You can already buy true random number generators. It's not onscure technology.

Tune a TV card to a dead channel. Done

There are ways to harvest entropy from your sound card's mic input with nothing plugged into it. You could generate random numbers on the same principle with a microcontroller and something to feed the A>D converter, like a photosensor.

>>830507

there's no need for that. you already have a hardware RNG built right into your processor!

I think Linus has been working for the deep state ever since they turned Transmeta into a black program.

The pentium 1 had one too, but they patched it out and made it DLC

I just bought a TRNG from the FSF

>read random.c as Linus says

/*
 * This function will use the architecture-specific hardware random
 * number generator if it is available.  The arch-specific hw RNG will
 * almost certainly be faster than what we can do in software, but it
 * is impossible to verify that it is implemented securely (as
 * opposed, to, say, the AES encryption of a sequence number using a
 * key known by the NSA).  So it's useful if we need the speed, but
 * only if we're willing to trust the hardware manufacturer not to
 * have put in a back door.

Gee thanks, Linus.

What was that hardware RNG from somewhere around Russia that got posted here a while ago

>>837848

That's not random, idiot.

>>837891

It's cryptographically secure and that's what counts, idiot.

>>839724

No, what counts is if you can use it to talk to God.

anons, you can do better
