[pve-devel] [PATCH manager v4 7/9] ui: remove warning about entropy starvation of /dev/random

[Filip Schauer <f.schauer@proxmox.com>]

Remove the warning about entropy-starvation when using /dev/random as
the entropy source. This concern no longer applies since the removal of
the blocking entropy pool in kernel version 5.6. [1] [2]
