## What it is
Rustypaste is a minimal, self-hosted file upload and pastebin service written in Rust. It supports uploading files via curl or an HTML form, with features like expiring links, one-shot files, password protection, and URL shortening.

## Use cases
- self-host a pastebin service
- share files via short links
- upload files from the command line with curl
- host expiring one-time-download files
- share password-protected files
- shorten URLs on my own server

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, fast, self-hosted paste/file-sharing service
- you prefer CLI-friendly uploads via curl
- you need expiring, one-shot, or password-protected uploads
- you want a minimal Rust server with low resource usage

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured pastebin with syntax highlighting and user accounts
- you want a web UI for browsing and managing uploads
- you need large-scale object storage with CDN integration
