WolfTEC Campus is the home of Wolf Territories Educational Community! That is correct; we have our VERY OWN educational group. WolfTEC was created to support our grid specific educational efforts! Be sure to check out the WolfTEC blog at: https://www.wolf-grid.com/index.php?f=educate

🏞️ What to Expect:
• Engaging horseback riding tour
• Insight into the Terra Viva Landscape Architecture Competition project
• A blend of nature, culture, and history

VWEC will be meeting on another grid at the beginning of this event. If you would like to join at the pre-tour meeting: Landmark: hop://grid.kitely.com:8002/Cookie II/122/130/25

@ Virtual Worlds Education Consortium Pavilion

You will need to put in the hop again when you arrive at Kitely, as you will be taken to Welcome. The region must be started before you can teleport.

👋 Join us for an unforgettable journey!

Today there is way too much drama in the box. I was looking for grid help, or conversation. So. If you want to remove "the box"... use greasemonkey/tampermonkey. Create a script for this site. Add...
// @require https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js
under 'grant' at the top.
THEN. add this:
(function() {
'use strict';

$( '.panel-heading:contains(" The Box ")' ).parent().remove();

})();

Thank you all for your support. There are now six of us and hopefully more will join us over time. I think many are, very understandably wary and don't want to get dragged in to something they don't want to. But as I explained in introductory post on the front page, this group is simply about solidarity; standing together and supporting one another. Some of us will take on the fight, in the happy knowledge that there are others who think similarly.

I've just read the notorious Box on the front page. Apart from Pagane having another melt down, there are comments questioning the need for such a group. I can't be too hard on those people, but really they need to pull their head out of the sand. I don't wish to overstate things, but we are living in very dangerous times, the far-right mainstream political parties who are now gaining ground have been preparing for years, changing their image, softening their message and all the while attempting to persuade people to their cause, always ready to blame the 'illegal immigrant' the single-parent (usually a woman) poor people in general. That's just the start.

At the moment most of the comments in the box are dismissive and a little insulting to me, (I will not engage there) and at least one of them is revealing how well they did at Airhead Academy. That might sound cruel, but that person isn't really stupid (I hope) but they do rather overplay false equivalences and seem utterly incapable of seeing what is happening right in front of their eyes.

Details:
This is definitely not Yo Momma's Rennfaire! Kith's Rennfaire tunes draw on Celtic and Pagan influences for a program that will have you dancing all night.

The work at the mall is completed (for now) and the new welcome center is very nearly completed and will be totally operational very soon - there we will have tutorials and videos for the "How To's" of navigating Open Sim including MY favorite...SHOPPING!! Blessings and much love, Lavia

Dystopia. A dystopic city theme built for play and fun. Explore the harbour, the old amusement park, the Sexposure - or if you dare - Dr. Volkhard's old abandonded asylum, and many many more places. Wheter you want to just walk around and take in the scenery or role-play, this is the place for you.

I've been encountering a strange phenomenon for quite a while now.

Firestorm reproducibly does not texture certain surfaces. They're rare, but they're always the same.

One example that comes to mind: Swiss Cafe (in case you know it), second ground floor window from the left, the "non-moving" parts. They're always "textured" plain white. Even on derivatives of this building, and regardless of on which sim on which grid they're located.

This happens to two different avatars of mine from two separate grids each (two avatars on one grid, two avatars on another grid). It also happens on two separate computers, both booting Debian testing, but I don't think the underlying OS has any influence. This rules faulty cache content out.

In fact, it even happens after I've completely deleted the cache manually outside Firestorm.

I've tested various Firestorm versions from 6.3.9 to 7.1.9 today, and they all show this strange behaviour. That is, I do recall having seen the Swiss Cafe properly with all textures in the past, using Firestorm.

A while ago, I tried saving the general settings and all avatar settings, then deleting the entire ~/.firestorm_x64 directory. It didn't change anything.

Eventually, I tried the Cool VL Viewer. It doesn't render that texture either. So it's actually independent from the viewer as well.

Can it be that assets can be damaged by faulty asset servers or something, and that damage spreads all across the Hypergrid and wrecks all copies and all derivatives of the affected content?

*EUROPA RANCH* Now opened for public. When at EUROPA (main region), look for a big glassy teleporter board and pick up as destination EUROPA RANCH :)
CHEZ UFO branch opened now at that sim with greedy table for all visitors. Alien-horses rezzers available as well.
Enjoy :)

I notice when I do a post and I pay for it. the asking price to post it is not showing up on the front page of open sim world directory is there a reason for this I'm also VIP thank you for any information someone may give me.

I was curious: how does one go about allowing external SIMs to attach to private (yet hypergrid enabled) grid the way that OSGrid allows you to?
I've searched through the documentation and don't see anything stating how to do so, but I could have easily scanned past it.

We started off very strong this morning with the posters sessions! We have two amazing educational events in the morning @Wolf Fest!

@LillySparks contributions not only advanced the technology of virtual surfing but also brought people together, creating a more vibrant and cohesive community. Her work remains a testament to the power of innovation in enhancing virtual worlds and the experiences they offer. I feel my dream is finally realized, to have quality surfing in opensim is a beautiful thing but the cohesive community is just heartwarming. Seeing Hyacinth creating her new surf region gave me total goosebumps because in SL in the beginning that is how it was, everyone was creating their surf sims, creating their teams and all coming together each month for a surf comp, we can do this too! We can create our surf sims, our teams, and have fun competitions. Lag right now might be a thang to overcome if we have lots of action other than surfing on the sim, we might have to have the competitions in a stripped down sim with just the waves and boards but there is so much hope for this!! I am over the moon excited about our future! Get out there and surf everyone and thank you, @FerdFrederix, Kayaker, Hyacinth, and Lilly and team! 🏄‍♀️💕 https://three.hills.grid.outworldz.net/index.php/opensim-s...
