Oct 21 07:50:29 <mckoan> good morning
Oct 21 13:08:58 <mort> does rngd *really* need to use 100% of all cores for minutes after boot
Oct 21 13:09:17 <mort> there has to be a better way to generate randomness?
Oct 21 13:16:05 <rburton> mort: qemu or real hardware?
Oct 21 13:32:38 <mort> rburton: real hardware
Oct 21 14:00:50 <rburton> mort: if it has a proper hardware random generator, you can not use rngd at all
Oct 21 14:02:55 <rburton> or if you're happy without rngtools, you can disable the depends, it's just a packageconfig on openssh
Oct 21 14:10:48 <mort> I suppose the main thing I'm wondering is what it needs to use so much CPU resources for
Oct 21 14:22:12 <rburton> maybe, because its broken
Oct 21 14:22:23 <rburton> i'd like to rip it out entirely, tbh
Oct 21 14:22:35 <rburton> qemu machines can use virtio-rng anyway and thats what it was added for
Oct 21 14:42:52 <JPEW> mort: I've also had good results using the jitterentropy RNG on both actual hardware and in qemu
Oct 21 16:59:59 <alimon> mort: in one of my platforms i disabled the jitter (casuses high cpu) and only enable use atmel-rng to feed /dev/random
