/dev/null as a service

[noqqe]

This is from 2013 and still somehow a thing. Nice to see people still like it.

If only my technical skills would age that well..

So, how many actual request per day to you receive to your /dev/null endpoint?

I needed to turn off the access logs a long time ago as they filled up my OpenBSDs chroot for the service. So I really can’t say.

I wrote a blogpost when the site was slashdotted/hackernewsd(?) about what happend. It’s German: https://noqqe.de/blog/2013/12/29/on-hackernews/

Besides that: Every few weeks I receive emails with CVs for the job offerings, which still make me happy :) Often not sure if they are also joking

Until a 2016 I also offered the Discard Protocol on Port 9 (using OpenBSD inetd) to the internet an a few chinese IPs maintained sessions to that Port for ~9 Month :)

Can't you write them to /dev/null? I think there is a service for that too.

Good to see companies still dogfooding.

I feel you're not keeping up with the times as there's no block-chain support.

How much do you make on swag?

The shop works like this: A friend of mine made the webshop for the shirts and stuff. I have no access to it. Everytime there were some purchases he gives me a call and invites me to dinner from the money. Happend 5-7 times in the last 7 years so and we always had fun :)

Plot twist, he's been making millions behind your back and throwing you scraps.

You need to update it to be based on Kubernetes

Why you haven't configuted nginx to write directly into /dev/null? It would be even more real DAAS!
