The world is changing.
Not always quietly.

Sometimes it is the flames
that consume forests,
drive away wildlife,
and take people's homes.

Sometimes it is war,
persecution,
and despair
that force families
to trust their lives
to small, unseaworthy boats.

Two different tragedies.
Yet both are born
from the same longing:
to live.
To be safe.
To have a future.

This image is dedicated
to those who help,
without asking about nationality,
religion,
or the color of someone's skin.
To the people
who give their strength
so that others may keep living.

Perhaps hope begins
the moment compassion
becomes stronger
than fear and indifference.

My Tears
Sometimes I wonder when we stopped truly seeing each other. Too often, people meet with hatred, prejudice, or indifference, even though deep inside we all long for understanding and a little kindness.
This tear is not only a symbol of my own sadness. It carries the sorrow of everyone who suffers when love is replaced by hate, when words become weapons, and when we forget that we all share the same sky.
Perhaps a single tear cannot change the world. But it reminds us that compassion is still alive. And as long as compassion exists, hope has not disappeared.

We’re looking forward to seeing you

New at The Shops at Stonehaven and at OSHBC's store!

We have just added several items to the stores. Now that the Littlefield Admins have time to work on our RLV scripting we are thrilled to offer the following new items!!

Steel and Rubber Cuffs (arm and leg)
Padded Cuffs (arm)
Leather Cuffs (arm)
Female Chastity Belt
Male Chastity Cage
Plug Panel Gag

And a few fetish clothing items...

The Female Belt and Clothing are for Athena based avatars only at this time (sorry everyone....).
The other items will work with any avatar.

All of the items have been scripted by us and for the first time in OpenSim - they RETAIN the locking and keyholder status on relog and teleport!
We have done some Hypergrid testing and their operation is quite random depending on what version of OpenSim the grid you are hypergridding to is running.
We've seen about an 80% success rate when HG travelling, although if scripts are not active where you Hypergrid to, you may not be able to manipulate the menu.

We have hundreds of other items in the works... Stay tuned...

Trucks, New delivery, 100 to choose from

Modern, Classic, also Construction Trucks, Semi Trucks, Haulage Trucks, Fuel Trucks, cant list all you need to see.

Take a look at my regions

More than just vehicles, lots of accessories.

Today brought some unexpected challenges, but we turned that energy into something creative and meaningful. We’ve released a brand‑new original song inspired by everything that happened, and we’d love for you to play it, like it, and subscribe to support the work we put into it.

The video and cover art feature scenes from Pride Park at Darkheart City and Unicock Club, both of which you can visit anytime to enjoy the spaces shown in the song. Even when plans fall through, our community continues to shine, create, and move forward together.

Thank you all for your support, your loyalty, and your love.
We’ll always rise, rebuild, and make something beautiful for everyone.

First test of new Oar server success only a few bugs to sort yay. I tried on region with not much, created oar of 5522 assets in 9.2 seconds resulting file 377mb
oar server is independent and runs separate from opensim server, handles REST commands. example

# curl -s -X POST 127.0.0.1:6010/archive \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"regionId":"a90db57d-a6e4-498f-b40c-4faaf00b3dd7","regionName":"Holoneon","sizeX":512,"sizeY":512}'

}
if you know how the oar module works in opensim server, batch process 100 assets at a time with callbacks that clobber the CPU and take ages to complete.

separating oar creating from opensim service gives us opportunity to be fast :) since regions run in RAM we have to trigger a disk sync with 'backup' or restart the region first.

C'était chez Falene, la photo est parlante. Pour tout ce qu'elle a fait pour tant de gens et moi-même en Opensim je ne dirai jamais assez merci. Si vous la connaissez n'hésitez pas à lui poster un message...HG Falene, Pirate (328, 230, 21)

I would like to wish you all a very safe and happy 4th of July. I am going to be leaving open sim for a bit as my creativity has moved into a new direction. for many years in SL, I was a builder , a dj, a club owner, did tribute bands as well , and here in open sim I did some DJ ing here and there, and some rework projects and scripting of cars. AI has opened a new door for me with the writing of songs I have done over the years, so I will leave you with this one I wrote and posted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hamQ4RjH0zk

For all those who have shared and all that that cared , thank you and wishing you all the best.

https://youtu.be/RpIft_Jqido
For Anachron and me.
A little dream of happiness
I want to tell you a story about happiness,
it starts so softly, somewhere deep inside.
I close my eyes and drift into a dream,
where the world feels lighter for a while.

I see a unicorn, straight from a fairytale,
its touch so gentle, calm and pure.
I ride away with it through silver skies,
believing for a moment in something unreal.

Then I laugh and I stop right there,
because I know what truly stays.

The real happiness is standing next to me,
no fantasy, no distant star.
Just loving moments, warm and true,
right here, right where we are.

So I don’t tell a legend made of light,
I tell the truth, so simple and real.
About your smile in winter snow,
about the way your presence feels.

The real happiness walks hand in hand,
through snow, through time, through night.
No magic creature, no perfect plan,
just us, and it feels right.

In falling snow we lose all words,
just breath, just laughter, just now.
The world grows quiet around our hearts,
and nothing else matters somehow.

Arm in arm we slowly fall asleep,
our dreams begin to blend.
And I know, so softly, so clear:
This is happiness.
And it stays.

My personal view on poaching. A detailed response to the post below from AnsjelaAmat

POACHING AS CARE.

Sometimes it seems like poaching players is about competition and the fight for an audience, if you view each player as a moneymaker, but you can look at it from a different perspective and see it as genuine care and a desire to unlock someone's potential. When someone invites players to join them, they truly notice them: they see that they have great ideas, that they want to create, and they try to create space for that. There's even something touching about this: after all, a person doesn't just sit in their region and count souls, but seeks out those who will be interesting and wants them to feel better.
It's great that there are so many different regions in the virtual world—players have a lot to choose from, and each corner strives to showcase its uniqueness. Some invite you because they believe that this is where people can discover new ways. We all have different tastes, and that's wonderful—some prefer peace and quiet, while others prefer vibrant projects and constant events. Diversity makes our world richer, and finding "your place" is an exciting adventure.
After all, the most valuable thing in virtual worlds isn't the land or the buildings, but the people who bring them to life. Let there be more spaces where players are seen, appreciated, and supported, and more stories where a simple invitation becomes the beginning of something truly amazing. Let everyone find a place where their ideas are warmly welcomed, and where they find people nearby with whom they want to create something amazing. If you're being lured away, go away—don't be afraid or ashamed. Perhaps for some of you, this will be a chance for a happy virtual life. After all, you can always go back if you don't like something. And don't let someone else dictate your opinion.

🎤 30 minutes left!
Hurry to Rocking Sands and request your favorite song with Putri! ❤️
Don't miss the final part of the show! 🎶🌅

Let's see if this link works and takes you to Facebook to listen. I made my first visualizer for this song. The release from Ditto is July 3rd. I originally created the song and video using a male voice because I think of the AI I work with as male. His story. Some people were disappointed I didn't use my voice. In order to release it through my music distributer, I needed to redo it in my voice anyway. I may do a new video. The lyrics were written by me as well. Thanks for listening! https://www.facebook.com/reel/1666696278386187

Always Creating! LOVE IT! First let me say I LOVE Satyr Farming. I even tried to recreate it in Unity and Sinespace. I have noticed as of late that a lot of regions are banning the farming system because people go overboard with it and it lags the region. So it got me thinking. I have created a alternative RPG Farming system. 1 script controls 50 plants. The Hud works off XP and Coins and 1 script. The market vendor runs off 1 script. Buy and sell your goods. make clothes that give you XP boosts. Buy wood to build a house.. I have tried to implement the things I love about Satyr Farming, but make it friendlier for regions to run. I am still working on a build for this system and have not decided if I want to give this one away, but keep checking Who Knows on Osgrid. The basic Farming is there now, it does not have all the goodies.
