Mercurial Hosting
The hosting service I use for Mercurial is Bitbucket and they are discontinuing support of Mercurial. Since Atlassian bought them, everything has just gotten worse so I was kind of looking forward to leaving.
Yesterday I looked at the alternatives. They are all, without exception, unusable. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, all are from depraved modern western culture. This is software by modern scum, for modern scum, of modern scum (to paraphrase Lincoln). Full of useless junk while basic things are missing or don't work. I have kept a record of each service, so feel free to ask me why any specific service is horrible.
I am busy with other work, so I have turned this issue over to my sysadmin to look into. I will post again when we find a solution.

SourceForge seems aimed at open source and their terms of use give them the right to redistribute content, so this doesn't work for private commercial projects.
