Now open to the public: After Dark.

Calling all travelers with a love for old horror novels and fantasy. Step into the book at the landing point and explore a medieval world, a gothic vampire castle owned by count Dracula himself.. find the attic in the boarding house where Victor Frankenstein created his creature or perhaps the room where Edgar Allen Poe wrote his "The Raven".. or maybe you just want to take a stroll around, enjoy the athmosphere and calming music, cuddle by a campfire in the woods (the wolves don't bite.. much) or explore the Citadel in all its glory.

This could be considered a gothic sim but without the gore. No blood fountains here, just a fantasy of ancient times, smoking fires, and something evil lurking. Experience the romance, the melancholy, the loss that was at the root of so many evil things.. experience After Dark. If you dare..

There are lots of OpenSim users with top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art machines with a high-end Nvidia gaming graphics card running Windows 11 who complain about Firestorm 7 being terribly slow. In comparison with Firestorm 6 even.

I have hardware that was upper-mid-range in 2018 with AMD graphics running Debian GNU/Linux. I've got nothing to complain about how Firestorm 7 is performing. (Of course, literally nobody here will believe me.)

This either means that I've hit a sweet spot in combining hardware and software. And that the combination of a top-range Intel i9 CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Ti and Windows 11 is actually objectively slower than the combination of an eight-year-old six-core AMD Ryzen CPU, and AMD Radeon RX 590 and Debian. At least when running Firestorm.

Or this means that everyone else considers a two-digit frame rate a slideshow whereas I've happily capped my frame rate at 30.

What I can comprehend even less is that single-threaded Firestorm 6 is supposed to be faster than multi-threaded Firestorm 7 on a CPU with 12, 16, 24 or more threads.

💥 ATHENA MACHT’S AUF IHRE ART – UND ZWAR MIT AUGENZWINKERN

Athena trägt ihre Outfits nicht einfach – sie führt sie aus. Mal mit der Eleganz einer Diva, mal mit der Frechheit einer Frau, die genau weiß, dass alle hinschauen… und es genießt. Ihr Stil bewegt sich irgendwo zwischen „Ich bin Kunst“ und „Ich bin das Chaos, vor dem dich deine Mutter gewarnt hat“ – und genau das macht sie so unwiderstehlich.

Ob glamourös, verführerisch oder rebellisch lässig: Athena schafft es, dass jedes Outfit plötzlich nach „Signature Look“ aussieht. Sie stolziert nicht, sie schwebt. Sie posiert nicht, sie regiert. Und während andere noch versuchen, Trends zu folgen, hat sie längst den nächsten erfunden – aus Versehen, beim Vorbeigehen.

Another update for the cuffs
—---------------------------------
Get them at:

hop://hg.osgrid.org:80/The%20Silvertree%20Cove%20-%20BDSM/...

Cuffs 2603:
- Timer now works in online time and RL time mode
- Self bondage, lock, select pose, and set the timer
- Cuffs status saved in linksetdata, it survives intra-grid teleports and script resets
- New Normal texture for both PBR and NON-PBR
- Compatible with LockMeister and LockGuard furniture
- New original animations
- Movement restriction while bound
- Keyholder
- RLV Lock

Still planning what to do for the next update. Should I make a colour change hud or some bound walking animations?

im not sure what happened, but those who received my Japanese Textures please come get them again. I set them to full perm and i looked at them today and the wood ones were transfer only. I have since set them again to full perm. I do apologize to anyone who came to get them. It has been corrected.

Also, i have put out boxes for those who want or need them. The bottom of the display are boxed, the ones on the wall are still "folders". Again, i apologize.

Brands Hatch 2026: 100 Years of Racing – A century full of power, and we're celebrating it here on our authentic race track covering an area of ​​16 sims.

This year marks 100 years since the first wheels turned in anger at Brands Hatch.
Brands Hatch in Kent, England, began as a 1926 dirt track for motorcycles on farmland, evolving into a premier tarmac racing venue by 1950. Famous for the challenging Paddock Hill Bend, it hosted 12 British Grands Prix (1964–1986), iconic F1 moments, and today serves as a top venue for British Superbikes and Touring Cars under MotorSport Vision.

The 2.433 mi (3.916 km) "Grand Prix" layout we built inworld, this track has played host to several Formula One Grands Prix, including those with moments such as Jo Siffert's duel with Chris Amon in 1968 and 1992 World Driver's Champion Nigel Mansell's first win in 1985.
______________________________________________________

Brands Hatch 2026: 100 Jahre Rennsport – Ein Jahrhundert voller Power und das feiern wir hier auf unserer authentischen Rennstrecke auf einer Fläche von 16 sims.

Dieses Jahr jährt sich zum 100. Mal der Start der Rennstrecke in Brands Hatch.

Brands Hatch in Kent, England, begann 1926 als unbefestigte Motorradstrecke auf Ackerland und entwickelte sich bis 1950 zu einer der führenden Asphaltrennstrecken. Berühmt für die anspruchsvolle Paddock Hill Bend, war die Strecke Austragungsort von 12 britischen Grand Prix (1964–1986), legendären Formel-1-Momenten und dient heute als Top-Rennstrecke für britische Superbikes und Tourenwagen unter der Schirmherrschaft von MotorSport Vision.

Dieses Jahr jährt sich zum 100. Mal der Start der britischen Superbike- und Tourenwagen-Meisterschaft.

Die 3,916 km lange „Grand Prix“-Strecke, die wir in der virtuellen Welt nachgebaut haben, war bereits Schauplatz mehrerer Formel-1-Grand-Prix, darunter solcher mit unvergesslichen Momenten wie dem Duell zwischen Jo Siffert und Chris Amon im Jahr 1968 und dem ersten Sieg des Fahrerweltmeisters von 1992, Nigel Mansell, im Jahr 1985.

In the mythical world of Fantasia, the beauty between Nature and humankind is often intermingled in the form of dryads and tree elves, beings who embody the delicate harmony between root and soul. Dryads, bound to ancient trunks and whispering groves, carry an unmistakably human grace in their expressions and emotions, while tree elves move with the fluid stillness of wind through leaves. Together, they represent a living bridge between two worlds—one of soil and sap, the other of thought and longing. In their presence, the forest does not feel separate from humanity but rather like an extension of it, as though every heartbeat echoes the rhythm of rustling branches overhead.

This mingling of forms is most visible at twilight, when tree elves walk along moss-covered paths and dryads emerge from the bark of silver birches, their fingers brushing the hands of human wanderers without fear. In Fantasia, such encounters are not rare legends but quiet truths: humans who listen closely begin to understand the language of leaves, while dryads and tree elves learn compassion, curiosity, and hope from humankind. The result is a shared beauty—neither wholly wild nor wholly civilized—where laughter sounds like birdsong and wisdom grows as steadily as the trees themselves.

Estate Object Scattererer

Use the module to rez an object (for example, a tree or greeter) scattering it across a region within specified estate. You can optionally scatter the object across all regions in the estate. Like if you want to landscape 256 regions at once. Avoids putting things in water and on cliffs. The prim-based rezzers probably won't cover an entire 4096x4096 region (or 256x256, 512x512, 1024x1024) due to limitations in the lsl rez command. Using a module gives you full region coverage and can also do all regions in an estate at once.

AHOY, YE LANDLUBBERS!

This afternoon, at the ungodly hour of 12:30 PM PST / 9:30 PM CET, the cannons shall BOOM, KABOOM, and possibly go PEW-PEW in the legendary Catronian Archipelago! It's Celyddon Navy ships versus fearless privateers — basically the world's most dramatic game of sailing boats, but with more explosions and significantly less safety

YOU can be part of this glorious chaos! Fancy yourself a captain? Grab the wheel and try not to crash into anything important. More of a "point and shoot" kind of person? Hop on as a gunner and unleash your inner toddler-with-a-toy-cannon energy. Or, if commitment terrifies you, just show up as a spectator and pretend you knew what was going on the whole time.

We'll be waiting for you — and please, for the love of all things nautical, show up a little early. The cannons wait for no one.

Viele neue Outfits für XARA bei BK-Mode

Xara zeigt wieder einmal, wie vielseitig Stil sein kann, wenn man ihn einfach lebt. Mal elegant, mal verspielt, mal mit einem Hauch „Ich weiß genau, was ich tue“ – und immer mit dieser mühelosen Selbstverständlichkeit, die Mode erst richtig spannend macht.

Bei BK‑Mode geht es nicht darum, sich zu verkleiden. Es geht darum, sich zu zeigen. Und Xara macht vor, wie das aussieht, wenn man’s mit einem Augenzwinkern und einer Portion Attitude trägt.

CLAN ESCOTIA LIVE! at 11am. AT HOTEL CALIFORNIA. CLAN will sing your socks off. CLAN & WEBBY ESCOTIA have some new original songs that Clan will perform. After party will be at CALIFORNIA VINEYARDS, rows of heavy grapevines stretch toward the horizon. In the center of it all, wooden barrels overflow with laughter as guests kick off their shoes and climb in for a VALENTINES DAY grape stomping party. Glasses of fresh rosé and bold cabernet clink together while guests dance between barrels, grape juice splattering like abstract art across white linen outfits. It’s messy,
DJ Cliff will be, spinning upbeat tracks that echo across the vineyard. His music keeps the energy high—funky, feel-good rhythms layered over the hum of celebration.

# ✨🌙 **A Little Magic Returns to OpenSim… and So Do I**

Guess who’s back on a regular basis — brighter, lighter, and glowing with **renewed clarity, stronger peace of mind, and a spirit that’s fully recharged**.

I’m stepping forward with a calm heart, a focused mind, and a sparkle that’s impossible to dim.

# 🌾💫 **Farming System: Reawakening With New Magic**

The combined farming system that I am restructuring is coming back to life — refreshed, revamped, and sprinkled with a little extra enchantment. Expect new items, new ideas, and a whole lot of cozy charm as everything begins to bloom again.

# 🐺🌟 **The Wolf Pack Club — Rising Again Soon**

The Wolf Pack Club will be reopening in the near future, returning with more rhythm, more energy, and a touch of moonlit magic. Get ready for nights filled with music, laughter, and a whole lot of sparkle‑soaked fun.

# 🛍️🌈 **More Goodies Coming to My Stores**

I’ll be adding more treasures to my stores — creations I’ve made myself, gems I’ve collected around OpenSim, and a few lovingly modded pieces.

If it sparkles, delights, or adds a little joy to your world, it just might show up on the shelves.

# 💛✨ **A Gentle Note for Creators**

I gather items from all around OpenSim that I obtained full perm. If you spot something in my stores that belongs to you and you’d prefer it not be there, simply show me proof of ownership and I’ll remove it right away — easy, respectful, and drama‑free.

Neuer Bahnrekord im Zweierrodeln.
Liebe Scarlett, liebe Bri ich gratuliere euch zur Rekordfahrt! Ihr habt mit euren 53 Sekunden für die 910m lange Messtrecke der Bahn einen neuen Rekord aufgestellt. Eure Durchschnitsgeschwindigkeit beträgt sagenhafte 61,81kmh! So schnell ist noch nie jemand die 107m Höhendiffrenz über die 10 Kurven, Steilkurven und Kehren hinunter gejagt.

New track record in two-person luge!
Dear Scarlett and Bri, congratulations on your record-breaking run! With your time of 53 seconds for the 910m track, you've set a new record. Your average speed is an incredible 61.81 km/h! No one has ever hurtled down the 107m vertical drop over the 10 curves, banked turns, and switchbacks so fast.

Monster dump of 900GB in size:
IMPORTING A HUGE MYSQL/MARIADB DUMP FROM WINDOWS TO DEBIAN

This guide describes a proven and stable way to import a very large
MySQL/MariaDB dump (hundreds of GB to ~1 TB) from a Windows server into
MariaDB on a Debian server.

The procedure avoids double disk usage, survives network disconnects,
and prevents common errors like “server has gone away”.

----------------------------------------------------------
PREREQUISITES
----------------------------------------------------------
- Windows Server with dump.sql (e.g. D:.sql) - Debian
Server with enough free disk space - MariaDB installed and
running - Root access to MariaDB - Network access between
Windows and Debian

----------------------------------------------------------

1. WINDOWS: SHARE THE DUMP DIRECTORY

- The dump file is located on drive D:
- Share the drive (or directory) via Windows file sharing (SMB)
- Example: Share name: d Path: D:
- Grant read permissions to the Administrator account

----------------------------------------------------------
2. DEBIAN: MOUNT WINDOWS SHARE (CIFS/SMB)
----------------------------------------------------------
Install required tools: apt install -y cifs-utils screen

Create mount point: mkdir -p /mnt/windowsdump

Mount the Windows share: mount -t cifs //WINDOWS_IP/d
/mnt/windowsdump -o username=Administrator,vers=3.0

Verify: ls -lh /mnt/windowsdump You should see dump.sql.
----------------------------------------------------------

3. PREPARE MARIADB FOR LARGE IMPORTS

Create the target database: mysql -u root -p CREATE DATABASE griddb;
EXIT;

Create configuration file: nano
/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/99-bigimport.cnf

Content: [mysqld] max_allowed_packet=1G net_read_timeout=600
net_write_timeout=600 wait_timeout=28800 interactive_timeout=28800

Restart MariaDB: systemctl restart mariadb

Verify setting: mysql -u root -p -e “SHOW VARIABLES LIKE
‘max_allowed_packet’;”

----------------------------------------------------------
4. START THE IMPORT SAFELY USING SCREEN
----------------------------------------------------------
Start a screen session: screen -S sqlimport

Run the import: mysql –max_allowed_packet=1G -u root -p
griddb < /mnt/windowsdump/dump.sql

Detach screen (import keeps running): CTRL + A, then D
----------------------------------------------------------

5. MONITORING

Check if import is running: ps aux | grep mysql

You should see: mysql –max_allowed_packet=1G -u root -p griddb

CPU and disk usage are expected to be high.

----------------------------------------------------------
6. COMPLETION
----------------------------------------------------------
The import is finished when the mysql process disappears.

Unmount the Windows share: umount /mnt/windowsdump
----------------------------------------------------------

COMMON ERRORS AND SOLUTIONS

ERROR 2006 (server has gone away): - Increase max_allowed_packet -
Increase net_read_timeout / net_write_timeout

Packet bigger than max_allowed_packet: - Ensure both server and client
use 1G packet size

Import aborted due to network loss: - Always run the import inside
screen

-------
NOTES
-------

- Imports of this size may take 12–36 hours
- Silence during import is normal
- Do not interrupt the process
