The latest Random Dog …
And a Random TiddlyWiki …
The Random Dog size report issue has been fixed by @EricShulman and @tw-FRed .
This is how the result looks now …

Random Tiddlywiki …
Online access to Radio via Музыкальные радиостанции (= Music Radio Stations)
I made a wiki with the sole purpose of redirecting to a random tiddlyhost hosted wiki: https://random.tiddlyhost.com/
This is the source code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script async>
(async () => {
console.log("🚀 Starting redirect script...");
try {
const tiddlyhostUrl = `https://tiddlyhost.com/explore?k=tw&s=r&cache_buster=${Date.now()}`;
const proxyUrl = `https://api.allorigins.win/raw?url=${encodeURIComponent(tiddlyhostUrl)}`;
console.log("Fetching wiki list from:", proxyUrl);
const response = await fetch(proxyUrl);
if (!response.body) {
throw new Error("Response body is not readable.");
}
const reader = response.body.getReader();
const decoder = new TextDecoder();
let buffer = '';
console.log("Streaming response to find link...");
while (true) {
const { done, value } = await reader.read();
if (done) {
console.warn("‼️ Stream finished before a link was found. The website's HTML structure may have changed again.");
break;
}
buffer += decoder.decode(value, { stream: true });
// We search for the start of an anchor tag with a 'target' attribute.
const linkIndex = buffer.indexOf('<a target=');
if (linkIndex !== -1) {
// We found the link, now grab the href from that point forward
const relevantHtml = buffer.substring(linkIndex);
const hrefMatch = relevantHtml.match(/href=(["'])(.*?)\1/);
if (hrefMatch && hrefMatch[2]) {
const randomWikiUrl = hrefMatch[2];
console.log(`✅ Link found: ${randomWikiUrl}`);
await reader.cancel();
console.log("Stream cancelled. Redirecting now...");
window.location.href = randomWikiUrl;
return; // Stop the script
}
}
}
} catch (error) {
console.error("❌ An error occurred:", error);
}
})();
</script>
<meta name="application-name" content="TiddlyWiki">

<body class="tc-body">
<h1>Loading...</h1>
<p>Please wait while we redirect you to a random TiddlyWiki.</p>
<p>If you are not redirected automatically, please try reloading the page.</p>

I tried to make the redirect faster by using streaming to avoid waiting for the whole html page to be downloaded but it seems like it’s less reliable … I reverted to a simpler fetching and a bit slower method which should work as long as the free proxy I’m using keep working 
Brilliant!
It is working now!
How could I use this in my own TW? (I don’t want to burden yours every day)

You can use this wikitext:
\procedure store-response()
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/temp/response" status=<<status>> data=<<data>>/>
\end
\function tiddlyhost.url()
[[https://tiddlyhost.com/explore?k=tw&s=r&cache_buster=]addsuffix<now TIMESTAMP>]
\end
\function fetch.url()
[<tiddlyhost.url>encodeuricomponent[]addprefix[https://api.allorigins.win/raw?url=]]
\end
\procedure fetch()
<$action-sendmessage
$message="tm-http-request"
url=<<fetch.url>>
bind-status="$:/temp/response/status"
oncompletion=<<store-response>>
/>
\end
\function tiddlyhost.link()
[{$:/temp/response!!data}split[.tiddlyhost.com]nth[2]split[href="]last[]addsuffix[.tiddlyhost.com]]
\end
<$button actions=<<fetch>> >Fetch Random Wiki</$button>
Status: {{$:/temp/response/status}}
<a href=<<tiddlyhost.link>> ><<tiddlyhost.link>></a>
It works well, quickly, giving an address.
Perfectly.
But clicking the link replaces my wiki with the link.
Can it be changed to always open the link in new frame?
TT
To always open the link in new tab or window, use:
<a href=<<tiddlyhost.link>> target=_blank><<tiddlyhost.link>></a>
-e

Here’s an improved version, that will also display the thumbnail of the wiki and the description, on wiki load.
Create a tiddler with the tag “$:/tags/StartupAction/PostRender”
\procedure store-response()
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/temp/response" status=<<status>> data=<<data>>/>
\end
\function tiddlyhost.url()
[[https://tiddlyhost.com/explore?k=tw&s=r&cache_buster=]addsuffix<now TIMESTAMP>]
\end
\function fetch.url()
[<tiddlyhost.url>encodeuricomponent[]addprefix[https://api.allorigins.win/raw?url=]]
\end
\procedure fetch()
<$action-sendmessage
$message="tm-http-request"
url=<<fetch.url>>
bind-status="$:/temp/response/status"
oncompletion=<<store-response>>
/>
\end
\function tiddlyhost.link()
[{$:/temp/response!!data}split[.tiddlyhost.com]nth[2]split[href="]last[]addsuffix[.tiddlyhost.com]]
\end
\function tiddlyhost.thumbnail()
[{$:/temp/response!!data}split[class="thumbnail-large" src="]nth[2]split[" />]first[]]
\end
\function tiddlyhost.title()
[<tiddlyhost.link>split[/]last[]split[.]first[]]
\end
\function tiddlyhost.description()
[{$:/temp/response!!data}split[class='description']nth[2]split[</span>]first[]split[>]last[]]
\end
<<fetch>>
Then display the result like this:
\import [[$:/macros/getRandomWiki]]
<%if [{$:/temp/response/status}match[pending]] %>
Loading..
<%elseif [{$:/temp/response/status}match[complete]] %>
<a target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none;color:inherit;" href=<<tiddlyhost.link>> >
<$image source=<<tiddlyhost.thumbnail>> />
<h2><<tiddlyhost.title>></h2>
</a>
<$list filter="[<tiddlyhost.description>]">
{{!!title}}
</$list>
<%endif%>
