> I am not sure what that value means but when it's 32-128 I can't imagine that repeating what is available 400 times via reading from /dev/urandom is anywhere close to good enough, even for casual usage.
you do not understand what urandom does
urandom does not repeat the data from random, it uses random data if it's available, and if it's not it devolves into a PRNG, which is still pretty secure (as long as it had enough randomness at some point in the past to randomize it's initialization)
