> the entropy generated in virtualized environments isn’t truly random!
Back in the day, you'd use hsync interrupts as entropy source. I don't know the extent to which VirtualBox handles those properly, or whether Terry did that, or even if TempleOS used RDSEED, but if Mr. God is in control of the random numbers, surely he's in control of those, too. I suspect that, given the C64 heritage and since St. Terry relied on user input to pop random numbers out, it was something like the old-school game approach: which line of the screen was being drawn when the user hits a button. On the other hand, how'd VirtualBox handle that kind of thing? What's in the video BIOS? Or knowing St. Terry, probably he just used a counter that incremented several times per usec so the user could WRITE A FUCKING INTERRUPT HANDLER himself instead of Terry stealing the hsync. CrunkLord420 (npub1tj5…l33p) would probably know.

Okay, this is a reasonable theory, though.
