Hi, thank you so much for this update! Quoting Alexander Wirt (2026-01-08 21:35:08) > Retention: Strictly capped at a maximum of 90 days.

Is there a problem of mis-use even by salsa users? > Upcoming URL Changes (Mid-February 2026) > > Once all legacy pastes have expired (expected mid-February), the URL structure > will be simplified.

This will break various links in old mails I've sent, in forum posts or other places where I wanted to link to snippets which I intended to be distributed for a longer time. Is there a problem with disk space? It would be a bit sad if all these old links would be broken and the content behind them lost forever. This also means that I have to look for other another place than paste.d.n for this kind of purpose and salsa snippets are no replacement due to how slow and sluggish the web interface is. Thanks! cheers, josch
