- throw0101a 7y ago$(date -u | wc --bytes) says there is 29 bytes worth of output, which is 232 bits. Are you telling me there is not even, say, 8 bits' worth of entropy credit in there? (Especially when hashed with other data?) Remember: the context of this discussion is VMs (and not embedded systems without a battery-backed RTC).
