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. + +# Install +There are three ways to install the package: +1.
