|
https://github.com/lmacken/quantumrandom - free streaming entropy as a service from an academic quantum physics laboratory. ~1KiB/sec low end, 7KiB/sec high end. Libraries are included for evaluating the entropy. Dependency resolution is left to the user and their distro's package manager, as discussed in the readme. vim %s/\n//g onto the output makes for some nice cryptographic keys! I'm just no longer willing to have those keys travel to my desktop.
pip install --user quantumrandom may as well copy garbage into ~/.local/lib64 , as the commandline interface is neither registered, nor readily found. Taking out the '--user' flag only hits a gentoo error.
Any suggestions for how to resurrect this little guy? |

There's something ironic about trusting a remote PHP script and obsolete HTTPS configuration (TLS 1.0, RSA, CBC) to give you secure random numbers... |
