In addition to Markdown and ReST, what markup formats would you like to be supported for previewing?
Expanded the JS API example to show how you set syntax (since a user asked): https://dpaste.com/898G5RRP7#line-5
Outbound email is currently broken, so you'll get an error if you use the password reset feature. Apologies for the disruption. Will post an update when it's working again.
While I can't in good conscience recommend the "Mass advertising mailing service" that has been attempting to promote themselves via dpaste today, I _can_ say that they have at least 1,693 different IPs at their disposal. I know this because the blocklist is now 1,693 IPs longer than it was before.
@wholesomedonut Thanks! The art is not original to me though -- they are Tumbeasts, originally created for Tumblr error pages by Matthew Inman.
Hopefully you will rarely if ever see this, but dpaste's maintenance mode has received an upgrade.
Doing some urgent database work that will cause the site to be unavailable for a few minutes. Sorry for the lack of advance warning!
Just installed the renewed SSL cert, a few hours late. Sorry if you got caught by that!
Funny sequence of events that occasionally happens when production Django sites get run in debug mode:
1. Unsuspecting user goes to site, gets error page.
2. Only thing that looks clickable on page is "Switch to copy-and-paste view", so they click it.
3. Now there's a button, "Share this traceback on a public website", so they click that.
4. Now they've created an item on dpaste.com and they're like "WHAT IS HAPPENING?!"
Speaking of registered users, here are the top ten syntaxes that registered users choose for "Default syntax":
Python
Lua
JSON
C++
XML
PHP
Java
HTML
Django
XML + PHP
Our domain registrar seems to be having intermittent DNS problems today. Apologies to anyone who has found the site unreachable as a result.
The site is now running on Django 3. No user-facing changes, just staying current. Enjoy!
Reminder: There will be approximately 20 minutes of server downtime starting at 7:00AM UTC, It is currently 1:50AM UTC.

These countries currently have active dpaste users, _and_ have zero entries on the TOS-violators blocklist. Thanks, good guys!
