Fri Mar 28 00:19:51 UTC 2014 <Apocalyptic> it's like an entropy feedback loop
Fri Mar 28 00:19:35 UTC 2014 <tg2> Rngd uses more entropy points
Fri Mar 28 00:18:42 UTC 2014 <Apocalyptic> you're using /dev/urandom as a source of entropy ?
Fri Mar 28 00:12:56 UTC 2014 <tg2> can has entropy
Thu Mar 27 21:21:47 UTC 2014 <deadweasel> put some entropy in that shit
Thu Mar 27 21:21:03 UTC 2014 <deadweasel> oh man, i'm hungry, gonna make some entropy.
Thu Mar 27 21:20:19 UTC 2014 <pankkake> well then, you *were* entropy starved
Thu Mar 27 21:17:06 UTC 2014 <pankkake> anyway, my question was about /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail - if it's low then fixing *that* will make higher quality gpg keys faster
Thu Mar 27 21:14:47 UTC 2014 <Apocalyptic> you're just depleting the entropy pool for no use
Thu Mar 27 21:13:10 UTC 2014 <tg2> and at 5 keys/s, entropy generation is not the limitation
Thu Mar 27 21:12:49 UTC 2014 <tg2> then you have sufficient entropy for gpg to operate
Thu Mar 27 21:11:48 UTC 2014 <tg2> none seemed to have an impact and gpg never complaind about lack of entropy
Thu Mar 27 21:11:16 UTC 2014 <Apocalyptic> tg2, you're just exhausting the entropy pool then
Thu Mar 27 21:09:31 UTC 2014 <Apocalyptic> such entropy
Thu Mar 27 21:09:23 UTC 2014 <tg2> it is using perl to generate entropy
Thu Mar 27 21:07:35 UTC 2014 <tg2> provides enough entropy to get by
Thu Mar 27 21:07:15 UTC 2014 <pankkake> tg2: fun. did you check you were not entropy starved for your performance stats?
Thu Mar 27 17:37:32 UTC 2014 <tg2> fk this vanity gpg generator is an entropy whore
Sat Mar 22 17:19:21 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> incidentally, my first exposure to the problem of RNGs with inadequate entropy was by accident, at uni
Sat Mar 22 14:47:00 UTC 2014 <artifexd> Unless the bias is 100%, in which case there is no entropy to tap so you can't get any entropy out.
