usage_description="
Uploads a file to https://catbox.moe/ and copies the resulting URL to your clipboard

Slow, use 0x0.sh instead

If the content is ASCII then prompts to confirm the content before uploading for your safe review as this is PUBLIC

Does not do this for non-ASCII files since we can't print media content to the terminal

Retention is PERMANENT. Use litterbox.sh if you want temporary upload

Recommended: for text use anonymize.py or anonymize.pl from the adjacent DevOps-Python-tools or DevOps-Perl-tools repos

Optional: for code - decomment.sh
