01:22 <darfo> I've been using the suggestion "better algorithm to seed /dev/urandom" mentioned in https://crux.nu/Wiki/TODO38 since 3.7 and in 3.8 since it was released. I cloned the git repo for tools/rc. I'd like to push the changes for review but haven't a clue how. The New Pull Request at https://git.crux.nu/tools/rc/pulls is greyed out.

01:24 <darfo> It would be messy to submit as patches. Any ideas would be appreciated.

18:01 <SiFuh_> darfo: if you are using a more recent kernel, hardware based RNG was introduced as a replacement for the software version of /dev/urandom. It is technically deprecated now, unless you haven't enabled Random Number Generation in the kernel. So in other words, it shouldn't exist and actually be commented out.

21:31 <darfo> SiFuh_: using kernel 6.12.27 and it has RNG support but the underlying hardware, which is about five years old doesn't have an hardware RNG. It's probably best if rc does something to seed the kernel RNG.
