| Are you saying to take a hash of a picture and convert that to base 6 for your dice rolls to plug into a word list for creating a passphrase? Is that actually better (in practice, not in terms of entropy) than /dev/urandom? I have a lot less trust in my ability to successfully scrub a picture from my phone that deterministically created my passphrase. |

It offers protection in the event that your /dev/urandom is compromised. Otherwise no. (Of course, if your /dev/urandom is compromised then whatever process you use to compute a hash of a photo is likely compromised as well.) | |

| If you have a computer do something you cant know if it really did what you wanted. |

| I actually have a lava lamp next to my desk for this reason. Snap a photo, compute a hash! |

Extra points if you hold you face really close and count in a dead language. You can also make ordered hand gestures in stead of counting on your fingers. Be a wizard about it! | | |
