Small script to generate a random password. Works on Linux with busybox, haven't tested on GNU.
hexdump -e '"%02x""\n"' /dev/random | tr -d '\n' | dd count=32 bs=1 2>/dev/null; echo

I had already made the decision to self-host, but this is even more reason why people should consider moving off GitHub.
Maybe its the tip to ditch my entire linux ecosystem and stop using shitty filesystems once and for all, too much problems for nothing
