#42I use http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ to backup to Amazon S3 (it has support for various other backends). It encrypts with GnuPG. S3 charges a few cents per GB of transfer and a few cents per GB of storage per month.
I've been looking at duplicity - do you do full system backups?
No, I backup my home directory and some web directories.

#43Is github really the only one that sells hosted git accounts? How come no one is competing with them?
I'd like to think it's because potential competitors take one look at our site and give up :-)
Seriously, though, thanks to everyone recommending GitHub. We're constantly trying to improve our service to remain the best (even if we're the only one) Git host.

#44My suggestion is to get Dreamhost (500GB, 5TB transfer) and buy this for a 2-year time. Enter the promo code "5050" to get $50 bucks off, making this a $150 for 2 years hosting plan that runs svn and you'll never run out of diskspace.
DON'T use Dreamhost. I once had my SVN with them; you have no control over availability - and availability wasn't good, in my experience.
ah, i did not know that. If you want the cheapest of the cheap they're your friend but it would appear that there's a good reason for that! I've been using vpslink.com to run my own VPS with SVN and all the rest. I've heard lots of great things about slicehost too.

#45I can't help but think that there are better ways to backup your code. Once you give it to an online service, you give up total control over how that data is handled.
Your code is everything. You should take care of it properly.
On the other hand, if you are working on OSS, then of course your need for privacy is trumped.
