Operational Scenarios

Scenario-oriented workflows generated from the binary's built-in -e --json examples.

Scenario 1: Basic Usage

Common operations for online information services

Step 1: Check online/offline status

online-info-switch status
Expected Output: System is online/offline

Step 2: Fetch security RSS feeds

online-info-switch rss
Expected Output: Latest security news

Step 3: Generate freshness proof

online-info-switch freshness
Expected Output: Time verification with news and blockchain

Scenario 2: Output Formats

Different output format options

Step 1: JSON output

online-info-switch status --json
Expected Output: Compact JSON format

Step 2: Pretty JSON

online-info-switch status --json-pretty
Expected Output: Indented JSON format

Step 3: Colored JSON

online-info-switch status --json-human
Expected Output: Colorized JSON output

Scenario 3: RSS Feed Operations

Fetch and display security news from RSS feeds

Step 1: Fetch all RSS feeds

online-info-switch rss
Expected Output: Latest security news

Step 2: Fetch from random source

online-info-switch rss --random
Expected Output: News from random feed

Step 3: Fetch from specific sources

online-info-switch rss --sources "darkreading,wired"
Expected Output: News from specified sources

Step 4: Limit to 5 items

online-info-switch rss --max-items 5
Expected Output: Top 5 news items

Step 5: RSS feeds in JSON

online-info-switch rss --json-pretty
Expected Output: JSON formatted RSS data

Scenario 4: Paste Service Operations

Upload content to public paste services (paste.rs, dpaste.com, catbox.moe). termbin.com requires --allow-termbin-plaintext (plaintext TCP, bypasses Tor/proxy).

Step 1: Paste from stdin to all default services (HTTPS only, Tor/proxy-safe)

echo "Hello World" | online-info-switch paste
Expected Output: URLs from paste.rs, dpaste.com, catbox.moe

Step 2: Paste text directly to default HTTPS services

online-info-switch paste "Sample content"
Expected Output: Paste URLs from default services

Step 3: Paste from file

online-info-switch paste --file /path/to/file.txt
Expected Output: Paste URLs

Step 4: Paste to paste.rs only

online-info-switch paste "test" --services "paste.rs"
Expected Output: paste.rs URL

Step 5: Paste to termbin.com (WARNING: plaintext TCP, bypasses Tor/proxy — explicit opt-in required)

online-info-switch paste "test" --services "termbin.com" --allow-termbin-plaintext
Expected Output: termbin.com URL

Note

termbin.com sends data over unencrypted TCP port 9999 which bypasses Tor and any proxy, exposing your real IP address. Only use on trusted networks when anonymity is not required.

Step 6: Paste to catbox.moe only

online-info-switch paste "test" --services "catbox.moe"
Expected Output: catbox.moe URL

Step 7: Paste to multiple specific services

online-info-switch paste "test" --services "dpaste.com,catbox.moe,paste.rs"
Expected Output: URLs from selected services

Step 8: Paste results in JSON

online-info-switch paste "test" --json-pretty
Expected Output: JSON formatted paste results
