Drei Outfits, die nicht laut werden müssen, um Wirkung zu zeigen. Sie spielen mit Gegensätzen: klare Linien, sinnliche Stoffe und zarte Schleifen, die mehr andeuten als verbergen. Jeder Look trägt eine eigene Spannung in sich – mal unschuldig, mal verführerisch, mal selbstbewusst verspielt. Gemeinsam erzeugen sie eine Atmosphäre, in der Eleganz und Erotik Hand in Hand gehen. BK-Legacy zeigt hier nicht Mode, sondern Momente, in denen ein Avatar nicht nur gesehen wird, sondern hängen bleibt.
Springsteens musikalische Reaktion auf gesellschaftliche Erschütterungen
Bruce Springsteen hat erneut seine Rolle als Chronist des amerikanischen Zeitgeschehens eingenommen. Inmitten der tiefgreifenden sozialen Unruhen und der emotionalen Aufarbeitung der tragischen Vorfälle in Minneapolis hat der Musiker ein neues Werk geschaffen. Das Stück greift die kollektive Trauer und den Zorn auf, die durch die Gewaltakte und die daraus resultierenden Debatten über systemische Ungerechtigkeit ausgelöst wurden.

Last night, the HG Safari group, founded by Thirza Ember and active in Opensim for more than ten years, visited the Metaverse Museum in large numbers.
It was a wonderful evening, during which Roberto Presicci, interim co-curator of the Metaverse Museum, and I answered questions and curiosities from those present, almost all of whom were English-speaking. We used a translator to communicate with them: of course, some of the dynamics and immediacy of verbal conversation was lost, but despite this, everything went very well.
We arrived at the museum's beautiful observation deck, then moved on to the In Between exhibition and then to the exhibition rooms, visiting some of the works in the collection.
Guests from outside Grid were particularly impressed by the vastness of the museum and the variety of works on display.
I would like to thank everyone who attended, namely the friends and artists of MdM, with special thanks to Thirza Ember and her group for their interest and constant attention to the Metaverse Museum, once again demonstrating their sensitivity and curiosity towards artistic and cultural research in the Metaverse

Drei Männer, drei Missionen – und Gianni meistert sie alle mit Stil, Charme und einem Hauch Größenwahn:
👨🍳 Gianni, der Gourmet-Gigant
Mit dem Kochlöffel in der einen und dem Sixpack in der anderen Hand zaubert er nicht nur Pasta, sondern auch Herzklopfen. Sein Geheimrezept? Ein Schuss Testosteron, eine Prise Tattoo und ein Lächeln, das selbst Tiefkühlpizza zum Schmelzen bringt.
🚀 Gianni, der galaktische Gentleman
NASA ruft – und Gianni hebt ab. In seinem Raumanzug sieht er aus wie der erste Mann auf dem Mond, der gleichzeitig ein Modelvertrag bei BK-Mode unterschrieben hat. Houston, wir haben kein Problem – wir haben Gianni.
📦 Gianni, der sportliche Paket-Prinz
Ob Jogginghose oder Jetpack – Gianni liefert. Mit Maske, Muckis und einem Karton voller Charisma sprintet er durch die Modegalaxie. Wer sagt, dass man beim Shoppen nicht ins Schwitzen kommt?
BK-Mode bringt Outfits mit Augenzwinkern und Charakter – für alle, die mehr wollen als nur Stoff am Körper. Gianni zeigt: Mode kann alles. Außer langweilig sein.

Alina Trafalgar did a terrific job resizing this Barbie Corvette to fit my 5.3 foot frame. Check out her dealership. If Alina's in world, say hi and she can work with you to be sure your dream car drives well. :)
since osw allows only 1 image per post, here is my final post about the Luna Lunaria charities. A very noble cause, and apparently Luna's favorite charity. Giving children a better chance at growing into healthy adults is something I am certain most of us can agree is a very noble and thoughtful, and heartwarming cause.
In a way, we all stood together, and gave what we could, as our way of showing just how much Luna inspired us. I will forever treasure her builds and my numerous wonderful memories and interactions with her, as I am certain we all will. Let this not be a goodbye, but rather, a "see you soon!" in so many ways...when we look at her builds or frequent a party or event set within one of her builds...., each time we are building or working with pbr or any of the many things that remind us of Luna, or simply looking up at the many stars in the night sky, especially in the Orion constellation. Let us be kind to one another, inspire one another, and drive one another to be creative, to inspire, to continue to make our marks of originality on OpenSim that may further differentiate us from other games and platforms! Be well, OpenSim...and keep on shining!

Alter Bridge - Phönix aus der Asche von Creed
Die Geschichte von Alter Bridge beginnt nicht mit einem vorsichtigen Kennenlernen, sondern mit einem radikalen Neuanfang. Im Jahr 2004 befand sich die Rockwelt im Umbruch, als eine der kommerziell erfolgreichsten Bands der späten Neunziger, Creed, aufgrund interner Spannungen zerbrach.

Liebe Clubtänzer und Musikzuhörer,
am Dienstag den 27. Januar ab 20:00 Uhr öffnet die Musikalische Rumpelkiste ihren Deckel um wieder einmal eine "wilde Mischung" in die Ohren zu pusten: Musik ohne Thema - und wünschen könnt Ihr auch. Wenn ich das im Archiv habe was Ihr wünscht kommt es aus der Rumpelkiste frisch in den Aether.
Bis morgen - wir freuen uns auf Euch alle.
P.S. Vormusik wieder ab 19:30
Dear club dancers and music lovers,
On Tuesday, January 27th, starting at 8:00 PM, the Musical Junk Box opens its lid once again to blast a "wild mix" into your ears: music without a theme – and you can even make requests. If I have what you're looking for in the archives, it will be freshly played from the Junk Box into the airwaves.
See you tomorrow – we're looking forward to seeing you all.
P.S. Pre-show music starts again at 7:30 PM.

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

so i am working on the Japanese expansion for VivoSim and have changed some information.
Current Gardens & Fields:
(removed and moved plants, more to come.
Imo Hatake (tubers)
Kokumotsu (grains)
Konsai (root vegetables)
Soryo (fodder)
Yasai (vegetable).
Habu (herbs)
I will be changing the growth times, stats (for the HUD) and redoing the containers in Japanese style.
I'm testing them now. I have changed the "gardens" and fields to be more specific.
Trees will take a bit longer since there are more of them, but I also have trees that give wood (and other byproducts) as well as fruits/nuts
It has been a lot of work, but i am very happy with the outcomes.
I am hoping to have most of the gardens done this week.
all in all, i am looking at 118 "new" plants/trees.

I have a project coming out for public beta test soon and I thought that now would probably be a good time to share 10 RULES of TECH SUPPORT!
MY PERSONAL TECH SUPPORT RULES ANYWAY.
(Please Read Before Speaking)
Rule one: the computer did exactly what you told it to do, not what you meant. It is not psychic. It is not creative. It is aggressively literal and has no emotional attachments to you..
Rule two: the documentation exists for a reason. Skipping it and asking for help is like ignoring the map, driving into a lake, and calling to complain about the water.
Rule three: “It doesn’t work” is not useful information. That is a feeling. Feelings are valid. They are not diagnostic.
Rule four: when I am explaining something, this is not a discussion. This is the part where you stop talking and listen. Questions are welcome after the explanation, not during the sentence you interrupted.
Rule five: something changed. It always does. The system did not wake up this morning and choose chaos. You, time, or physics touched it. Figure out which.
Rule six: support cannot fix what you refuse to describe. If you changed something “small” and didn’t mention it, congratulations—you have just doubled the troubleshooting time.
Rule seven: urgency does not make you right. Saying “this is critical” does not rewrite reality; it just raises everyone’s blood pressure.
Rule eight: software does not include common sense. That must be provided by the user. If a warning says “don’t do this” and you do it anyway, the outcome is not mysterious.
Rule nine: if you ignore instructions, you own the result. This is not punishment. This is cause and effect.
Rule ten: If the source code tells you not to do something, there is a valid reason. Disobey at your own peril.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Please RTFM again.
