The admins just launched a bunch of new services, including Blocks. Iβm not sure if it checks all of your boxes. But itβs an obvious choice to look into

Thanks @[email protected] ,
This is looking great, sadly Opengist on which Blocks is based. is written in Go :/ and I can't support that[^1]

Well thatβs an interesting take! What aspects are you opposed to?
IANAL but I did read through the patents agreement that you linked. It basically says do whatever you want with Go as long as it different infringe on Google patents. Which is pretty much backed by US law anyways and I assume other countries as well. The sketchy part is that your license is revoked as soon as they file a lawsuit rather than win it. Honestly, Iβd be surprised if Google ever used this in a legal dispute because there would be a huge community backlash.
That also only applies to Go developers. You would only be a user for a tool written on Go. How does your using a tool written in Go translate to support for Google and its bad practices? Do you not use any software written in Go?
Sorry if this is sounding argumentative! Iβm generally a big fan of Go and definitely opposed to Google and using its products. This is a topic that I havenβt considered before so my questions represent my sincere curiosity.
A lot of the classic "pastebin"-type solutions get overrun by phishers and other scammers if they don't require registration.
A pastebin with either automatic syntax highlighting or markdown code fences ought to work.
This one has most of what you asked, though I don't see a diff feature:

Really cool ! (bookmarked*)
Just the essential !
to bad there isn't either a difference between versions or a history of the changes
Gitea. Self-hosted.
Standard forgejo shoutout. It is a fork of gitea with more features following the foss philosophy. It is codeberg's backend https://forgejo.org/2024-02-monthly-update/
TLDR; if, as OP mentioned as a desirable criterion:
Something that respect as much the gnu philosophy (so nothing like Github etc..)
Gitea might not specifically be the best self hosted GitHub clone to use.
I use it. I self host it. But if you're prioritizing FOSS philosophies, there are other GitHub clones that would fit the bill.
Whatever.
