# rd - retoordom
retoordom is an alternative voor /dev/random and /dev/urandom.
Instead of random bytes, it returns emoji's and other unicode characters that won't screw up your terminal as /dev/random and /dev/urandom do. It's a friendly alternative to /dev/random and /dev/urandom.
It gives a more consistent troughput than the /dev/random and /dev/urandom.
I needed this application myself to test a network application I've written.
It's quite random but it's not completely random. It's a bit deterministic, but I don't want to make it deterministic.
For fun random stuff, check https://random.org. It's a bit more random than retoordom. I've spent some time at that site. It's fun. Especially if you let AI analyze random values and see if it can find patterns.
