So your data might not really be going to /dev/null - it might be going to a disk. Most likely not want you want at all.
I'll get a CVE allocated for this bug right away.

You're teasing, right? dig devnull-as-a-service.com ; ANSWER SECTION: devnull-as-a-service.com. 1481 IN A 213.95.21.200 http://whois.domaintools.com/213.95.21.200 Whois Server: whois.psi-usa.info ASN: Germany AS12337 NORIS-NETWORK noris network AG (registered Mar 22, 1999) IP Location: Germany - Bayern - Nuremberg - Noris Network Ag Domain Status: Registered And Active Website
A reverse lookup shows that the server is also hosting https://coffeestats.org/ - clearly there's someone here trying to collect vast amounts of data about the general public. I don't think the parents fears are unwarranted, the fact that it's hosted in a German IP block could be to throw people off the trail.

Was das alles so mit sich bringt schreibe ich manchmal hier auf. Manchmal nicht. Außerdem sammle ich hier ohne Sinn und Schema Zeug das ich nie wieder brauche."

Seems like a genuine joke to me. This is the guy behind it: http://noqqe.de "About Florian Baumann (24).

It is not deprecated in my usage. I use it all the time.
I do not rely on /dev/null.
I make my own null character devices as I need them.
Wow, is it April already? Do you suppose after they successfully implement /dev/random as a service, they might implement /dev/zero or /dev/full next? Or /dev/console might be especially useful.
Best nginx config ever? location /dev/null { if ($request_method = POST ) { return 200; } }
"200" makes sense. See wikipedia article on /dev/null[0]: "discards all data written to it but reports that the write operation succeeded." [0] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//dev/null

I second this one! makes more sense than plain 200.
I can't believe you guys are debating the correct HTTP return code for a joke service? Besides, it's obviously 200.
Besides, for POST it is obviously 202 ACCEPTED

I'm guessing it's inspired by the video "MongoDB is Web Scale" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2F-DItXtZs
If /dev/null is fast in web scale I will use it. Is it web scale? Does /dev/null support sharding?
