#32IP address is owned by NSA Fort Meade office. Possible honeypot scheme? I can't think of any other reason it would have that attractive free tier.
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.

#35Best nginx config ever? location /dev/null { if ($request_method = POST ) { return 200; } }
Shouldn't it return the status code "410 Gone"?

#36Wow, 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.
I've already launched a competitive /dev/urandom service!

Erm, looks like it's based in Germany to me:
$ curl ipinfo.io/`dig +short devnull-as-a-service.com `
{
"ip": "213.95.21.200",
"hostname": "o0.n0q.org",
"city": null,
"region": null,
"country": "DE",
"loc": "51,9",
"org": "AS12337 noris network AG"

So the NSA is not only spying on the Germans, they're impersonating them to cover their tracks!
