Since Stark is stopping I created a new Hippie Beach eventplace on my sim.
Every Wednesday evening I will be Djing there with all sorts of music (watch for anouncements) but most of the times it will be tophits from 60s to present.
Come and join to have lots of fun

I am doing some important updates to the server, looks like server is offline until it finishes the updates and restarts itself. all else fails my guy from the company i rent from can restart it.

In other news, I am making very good progress with Jommla 4 and jopensim. I have had alot of help from chat gpt and codex. great part is, its now works on php8 with joomla 4. I will have my tech guy test the website out with me to make sure it is good to go.

Aside from jopensim, there are some pages and plugins that we need ot enable and put in there places. And new ones we need to find since creators didn't create versions for 4

I have been up all night working on this, i now know how fred feels lol. Thank you fred for all you do.

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.

🚨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.

Dear campfire dancers and music lovers,
tomorrow, October 20th, starting at 8:00 PM (11:00 AM SLT), we'll be having an autumnal musical smorgasbord, with a rather gentle selection of tunes. There will be pre-show music starting at 7:30 PM - come one, come all - we're looking forward to it!

making progress, have opensim building on dotnet10 (EOL for v8 is Nov 10 2026) and replaced all the System.Drawing/libgdi+ code with skia

adding a config option for fall-back font in case someone running windows wants to use it in the future.
maybe will have new version running on holoneon grid by monday, will have to see.
(i know ngc uses v10 but my server tacks upstream core and going to ngc would likely be a major paradigm shift here hehe)
