What's the best hardware for running a /dev/null instance for production?

  I usually do a kubernetes cluster on top of VMs. But sometimes when I really want to scale the standard cloud server less platforms all support /dev/null out of the box. (Except for Windows...)

      Still need an adapter library though! Fortunately there are about 7 competing implementations on npm and most of them only have 5-6 transitive dependencies.

      set "nul1=1>nul" set "nul2=2>nul" set "nul6=2^>nul" set "nul=>nul 2>&1" just saw this in a .cmd script

  A single resistor at ground voltage.

    That doesn't support expected features like 'stat /dev/null'.
