It hadn't occurred to me that even a photo with the lens cap on still contains decent entropy, although it now seems somewhat obvious to me in hindsight after thinking about it.
I really enjoyed how this article covered a variety of different "hacker-spirit" things; real-world entropy into "digital-world" meaningful use cases, plus a whole extra "one more thing" timelock encryption example at the end.
As someone who uses Cloudflare Workers / Pages heavily these days whenever I can, it's quite fun to see both "how the sausage is made" as well as the culture (playfulness?) behind it. Kinda makes me want to go visit the Austin office since I'm local.
Kudos and thanks to the Cloudflare team for writing stuff like this up! One of the more enjoyable tech pieces I've read in the past couple of weeks, and I learned multiple things along the way.
