NightPetal is a sacred, immersive space for artistic expression and quiet reflection. The gallery and glowing gardens are designed as an ethereal journey of light, nature, and spirit. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:NightPetal

I just checked the region it is up and running. It is set on Smart Start if at first the tp doesn't work please try again.

Here is when the drama started. I am now being called a harasser because I finally answered her childish parting gift on the grid. I am so sorry there are people in opensim who create drama and then blame US for being harrassing. Please stop sending spies to and alts to the grid to get the stuff Nexus didn't get. It's not going to happen. Don't bother banning us from the grid. We have no interest in being with people as base as you.

THE BUZZ — WEDNESDAYS!
Join us one Wednesday every month from 10 AM – 12 Noon (Grid Time) for great music, good vibes, and plenty of fun!

DJ WHISPER — OLD TO NEW!

DJ Whisper brings you her own unique style, taking us on a musical journey from the classics we love to the newest sounds!

Come join us for great tunes, good company, dancing, and a Wednesday to remember!

4 Fun and Active Years of the Dinkies!

On 2nd November, we will celebrate five wonderful years since the Dinkies came to life in OpenSim at the Funsize Dinkies World Resort!

What an amazing journey it has been so far! Four years filled with fun, laughter, friendship, adventures, and so many beautiful memories. And, of course, many more wonderful years are still to come!

As most of you know, the Dinkies Resort has moved a couple of times over these past four years, always searching for the perfect place to call home.

And now, the Funsize Dinkies have finally found their special home on LinkUp Grid, where many Dinkies have already been enjoying their wonderful lives since the grid first opened.

We are so happy to see our little community continue to grow, welcome new faces, make new friends, and create even more unforgettable memories together.
A huge thank-you to everyone who has been part of our journey over these four amazing years. Whether you have been with us since the very beginning or joined us along the way, you are all part of what makes the Funsize Dinkies World Resort such a special place!

Here’s to more fun, more adventures, more friendships, and many, many more happy years together on LinkUp Grid!
Once a Dinkie, always a Dinkie!

Hi everyone. I have had a few people ask if we will upload IAR files to Wolf Territories from OSGRID. Unfortunately we have to protect the security of the grid so we will not be doing that at this time. However I'm pleased to say that region owners can upload OAR files, although we have a scanner that pre-scans OAR's. We are running a custom version of OpenSim called WolfSim that has many built in protections, including running on dotnet 10 rather than 8 like many grids, properly locked down servers running our WolfStack infrastructure software (https://wolfstack.org) etc. Plus users benefiting from our Viewers get added security,

We have removed some quite severe security vulnerabilities in Firestorm in our WolfViewer viewer that can run on any grid, but Wolf users get a lot of extra features. I wish everyone all the best with what is going on but that's where Wolf Territories is at the moment. Please PM me if you have any questions Lone Wolf in world, on discord or on this platform.


In other news we have a new opensim blog https://opensimblog.com

🌿 Welcome to Rigatoni Cemetery! 🌿

Dear OSgrid friends,

Sometimes, even virtual worlds need a place where memories can live on. ❤️

I’m so happy that we can offer this little project completely free of charge! With OSgrid approaching its expected closure at the end of December, I thought it would be lovely to create a special place where everyone can leave a personal mark and preserve a little piece of their virtual life.

Rigatoni Cemetery welcomes you!

There is currently room for 30 individual gravesites , each measuring 64 × 64, where you can create your own memorial, design a unique resting place, or simply celebrate the memories and friendships you made in OSgrid.

Our friendly cemetery administrator, Toni Riga , will be happy to help you find your own parcel.

Everyone is welcome. No fees, no pressure — just a little place for memories, creativity, and friendship.

Because even when a virtual world disappears, the memories we made there deserve a home. 🌹

Weil Judith die Köchin von Lemondhouse überraschend abgereist ist, springt Lucius Scaevola ein und backt eine Spezialität aus seinem Heimatland. Die eingeladenen Ladies sollen damit beeindruckt werden und Prinz Lennards Ruf als perfekter Gastgeber kann gewahrt bleiben.

new OAR + IAR kiosk. we use wormhole for safe secure large file uploads (we support up to 100GB) . touch the kiosk in the Payments & Support center to upload your Oar or Iar file. You can download a wormhole GUI client or use the command line. Doesn't have to be on the same computer, you just need to enter the Wormhole code and we'll pull it.

Note: only one of each can be uploaded at a time. if you upload a second Oar or Iar it will replace the previous one. So you have to wait until it is loaded on grid if you have more files to upload.

Sunday 8-10am

Join us at Community Social Club for Sunday morning greedy !Hosting By Annie at Community social club New Location make sure grab new Lm in the notice we move to other location

OSGrid shuts down 12/31/2026 - How to save and self-host Vanilla 150MB

OSGrid announced closure after 19 years, after asset pollution from 5TB to 17TB. Final meeting Oct 18 11am hg.osgrid.org:80:Hurliman Plaza

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION:
save oar / save iar ONLY works if your region is CURRENTLY hosted on OSGrid and you have console access.
The vanilla install below creates YOUR OWN standalone at home, it is NOT OSGrid and it will be only usefull to load your OAR/IAR as archives.

Full guide: https://ankhsenaton.netlify.app/

1) SAVE NOW (when OSGrid is not used too much! we don't want to crash it before 2027 !)
As region owner on OSGrid, in console:
save oar my-region.oar
save iar First Last / * backup.iar mypass
-> files appear in bin/ to grab via FTP.

Don't do a full 30GB IAR (3 days for me!). Do per folder with quotes if spaces:
save iar First Last "/My Objects/My Builds" builds.iar mypass

If tenant without console on OSGrid: ask your region owner for a save oar of your parcel + Take your objects.

If you are NOT on OSGrid, skip this step - you already have your OAR/IAR.

2) INSTALL YOUR OWN STANDALONE VANILLA (150MB)
Official files 0.9.3.0 Nov 8 2024:
http://opensimulator.org/dist/opensim-0.9.3.0.zip
Need .NET 8 SDK (no more mono)
Windows: dotnet OpenSim.dll
Linux: ./opensim.sh
First launch: standalone yes, SQLite yes.
This creates a local grid, offline.

3) REIMPORT YOUR BACKUP INTO YOUR STANDALONE
Copy .oar into bin/ then:
change region MyRegion
load oar my-region.oar
load iar / * backup.iar mypass --merge

4) WHERE TO GO AFTER
Keep it as standalone at home on 4GB VPS, or if you want HG again: Wolf Territories, BloodMoon, Kitely, Alternate Metaverse... You create a region via their panel then import your own OAR yourself or asking them.

PS: Our poor "be quiet" (aka Paela the deranged)—instead of hurling insults at me and attributing to me some immense power to cause the degradation of his own fragile, pathetic system—would do better to find a solution that doesn't end up sabotaging the creations of so many users on "his" grid!

😂🚨 SECURITY HAS REQUESTED MUSIC! 🚨🎧

The security man has spoken, and Adrian Moon has answered! 🤣🔥

Apparently, keeping people safe wasn't enough… now he's requesting tunes too! 🎶😂 Adrian's stepping up to the decks to give The Rooftop some serious vibes!

WHOEVER WANTS TO COME DOWN, THIS IS THE PLACE! 🍻🎧🔥
