It is with profound sadness that we have to announce the passing of our beloved Ashton "Numa" Nobilis. Ashton was not only the lead designer and one of the owners of Littlefield Grid, but he was one of the early developers of Opensimulator.
There are no words to describe the pain I feel at the loss of one of my best friends in the world and a man I called brother. We will remember him always. He was a wonderful and brilliant man, and he will be sorely missed.

We will be holding a memorial service for him at Stonehaven Island later this week with a date to be determined.

God bless you Ashton, I love you my brother, and I will miss you dearly.

Es ist das Jahr 1997 in der rauen Industriekulisse von Detroit, Michigan. In einer Zeit, in der die Musikwelt von poliertem Pop und überproduzierten Nu-Metal-Klängen dominiert wird, geschieht etwas Unerwartetes in einer kleinen Garage.

In the mythical world of Fantasia, the beauty between Nature and humankind is often intermingled in the form of dryads and tree elves, beings who embody the delicate harmony between root and soul. Dryads, bound to ancient trunks and whispering groves, carry an unmistakably human grace in their expressions and emotions, while tree elves move with the fluid stillness of wind through leaves. Together, they represent a living bridge between two worlds—one of soil and sap, the other of thought and longing. In their presence, the forest does not feel separate from humanity but rather like an extension of it, as though every heartbeat echoes the rhythm of rustling branches overhead.

This mingling of forms is most visible at twilight, when tree elves walk along moss-covered paths and dryads emerge from the bark of silver birches, their fingers brushing the hands of human wanderers without fear. In Fantasia, such encounters are not rare legends but quiet truths: humans who listen closely begin to understand the language of leaves, while dryads and tree elves learn compassion, curiosity, and hope from humankind. The result is a shared beauty—neither wholly wild nor wholly civilized—where laughter sounds like birdsong and wisdom grows as steadily as the trees themselves.

MazebzOS_AVX2-1-0-0-260540551 important for certificates
So I did this
From 2026-02-19 to now: added capped mesh upload fee retries and user-facing logging for missing uploader URLs; refreshed CA handling to download/pin curl’s bundle at build/runtime; kept KDU off and use openjpeg due to licensing/package gaps. Certs for firestorm seem to be locked into 2024!

I also made it retain home in the viewer rather than need the url from the simulator. Hoping to fix the issue where we can't get home.

I made a lightweight region module that exposes an HTTP endpoint on each region server returning full texture data for any prim by UUID. Returns diffuse, normal, and specular map UUIDs per face as JSON, suitable for consumption by PHP, Python, or any HTTP client.

Does not return PBR textures but that's just a bit of extra work if you want those in the JSON array.

example:

Array
(
[prim_uuid] => ea2d31d5-be84-4238-8b63-9736b4d59619

Estate Object Scattererer

Use the module to rez an object (for example, a tree or greeter) scattering it across a region within specified estate. You can optionally scatter the object across all regions in the estate. Like if you want to landscape 256 regions at once. Avoids putting things in water and on cliffs. The prim-based rezzers probably won't cover an entire 4096x4096 region (or 256x256, 512x512, 1024x1024) due to limitations in the lsl rez command. Using a module gives you full region coverage and can also do all regions in an estate at once.

Not many people know this, but I underwent major surgery on January 16 and am still recovering. That is why you have not been seeing me in-world as much lately.

I kept this mostly private, but I realize that doing so may have left some of you wondering, especially those visiting my shopping regions and waiting longer than usual for responses. I apologize for the delays and appreciate your patience.

The surgery was successful, but healing has been slower than I hoped, and rebuilding my energy has been a challenge. I am doing my best and gradually increasing my time online. I check Facebook and Discord daily, so those are the best ways to reach me for now rather than in-world messages.

I have many projects on hold that I am looking forward to resuming. I am adding new content to the store and will make an announcement as soon as everything is fully ready.

If you visit the shop and an item is not set for sale, it simply means it still needs final work. Please do not request early copies. I do not have the energy to rush custom requests at this time. Once items are ready, they will be available. In the meantime, there is plenty of original content available now.

Now that you know what has been going on, I would deeply appreciate your prayers, chants, healing thoughts, or whatever form of good energy you practice. It has been a difficult season, but I am improving each day. I miss being in-world with you all and look forward to returning more fully soon.

With love and gratitude.

AHOY, YE LANDLUBBERS!

This afternoon, at the ungodly hour of 12:30 PM PST / 9:30 PM CET, the cannons shall BOOM, KABOOM, and possibly go PEW-PEW in the legendary Catronian Archipelago! It's Celyddon Navy ships versus fearless privateers — basically the world's most dramatic game of sailing boats, but with more explosions and significantly less safety

YOU can be part of this glorious chaos! Fancy yourself a captain? Grab the wheel and try not to crash into anything important. More of a "point and shoot" kind of person? Hop on as a gunner and unleash your inner toddler-with-a-toy-cannon energy. Or, if commitment terrifies you, just show up as a spectator and pretend you knew what was going on the whole time.

We'll be waiting for you — and please, for the love of all things nautical, show up a little early. The cannons wait for no one.

Backup-Dokumentation (Borg, Linux, getrennte Server-Struktur)
Backup documentation (Borg, Linux, separate server structure)

In den letzten Wochen habe ich mein Backup-System grundlegend überarbeitet und neu strukturiert.
Ziel war eine saubere, automatisierte Lösung mit klarer Trennung zwischen Produktionsserver und externem Backup-Server.

Das System basiert auf:
• verschlüsselten Borg-Backups
• getrennten Backup-Skripten für Dateien und Datenbanken
• zeitlich versetzten Cron-Jobs
• klar definierten Aufbewahrungsregeln
• vollständig dokumentierten Wiederherstellungsszenarien

Die Dokumentation ist bewusst allgemein formuliert und nicht auf ein spezielles Grid oder eine konkrete Datenbank zugeschnitten.
Sie kann als Anleitung für andere Administratoren dienen, die eine ähnliche Struktur umsetzen möchten.

Enthalten sind unter anderem:
• komplette Einrichtungsschritte (Repository, SSH, Passphrase-Automation)
• Beispiel-Skripte für tägliche und wöchentliche Backups
• Retention-/Prune-Strategien
• Log- und Kontrollmechanismen
• Restore einzelner Dateien
• Datenbank-Rücksicherung
• vollständiger Disaster-Recovery-Ablauf

Die PDF ist zweisprachig (Deutsch/Englisch) aufgebaut.

Download hier: http://dorenas-world.de/downloads/Anleitung-Borg.pdf

Over the past few weeks, I've completely revamped and restructured my backup system.

The goal was a clean, automated solution with a clear separation between the production server and the external backup server.

The system is based on:

• encrypted Borg backups
• separate backup scripts for files and databases
• staggered cron jobs
• clearly defined retention rules
• fully documented recovery scenarios

The documentation is intentionally general and not tailored to a specific grid or database.

It can serve as a guide for other administrators who want to implement a similar structure.


Included are:

• Complete setup steps (repository, SSH, passphrase automation)

• Sample scripts for daily and weekly backups
• Retention/prune strategies
• Logging and control mechanisms
• Restore of individual files
• Database recovery
• Complete disaster recovery process

The PDF is bilingual (German/English).
