Hey lovely Starchildren - just a heads up the the delay on 'object' acquiring/buying for those who HG is something beyond my control. The object 'buy' method (vs taking a copy or scripts) should be the 'quickest' one. I do empathise with the pain either way. I am happy to always send things via inventory if I'm around (although, trust me, not faster)!

I invite you to spend a magical evening at the drive-in cinema under the stars. Bring some snacks, warm blankets, and let's enjoy an unforgettable movie together under the night sky. What do you think?

Ti invito a trascorrere una serata magica al cinema drive-in sotto le stelle. Porta qualche snack, coperte calde e godiamoci insieme un film indimenticabile sotto il cielo notturno. Che ne dici?

How to protect your OpenSIM Server from hackers, priscila's etc.
Protect OpenSIM from hackers, Priscila's and DDOS atack is very easy, but most grid owners continue to not protect their grid and servers.

There is 3 simple step guide for admins:

1. Disable BUILD for all visitors, guests, friends..... ONLY OWNERS MUST BUILD! Priscila use THIS option to fill your sim with cocks!
--------------------------
YourSIM:
About land: Options:
Edit terrain: NO!!! Only SIM owner!
Fly: yes, why not?
Build: NO!!! Only SIM owners!
Object Entry: NO!!! Only SIM owners!
Run Script: yes! or mesh body like Athena will not work properly
Safe (no damage): YES!!!
-----------------------------
2. Always use router or at least software firewal:
On your router:
my server use IP port 9000-9010, some server may use 8002
don't open port 8003, 3306, 3389 or other numbers what you see somewhere!
------------------------------
config redirect
option src 'wan'
option name 'SIM'
option target 'DNAT'
option dest 'lan'
option dest_port '9000-9010'
option src_dport '9000-9010'
option reflection_src 'external'
option dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
list proto 'tcp'
list proto 'udp'

config nat
option src_port '9000-9010'
option name 'OpenSim'
option dest_port '9000-9010'
option src 'lan'
option src_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
list proto 'tcp'
list proto 'udp'
option target 'SNAT'
option snat_ip 'WAN ip XX.XX.XX.XX'

config rule
option src_port '123'
option src 'wan'
option name 'opensimDROP'
option dest 'lan'
list dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
option target 'DROP'
list proto 'udp'
option dest_port '9000'

config rule
option src_port '1900'
option src 'wan'
option name 'opensimDropp'
option dest 'lan'
list dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
option target 'DROP'
list proto 'udp'
------------------------
3. Make backups!

And, keep accusing me of being troll, canibal, ....(all what really is you) but if you not protect properly your server, screams will not help!


=========================== 2024 year additions =====================

4. NEWER allow ssh, ftp, sftp, rdp,smb or any other admin or file transfer access to the server via the same IP address! Use another hidden IP address or better VPN!

5. Backup must be on OTHER phisical device!!! Work copy on some directory is NOT BACKUP!!!

- Stevenson Bistro Set (PG Chair + Adult set)

This one wasn't going to be a special one, just a couple of cute animations. But it was the gone where I realised how problematic the OS issue with wear prop rotations was.
It was also the one where the amazing @Parsalin sit for hours to fix it! So... we name it after it! Thanks @Parsalin!

- Campfire

Each set (Male+Female or Male+Male sets) have 3 pieces (2 logs that sit 2 avis + 1 stump that sits only one), also a camp fire. Snow layer can be adjusted by sitting in object Adjust > Snow.
Someone left a suggestion at the mailbox asking for some logs, so here they are!
The MM version...well, it's just MF slightly tweaked, so a bit underwhelming there!

Happy new year ! Seems nothing has changed and the anarchy goes on on this side. Back from vacation and going on vacation next week. Here are some updates.. The experimental sim with "purgatory" on it will be dissolved and parts of the sim will be found again on heavy water. Heavy water is undergoing major expansion and is therefore closed for an indefinite period of time. Afterwards, group access as usual. Cockatiels paradise, as you would expect, receives regular updates and is always changing. Greetings!
