   we use a hardware rng on this server actually.

     @chjara @Moon depends too, if it's seeded based on stuff like a non-grounded wire then i would absolutely not trust it
     if it's not radioactive or a chaotic system then software PRNG is basically preferable

     @Moon hardware rng is a good source of entropy when used alongside other ones but using it as a plain rng is Cringe

     @helene @Moon there is also the issue that hardware RNG are usually using subtly compromised algorithms intentionally

     @helene @chjara the one i got has like two capacitors wired in backward creating quantum noise. has some kind of bias detector as well that will shut it down if it malfunctions. obviously i am trusting the device to tell me it is working correctly.

     @xue @Moon @chjara it's very predictable and dependent on power usage etc

     @xue @Moon @chjara depending on how it's done it's not very chaotic at all (and it tends to not be)

     /etc/
     xD
     creating super-precise map of radio interference of the spc server room to guess (using quantum computers) spc keys
     
     like dont be ridiculous, radio is as chaotic as system can be without mathematical proof
