For users there are plenty of pastebin alternatives
Honestly, my biggest issue with the alternatives is how most other services are either too complicated, don't make it easy to just use the keyboard or end up like Hastebin and getting bought up and honestly getting a lot worse.
So, make a little function to help: # upload a file to 0x0.st # Example usage: # upld temp/sensors (~/temp/sensors) upld() { if [ -z "$1" ]; then echo "Usage: upld <filename>" return 1 fi local filename="$1" curl -F "file=@$filename" https://0x0.st } Stick that in your ~/.bashrc (or, if you're pedantic, ~/.bash_functions) (don't know what to do for zsh). Pretty keyboard friendly!

I 100% support having our own paste service that's on a trustworthy domain like archlinux.org, though I do have some concerns about being able to upload more than just text. I haven't used Rustypaste before, so I can't comment much on that, but reading your email does seem like that would be possible.
I don't think Orhun's 1 hour TTL suggestion is realistic, especially if this is going to be for people to use when asking for help on the BBS.
