     @kirby The whole idea of free software is that it replaces proprietary software permanently rather than being a mere alternative.
     
     GPLv3-only or GPLv3-or-later?
     
     AGPLv3-or-later is the ultimate license really.

     @Suiseiseki @kirby Imagine needing a dedicated tool to generate random bytes.

     @Zergling_man @kirby Random bytes isn't what's wanted, rather it's random UTF-8 characters.
     
     It can be done on your computer with GNU dd and GNU iconv mind you; `dd if=/dev/urandom of=./random_UTF-8.utf8 bs=1024 count=1 2>/dev/null && iconv -cf 'SHIFT-JIS' -t 'UTF-8' ./random_UTF-8.utf8 && cat ./random_UTF-8.utf8 2> /dev/null`
     
     This isn't exactly completely random, as Shift-JIS does follow some pattern, but it's enough of a mess the output is random enough.

     @Zergling_man No it isn't, as UTF-8 has a defined layout and random data will not pass a compliant UTF-8 decoder.

     @Suiseiseki @kirby It's much the same thing.
