IP 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.

  A reverse lookup shows that the server is also hosting https://coffeestats.org/ 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.

    Seems like a genuine joke to me. This is the guy behind it: http://noqqe.de http://noqqe.de "About Florian Baumann (24). Arbeite bei der GfK SE und interessiere mich für allerhand Dinge unter anderem Debian, BSD, OpenSource, R, Statistik, Scripting, Hacks, Administration. Was das alles so mit sich bringt schreibe ich manchmal hier auf. Manchmal nicht. Außerdem sammle ich hier ohne Sinn und Schema Zeug das ich nie wieder brauche."

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!

    If you look carefully enough, we're all actually NSA sockpuppets.

      Da truth, but expect to be hellbanned any minute now.

I don't think most people got the joke here, judging by the replies.

  Guess not. Care to explain? Or is the whole joke just a "Ha! Nice try, NSA! jkjk"?
