Add commands to remove pastes or set alive timer

[xetra11]

We receive an ID as soon as we push the cat to termbin. It should be possible to use that ID to also remove the paste as soon as we want to.

Additonally there should be an option to set the timer of 1 Month down to minutes via an option or parameter

I hope this is not ignored on purpose

@xetra11 this seems possible to achieve via cron or a systemd timer. You could try
find <Your_Fiche_Path> -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm -f {} \; running every month/week

I think OP meant from the client side. I came here looking for this feature as well, but did not see in docs anywhere.

Still, super neat program, thanks for sharing it! 🍻

This would be great for privacy reasons.

Well this would be an easy issue to implement if someone wants to make a pull request.

The codebase is a bit small, but you'd likely have to

1. Generate a deletion key and send along in a response
2. Add a parameter to tell the server whether you're adding or deleting
   Then the author will have to be pinged and decide whether he wants to merge

[martin-braun]

@cpebble sending a deletion key in the response would break existing scripts that work with the service. You would rather have to set a key (and perhaps an alive timer) in the request, so that you are in full control.

For those still worrying though, it's probably just better to host on your own to have complete control over your data.
