NOW LIVE !!!
Spend Sunday afternoon @Alternate Metaverse! Join us at AMV Events on Sundays, and become enchanted by KHIRON AMETZA, a seasoned performer who has been singing in virtual worlds for a dozen years! Khiron is Fun & Friendly and WOW what a voice! Her provocative singing is the result of a lifetime of professional musicianship in her real world in Brazil. Contemporary Ballads, 70's & 80's, 90's, 00's, Rock, Disco, and more. You'll recognize famous covers and fun danceable tunes!

One of my favorite things to do in Opensim: watching an artist at work. It can be an amazing build or region, a DJ mixing up an incredible set, someone writing a script I didn't think was possible to create.. I love it. All of it.

John McLaughlin - Die Anfänge einer musikalischen Naturgewalt

Am 4. Januar 1942 wurde John McLaughlin in South Yorkshire, England, in eine Welt hineingeboren, die kurz vor einem gewaltigen kulturellen Umbruch stand. Er war das jüngste von fünf Kindern. Sein Vater war als Ingenieur tätig, während seine Mutter als Geigerin die musikalische Ader in die Familie brachte. Diese frühe Prägung durch klassische Musik legte den Grundstein für sein tiefes Verständnis von Struktur und Harmonie. Doch wie so viele junge Menschen seiner Generation in den 1950er Jahren, wurde er von der rohen Energie des Blues und dem rhythmischen Drive des Swing mitgerissen.

The Devil And The Almighty Blues

In der norwegischen Hauptstadt Oslo formierte sich vor über einem Jahrzehnt eine musikalische Vereinigung,
die den Blues nicht nur spielen, sondern ihn förmlich sezieren und neu zusammensetzen wollte.
The Devil and the Almighty Blues entstanden aus dem Wunsch heraus, die tiefe Melancholie und die rohe Energie
des traditionellen Delta-Blues mit der Wucht des modernen Stoner-Rock und dem Geist der 70er Jahre zu verheiraten.
Es war eine bewusste Abkehr von der polierten, technischen Perfektion moderner Produktionen. ...

@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?

Felice Anno Nuovo 2026!

¡Feliz Año Nuevo 2026!

Para el Año Nuevo, les deseo mucha salud, felicidad y mucha energía para crear cosas nuevas. Y, por supuesto, ¡espero que se diviertan mucho en OpenSim!

working on speeding up FSAssetService, i noticed in the loop it's got hard-coded 1 second delay per asset. So on a simple thing with 30 assets that's an extra 30 second of nada nothing. I added config option in Robust.HG.ini under

[AssetService]
WriteSleepMs = 10

so that's 10ms or .01 seconds instead of 1000ms but you can adjust in the config how you like it. in the Writer() function i changed Thread.Sleep(1000); to Thread.Sleep(m_WriteSleepMs); (which pulls value from config, defaults to 1000 if dne)

I also moved the spool directory to RAM disk where it determines the hash, and it checks the RAM disk for existing file instead of hitting the drive. Then it does the actual movement from spool to data directory in a background thread without blocking. So far I'm seeing simple remote objects imported over HG taking about 20 seconds that took about 3 minutes originally. Anyway if you want to test it out there's just one file change. https://codeberg.org/fionasweet/FSAssetService
let me know . If I didn't break anything maybe i'll submit a PR upstream.
