Choose VoidPaste when
- You are sharing a log, diff, or secret-adjacent config that should die soon.
- You need burn-after-reading or max views.
- You want password or private ACL modes for code blobs.
Choose Rentry when
- You are writing durable notes, guides, or markdown pages with custom URLs.
- Long retention and edit codes matter more than burn.
- You want a publishing surface, not an ephemeral paste.
Retention is the product
Rentry’s default permanence is a feature for write-ups. VoidPaste’s default ephemerality is a feature for incident response and chat dumps. Do not put permanent documentation on VoidPaste; do not put short-lived secrets on Rentry expecting them to vanish.
