Notes &

gpg —gen-random 0|1|2 [COUNT]
Emit COUNT random bytes of the given quality level. If count is not given or zero, an endless sequence of random bytes will be emitted. PLEASE, don’t use this command unless you know what you are doing; it may remove precious entropy from the system!

man gpg

What?? Forever? As in .. my laptop won’t be able to generate random numbers anymore? Sounds bad.

Can anyone explain what this means?
