> difference between /dev/random and /dev/urandomm,

Ah yes, /dev/urandomm - this is the meditative version of
/dev/urandom, specially designed to invoke the Omm Mah Nay Pad May

The kernel devs were only a little reluctant to include this device -
but pending some constructive experimentation, should be in the 4.14
kernel.
