[Cryptography] The worlds easiest TRNG not to F-up

IanG has some awesome things to say about the difficulty of TRNGs and
random number generation in general:

I also discovered the excellent work of OneRNG, and Paul has been awesome
with advice:

After learning about these efforts, I no longer feel "the world's most
secure TRNG" is appropriate for my Infinite Noise Multiplier.  Instead, I'm
backing off to "least likely to F-up".  The whole noise immunity makes it
comparatively simple to get right.
