How Lava Lamps Help Cloudflare Keep The Internet Safe From Hackers
The #WallOfEntropy has over a hundred individual lava lamps. A camera snaps a picture that is converted into a corresponding numerical value. Since the lava is constantly moving no two images will ever be the same.
The result is a sequence of truly random numbers, which is then used as a starting point for generating the encryption key

Hello #encryption users! Does any of you have experience using #Tomb? Fun to use? Things I need to worry about if I want to rely on it?
(Tomb's developed by @dyne)
On Mac I used to work with encrypted disk images for storing/backing-up secrets, but to my horror I see these .dmg's don't seem to work on Linux (and so were a risk all along).
Tomb seems promising: encrypted folders. And the files remain accessible (alongside key) from any sensible machine that allows running cryptsetup, right?
Are you curious about all you've heard that quantum computing is going to destroy encryption as we know it? In this week's Security Bits, @bart breaks down the difference between today's computers and quantum computers and then explains how we're ready for them when they become a reality.
