# 🎙️ BloodMoon Grid Now Runs Its Own WebRTC Voice Server! 🌙

We are pleased to announce an important milestone for **BloodMoon Grid**!

BloodMoon has officially moved away from Vivox and now operates **its own independent WebRTC voice server**, hosted and managed entirely on our infrastructure.

After several weeks of development, testing, and improvements to the voice system, we have successfully deployed our new solution across the grid.

✅ **Proximity voice is now operational!**

Residents can communicate with nearby avatars using compatible viewers such as Firestorm.

🏡 **BloodMoon-hosted regions** have already been configured and restarted to use the new voice service.

🔧 **Externally hosted regions** connected to BloodMoon require a configuration update and IP authorization to access our voice infrastructure.

🚧 **Private IM voice calls and group voice conferences are not yet functional.** We are actively working on these features and will provide updates as development progresses.

### 🌐 A Step Toward Greater Independence

Our goal is to reduce our dependence on external services while maintaining a reliable and modern voice experience for our residents.

This deployment includes several fixes, adaptations, and improvements developed and tested specifically for our OpenSimulator environment.

We are happy to share this progress with the OpenSimulator community!

**BloodMoon continues to evolve, one step at a time.** 🌙

Balthasar der Kaufmann des Grafen, hoch zu Ross, war der erste Einheimische den sie trafen in Storybrooke. Er begrüsst die Gruppe und wunderte sich, dass Prinz Lennard höchtpersönlich dort eintrifft. Er kennt ihn ja von seinen Besuchen bei der Audienz in Carima.

**⚠️ BLOODMOON GRID – VOICE SERVICE NOTICE**


Dear residents,

We are currently experiencing issues with the Vivox voice service used by OpenSimulator.

As some of you may know, Vivox announced several years ago that its free voice service for OpenSimulator would eventually be discontinued.

At this time, we do not know whether the current situation is a temporary outage or a permanent shutdown of the service.

**What does this mean for BloodMoon?**

- Voice communication through Vivox may currently be unavailable.
- The grid itself remains operational.
- Text chat, instant messages and other grid features are not affected by this voice issue.

**The good news:** The BloodMoon team has already been working on an alternative voice solution based on WebRTC technology, independent of Vivox.

Testing and integration are underway, and we hope to make this solution available across the grid once it is ready.

We will keep you informed as soon as we have more information.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

**The BloodMoon Grid Team**

🚨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.

Making AI images is fun, but at what cost?

We’ve all seen the funny, beautiful, and creative pictures generated by AI. But have you ever stopped to think about the environmental cost of creating them? I see them on this website daily! I have made hundreds of Ai images!

But, did you know? Every AI-generated image requires computing power. That means electricity, water to help cool data centers, and powerful computer equipment that requires mining and manufacturing.

And every time we ask AI to create a picture, fix a mistake, or generate another version, we use even more resources.

One image may not seem like much, but multiply that by millions of people generating millions of images every day.

More energy consumption. More water demand. More carbon emissions. More electronic waste.

We talk about protecting our planet, reducing waste, and conserving natural resources. Yet we're embracing a technology without always considering its environmental footprint.

I'm not saying AI doesn't have valuable uses. It absolutely does. But do we really need to generate endless pictures just because we can?

Making AI images is fun. But is the environmental cost worth it?

Something to think about before clicking "generate" again.

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.
