hugo-theme-texify VS jitterentropy-rngd

Tangentially, I do use a LaTeX inspired Hugo theme[1].

It’s not perfect, but I like it. I worked on math textbooks and LaTeX as a side gig in college and it’s very comfortable for me.

Probably off putting to a non nerd audience, but it’s a self indulgent site, so whatever.

A LaTeX static site generator could be cool itself. I markdown so much these days it might be refreshing to revisit my past. One day I’ll Google that, I guess. :)

Any comments about how related the Linus Jitter Dance (btw, glad to see that djb isn't the only one making new dance moves..) is to JitterRNG: https://www.chronox.de/jent.html ?

The PDF linked to on the page goes into more detail but that is measured across a number of CPUs and has good performance in both amount and entropy quality produced. You do need to measure it per CPU, but it does comply with SP 800-90B which is what the US Gov considers the standards for randomness.

jitterentropy-rngd, a tool that uses CPU execution time jitter to quickly generate pseudorandom numbers that can be pumped into the pool, a helping hand. We tried Haveged and rngd-tools, jitter worked best for us.
