The pastebin that hopefully doesn't suck
Description
===========
pastor was born out of frustration with other pastebins and their shortcomings
- require an external database, hassel to set up.
- have very unreliable mime type parsing leading to
files being returned with the wrong mime type
- won't show files in the browser but only prompt to download
pastor tries to do better
- ensure content-disposition headers are set to inline to display in browser
- only interfere with mimetypes where needed
- sets all text/* mime types to text/plain to avoid inline
rendering of e.g. html and thus injection of external resources.
- file extensions are for squishy humans
- try to guess an extension based on the mime type
but only if absolutely sure it's the correct one
- file extensions can be set to whatever the user desires,
they are ignored when accessing the paste.
- easy to set up, single binary, no external dependencies
- release binaries are staticly deployed, container image provided.
- uses an embedded database, sled, to store paste metadata.
- various templates like this page are compiled in by default
but can be customized by providing external files.
