The Auto Sentry Gun. Just touch it to turn it on or off. Only the owner can switch it on. It will say "ON" to the owner or "OFF" if you click it a second time. Hehehehe. It will shoot a bullet that will send someone far into the air once they get to close to it. Have fun! Enjoy the game! Available for 0$ at cyberdatastorm.com:8002:Uno On The Moon [whooops! access fixed]

I am so happy to be part of Wolf Territories! Lone Wolf is doing truly cutting edge things in OpenSim! Hyperconverge servers migration, bulk region opportunities, complimentary regions for 501s and edu's - and more to come! Well done, Lone!

Veröffentlichung im Auftrag für Smaili Me, als Mitglied unserer Peaceisland Gruppe

Einige Mitglieder des Soul Grid sind wohl Gehirnlos und agieren beleidigend, sie können nicht eine Meinung gegenüber einer Auseinandersetzung oder einem Streit unterscheiden. Liebe Nasti eine Streitverursachung ist dies was du letztes Jahr gemacht hast, du weißt wo (Phil Collins Live) hier hast du eine hinterlästige Aufhetzung gegenüber Personen betrieben, was ich nun im Nachhinein erfahren habe, nachdem der Tommy und Crazy nicht mehr zur Party von Sylvia ins GWG gehen wollten.
Letztes Jahr wiederum, bei einer Party von Genie (Offworld) hast du Nasti und Karin als Sylvia zur Party kam und noch nicht einmal gerezzt war, Sylvia entwürdigt und angegriffen, das sie sofort weg ging und dies öffentlich, hier hat sich keiner eingemischt obwohl das unter aller Würde war, wenn ihr euch nicht mehr daran erinnert kann ich mit Offenlegung nachhelfen.

Und was ich am vergangenen Freitag am 23.Februar 2024 bei der Party vom Genie (Offworld) wo ich sachlich der AnaKathy.Rosenburg meine Meinung geäussert hatte
und hierzu über das Verhalten von sich einmischenden anwesenden Soul Mitgliedern und speziell über Karin feststellen musste in ihrer IM Nachricht dazu an mich, das diese Person weder eine Erziehung noch ein Ausbildung genossen haben kann, sie schreibt mir unter anderem im Wortlaut: du dreckige du kannst doch nicht unsere Souler die Ana angreifen
Jetzt verstehe ich auch liebe Nasti warum du nie alleine zu einer Party gehst und deine gehirnlosen Bodyguards dabei sein müssen.

Ich würde mich riesig über eine Äusserung von euch freuen, aber ich würde vorschlagen uns an neutralem Platz am besten nicht in Schriftform sondern zum Reden zu treffen mit Chill entspannender Musik im Hintergrund damit euere Gehirnzellen vielleicht beruhigt werden und wenn euer Still wieder auf assoziale Sprüche überschlägt und die Leute die euch noch nicht kennen kann man dies ja mit härterem Musiktönen übertönen und danach PARTYTIME !
Dieser neutrale Ort kann in Sandbox oder auch bei Micky im GWG sein, nicht zu vergessen, wozu er vorher befragt werden muss.

Noch etwas zu Ana Kathy, liebe Ana du weißt ab und an nicht was du redest und von dir gibst, ich will dir nicht zu nahe treten aber der Anschein erweckt es wie wenn du Persönlichkeitsstörungen hättest, ich kann dir einen Ratschlag geben, lass dir helfen.

Noch eine Bemerkung von mir Tommy und Crazy mischen sich in meine Belange nicht ein, sie verhalten sich nicht wie Souler. Ich bezahle auch kein Schutzgeld für mein virtuelles Dasein und Zuhause.

Ich schenke euch ein schönes Lächeln, was ich vorläufig in mein Profil real als Bild eingestellt habe, es ist zwar nicht mein wunderschönes Lächeln aber für die Souler reicht dies aus.

Smaili Me :)))))


P.S. ich bedanke mich recht herzlich bei dir Crazy das ich dies hier auf diesem Forum einstellen durfte.

Some members of the Soul Grid appear to be brainless and abusive, unable to distinguish an opinion from an argument or argument.
Dear Nasti, what caused an argument is what you did last year, you know where (Phil Collins Live) here you were insidiously inciting people, which I now found out afterwards after Tommy and Crazy stopped going to Sylvia's party wanted to go to the GWG.

Last year again, at a Genie (Offworld) party, when Sylvia came to the party and wasn't even rezzed, you degraded and attacked Sylvia, so she immediately left and did so publicly. Nobody interfered here, even though that was the case was beneath all dignity, if you don't remember it, I can help by disclosing it.

And what I said last Friday on February 23, 2024 at the Genie (Offworld) party, where I objectively expressed my opinion to AnaKathy.Rosenburg and about the behavior of soul members present who were interfering and especially about Karin, she had to realize in her IM message to me that this person could not have had any upbringing or training. Among other things, she wrote to me verbatim: you dirty, you can´t attack our Soulers, here the Ana.

Now I understand, dear Nasti, why you never go to a party alone and your mindless bodyguards have to be there.

I would be very happy to hear from you, but I would suggest meeting in a neutral place, ideally not in writing form but in talking, with chill, relaxing music in the background so that your brain cells might be calmed down and if your silence turns back to anti-social sayings and the people who don't know you yet, you can drown this out with harder music and then PARTYTIME!

This neutral location can be in Sandbox or with Mickey in the GWG, not forgetting what he needs to be asked about beforehand.

One more thing about Ana Kathy, dear Ana, you sometimes don't know what you're saying and what you're saying, I don't want to offend you, but it seems like you have personality disorders, I can give you some advice, let me help you .

Another comment from me Tommy and Crazy don't interfere in my concerns, they don't behave like Soulers.
I also don't pay protection money for my virtual existence and home.

I'll give you a beautiful smile, which I've temporarily put up as a picture in my profile. It's not my most beautiful smile, but it's enough for the Soulers.

Smaili Me :)))))

P.S. I would like to thank you very much, Crazy, for allowing me to post this here on this forum.

A new attraction on Stark Straits, a gallery of AI art that does not take itself too seriously, being created from fantasy and desires by a complete novice!!! You will love it or hate it, it is the marmite gallery!!!!!! It it is called Niki's Checkerboard Museum of AI Art.

This Grid has followed suit with other grids in banning Darkheartsos grid from accessing Trianon-World. Im sure the reasoning behind it will be clear to some of you who run adult grids, it's over run with children and adults who abuse them. Over the past few months, I have banned some adults based on profile pictures and wording. I'm not saying everyone from there was bad, but I don't want them on my grid. If you are from there and wish to dispute your access being denied, write to me here in private and plead your case

Bonjour à tous. Cela fait quelques temps aujourd'hui que je traine sur cette petite planète qu'est OSGRID. J'ai un peu de mal avec certaines choses comme beaucoup de gens j'imagine. Je lis parfois vos posts, vos écrits et je suis horrifiée de voir avec quel malin plaisir vous salissez ou pire vous dénigrez les gens ou les choses. C'est affolant. Aucune âme, aucune face. Alors bien sur j'ai comme tout le monde eu mes coups de colère mais heureusement pour ma santé mentale ca ne dure pas.
Nous avons la chance d'être sur une planète ou tout est gratuit bon sang! Avec les mêmes avantages que sur SL et manifestement ce que j'en lis, et hélas, constate les mêmes inconvénients! Expliquez moi : quel est ce démon qui vous rends jaloux parce que XX a fait un plus joli décor, ou plus grand, ou plus complets?? Quelle importance vraiment??? Est ce votre égo surdimensionné qui vous pousse à dire je veux plus de trafic que lui/elle? Quel intérêt?
Et la encore pire : en quoi la façon de s'habiller ou d'être d'une personne vous regarde?? Cela vous choque les nus? cela vous choque qu'elle ne mette pas de culotte? houlà !!! Mais faut consulter la!! ca relève de la psychiatrie en fait.
NOUS SOMMES AVANT TOUT DES AVATARS.
Après, bien sur que la personne qui l'anime est vraie. Mais on s en fou de savoir si son avatar est petit, grand, gros, vert, jaune, ou s'il met des culottes de grands mères ou rien! Ca change la personne que vous êtes de mettre un jeans ou un jogging? Vous vous habillez comme sur le jeu en RL ? Nan parce que la chapeau bas vous devez avoir de sacrés jolies gambettes mesdames et des sacrés corps d'athlètes messieurs! Vu la longueur des jupes et les chemises ouvertes que vous mettez sur os!! Arrêtons L'hypocrisie collective s'il vous plait!
La vie est courte l'avez vous aussi oublié? Votre RL ne vous suffit pas pour le coté sombre? la maladie les factures ?
Je pensais que sur SL le problème venait des Français hé bien non pas du tout. Dans tous les pays manifestement il y a un lot d'abrutis. Et fort heureusement aussi de très belles personnes.
Alors je vais rester dans ma petite grotte avec mon mari et quelques personnes charmantes que j'ai peu rencontrer. Je vais continuer à rêver... je rêvais d'un autre mooonde.....

OSgrid has announced a scheduled downtime from Wednesday, January 10th, to Saturday, January 13th.

https://www.osgrid.online/disruptions-downtime/downtime/

Given OSgrid's track record, I could impossibly not meme it.

Oh my goodness I almost forgot I could ask here!! It is probably a long shot because I found these a long time ago on Metropolis grid (sad they are gone :() by pure chance because I was lost. Anyway. "They" are alien plants and there were 4 or 5 or 6 different configurations of the same roundsih shape, and when you approached they would make this beautiful alien sound. I don't know how I managed to lose them, but I did. I think we all have lost a lot more than we were able to save over the years. Which is why we love this group!! Yep, I am a weirdo so if anyone out there has these alien plants or knows where I can find them...that would make my Christmas for the next 5 years! Thanks. Happy New Year!!!

Hallo ihr Lieben,
das Jahr ist fast zu Ende. Und wieder haben wir die Hälfte aller Vorsätze vom letzten Silvester nicht eingehalten. Ein guter Vorsatz wäre, dass wird das Ende des Jahres ordentlich feiern. Daher steigt im Soul-Grid eine Silvesterparty. Um 20 Uhr geht es los .
Wir freuen uns auf euch

It was exceedingly annoying to me that a Linda Kellie dress I really liked had something like a MILLION triangles and shot your avatar complexity to 500K.
I reduced the tri count significantly, until I could do no more without destroying the original mesh. Then I rigged for Ruth RC3 and wore it around my lonely little dreamgrid (my internet sucks, in those days I could see myself but nobody could see, talk to or visit me)(this is why I moved to OSgrid). More recently, I also rigged for Athena with my legal copy of the maitreya dev kit. It's common and there's people that prefer it-who am I to judge?

It's in Mythos now. Has pre made variants with the texture, all my textures included (all black dresses with a different type of tartan on each). Old doesn't equal ugly and usually in opensim if you don't like the "out of style" texture on something you can change it...you can use any LK ruffle bottom texture, any one someone else made with the AO, etc. The original AO map is in the box.
It's a shorter skirt so I put some old bloomers I made, and some stockings from Shinobar Annex in the box as a courtesy.

The Meaning of OpenSim is...
1. Short for "OpenSimulator" which is an open-source server platform originally launched in 2007 for hosting virtual worlds and metaverse environment.
2. "I was banned from a grid. What part of OpenSim don't they understand?
3. "I was banned from a grid. OpenSim should be open to everyone."

The newest break on the hypergrid . Must see/surf. It is truly a new and unique surfing experience. Please enjoy the waves at Aquarius ( Board rezzer has a beta board for all to try . ) and Monterey too. Let's go!

It has come to my attention today that Alex (and AviTron) has gone and attempted me from getting into AT at all after the debate I had with him over refusing to allow me to transfer my intellectual property as my inventory, from AT to another grid, just like I did when I joined AT and brought my inventory into AT from the previous grid.

This is outright DENIAL of service no matter what he claims, and a violation of my rights to MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, to which I legitimately got from other stores by way of freebies, purchase or otherwise given to me, and I am now the owner of said items. He is attempting to lock anyone into AT and NOT allow them or their property out of AT all for GREED.

There is a potential class action lawsuit, and all the details can be found in in the matter; https://leadinglightdistrict.altervista.org/OGC/cvap-at.ph...

If you are interested in joining this class action lawsuit, please contact me privately.

Edit 7-13-2023;
Corrected spelling mistakes
Alex has chosen to allow us to transfer our inventory out of AT to another grid, and therefore once this is completed, our part in a potential class action lawsuit becomes irrelevant to us

WHO is up for Movie Night soundtracks next weekend ?
I am ! We are thinking Saturday 27th ... 12noon ? You all up for that ? Let us know and we will deliver! (PS ... if anyone wants to help with the enviroment set up for the night Let me know ... I am happy to collab :)

Opensimworld.com is a great way to promote all the wonderful creations we can find in different grids and I think this is the purpose of this website. Promoting creativity, giving people the ability to explore and see what others create. This is why Im sponsoring this website with advertisements and announcements. Lately I observe this place is filled with comments of personal kind , ( some would call it drama ). I am sure the majority here visiting this website for the same reason as I do are not happy with the continuously posted remarks of personal kind ( and disrespectful) . I wish to ask all who use this wonderful website to consider , where it was built for. If this website will become a gathering place for people who wish to display their frustrations, it will chase away others who are willing to invest in this medium. Please take this in consideration before you post ( and please use English if you can, this is an international community)

Region and Grid Owners: Do you have a lot of rental properties? How do you manage them? Are your tenants also tenants of other grids and do they hardly ever visit the regions that they rent from you? The rental dilemna is real. To rent or not to rent? That is the question......Visit our www.tropicanaestates.net blog section for more details. I can't paste a link here as it comes up blank but if you visit the blog section of our website it should work. I would be interested to hear from other grid owners or region owners with regard to rentals.

Hello
Thinking of those of you who have marine worlds, I have left copies of a jellyfish, an octopus, a giant squid, a loggerhead turtle, a Beluga whale, a Yubarta whale and a whale shark at the base of Subnautica (and the whale skeleton can also be copied).
There are also 5 new NPS in the class that you can copy.
Enjoy them

Hola
Pensando en los que tenéis mundos marinos, he dejado copias de una medusa, un pulpo, un calamar gigante, una tortuga boba, una ballena Beluga, una ballena Yubarta y un tiburón ballena en la base de Subnautica (y el esqueleto de la ballena también se puede copiar).
También hay 5 nuevos NPS en la clase que puedes copiar.
Disfrútalos

THE BEAST!
The other day I walked past a fitness place named The Beast. That makes sense. They are going to pump you up into some kind of muscle-bound monster. What didn't make sense was their logo. It was...a unicorn. Ah yes, who doesn't associate unicorns with buffed beasts? Why, when I was a child, my favorite movie was "Beauty and the Unicorn." Or something. In any case, I made this outfit. It's got horns. Wear it and prowl around, searching for what? Unicorns?

oh HELLO: Outfits With Options. And now, a baby unicorn in every box!

Data transfer status.

Do you remember a post I made some time ago, about assets missing due a day transfer?

Let me tell you the full story because I got a post that's a bit too angry and a bit too misinformed for my taste.

Originally OSG was mostly on a datacentre on Texas, at first it was good, but it got progressively more and more inadequate for the grid, do you remember two years ago that we had a weekly outage? Or sudden grid downs that used to last 24 hours?

It was time to move the whole grid to new pastures and they did! The total data was transferred to a better datacetre, the transference was brutal though, we're talking about millions upon millions of tiny files, it took months to transfer all that and they managed to do it with the grid running. Of course there was side effects, slowness to rez, extended times to see the textures appear, etc. A small price to pay compared to the alternative: shut down the grid for a couple of months.

Some days ago I was told the current status of the last server move, the one with oldest assets, most notably 1+ year old textures and notecards.

The good news: the transfer is done, it took about a month.
I was told not once, not twice but several times: No data was lost.

"So where are my textures?"

This is the current situation: While the data is already transferred it's the equivalent of moving, we have all the boxes into the new house, now it's time to unbox and arrange our stuff in the empty space.

That last server had about 168 million assets.

The program that the guys wrote specifically to ingest the data into the new server process about 1.6 million assets per day, plus they're verifying the integrity of each bit (thanks to that they had corrected/recover 4854 assets so far), the whole process assuming 1.3 million assets processed and ingested per day will take between 90 to 120 days from today.

I asked if this will cause lag or poor performance: No, this process happens on a separate server, and it's independent of the rest of the grid, so it won't impact performance.

No data has been lost, but many is still in the box, waiting to be put in the proper place.

Is it a bummer? of course it is, all my profile pictures (all of them are 1+ year old) are gone, white. I won't delete them because they will be back.

Finally this process is progressive, it means that as the data gets processed it becomes available, my pic today is white but tomorrow may be back, as it reaches its's turn in the queue.

So don't despair, we're in the final stretch.

what i am after is either a car and lock that opens doors, or a keycard and swipe machine. We have two hotels at present that we are outfitting, here at City of Serenity. We are trying to make things look authentic as in each room has a lock of some sort that needs a guest to open. Imaging a hotel you going to stay at and the door to your room thats what i want and opening system. I have been looking for a key i can hang on a hotel key board but to no avail and if i use a keycard system i need to be able to put room number and logo on it. Thank you

New Release: Arcadia's Panda Hoodie.

This took me a while to make, it's a release for girls: a Panda Hoodie.

It comes in two versions: with the hoodie and down.

It comes in three models: Flat chested, regular chest and big breasts.
But it's also fitted mesh so it will vary according to your shape sliders too.

It comes for two kind of avatars: System avatar and Ruth 2 v.4.

While I don't support athena I've seen it wore and it fits too, but I can't guarantee a perfect match.

It includes all the textures for the hoodie and the alpha layer inside each hoodie object.

Enjoy!

New Release: Arcadia's Tiki gazebo.

Phew!
This one was a LONG project that started before my hard drive died.

It features a small and cozy gazebo for your beach setup, it seats four in solo poses or couple poses using SFPoser.

It took me a long while as i made all ~50 poses myself, so each one is unique for you.

It also features a small source of light in the form of candles you can turn on and off in the OPTIONS menu.

Please read the manual for more details.

Happy Tuesday!

Did you know?

The Fokker Dr.1 had a rotary engine, that means the whole engine rotated with the propeller, it was cutting edge tech for WWI! However those engines couldn't actually throttle, you could make it slightly faster and slower by modifying the mix of fuel/air and that was that.

My replica tries to emulate that by allowing you to throttle it from 70% to 100% only, so to land you need to actually cut the engine and if you want to stop once on land you need to turn your engine off, otherwise you will end smacking your tushy against something and no one wants that, right? =D

Happy Sunday!

After hearing of the sad news that Gertie Bumbtious left us on June 5th, we, Niki Stark (ex-wife of Gertie) and I decided to make a tribute edition of Stark! with some nice photos of Gertie. We will miss Gertie very much with her happy, positive manner and her legendary music sets!

You can get copies of the magazine and the vendors at the Stark landing point as always.

Rest in peace, Gertie!
Niki & Mattie

Ask Yourself:
You made a great cake, you did put all your time and effort in this cake. Then you sell it to make a few bucks extra, to pay the rent for the bakery. Then some else steels your recipe and starts making your cakes and gives free cakes to people. People no longer have to buy your cake and you can close your bakery. Do you think that is fair? This is the same thing. By grabbing all these illegal items ( and believe me ALL is illegal at Sacrarium grid ) you kill others, who try to be honest and do things the right way. This is not 'SHARING' and does not even come close to 'CARING'. Remember they only care about themselves and laugh about you the silly and dumb people who keep them alive. JUST DON'T! They copy everything except good behaviour :) They are the outcast in our society, they are worthless criminal people:) You do not want to be one of them.
And I probably will be banned, without notice, from this site, because they cannot deal with what we call 'FREEDOM of SPEECH'.

Opening this thread after someone has left a bad review on my sim because she didnt agree about the GDPR policy...

"Wth is GDPR policy"
- The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU and EEA areas. The GDPR aims primarily to give control to individuals over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.

"All grids asking for registration then?"
- Not all grids but the commercial ones were forced to.

"WTH I have to do with this law if I not even European?"
- YES, I KNOW.. IT SUCKS.... but... Grids owners cant control (or its too complex and costy $$$) to know who is who. I run a Norwegian sim but I could be from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on RL or even from Tivunantampuran, India and u wouldnt know...

"I DON`T LIKE PEOPLE COLLECTING DATA FROM ME"
-YES... I KNOW... IT SUCKS.... but... let me tell u a thing.. Info being collected refers only to ur av name, age, IP address, time u log in there and harware/software used on PC used only for grid statistics.. Grids owners are not worried if u watch porno on PC or even u own copybotted stuffs in inventory.. And guess what. ALL GRIDS ALWAYS COLLECTED info about u. Difference now u know tha happens!!

" I TRIED TO MAKE 3 TIMES REGISTRATION AND STILL CANT TP OUT"
-YES... I KNOW... IT SUCKS.... but... please follow carefully instructions from grids website.. Most of times (99,9%) are from people who types either "http" or the "/" (or even both) at hypergrid address.. For whom IMmed asking for help I could manage them all to get to my sim, so please dont give us, sim owners, a bad review. just try to contact us first (or why not the grid support).

"NAH, I STILL DONT WANT TO MAKE THE DAMN REGISTRATION"
-YES... I KNOW... IT SUCKS.... but... Sun is yellow, Moon is white, someone here is gay - u couldnt not agree but if u still want to travel hypergrid (stuff u cant do at SL) its ur choice.. but nothing u do will change it. and my advise is: relax! registration is done once for AV!

"ITS TOO MUCH STEPS TO TRAVEL HYPERGRID.."
YES... I KNOW... IT SUCKS.... but... some people working to make process more simple. Hope one day all grids will do the same (but its all about $$$ u know)..
Bill Bright has just shown me a project he s been working at to make it more simple (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regu...).

well, hope to have clarified about GDPR here. Please leave ur comments here and tell me what u think about this thread. Thx :)

Something I've been playing with is texture change stuff and so I took a chair I found in open sim an a script from outworldz.com and some textures I have and POOF a chair that you can change the textures on the cushion. There are 12 different textures to choose from to suit whatever your décor is and it's free, full perm and waiting just for you! You can find it in the Holidays & Seasons department of the Masala Al Kohav Mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia
