SAMSARA RETURNS HOME

An Original Creation by Yana Dakota

A new chapter begins...

Some places are more than just landscapes. They carry memories, creativity, peaceful moments and a spirit that remains, no matter how much time passes.

Today, I am delighted to announce that "Samsara has returned to Virtual Worlds Zone", once again under the care and creative direction of its original creator and rightful owner,"Yana Dakota".

Originally created in 2023, Samsara was designed as a sanctuary inspired by the timeless beauty of Japanese and Tibetan traditions. A world where nature, spirituality, architecture and tranquility come together in harmony.

Throughout its journey, Samsara has been fortunate to have people who appreciated its beauty and unique atmosphere. I would also like to acknowledge Faith with warmth and respect for her part in Samsara's story.

Now, as Samsara begins this new chapter, its original vision will continue to be preserved, cared for and lovingly developed.

"THE EXHIBITION "THE WALK FOR PEACE" REMAINS OPEN"

Visitors will be pleased to know that the Exhibition "Walk for Peace" is still there and remains available to explore and enjoy.

"A NEW JOURNEY ON THE WATER"

One of Samsara's most charming experiences, the scenic boat tour, is currently undergoing restoration and improvements.

We are developing a new waypoint navigation HUD to give the boat a much more natural and graceful journey through Samsara's waterways.

Instead of making abrupt turns, the improved navigation system is being designed to guide the boat through beautifully flowing curves, allowing it to glide gently and steadily across the water.

Imagine sitting back, relaxing and watching the landscape slowly unfold around you as the boat follows the winding waterways with smooth, elegant movements.

That is the experience we are working toward.

The boat tour is not quite ready yet, but the improvements are already underway, and we look forward to welcoming visitors aboard again.

"SAMSARA IS HOME"

Samsara has never been about simply building a beautiful region. It has always been about creating an atmosphere, a place to breathe, wander, reflect and simply enjoy being present.

Old friends and new visitors alike are warmly invited to rediscover its peaceful surroundings.

Some journeys bring us to new places.

Others bring us back to where we belong.

"Welcome back to Samsara."

Based off of Cool VL, I have made a Windows (Linux to follow) viewer, this impliments many bug fixes, and adds in features from various other viewers, the aim is at stability and bug fixing while providing what I see as the priority features, any issues with it let me know and I will work on fixing them https://mega.nz/file/3xgnEQJR#VLQDqPBM0RL2Tq3gyfiDO343ZCBm...

I am doing some important updates to the server, looks like server is offline until it finishes the updates and restarts itself. all else fails my guy from the company i rent from can restart it.

In other news, I am making very good progress with Jommla 4 and jopensim. I have had alot of help from chat gpt and codex. great part is, its now works on php8 with joomla 4. I will have my tech guy test the website out with me to make sure it is good to go.

Aside from jopensim, there are some pages and plugins that we need ot enable and put in there places. And new ones we need to find since creators didn't create versions for 4

I have been up all night working on this, i now know how fred feels lol. Thank you fred for all you do.

Just updated the EUROPA multi destinations Teleporter Board - the previous one was too bright, sometimes, depending on my timezoned EEP sky one couldnt see at all the destination. Also, 18 scripts are now just 1. And for some SIMs I rezzed more than 1 of these, to entice visitors to go to other regions as well.

🚨DreamGrid Critical Security Update — Update Now! 🚨

DreamGrid by Outworldz — The most trusted grid is your own.

A serious PHP 8 security vulnerability has prompted an urgent security update world-wide. DreamGrid now includes the latest PHP 8 security fixes, along with multiple layers of protection designed to keep your OpenSimulator grid safer from unauthorized modifications and software tampering.

🔒 DreamGrid Security Features

PHP 8 Security Updates — Updated PHP 8 components with the latest security fixes to address known vulnerabilities.

SHA-256 DLL Integrity Verification — DreamGrid checks DLL files against trusted SHA hashes and rejects unauthorized or modified DLLs, helping prevent malicious code injection through file replacement.

ZIP SHA Verification — Downloaded ZIP archives undergo SHA integrity checks to detect corrupted or tampered files.

Microsoft Authenticode Digital Signing — Digitally signed software verifies publisher identity and detects unauthorized modifications.

TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 Encryption — Modern encrypted communications help protect data transmitted between systems.

Additional Security Hardening — Multiple security checks work together to protect your DreamGrid installation.

⚠️ PHP 7 Users: It's Time to Upgrade!

A few people still use PHP7 for Joomla V3. V3 and PHP 7 has reached end of life and no longer receives official security updates. Continuing to use PHP 7 exposes your grid to vulnerabilities that may never be patched.

When you start DreamGrid, you may be prompted to upgrade from PHP 7 to PHP 8.

Please select YES! Here's what happens:

YES — Upgrade to PHP 8: DreamGrid switches to PHP 8, removes your old PHP 7 folder, and hides the obsolete PHP 7/8 selection buttons.

NO — Keep PHP 7 temporarily: Your existing PHP 7 installation remains available, but it does not receive the latest PHP 8 security protections.

Test Joomla compatibility: If you're concerned about compatibility, test Joomla with PHP 8 first. Once everything works, restart DreamGrid and select YES to complete the upgrade.

🛡️ Why This Security Update Matters

PHP is one of the world's most widely used server-side programming languages. Security vulnerabilities in PHP can affect websites, content management systems, hosting platforms, and applications built on top of it.

That includes PHP-based applications such as WordPress and Joomla, as well as hosting environments using tools such as cPanel.

DreamGrid's updated PHP 8 environment includes security fixes unavailable to PHP 7 users.

Keeping DreamGrid updated is one of the simplest ways to reduce your exposure to known security vulnerabilities.

🚀 Protect Your Grid — Update DreamGrid Today!

Whether you're hosting a private OpenSimulator world, a public virtual grid, or a large multi-region environment, DreamGrid combines ease of use with important security protections.
