Alternative Pastebin Options

Continuing the discussion from Ubuntu Pastebin Decommissioning:

I did some quick research and found the following options to consider:

  1. GitHub Gist
  2. PrivateBin
  3. Pastezen
  4. Hastebin

Has anyone used these services, have any experience with them, thoughts on whether they offer a viable alternative?

As far as I can tell, the only one that requires an account/registration is GitHub.

Another alternative - as long time user I can recommend:
termbin.com 9999

I usually use Pastebin:

https://pastebin.com/

You can see a long list of alternatives here:

I see that it still lists Ubuntu’s one; I’ll raise a bug report to remove it.

Reported issue #52.

Looks like dpaste.com is built into the pastebinit command so it may still work without many changes when paste.ubuntu.com shuts down

Does anyone know how to specify a username and password when pasting to dpaste with pastebinit? That way you can delete pastes after the fact.
