If the system you are proposing amplifies quantum noise (i.e. from
photons from Sirius) then it is no different in principle from John
Walker's hotbits.

You may prefer one over the other but both produce genuine randomness.
And John's system is available here and now, while yours appears to be
only a figment of your imagination.
