Has anyone tried using an entropy broker (see
   [1]https://lwn.net/Articles/546428/) for sharing entropy between
   devices on a physical network?
   [2]https://we.riseup.net/debian/entropy#entropy-key seems to suggest
   that this is something that people do.

   A long time ago I bought a geiger counter for crypto exploration.
   Problem is, you can't buy rad sources strong enough to generate enough
   entropy (which is *still* subject to conditioning of course, despite
   the hype, and any way a GM tube will saturate..). Even if you take your
   smoke detector apart and use an alpha-windowed tube.
   But a detuned FM radio card seemed to do quite well. Admittedly, no
   white vans driving my amps. Are these sources not supported as entropy
   sources? (Pardon my linux randomness being out of date)
   Also, why u no trust Intel's RNG? :-)
   Physical otp key exchange can't be beaten... unless your correspondent
   is beaten.. silk burns clean, cyanide terminates the session
   "..trying to avoid sinning in the von Neumann sense.."

   I wish to God these calculations could be done by a
   steam engine, Babbage complained
