### Pastebin clients

See also Wikipedia:Pastebin.

Pastebin services are often used to paste information into IRC channels to help with troubleshooting. There are services for both text (e.g. bpaste.net, pastie.org, codepad.org) and images (e.g. imgur.com, picpaste.com). Pastebin clients allow you to post directy from the cli without using a web browser.

Tip: The sprunge and ix pastebins can be accessed directly via curl, which should return a link to the paste:

    <command> | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us

    <command> 2>&1 | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

There is also a sprunge plugin for oh-my-zsh (a configuration tool for the Zsh command shell).
Warning: Do not use pastebin.com. It appears to be the most popular site but it is slow, full of adverts, formats the text badly (it will mess up your code) and many people can not even open the site due to aggressive spam filters.

### Emulators

An emulator is a program which serves to replicate the functions of another platform or system so as to allow applications and games to be run in environments they were not programmed for.

Note: For possibly more up to date selection of emulators, try checking the AUR 'emulators' category
Warning: Owning a high-level emulator is not illegal, but distribution of any type of copyrighted ROMs and unauthorized emulation (without written permission of the copyright holder allowing the user to do so) are illegal. Consequently, Arch Linux does not distribute this copyrighted content, including game ROMs and ripped console BIOSs. You are fully responsible for whatever usage of the emulators obtained from the official repositories or the Arch User Repository you make, as well as any legal repercussion that result. Arch Linux bears no responsibility at all.
