Good morning OpenSimmers! It's Memorial Day Weekend in the States. Please remember to honor our fallen soldiers and thank them for the sacrifice they made for us to have the freedoms we enjoy here everyday! Here's wishing y'all a happy & safe weekend.

We imported an oar from another grid during a transfer and it had a botched bowling alley in it. Didn't realize it was replicating "physical" bowling pins all over the grid. lol. it got to the point where nobody could move like walking in molasses rubber bands. So I made this module to put physics to sleep when nobody is around. :) so we spent all day hunting down every last bowling pin and destroying it, which was tricking because they weren't showing up in area search and many of them were in 0,0,0 corners of regions all over the grid so we had to excavate and go deep-sea diving to find them. So now the grid is running smooth and no crashes. yay. The module is here maybe it's useful. it puts physical prims to sleep if nobody is on the region so it reduces the work of the physics engine. If someone drops by it magically wakes up all the physical prims. https://opensimworld.com/post/131135

Hello all flamsiefans!
I hate to break the news, but.....
we needed yet another upgrade;
I found that a sim restart, would return a dead flamsieflocky....
so, now, I've added an autostart function that makes the bunch come alive all by itself....imagine me, in a few months,,,,with some 10 diff kinda flocksies doing....NOT their thing...
All is set in zzhop, feel free to pick up your autoflamsie anytime!
Have fun,
Peter ☺

Good morning!

For those that are brand new, if you want some male and female avies, we have a view premade / pre-dressed ones at grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:VWEC Sandbox (nice ones) and some more conservative clothing/accessories, but good stuff you can mix and match. It gets you started until you can get into the groove of going shopping.

Here are some simple tutorials, including intergrid navigation, hypergrid navigation, optimizing your Viewer (but that one is a bit old), an unfinished glossary and some FAQs. Enjoy!

Testing UTF-8 First/Last name and profiles. I've made changes on the server to enable this functionality on Holoneon Grid. Probably doesn't work to TP off-grid, but it's a first test. Unfortunately the viewers are still seemingly stuck in the year 2003 and don't allow UTF8 in FirstName/LastName login fields, but it's a simple patch and rebuild to allow PrintableUTF8NoSpace instead of boring ASCII :) I think a good number of users or potential users are in countries that aren't limited to English characters. :)

Währen in Moskau die Ehrenlegion der "Arschficker von Buschta" an dem mit internationalen Haftbefehl gesuchter Verbrecher vorbeizogen, begeht die Ukraine stattdessen den "Europatag".
Selenskyj: "Heute ist der Europatag".
Die Ukraine begehe diesen Tag in dem vollen Bewusstsein, dass sie bereits ein untrennbarer Teil der europäischen Familie ist.
Lasst uns der Ukraine gratulieren zu ihrem hartnäckigen erfolgreichen Wiederstand gegen die Russischen Kriegsverbrecher, und sie in Europa Willkommen heißen.

While in Moscow the "Legion of Honor of the 'Ass-fuckers of Bushta'" marched past a criminal wanted under an international arrest warrant, Ukraine, by contrast, is observing "Europe Day."
Selenskyj: "Today is Europe Day." Ukraine observes this day with the full awareness that it is already an inseparable part of the European family.
Let us congratulate Ukraine on its tenacious and successful resistance against the Russian war criminals, and welcome it into Europe.

New Feature added. Create an account in Firestorm. Enter desired First Name and Last Name in Firestorm login at bottom of your screen, then desired password in password field. If the account already exists it will attempt to log you in. If the account does not exist it will magically create a new account for you and log you in.

need to add hg.holoneon.com:80 to grid manager (Control + p) in viewer, then find OpenSim tab near bottom.

supposedly a hop link should add it, maybe you can try.
hop:///app/gridmanager/addgrid/hg.holoneon.com:80

Person told me today that it's weird. That I should just have account creation like Second Life. Thanks for the suggestion, you gonna open up your pocket book lady? :) There's plenty of grids out there, so have fun!

https://maze.bz/OARConv.html is where you can get my new FIRESTORM UPLOAD BYPASSER. You must have access to a console to upload the oar you create. It makes the physics block for you, it chunks the mesh. I have brought in meshes with as many as 3 million verts...up to 20 at a time so far. Largest oar was 4 gigs. Break it I dare you. See the picture or if you want to see the meshes go here hop://maze.bz:7002/Mesh%20Museum/128/128/26 which is a work in progress. If you have a slow machine well..grab a meal while you wait but here are some pictures.

The region is back open for your shopping! I hope you enjoy the Pandora build, if you run into issues please let me know and don't mind me if you see me I am building behind the scenes and adding New things. Come On Down!

testing Avatar Dehydration/Rehydration. We modified the teleporter code to speed up TPs especially cross-continental. should be live this evening if all goes well. The process is user teleports - > appears dehydrated and sent to IPFS -> minimal av appears on destination region -> appearance rehydrated -> yay

This is where techno stops being a loop…
and becomes a living system.

Real instruments.
Real chaos.
Real connection.

No templates. No limits.
Just evolution.

We don’t broadcast sound…
we broadcast moments.

💋 Athena – wenn Anziehen fast schon Schummeln ist

Die neuen Athena‑Dessous spielen nicht „verführerisch“ – sie sind es.
Knapp, mutig und eindeutig nichts für schüchterne Kleiderbügel.
Wer sie trägt, braucht keine großen Worte.
Der Look erledigt das Reden.

The beacon is placed now at Kitely. You will see the region offline, but when you hop to the grid you will be able to visit. Thats because at Kitely the region starts when people are visiting. So Welcome to Elin Design!!!

EDIT: Reading the comments, I see the need to redo the post. Version 2.0

Name The OSW Users You Most Respect
Who can you recommend as someone you think should be listened to and taken seriously? In other words, who has earned your respect? Try to think of not only those friends who share your views on things, but also those people who do not. (But please! Don't say which person is which, because Yikes!)

*The topic here is respect. The tone of all comments should, of course, be respectful as well. I'm not asking for the general opinions of the relative merits of those named. If you agree or disagree with someone's choice, please keep your opinion private. Thanks for respecting the guidelines.

*I wish it weren't necessary to say, but nobody needs to know, and likely doesn't care, that you don't like the post. Please, just move on. I'll respect you all the more for it. Thanks!

*Just to be clear, this is not a popularity contest. We are not voting people up or down. You might agree or disagree with the choice others make. Feel as great as you like about how your judgement is better than anyone's, but, really, we don't need to know.

I'm working on a project and looking for people to work with on it. But I think this exercise could be helpful to the OSW community at large in some way.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

The Political CHAOS ramps up at Dismayland. Every Morning around 8AM (UTC -5 New York Time) I am usually online CODING SOME CHAOS, anyone who wants to hang out and CODE is welcome. I will start making use of the HAPPY HOUR feature...

You Can't Have A Poll Without Being Political
My Pol. Sci. professor said "politics happen whenever two people get together". That makes avoiding politics difficult. However, politics is more generally associated with making decisions in a group. And because of their role in elections and government decision-making, polls are a major part of the political landscape. An election itself is a poll (the only important one say some). Before and after elections, polls are a critical tool for gauging the "will of the people" beyond what simple election results can show. Polls are, by their nature, political.

A poll on OSW says that the will of the people here is that this is not a place for politics. But if you don't want politics on OSW, you lose just by voting.

Not that it matters. Polling results in OWS are not enforceable and will not stop political posts. Want to do something effective? Block people.

Everyone else is invited to an extended stay in the BDSM by MAGA region, where the beatings will continue until the complaining stops.
