Only in the unlikely case that both RNGD and SCDrand turn out unsuitable
somehow. Writing and compiling a daemon is no less work than compiling
an already written daemon.

Do you mean I should add to the e-waste pile by throwing away working
hardware and buy an entire new computer inste

I've seen several like that. They're permanently sold out, or the
webshops are abandoned and half-broken. Pure random number generators
that are actually possible to buy are rare. That's why I'm
investigating whether s

If not from devices like this, from where does Debian get its randomness?

I have some EntropyKeys and some OneRNGs. I have the rngd packaged
in Debian feeding /dev/random from them.
This had an actual noticeable effect
Hello!
In a quest to acquire hardware random number generators for seeding
/dev/random on servers that lack a built-in entropy source, I'm
investigating how random data can be obtained from a security key such
as a Nitrokey, Yubikey or a similar device.
