SECURITY: How your grid CAN handle HG traveler assets.

Opensimulator documentation is available but how many of us fully utilize it?

I have a confession to make: I feel like a complete imbecile! I followed instructions on some klutz of a website which gave me instructions on running a standalone grid... GREAT... everything is up and running smoothly. Now lets build some worlds and secure my....

EGAD! Suddenly, it dawned on me, I have been using this software for years and I did not completely READ THE F⭐⭐⭐ING MANUAL!

As a refugee from several worlds, my hosting journey began with a standalone setup, where I was blissfully unaware of the complexities involved in the handling of assets from hypergrid travelers. As a former Kitely merchant, I am looking into ways people can interact with my creations without taking them. Out of ignorance, I took the wrong security measures.

One of the common misconceptions that led to limitations, such as banning prim or mesh attachments (to avoid cheating) at Dismayland, is the belief that the server must download and store visitor assets to display them properly. This is not entirely true. By applying specific precautions, you can prevent visitor assets from being stored or affecting your environment.

So if you do not want "SL-Lara" on your grid, or you do not want the rot from someone's full suitcase, you can rest in the comfort of knowing their assets will not infect your world if you take the following precautions...

Restricting the ability for hypergrid visitors to rez objects or execute scripts is crucial. By doing so, you can effectively ensure that their assets are not saved in your database, significantly reducing the risks of unwanted modifications or overwrites. This approach provides a balanced way to maintain control over your creations while still offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy your content visually.

By understanding how asset management works in OpenSim and applying the correct security measures, you can create an environment that respects the creative efforts of your residents while sharing the beauty of your virtual worlds with others.

This approach is not without caveats: when you travel to other worlds, you WILL appear as a blob while your viewer shows you a cached appearance. It will not stop copycats, the most determined rippers can easily grab what is seen, but without your code and hidden assets, those useless rips end up in stuff boxes, wasting valuable server resources. There is nothing I enjoy more than making clever obstacles in today's virtual 'Wild Wild West'!

TL;DR: When we share knowledge openly and freely, EVERYONE BENEFITS.

We're making progress! Today we finished the spike, which can drain 10, 25, or even 40 liters of vital fluid. I'll add the video of the spike once I've finished the Soul Reaper, which is the next step. I apologize for the delay, but between my day job, family life, and other commitments besides OpenSimulator, I haven't been able to find much time to dedicate to it. You can watch the video of what I've already accomplished, keeping in mind that the spike wasn't finished at the time of filming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQJIaxfVj_Q

Thank you for your patience.

Now check out this little beauty!! It's a lamp that is two lovers dancing in front of a heart shaped moon, ahh but there is more; it is also musical and plays some very sweet love songs. So, lights, camera, action and create your very own gorgeous love adventure with this beautiful lamp by yours truly! You will find it in the Holidays & Season's section of the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Well Christmas 2025 is over and now belongs to the ages, 2025 is over and belongs to the ages as we continue endlessly moving forward and growing, but not to despair about what is gone, no we celebrate so much in the year to come, especially those we LOVE the most - friends, family, and our significant other, and so with that in mind I have created some "VALENTINES" items for y'all! They are found in the Holidays & Seasons section of the Mall. Drop by and check them out. I'm putting the Valentines stuff out early because we who own the grid are moving this month and well we have a month's worth of packing and scheduling and address changes, utilities to turn off and utilities to turn on, I'm sure if you've done any moving you know how very busy it can be. And well, I didn't want to let you down and miss making Valentines stuff for y'all to enjoy. C'mon over and check it out and there will be more very soon. Blessings and much love, Lavia!

< An Apple is an Apple > Exhibition @ Pixie's Pixels

Hello OpenSim residents,

Since I enjoy experimenting with AI, I decided to exhibit the test images. Under the motto < An Apple is an Apple >, you can see the different results of various AI image generators, all using the same prompt.

hop://lfgrid.com:8002/Littlefield%20East/134/72/25

Take a moment to visit my gallery in Littlefield East, listen to the atmospheric sounds there, and find a moment of deep inner peace and serenity.

If you like, you are welcome to take the image textures with you; I have put them up for sale for 0LFG$.

The older images on the theme of < OpenSim Snapshots vs. AI > can now be found on the 1st floor.

I hope the direct teleport to the gallery building works, as someone locked the entrance doors and lost the key while I was away. So until help arrives and someone opens the doors again with the spare key, the only way to get into the building is by teleport.

I apologize for this inconvenience.

The co owner of the grid Metal Tango and her fiancé Gray Mouser, are in the process of purchasing a house. They have decided to take Mama here with them so that means that the owner and co owner of the Grid are moving so I'm canceling all grid events for January though I will be putting out new valentine's stuff and doing a couple side jobs for some friends. But we're going to be super busy once we have a closing date sooooo something has to give. I'm very excited about all of this because there will be a wedding coming up in October and I'm one happy Mama. I hope you all understand and share in my happiness. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Hi everyone! Today we start moving with friends. I found this woman's exercise videos a couple of years ago, and she is amazing. The movements are all low-impact and great for all of us over a certain age. This video focuses on the belly (core) and is done while sitting. Have a sturdy chair available. While it focuses on the core, she also gets the rest of your body moving.

We are starting with this video and will repeat doing these movements for the rest of January. We will add new ones in February. The idea, though, is to move, and we felt this was the perfect video to get us all started. You can move with us once a day or all three times and only do what is physically comfortable for you to do.

Our resolution this year is to get into better shape, and moving together will keep us accountable. It's too easy to say, "Oh, I'll do it tomorrow." We know how it is working on projects in-world and getting caught up in them, before you know it, you have been sitting for hours.

We are doing it 3x a day for 15 minutes. I'm sharing the video link so you can take a look at it, but we will be sharing our screen in the Daily Movement voice channel on the OpenSim Connect Discord Channel, that way, we can all do it together!

Please come in about 2 minutes before we start to get set upGridtimes 11am, - 2pm - 5pm Mon through Thursday 11am - 2pm Fridays

Dear community members, visitors, and customers,

recently, allegations have been made on external platforms regarding an individual associated with our broader environment. These claims originate outside of Noozara RP and outside our operational scope.

We would like to clarify the following:

Noozara RP and its associated shops stand for respectful collaboration, creative roleplay, and professional conduct across all OpenSim grids.
At this time, we are not aware of any verified evidence indicating rule violations, illegal activities, or misconduct connected to our project, our team, or our commercial activities.

External disputes, personal conflicts, or unsubstantiated accusations published elsewhere are not part of Noozara RP, nor do they reflect our values, standards, or way of working.

We remain committed to transparency, fair interaction, and maintaining a safe and trustworthy environment for roleplay participants, partners, and customers alike.

Should you have questions or concerns, we invite you to contact us directly and respectfully, rather than relying on third-party statements or public speculation.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Noozara RP – Management

@everyone 2026 has begun and its time to get to planning OSFest 2026 - yes we are starting early 😉 Tentative dates are October 9, 2026 thru October 24, 2026. Our primary goal is to have 65% events on other grids and 35% on the OSFest grid.

Choosing our theme is the next step so I created a ranked choice bot we can use to narrow choices without people "bandwagoning" or seeing spoilers. Each poll we vote on is limited to 5 choices so we will be running more than one ranked choice poll to help us rank suggested themes. When you vote, (ranking your choices), assign a number from 1 to 5 to each choice where the best choice is 5 and the worst choice is 1. So far we have the following suggestions:

Into the Future
Into the Past
Alternate Timelines
Change the World
Ancient Myths
Nautical
Ships (Air, Land, and Sea)
Architecture
Science Fiction
Futuristic Living
Fantasy
Supernatural
Mysteries and Monsters
Color (Single color per exhibit)
Physically based rendering (PBR)

Do we want to have more than one theme? Are there any more suggestions before I create the polls in the polling-channel?

2026: Learn to Create—Because Ideas Deserve to Exist

This piece began as a drawing. Lines on a screen. Nothing fancy—until those lines were extruded, shaped, and turned into something real. That moment never gets old.

I create jewelry by turning drawings into dimensional forms, and I share the how through tutorials because creation shouldn’t be a mystery reserved for a few. If you can imagine it, you can learn to build it.

My journey started in OpenSim, creating virtual jewelry people could wear in-world before ever buying it in real life. That experiment turned into something bigger: a virtual jewelry store that’s open 24/7, showcasing years of designs, iterations, failures, breakthroughs, and finished pieces. It’s a living archive of creative growth.

Here’s the truth:
There is nothing quite like seeing an idea move from your mind, to a sketch, to a finished object you can hold—or wear. That spark when it finally clicks? That’s the reward.

So for 2026, my message to the community is simple:

Learn something new

Make something with your hands (digital or physical—both count)

Share what you learn

Inspire the next creator behind you

You don’t need permission to create. You just need curiosity and the willingness to try.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could make that,”—this is your year. Start drawing. Start modeling. Start learning.

Ideas are patient. They’ll wait.
But the joy comes when you finally bring them to life. 🌹

i'm back from the holiday rush and i started working on my Japanese Expansion of VivoSim. I have redesigned the scripts in the Kurumi Tree (walnut) to provide both walnuts and the timber byproducts!

Kurumi Tree (SF Kurumi)
VivoSim Japanese Expansion

🌰 Primary Use
SF Kurumi (Walnuts) are harvested once per growth cycle and may be used in:

Savory dishes, Sweets and desserts, Sauces and pastes, Traditional medicines (such as Kurumi Aburagusuri for pain relief) & Offerings and gifts to Temples

🌿 Natural By-Products
As the tree grows, it also produces secondary materials that reflect real orchard behavior: SF Ha – Leaves, SF Shijo – Twigs, SF Eda – Branches, SF Ki – Wood, SF Maki – Firewood

🌳 Design Philosophy
The Kurumi Tree is a dual-output orchard tree, not a timber source, but does deliver wood from time to time

⏳ Growth & Care
Growth occurs over a multi-day seasonal cycle
Water is required throughout the cycle
Neglecting water will pause progress
This tree is designed to be checked periodically, not constantly
Automation options may be enabled at the owner’s discretion, but manual care is encouraged for immersion.


🧩 Japanese Ingredient Set
To support Japanese recipes and naming conventions, the following replacements are used: SF Kurumi → Walnuts

All names align with Japanese-themed recipes and future expansion content.

🛠️ Technical Notes (for Advanced Users)
This tree includes internal configuration and scripting changes to support Japanese ingredients and orchard behavior. These changes are already applied and require no modification for normal use.

🌸 Thank you for supporting the VivoSim Japanese Expansion.
