What Hacker News says

For those who don't know them, Sam & Max use to maintain a French blog about "Python, Django, Git and Sex" they gave tips and good practices about those tools, and once in a while they would post about their sexual experience. They now changed the blog motto to "Some code, and some sex". But the concept is the same: NSFW meme as a pictures for french technical blog posts. 0bin.net in itself is just the Python implementation of ZeroBin. ZeroBin in the first implementation of an client side encrypted pastebin, it was written in PHP by another french blogger: sebsauvage. https://github.com/sebsauvage/ZeroBin The reason the french community is so active on this matter is because of multiple past french parliament bills equivalent to DMCA/Patriot Act in the 2010s.
