| > guys, I think you over-estimate what this tool does I don't at all. That's my whole point. You've taken yet another pretty simple command line utility, and made a "web service" for it. > In the past few months I've done the following at least 5 times I've probably generated 2x that many random strings just to generate test examples for how else this could be done, compare times, etc. I didn't suddenly think that I should put that on a http server somewhere. > maybe someone finds it useful or maybe someone uses it as a source of random data for their production application because they don't know any better. You can get random strings in a shell by running `base64 /dev/urandom | head -c 30`. If you wanted to make it (or your own solution) easier, why not just create a shell script (or a python script with a shebang line). Even easier execution (i.e., tab-completion to the path), no reliance on network or a server, no security issues by loading data over a remote connection. |
