@pmonson no /dev/random is a scam made up by big entropy to sell more everything

@ricci you can slowly cage them with poor implementations of markov chains or fourior transforms. Quickly before /dev/random erases our simple knowledge tools

@biogeo Schrödinger's cat will be happy to take what's left over. Or not. Maybe.
