Security tools can help practise morse / 2020-01-06

Today I needed blocks of random letters to practise sending morse. What better tool to create those blocks than good old pwgen with the right settings:

$ pwgen -0 -A 5 12
ahhud eizaa kuoku ahyoo aequi epiis eiwei eimap sohsh papai ikeit oucho

And the trick for generating groups of five digits is a bit longer:

$ pwgen -r abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz -A 5 12
97228 85996 98876 38451 06091 98556 53369 73632 29509 29032 89601 16078

Or both letters and digits:

$ pwgen -A 5 12
sa7la oc7ko an5ne axae6 vohz6 aez5i eh3qu sha5m inai8 eor3a fuv1o ro6ha

Use better parameters with pwgen to generate actual passwords.
