„Athena“ – Wenn Stil keine Frage, sondern eine Ansage ist.

Drei Frauen, ein Blick, und plötzlich wird aus Säulenhalle Catwalk.

Gold glitzert, Stoffe flüstern, und irgendwo hört man Selbstvertrauen leise lachen.
Wer hier vorbeigeht, bleibt stehen – nicht aus Neugier, sondern aus Respekt.

BK – weil Göttinnen keine Ausreden brauchen.

more or less a test grid - made in the night before my birthday...
Die Karte ist von Chat GPT... lobt mich in den höchsten Tönen... lol, kann man nicht immer ernst nehmen... ich werde vielleicht später ein bisschen Musik spielen...

🚨 **The Hypergrid Hunt is Coming!** 🚨

🗓 **Launch Date:** **November 15, 2026**

That gives Grid Owners and Region Owners **more than three months** to get everything ready!

🎁 **Hypergrid Hunt Kits** will be available beginning **August 1, 2026**, and will include everything you need to participate.

🎥 **Click the link below to watch the introduction video** and get a first look at what's coming!

https://youtu.be/1TAEGikbFZ0?si=LdpPcuUvgFdt8yWJ

This is your chance to showcase your region, encourage exploration across the Hypergrid, and be part of a fun, community-wide adventure.

✨ **More details, instructions, and participation information will be announced soon. Stay tuned!**

Oar creation kiosk at Holoneon. We wrote an Oar archive server that's much faster than the one built into opensimulator region server, without torching the processor cores. an average region with a few buildings and furniture takes about 10 seconds to create. loaded region takes maybe 10 minutes or so. The software queues up jobs and runs two at a time if needed. Some of the speed gained is due to switching to RFC 8878 compression in our custom assetd server instead of using legacy gzip from the 90's RFC 8878 is used in OpenZFS and is much more performant than gz. To create an oar touch the kiosk in welcome and you will see a list of all your regions with links to create, download and delete oar files. This is still beta so you should test out restore on a different grid/region and let me know if you have any issues.

18 Basket Frisby Golf, Game Room, Wild Animal Park. Laid out like a real golf course and includes practice range and basket.

Game Room has expanded with 6 different games added.

Anyone is welcome to come have fun. You must join our golf group to play frisby golf. You will receive a free invite on your first visit or you can use the group joiner located in front of the golf shop. Complimentary frisbies are available in the shop. We now have a scoring HUD and a tournament board. Frisby and HUD come in a folder when you purchase the free frisby.

Adjacent to our large boating area.

As of today, I have closed all of my Sims; to enter them, you must go through THE JUNCTION MALL. The reason being I have been working hard on my Junction 2 to only sit and watch what happened on Junction 2 yesterday after I opened it. So instead of banning grids when 1 person has caused the damage, I will remove the person of fault, and believe me, I know all about making alts and other grids; I know all about it. But this is my way. So any sim of mine you like to enter, you will all land here and go through the doors. Have a sweet day.

I have defined 12 different exhibition series... structure sometimes is necessary... This will be a teleporter to the galleries... can be put anywhere, also on other grids to reach the different houses with the pictures... is some work to program, but once done is a very important object that works as long as you dont rename the region or move the oar.

A REQUEST, not a plea for: Opensimulator to unfreeze XEngine development. I refuse Microsoft; My servers run Linux. I remember the M$ three E's: Embrace, Extend, Extinguish; used to crush rivals. I truly believe they are still playing 'the long game' and nobody can convince me otherwise. I have regions I've been building for years that YEngine's stricter, ternary-breaking syntax will damage. I understand the pitch: YEngine tracks LSL spec syntax more closely, which helps people port scripts over from Second Life. Fine reasoning for new content. Not much comfort for those of us with years of working state built on the assumptions the 'proven and tested' XEngine let us make, assumptions the 0.9.3.0 release now discards completely, since XEngine is dropped there entirely, along with Mono support in favor of .NET 8. My NEXT donation comes when I see some love for the MONO branch. I am not rich but I am not talking petty cash either. Presently, I'm documenting the journey of coding chaos in a world that's ever-adapting. It would be pleasing to report that backward compatibility matters to somebody in the development pipeline. The correct eyes will accept or reject: I personally benefit from this either way. Use that as you will. Peace & Love.

Skintight BoM clothing has now moved! You can find it at Bodies & Clothing, go to "BoM clothes" via the teleporters. BoM lingerie, stockings, tops, body oil, pants and much more to combine with mesh clothing or wear on its own. Guaranteed no clipping, fits any BoM enabled mesh body.

Come join multi genre DJ Ting, Ting has 50 years of experience, he plays tunes we all like to hear.

✨ BK – Schmuck, der Charakter zeigt ✨

Feine Materialien, edle Akzente und eine klare Designsprache verbinden sich zu einem Ausdruck von Stil und Persönlichkeit.

Jedes Stück steht für Eleganz, für Stärke und für die Kunst, sich selbst zu zeigen – ohne laut zu sein. Gold, Perlen und markante Details formen eine Linie, die modern wirkt und dennoch zeitlos bleibt.

BK bedeutet Luxus, der spürbar ist. Design, das berührt. Schmuck, der getragen wird, weil er etwas sagt.

✨ BK-Mode – Wo Schmuck zur Kunst wird

In der Welt von BK-Mode verschmelzen Eleganz und Ausdruck zu einem sinnlichen Erlebnis. Jedes Schmuckstück erzählt seine eigene Geschichte – von der Tiefe des königlichen Blaus über die Lebendigkeit des Smaragds bis hin zum funkelnden Spiel der Farben, das die Persönlichkeit seiner Trägerin unterstreicht.

Ob zarte Halsketten, kraftvolle Armbänder oder verführerische Details – BK-Mode ist mehr als Schmuck. Es ist ein Ausdruck von Selbstbewusstsein, Leidenschaft und unverwechselbarer Schönheit.

BK-Mode – Trage, was dich einzigartig macht.

I posted this to see if anyone can tell me why I'm repeatedly getting this alert since I visited the region, even when I never requested that this grid be added to my grid manager. I was getting an alert from my anti-virus software about an attempt to contact this domain. Those alerts stopped after I added the domain to my block list. However, even after clearing the viewer cache, I get this alert from Firestorm every time I log in or visit another region.

What I've found out so far. "This is a classic case of a viewer (Firestorm) holding onto a "ghost" entry in its internal routing history or cache, even after you've blocked the domain at the network level (Norton). Norton stopping the connection is good security, but it doesn't tell Firestorm to forget the grid entirely. Firestorm is likely trying to "ping" or validate a destination it thinks you want to visit or has visited recently."

It's been suggested that the entry is likely now hard-coded in the operating system Firestorm config file. I'm looking into that, even when I have to wonder how in the heck that happened.

BTW, all I did at the region is use the TP board...

Celestial Vine Arm Cuff
Inspired by moonlit gardens and flowing vines, this upper arm cuff is designed to add a touch of elegance to fantasy, historical, and everyday avatars alike. The intricate scrollwork and natural iridescence make it equally at home with an evening gown, an elven ensemble, or an Egyptian-inspired look.
