You need a PRNG, seeded by a single call to arc4random_buf.. (xoroshiro128+=
?)
People are unfortunately rejecting your usecase as invalid because this does
not require a csprng. :-( (to me that sums up everything that is wrong, you
known you don't need one, but notmal averege joe programmer has no idea of =
all
the subtleties ans is stuck with using random() ..)
