gollark: > or read the CMOS memory using inb/outbIsn't that the memory storing the BIOS and its data? Why is that random?
gollark: Clearly, things weren't random enough when you tried.
gollark: I ran it through valgrind, but that just complains about the standard library doing evil things in some other bits of the code, and seems to suggest mine is fine.
gollark: On the plus side, this is several hundred times faster.
gollark: My Nim code is binding to a C library, and I can't help but fear that it (my binding code, that is, the C library is fuzzed and whatever) is leaking memory horribly or invoking undefined behavior or something.
