The author of the post happens to be the person who implements your crypto, so you don't have to roll your own: https://github.com/FiloSottile.

Taking this rare opportunity to put OpenSSL on blast a little bit - I have experienced no other software library or vendor where seemingly benign patch updates have completely broken functionality at the system level (in the web world). Semver people! Use it properly (and be consistent with the rest of the ecosystem you operate in)!!
