bingo... yes, thank you very much
use it as number or seed for more intense uses
but like i said, it’s good enough for MY needs
Totally understood. Sometimes nerds tend to over engineer things just because we can. The snippet I posted earlier was a way to come up with a pretty random string. The problem is, it is not reproducable at all. It will always give you a unique answer. I have a script around here that will basically take any string, and run it through a hashing program to generate a really strong key. I use something like that to periodically update my wifi password. If you do it once a month you could choose an input string like "March 2021", and it would generate you a very strong wifi password. You'd also be able to recreate it at any time, just by passing the month/year through the script.
I don't have visitors often, but I've figured out a way to incorporate all that nonsense into a script that will generate a QR code, so I can just say 'scan this to get on wifi'.
I really can't help being a nerd. It's kindof an illness. I think it's also genetic
