Through Python, you can access this random data using the function os.urandom in the os module, or you can call random.SystemRandom to generate a random number generator equivalent to the random ...

We like that [kajnjaps] made his own chaos-based random number generator instead of just calling random(). It uses a guitar string to collect ambient electronic noise and an entropy generator to ...

An understanding of random number generation is both a fascinating and important skill to have. We’ve featured so many RNGs over the years, here’s one powered by memes, and another by a fish tank.
