# Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
|
|
|
## Why such a name?
|
|
|
|
|
In the USSR, some organizations were named according to the principle:
|
|
|
|
|
abbreviated name of city + main activity of the organization.
|
|
|
|
|
For example: LenFilm, MosGas.
|
|
|
|
|
Lenpaste repeats this tradition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What are the system requirements?
|
|
|
|
|
There aren't any. In fact, Lenpaste is so lightweight that you can run it almost anywhere.
|
|
|
|
|
At idle time the container uses about 10 MB of RAM, it uses almost no CPU,
|
|
|
|
|
and the disk load is also minimal (all HTML pages are loaded into memory at startup).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Why isn't the source code posted on GitHub?
|
|
|
|
|
There are several reasons why I don't use GitHub,
|
|
|
|
|
all of which are detailed [here](https://git.lcomrade.su/root/give-up-github).
|
|
|
|
|
Here I will only describe the basic idea.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GitHub has gained too much power over open source developers.
|
|
|
|
|
It's time to take that power away from the capitalists.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Does Lenpaste collect telemetry?
|
|
|
|
|
**No.** No data about users or the server is collected.
|
|
|
|
|
We respect your privacy!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## I want to modify WEB resources (TMPL, CSS, JavaScript, Locale), do I need to open the source code?
|
|
|
|
|
**Yes**. Because the web resources and all Lenpaste source code are
|
|
|
|
|
distributed under the [GNU AGPL v3 license](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Why is there no support for encryption of paste?
|
|
|
|
|
Because if the server is compromised, malicious JavaScript can be downloaded to the user's devices, which will compromise the encryption.
|
|
|
|
|
If you need encryption, then use it manually with GPG or something similar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Why can't the paste be password-protected?
|
|
|
|
|
For the same reason that encryption is not supported in the browser.
|
|
|
|
|
It's not secure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
## Who develops Lenpaste?
|
