If the machine truly has little entropy to start, it might have trouble establishing a secure TLS connection to the remote source.

That said, here is my little "wwwrand" script, that assumes Google News will return unpredictable and unrepeatable content. You could also throttle curl using --limit-rate to generate more interrupts for strace to log.

nice -n 19 strace -CTiv -ttt curl -LNv https://news.google.com 2>&1 | shasum -a 512

Surely if you want unpredictable and unrepeatable content, 4chan is the place to go?

/r9k/ can hook you up.

That's a great idea!

See lavarnd.org for a modernized (2003) version.

I see random.org has an api https://api.random.org/json-rpc/1/
