Seamless PrivateBin YOURLS Integration Script about privatebin HOT 9 CLOSED

Dear El RIDO, Thank you for your follow-up. I appreciate the opportunity to discuss the integration of my shorten_url.php script into PrivateBin. I've conducted a thorough comparison between my implementation and the existing shortenviayourls.php, and here are my insights: While shortenviayourls.php offers robust features like deep configuration integration, enhanced security through URL validation, and detailed error reporting, my shorten_url.php script brings its unique strengths to the table: 1. Simple Setup: It's designed for ease of integration, with clear instructions tailored for PrivateBin users. This simplicity could be particularly beneficial for those who prefer a straightforward approach. 2. Direct API Integration: The script integrates directly with the YOURLS API using predefined variables, making it less complex and more accessible for users who might not be deeply technical. 3. User IP Inclusion: A unique feature of shorten_url.php is the inclusion of the user's IP address in the request to YOURLS, including when proxied through CloudFlare or other reverse proxies such as Nginx, offering accurate insights and potential analytics capabilities. 4. Basic Input Validation: It ensures the correctness of the provided URL, contributing to the overall reliability of the URL shortening feature. From a user experience standpoint, shorten_url.php emphasises ease of use and quick integration, which could be particularly appealing to a segment of our user base. Its customisability and straightforward nature make it a valuable addition to PrivateBin, especially for those seeking a less complex yet effective solution. In conclusion, while shortenviayourls.php excels in deeper integration and security, shorten_url.php stands out for its simplicity and enhanced user experience. The choice between them would ideally be based on the specific needs and preferences of the PrivateBin instance administrators. I look forward to your thoughts on this and am open to further discussions or modifications to better align with PrivateBin's vision and user requirements.

Dear El RIDO, Thank you for your detailed feedback and insights regarding the YourlsProxy class and the overall approach to URL shortening within PrivateBin. I appreciate the time and thought you've put into reviewing the potential integration of my shorten_url.php script. After considering your points, I've decided to maintain my implementation as a separate fork. This approach allows me to tailor the solution to specific use cases, as evidenced by its successful real-world application on https://cya.nz since 2012. To date, it has tracked 8,246 links with 2,204,990 clicks, and the numbers are still growing! I respect the direction and standards you've set for PrivateBin and understand the importance of maintaining a streamlined and efficient codebase. Please feel free to reach out if there are any future opportunities for collaboration or if you find any aspect of my implementation that could be beneficial for PrivateBin. Thank you once again for the opportunity to discuss this integration. Cheers, Andy Saputra<https://saputra.org> This e-mail was prepared using voice recognition software.

I personally would not want to have 2 (or 3, if you count the generic urlshortener implementation) to maintain in the project, especially since I do myself not use this, admittedly popular, feature. I would therefore prefer to a merge request that adds features or rewrites the logic of to the YourlsProxy class<https://github.com/PrivateBin/PrivateBin/blob/master/lib/YourlsProxy.php>. We deliberately avoid using the curl library, since the request is a very simple one and none of the crafty, advanced curl features should be required in this case - this lets us avoid requiring this extra dependency, keeping the container image sizes small: https://github.com/PrivateBin/PrivateBin/blob/9614ee90f24e5bb24aea7bae6c36293c0c922bfc/lib/YourlsProxy.php#L62-L79 For the JSON parsing we use a small OOP wrapper, that throws when detecting an error, so we don't forget to check for them: https://github.com/PrivateBin/PrivateBin/blob/9614ee90f24e5bb24aea7bae6c36293c0c922bfc/lib/YourlsProxy.php#L80-L86 — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub<#1193 (comment)>, or unsubscribe<https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/ACJZ3GKAUUXUMILVQG4DYU3YFZKUFAVCNFSM6AAAAAA63REHOGVHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43OSLTON2WKQ3PNVWWK3TUHMYTQMRTGQZTGMRSGI>.

Hi there rugk, I appreciate your concern, but I'd like to clarify that I am not using ChatGPT for these replies. In my email signature, as you might have noticed, I've stated that I use voice recognition software to assist me in writing more quickly and efficiently. To answer your curiosity, I use Dragon Naturally Speaking. This is purely for efficiency and is in no way an endorsement or promotion of the software 😊 I understand where your suspicion might come from. A friend once demonstrated how a ChatBot app can analyse conversations and mistakenly label them as AI-generated. This is a common error but not applicable in our interaction. Interestingly, it seems like you might be using a ChatBot app to analyse our conversation. I've seen these apps misinterpret conversations as AI-generated, which is probably what happened here. While it's an intriguing use of technology, I'd suggest investing your time in more productive activities rather than scrutinising online discussions, which could potentially start an unnecessary flame. While I appreciate your diligence in ensuring transparency in our communication, I must point out that your assumption about my use of ChatGPT was incorrect. This kind of accusation, although I understand it might stem from a place of concern, can lead to unnecessary misunderstandings. Let's focus on constructive and respectful dialogue moving forward.
