You should use /dev/urandom nowadays, not /dev/random. According to
Theodore Ts'o on the Linux Kernel Crypto mailing list, /dev/random has
been deprecated for a decade.
From Re: [RFC PATCH v12 3/4] Linux Random Number Generator:[1]
Practically no one uses /dev/random. It's essentially a deprecated
interface; the primary interfaces that have been recommended for well
over a decade is /dev/urandom, and now, getrandom(2).
I guess I didn't specify as I thought I did.
