From Wikipedia: Oblique Strategies (subtitled Over One Hundred Worthwhile Dilemmas) is a card-based method for promoting creativity jointly created by musician/artist Brian Eno and multimedia artist Peter Schmidt, first published in 1975. Physically, it takes the form of a deck of 7-by-9-centimetre (2.8 in × 3.5 in) printed cards in a black box. Each card offers a challenging constraint intended to help artists (particularly musicians) break creative blocks by encouraging lateral thinking.
This is a web page that randomly picks one of the oblique strategies and shows it to you.
This is a tarpit intended to catch web crawlers. Specifically, it's targetting crawlers that scrape data for LLM's - but really, like the plants it is named after, it'll eat just about anything that finds it's way inside.
It works by generating an endless sequences of pages, each of which with dozens of links, that simply go back into a the tarpit. Pages are randomly generated, but in a deterministic way, causing them to appear to be flat files that never change. Intentional delay is added to prevent crawlers from bogging down your server, in addition to wasting their time. Lastly, optional Markov-babble can be added to the pages, to give the crawlers something to scrape up and train their LLMs on, hopefully accelerating model collapse.

A sane, self-hosted password generator. Written in Javascript, basic interactive webapp. Generates random passcodes on demand. Offers all of the usual options -- length, choice of characters, omit lookalike characters, caps and lowercase. No build process. Has instructions for running your own copy.
They're useless. They're fun. They waste time.
POMjs is a random password generator in HTML and pure Javascript. It can be customized by modifying the sources. There's really nothing magic going on here, but it works and is somewhat responsive. The goal was to make something small, useful, and reasonably free from dependencies.
Download the distribution or clone the repo. Files and folders should be placed in your web root, or another folder accessible to your web server. All references to CSS and Javascript use relative paths.
There may be references to "Öppet Moln" ("Open Cloud"), which is a Swedish site run by the author of POMjs, oppetmoln.se, to promote open source solutions for general use. You can, of course, delete such references.
I'd appreciate a mention on whatever website you use this one, and a link to the original repo, but it's not required.
Generate random phone numbers for all countries using the mobile phone generator. These numbers are fake, but they are built using the validations of telephone numbers.
A site which takes a totally legit copy of the ROM of Final Fantasy 1 for the original NES and lets you randomize many aspects of the game, including the type of game (regular, hunting for x of something, boss rush, boss battle types), whether or not the bugs in the original ROM are fixed, what's in the shops, and other things. You can supply a seed to the randomizer or let it pick its own. Then download the ROM, load it into an emulator, and see how you do.
Pyrgg is an easy-to-use synthetic random graph generator written in Python which supports various graph file formats including DIMACS .gr files. Pyrgg has the ability to generate graphs of different sizes and is designed to provide input files for broad range of graph-based research applications, including but not limited to testing, benchmarking and performance-analysis of graph processing frameworks. Pyrgg target audiences are computer scientists who study graph algorithms and graph processing frameworks.
An online server that generates different kinds of random data for testing and development - integers, sequences, phone numbers, credit card numbers, names... you name it, they generate it. Has a REST API, 1k hits/month, request a free API key.
Mimesis is a package for Python, which helps generate big volumes of fake data for a variety of purposes in a variety of languages. The fake data could be used to populate a testing database, create beautiful JSON and XML files, anonymize data taken from production and etc.
Generate test data, unique ids, passwords, vouchers or other randomized textual data very quickly using a template language. The template language is superficially similar to regular expressions but instead of defining how to match or capture strings, it defines how to generate randomized strings.
Pagan hashes input strings to generate unique avatar images intended for use as profile pictures in web applications. These images can be used to replace default user images for new accounts, or to enhance comment sections by visually representing a user's IP address or username as an 8-bit-like character sprite and not a random blob of pixels (ala the drunken bishop algorithm).
An open-source utility for Linux that uses an attached webcam to seed the kernel's random number generator for cryptographic purposes.
An open source utility for Linux that seeds the kernel's random number generator with data pulled from an attached microphone.
What if Friedrich Nietzsche wrote Bill Keane's comic strip Family Circus?
A command line utility that calculates the amount of informational entropy in arbitrary fields of data. Useful for cryptanalysis and data compression research
