Wasting time online it is one of the articles that we enjoy doing the most and we have arrived at ninth part! A small summary for those who don't already know this type of article. In addition to our usual alternative articles, we occasionally offer collections:

• Wasting time online, where we propose projects Open source funny that wouldn't find space in a dedicated article. You can find them all here;

• Nice sites and that's it, a semi-annual super-collection where we insert a huge amount of fun links and nice projects found around the internet. Not Open source nor collaborative but just beautiful, and that's it;

• Rogue nostalgia, a mix of projects Open source and not that they have nostalgia as a common denominator!

Wasting time online: part nine

So let's get started, as always we highlight five projects Open source:

• Draw all roads in a city at once, this fun project Open source ¹ render all the streets of a city thanks to data from OpenStreetMap. To see it in action, just enter the name of any city. The map created is also customizable, you can change the color of the background and the lines (of the roads) and save it in .svg or in .png. Not only that, you can also turn it into a mug made on Zazzle with just one click;

• PINTR, another project Open source ² really very nice that allows you to recreate an image only with lines. Just insert any photo and it will be reproduced only and exclusively by lines. You will have several options to modify it such as the number of lines to use, the contrast, the definition and much more. You can then download everything in .png or in .svg;

• Rubik's Cube ³, little to say about this. You will find yourself in front of the famous Rubik's cube, will you be able to solve it?

• Muscular Hydrostat ⁴, an experiment that simulates tentacles, wow!

• Runno, especially suitable for those who are learning to program but not only. Thanks to Runno you will have the possibility to run codes in different languages (Python, JavaScript, SQL, C and C++) on a console without the risk of breaking anything and without actually having your own machine to test on. Beautiful, useful and Open source ⁵!
