This is xygt.cc, an anonymous, no-bullshit, temporary file hosting and URL shortening solution.
xygt.cc was created to help with the problem of massive walls of pasted text being spammed into support chats in Discord, IRC, Slack, etc...
It also helps with needing to have a file temporarily hosted somewhere for people to quickly access within a set amount of time.
xygt.cc is a free service, and will always be free, with optional donations available with small perks that don't greatly disadvantage paid users.
By anonymous and no-bullshit, no data is collected that doesn't need to be collected, and data we do collect can not directly identify you.
For files, xygt.cc takes the file from the POST request, and writes it directly to a directory located on the server.
Alongside this, an entry is made into the self-hosted MongoDB database, storing the filename, file ID, retention, upload date, and expiry date.
Optionally a user can also add their userID and IDPass, which will allow them to manage their file from the website and access features after donating.
For URL's, xygt.cc takes the URL from the POST request, and first validates it to ensure that the domain is valid and the host is up.
It then writes an entry to the self-hosted MongoDB database, storing the URL, ID, retention, upload date, and expiry date.
A user can optionally add their userID and IDPass, allowing them to manage their URL from the website.
xygt.cc can be used in a variety of ways, either through the website, or through a POST request.
For example, to upload a file, you can use the following command:
curl -F "file=@/path/to/file" https://xygt.cc
or for URL's
curl -F "url=https://example.com" https://xygt.cc
