If you are referring to MEGARAND, no. There is no need for that since all of that has already been done over the years for the underlying primitives:

/dev/urandom … b2sum … shuf … chacha20 …

These primitives have been run through the gauntlet for years and are known to produce or use very good entropy. Chacha20 is especially prized for this and taking already random data and running it through the chacha20 cipher with random keys and/or salts is a very nice hedge against patterns and biases. Megarand stretches these primitive outputs to build a much larger pool for wherever you might want a big initial pool for pads, tokens, seeds, whatever.

If you’re paranoid you can run dieharder tests on the output, but it would just be placebo at this point.

I just now discovered this. I think I will have a gander.

Wise choice. Debian is upstream of the lion’s share of Linux desktop distros.

I like seeing cool things done with BASH. Hat tip to the Greek letters.

The only bogus thing here is your baseless insinuation and false comparison.

You are insinuating that MEGARAND is built upon Fortuna or a copycat thereof. That insinuation is false. By calling my work, ‘bogus’ you are casting a baseless barb, or a slander against my work.

You are attempting to dissuade readers from examining the work by labeling it with a negative label. And you are also attempting to promote Fortuna instead, when Fortuna has nothing to do with my work. Anyone taking your false comment at face value would be dissuaded from reading my work.

One of the newsgroup moderators probably knows the answer.

They are explicitly not running it via 9fans bridge. Access is via NNTP only.

Thunderbird sports a very mature NNTP interface if you have a newer computer. Claws-Mail also has a very good and fast NNTP interface, even on older computers. SLRN is available for a terminal-based interface.
