay from time to time as long as it doesn't flood the discussion.

You can press "delete original" when you edit it. The original gets removed from S3 servers once the Delete request propagates through Cloudfront.
