+Subject: [PATCH] sync-utils: use getrandom() to generate randomness
+
+GCC complains that we ignore the return value from fread(), which is
+important for error checking.
+
+This is easy to fix, but might as well switch to getrandom() while we're
+at it, since this is the nice/modern way to get randomness.
+
+Note: requires glibc 2.25 or a newish FreeBSD.
