Info for all jealous and knowledgeable who claim my grid and 162 sim are slow. (user01) I did a test with an old pentium 4 Intl core 2 quad 3.2GHz, 8GB memory card 6 years out of life no more driver, "1GBite" internet. I'm going to my sim house market 60000 prim hard test. No difference to my PC i7 core 8, 4.3GHz, 32GB memory new Graficcard Gigabite. All work fine and stable fast. :-D
If my grid is slow for you, it may be time to think about the 50MBite internet and your old PC. That could be helpful. ;-)

We have a new mapping system that's standalone. turning off map generation in opensim.ini and the new system runs outside of opensim and uses SixLabors.ImageSharp. This solves some GC issues i've noticed doesn't torque the opensim region server.

it's a relief map with height better represented than warp. here's a comparison. note that the region in the warp3d map is actually mostly grass not sand so warp3d is off a bit i suppose?

currently in dev i will be moving new mapping system to holoneon grid later today

gyazo has been down for a few weeks. who knows if they will return. I made a desktop screenshot tool that's simple, lightweight and opensource. It uses Control+Shift+G instead of C because lots of things use C including camera tools in firestorm, so it's hella annoying. G has no conflicts i've found yet. You can install peepski or build your own if you want. get it at https://peepski.com/ :)

migration begins! after about a year of running we're making some changes to assetd server. originally it stored assets in ipfs and kept local zstd compressed files on each region server. this burned up alot of drive space and 10 years down the road just isn't sustainable. So I'm getting rid of ipfs and storing all assets in s3 bucket. assetd pulls the assets on request, fixes broken ones if needed. with squid cache between assetd and opensim things are much faster. squid keeps current assets in ram for fast loading and stores less active assets in an optimized file structure. we can adjust the levels to increase ram and drive cache. i'm currently moving 2,583,234 assets into s3 bucket. after that's complete we just need to restart the grid, shouldn't be any downtime during the transfer though. on dev server assets load super fast. so we hope to have a better experience on holoneon grid in the next few days.

The Balloons of Fleetwood Beach

The Steampunk balloons of Fleetwood Beach offer a special way to explore the region from the air.

Visitors can choose between two different experiences.

There are player-controlled balloons, where you take the pilot’s seat and fly the balloon yourself. You control its altitude, direction and movement. The deliberately slow and slightly delayed handling gives the impression of flying a large, heavy airship rather than a fast vehicle.

If you prefer to relax and simply enjoy the view, you can take the automatic balloon tour instead. The balloon follows a predefined route through Fleetwood Beach, allowing passengers to enjoy a comfortable sightseeing trip without having to control the flight themselves.

This way, every visitor can decide whether they want to be the pilot or simply enjoy the ride as a passenger.

Whether you fly on your own or take the automatic tour, the balloons provide a unique view of the buildings, landscapes and attractions of Fleetwood Beach and are one of the most enjoyable ways to explore the region.

I want to be specific: I have been an artist in RL for decades, i had worked on paper and did collages when nobody knew what computers could do. The only machine i had was a copy machine and it was fun. I had also put my face on it and objects, experimenting a lot. I dont use AI on my artwork these days because i could not do art without it. I am experimenting. I was mixing RL artwork and virtual photography (exposed them in a gallery in RL), now adding AI to it and using different prompts and filters and exploring programs and having so much fun. Any artist can choose his tools, that is perfectly ok for me and i would visit an exhibition for other aspects than what tools are used to express the content, does this person have someting to tell me? (btw. i like to use the french word expo - exposition because what ideas people have in that expression is what i imagine in the english expression. not going into details. lol)

Hello, dear manufacturers and copycats of Mesh products (houses, furniture, clothing).
Time and again, you release AI-edited versions of your products.
But when I take a look, oh well—it looks terrible.
Be honest and post it exactly as it appears in the viewer.
Thank you.
