lambdageekEvery time I generate a UUID I feel a little bit guilty about "using up" one of the 2^128 id's
like... oops... there goes another one... only infinitely more left...
Darby M. Dixon III@lambdageek we really should be able to claim them here
@darby3 why is this so satisfying....

Matt Panaro@lambdageek just wait'll you get on IPv6 and start allocating internet-routable addresses hither and yon, with absolutely wild abandon…😜
Wilfried Klaebe@lambdageek while :; do cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid ; done
@wonka oh no there goes my entropy...
@lambdageek How? AFAIK Linux uses a CSPRNG that all collected entropy is stirred into... 😉
slograb@lambdageek hey, give me that UUID back, I need it to keep track of my transaction!
unsponsor@lambdageek you know what they say, the difference between practically infinite and infinite is infinity
