There are many ways to skin a cat.

My base32 leaves equals signs on the end, does yours not?

Unless you always have a password length that is a multiple of 15.

Yours has a nice advantage in that it doesn't chew up more entropy than
it needs, unlike mine. Doing a lot of random stuff can cause slowdown
and pauses, especially on virtuals, which often fill entropy pools more
slowly.
