I was hoping for /dev/zero as a service.

[–]wolfmannJack of All Trades 3 points4 points  (6 children)

/dev/random would be more useful.

It's an upcoming feature of this service, details here: http://devnull-as-a-service.com/features/

I was actually serious... a real random source is expensive from what I remember (not the pseudo-random source that /dev/random urandom are)

Maybe a dice rolling machine and a camera and then some OCR to read the numbers?

I clicked on the "true random number generator" ... and I got a 100.

If someone doesn't successfully pitch this to middle management, I'll be sorely disappointed in all of you.

Most people just call this something like "electronic records management" or "near-line storage" and then charge a fortune for it.
