## What it is
0bin is a self-hostable pastebin that encrypts paste content client-side in the browser with AES256, so the server never sees plaintext or the decryption key. It is a Python implementation of the zerobin project that can run without a database.

## Use cases
- host a zero-knowledge pastebin
- share code snippets without the server reading them
- self-host a pastebin with no database
- share sensitive text with burn-after-reading links
- paste content that the host cannot legally moderate

## When to choose
- you want to self-host a pastebin where the server cannot decrypt content
- you need burn-after-reading or expiring pastes
- you want a database-free Python pastebin you fully control

## When to avoid
- you want a maintained project - the maintainers declared 0bin dead and dropped the official domain
- you plan to use 0bin.net - scammers now control that domain
- you need a hosted service rather than self-hosting your own instance

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: cryptography, http-server, security, privacy
- domain: self-hosted, privacy, security, web-development
