Sounds crazy, but this wall of lava lamps keeps you protected from hackers.
In the lobby of Cloudflare's global headquarters in San Francisco, there's a wall packed with 100 lava lamps of various colors. These lamps are recorded with a camera and a live feed sent to the company’s server, so that lava-related data can be extracted from the image and used to generate packets of unpredictable bits. These unpredictable bits are then sent to Cloudflare servers around the world to help generate cryptographic keys, which ultimately encrypt data for around 10 percent of all web requests.
In other words, when you browse the internet, the security of the data you’re sending and receiving is, in part, provided by this wall of lava lamps.
