Confidential Mode and 10s Expiration for the lol

[jstuyck]

I added a confidential mode, I think a user would want to disable the possibility to clone his post. We can also imagine to convert text to image in order to avoid manual copy paste.

The 10 second was just for the fun, I can remove it if needed.

Just allows a user to take away feature use for his paste, if someone even has a thought of using the clone button they'll just copy it, press new, paste.

The best, in that case would be to generate an image from the text, avoiding to copy paste. The only thing to see is how to encrypt the img, to store it.

I looked into this, but it doesn't look like its going to add any additional protection, the current safe way is to use canvas to write the text to an image, but it doesn't really provide an added benefit as they can just save the image.

Sounds like DRM, bleh, -1.

A better idea for this would be to add this (@drewbeer's suggestion) along with a time limit (similar to Snapchat) in JavaScript, which would be set by the creator of the paste content. Only ways to thwart it would be to change the variable to a very high number in the JS console or create a userscript to disable it, and most people wouldn't know the variable on their first visit of the service, so that's fine. You could also add a meta refresh with the time which points to the current URI. Content would be loaded after the server has already deleted the paste info from the service.

Worth looking into?
