    Digging deeper now I found these links, so basically it uses `ThreadRng` from the `rand` crate. It mentions that the `ThreadRng` also seeds data from `OsRng` so I guess it's not much different, but I'm no expert in this area so I will post the links so if you find anything useful, please share:https://github.com/uuid-rs/uuid/issues/529https://github.com/uuid-rs/uuid/pull/545https://docs.rs/rand/latest/rand/rngs/struct.ThreadRng.html

    Those aren’t bytes — they’re integers of various sizes. (Hint: do not use integer types in C code for portable data structures. ntohl, etc are a mess. Just use arrays of bytes.)

    I don’t know the whole history, but MS somehow took this structure at face value and caused problems like this:

    So, if you want to do anything (e.g. sorting) that depends on the representation of a UUID (or even depends on converting between string and binary representations), be aware that UUIDs coming from Windows may be little-endian. In my book, this is a Windows bug, but opinions may differ here.
