True random number generator in python or javascript

I am trying to implement a simple pseudo random generator used in cryptography called LFSR (linear feedback shift register).

I have checked a few JS and Python websites for a way to generate a True Random Number but all I find is pseudo random number generator.

Is it possible to get a TRN from these coding languages ?

Just some pointers would be fine, I am not originally a coder so got a bit confused by this.

On your own, achieving true randomness is very difficult, but some APIs that do this exist.

random.org does it, for example.

True randomness comes from stuff like detecting radioactive decay events. So no, you cannot achieve true randomness with standard hardware.
