Hi guys, it appears that my NixOS host now features an rng daemon that's started by default. According to the man page, its purpose is to "feed random data from hardware device to kernel random device". The hardware device is supposed to be located at "/dev/hwrandom", but my machine doesn't have any such device. So I wonder why I'm running that daemon? Does it serve any purpose in the absence of special hardware?
