• Free version control for game development handling large projects??

  Self hosted Gitlab instance is an option. The only cost is hosting (personally I am using hetzner.com CPX31 instance, 16€ for 160GB a month but you can add 1TB volume for 45€ a month if you need more space). Just keep in mind that Gitlab needs about 8GB RAM to work correctly (it crashes on 2 and is only kinda stable on 4). You can also use an older computer or a NAS if you prefer to go that route.

• What Absolute control?

• I made a Bot.. How do I use it?

  Once you've created it you can host it locally (this means leaving the program running on your computer) or host it through a service online. I haven't personally tried this yet, but I believe you can use a site like heroku.com or other similar services. Source: 10 months ago

• Making AJAX Applications Crawlable? How to build a simple web service on Google App Engine to produce HTML Snapshots?

  I have my app hosted on Heroku, who (to my knowledge) are unable to offer a solution for running a Headless (GUI-less) Browser - such as HTMLUnit - for generating HTML Snapshots for Googlebot to index my AJAX content. Source: 11 months ago

• Engineers who have a personal website/blog, what are you using to host/generate it?

  Over the years, I’ve gone from Time Warner’s Road Runner, to Tumblr, to GitHub Pages, to Godaddy hosted WordPress. Though, after Godaddy messed up a migration, I switched to self-hosting on Heroku. I wrote my blog engine using Crystal. Reference: ejstembler.com. Source: 12 months ago
