? So... trust me bro, "dice rolls are imperfect" ?

Rolling good dice is the best option we have. Remember the debian ssh bug? And the random number generator problem in Tails? And now coldcard? For kicks, just ask Kimi K2.6 to list bugs related to RNG that have happened in Tails and in the linux kernel.

A printed bip-39 wordlist. Rolling casino dice, odd number = 1, even number = 0 ; get 256 bits like that. Seems pretty good. Last word calculated on a seedsigner, a jade or an offline live-dvd computer.

There's also the pairing method : rolling twice the same die, discard the result if the two numbers are the same, if the first roll is higher than the second, that's a 1; if the first time is lower than the second time, that's a 0. That seems really good too.
