Hi,
Prior to Noble, the pastebinit command defaulted to paste.ubuntu.com. In
Noble, this has changed to dpaste.com due to an upstream change[1].
What do Ubuntu developers think the default should be? If it should
remain paste.ubuntu.com, we can ask upstream to change it back, or add a
delta for now.
Reason to keep it dpaste.com:
People have complained that the login requirement makes it unusable for
helping Ubuntu users at large who don't necessarily have an Ubuntu SSO
account.
Reason to keep it paste.ubuntu.com:
I'm not keen on relying on third party services when not necessary,
especially ad-supported ones. I have no reason to distrust the current
operator, but in general, these things tend to go wrong sooner or later.
There was more discussion on IRC[2].
