> usual "true random number" bullshit

What's bullshit about it? This is how TRNGs in security enclaves work. They collect entropy from the environment, and use that to continuously reseed a PRNG, which generates bits.

If you're talking "true" in the philosophical sense, that doesn't exist -- the whole concept of randomness relies on an oracle.
