> or emptying the OS entropy pool during high loads.

Just a heads up that's not really a thing. If the CSPRNG is initialized correctly you're done. There's nothing being depleted. I know for ages the linux docs said different, they were just wrong and a maintainer was keeping a weird little fiefdom over it.

Thanks for the heads up, then it’s one less reason for ULID to adopt this weird behavior.
