I'm partial to:

but I'll have to check out the others posted above. It's always good to have multiple references available.

Did this one a few years back. Probably could have done a little better job.

@teckk - The links you provided have been moderated for the following reason:

These and other links you have recently posted all link to a single site, perhaps your own (I do not know), rather than to their original sources which should be available on the internet. Linking repeatedly to your own blog or some other site you wish to promote is unacceptable as it is a violation of the prohibition on advertising in LQ Rules:

Additionally, some of your links have been reported as linking to copyrighted material which would also be a violation LQ Rules:

I am not in law enforcement, am not a lawyer, have not attempted to research the material you have linked and am therefore not qualified to take enforcement action against anyone for assumed violation of some copyright law or other. So this is not the basis of removal of these links. However, please be aware that copyrighted material should not be distributed without permission and make the effort to self-police the material you post or link here at LQ.

Ok, I will do that.

I don't have anything to do with https://0x0.st/
It was a site that I found that allows uploading of images and files under a certain size. You don't have to register to use it, You don't have to have scripts or images turned on in the web browser to use it. Another words no advertising. Another one is http://sprunge.us/

Beats the heck out of pastebin.com, or other script heavy, have to register sites.

https://0x0.st/
Looks like that is 136.243.89.164, and is in Germany

http://sprunge.us/
216.239.36.21, reports being google.

Thanks teckk!

To be clear, posting links to supporting documentation for questions and discussions is welcome (although link farming, posting lists of links not relevant to a question or discussion is generally not so much).

But when you post links please keep in mind that they become permanent content on LQ and so should point to sources which are more likely to persist over time, which usually means the original author's or source's URL, or a well known documentation source such as TLDP. For example, if linking a manual for a GNU application please try to locate it on the GNU website where it is most likely to be updated and remain available. Linking to blogs, free online storage sites, etc. frequently results in broken links after a short period of time and degrades the usefulness of LQ content.

Also, posting multiple links to documents at a single, often not well known base URL is indistinguishable from ad SPAM which is always discouraged.

Thanks for the reply and understanding, and thanks for your participation here at LQ!
