Looks like a perfect backing device for /dev/null
2 comments

/dev/random gets all the attention, it's high time for a /dev/null hardware implementation.
There is /dev/null as a service: http://devnull-as-a-service.com/
Before that, even, it's very concerning that chroot()-jailed applications cannot access /dev/null in 2014!
By coincidence, I happen to have backups of /dev/null. Of every computer, every nanosecond since the beginning of the Universe. From this and all possible Universes.
