Name The Two OSW Users You Most Respect
1. One who shares your views and values.
2. One who is dislike you but has earned your respect.

* You need not identify which is which. :)

*Please do not be offended if you are not named, especially by your friends. Undoubtedly, they respect you, but I'm asking them to make the difficult choice to name just the people they think ALL could, more or less, agree with, and you might be too special & unique. For example, I would not name myself, as I'm likely too polarizing. (I might lead a list of the most delightfully odd and opinionated however).

*So, as difficult as it may be, please limit your response to two people.

*The topic here is respect. The tone of all comments should, of course, be respectful as well. I'm not asking for the general opinions of the relative merits of those named. If you agree or disagree with someone's choice, please keep your opinion private. Thanks for respecting the guidelines.

*Just to be clear, this is not a popularity contest. We are not voting people up or down. You might agree or disagree with the choice others make. Feel as great as you like about how your judgement is better than anyone's, but privately please.

*Message me with your names if you prefer, and I will post them without identifying you.

I'm working on a project and looking for people to work with on it. But I think this exercise could be helpful to the OSW community at large in some way.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

Nico Kalani: This is hard! So I'm going to think a bit before I list my two. 20 minutes ago

Proudly to announce Mr and Mrs Spirit Wolf

Ruritania will be running on nice new fast servers in the Open sim Grid by the end of May but until then if you have a local LFgrid avatar please make sure that you make a new OSG clone before the deadline and they are put to sleep forever. Use your suitcase folder to allow you to do this more easily but if you get really hung up with no perm items ask me and I'll try to help.

Xi_Shi: all of LFG is moving, lock stock and barrel. Just the sims will no longer be hosted on a separate grid named Littlefield. Otherwise you will see no change. 1 hour ago

Eywa — Tree of Souls

In the world of Pandora, Eywa represents the spiritual connection between all living things.

This Tree of Souls was custom created for me by Lyric Alexander in 2009. It was never released or distributed — it has always been part of my original build. I remember asking Lyric if she could create it—she told me at the time how difficult it would be, but she was willing to try. She went on to bring it to life, along with the Helicoradian (accordion) plants used throughout the region. Thank you Lyric, and all the creators who worked on this project. You will find a note about it at landing.

More than a tree, it reflects living energy
 a place to pause, reflect, and connect.

Come sit beneath the branches and feel it for yourself.

Blue Moon was originally built in Virtual Highway Grid (2009). I later purchased the OAR after Tiffany Magic passed, I miss her. I rebuilt Iknimaya on my own grid using my original OAR and maintain a record of all original creators involved.

GemĂŒtlicher Sonntagmorgen. Ich entschloss mich mal wieder meinen Clone, dessen Seele eine KI beherbergt eine Frage zu stellen, die mich ja nun zur Zeit beschĂ€ftigt. Übrigens, Script technisch eine Eigenproduktion. Wir wollen ja bei OpenSim-Themen bleiben.

01:48] Dorena1 Verne: ist die Antfa eine linksextreme terroristische Gruppe?
[01:48] Dorena die Weise: Die Frage, ob „die Antifa“ eine linksextreme terroristische Gruppe ist, wird in Politik und Medien oft diskutiert. Hier sind einige wichtige Fakten dazu:

**1. BegriffsklĂ€rung: Was ist „die Antifa“?**
- „Antifa“ ist eine AbkĂŒrzung fĂŒr „Antifaschistische Aktion“. Es gibt keine einheitliche Organisation namens Antifa, sondern vielmehr lokale, lose vernetzte Gruppen und Einzelpersonen mit antifaschistischen Zielen.
- Ideologisch bewegt sich das Spektrum von gemĂ€ĂŸigt links bis linksextrem.

Tja, ich frage mich immer wieder, warum mich so viele in den extremen Bereich drĂŒcken, obwohl meine Aktionen doch eher kĂŒnstlerischer Natur und verbalen Bekenntnissen bestehen.
Die Frage konnte mir mein Clone nicht beantworten, aber Gott sei Dank gibt es hier ja einige Leute, die es scheinbar können,..wie sie meinen.
Egal, wir haben Sonntag, macht euch einen schönen Tag. :-)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A cozy Sunday morning. I decided to ask my clone again—whose soul is inhabited by an AI—a question that’s been on my mind lately. By the way, from a scripting perspective, it’s a custom creation. We want to stay within OpenSim-related topics, after all.

[01:48] Dorena1 Verne: Is Antifa a left-wing extremist terrorist group?
[01:48] Dorena the Wise: The question of whether “Antifa” is a left-wing extremist terrorist group is often debated in politics and the media. Here are some key facts:

1. Clarification: What is “Antifa”?

* “Antifa” is short for “Antifascist Action.” There is no single organization called Antifa, but rather local, loosely connected groups and individuals with antifascist goals.
* Ideologically, the spectrum ranges from moderate left to far-left.

Well, I keep wondering why so many people push me into the extremist category, even though my actions are more artistic in nature and consist mainly of verbal expressions of belief.

My clone couldn’t answer that question, but thankfully there are quite a few people here who apparently can
 or at least think they can.
Dear Hypergridders. Alas Utopia Skye Grid has turned into a closed grid, so you cant visit it anymore unless you create an avatar at USG. I have set up now a new mainstore at Kitely Grid and I have been busy with adjust pricing and complete my Kitely Market Store. Soon I will place a beacon at my world at Kitely Grid, so you can travel freely again to see my creations. In the meantime you find most of it at Kitely Market. https://www.kitely.com/market?store=46457920

JasonStackhouse: so if we cant visit the places anymore, and it is closed grid now.. utopia skye should remove all the beacons and sims advertising here on the directory of the opensimulator Metaverse 12 hours ago

osAESEncrypt/osAESDecrypt using key in environment variable
i added function osGetEnvironmentVariable(string key) so i could store secret in env instead of hard-coding script :)

we don't have a built-in RFC HMAC so we can use a non-standard sig like in the example below or make osHMAC() function (i already did that if you want the code lemme know)

we use a unix timestamp to thwart off replays

i'm setting env var in my opensim.service systemd unit file, you could do it a different way if you want

i set perms for osGetEnvironment, osAESEncrypt/To, os AESDecrypt/From to GRID_GOD (user level >= 200) - in ini- that should be a good idea, you can do as you wish

OpenSim/Region/ScriptEngine/Shared/Api/Implementation/OSSL_Api.cs:

public LSL_String osGetEnvironmentVariable(string key)
{
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(key))
return LSL_String.Empty;

string? ret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(key);

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ret))
{
return ret;
} else {
OSSLShoutError("osGetEnvironmentVariable: Failed to get environment variable!");
return LSL_String.Empty;
}

}

OpenSim/Region/ScriptEngine/Shared/Api/Interface/IOSSL_Api.cs:

//ApiDesc Get System Environment Variable (string key). Returns string.
LSL_String osGetEnvironmentVariable(string key);


Shared/Api/Runtime/OSSL_Stub.cs:

[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining)]
public LSL_String osGetEnvironmentVariable(string key)
{
return m_OSSL_Functions.osGetEnvironmentVariable(key);
}


config-include/osslEnable.ini
Allow_osGetEnvironmentVariable = "GRID_GOD,"
Allow_osAESEncrypt = "GRID_GOD,"
Allow_osAESEncryptTo = "GRID_GOD,"
Allow_osAESDecrypt = "GRID_GOD,"
Allow_osAESDecryptFrom = "GRID_GOD,"


/etc/systemd/system/opensim.service:
[Service]
Environment=MYBIGSECRET=FooYeah

script in prim:

default
{
state_entry()
{
}

touch(integer n)
{
// AES encryption with HMAC signing
string secret = osGetEnvironmentVariable("MYBIGSECRET");

// build payload
string msg = "a dime a dozen";

//avoid replay
string ts = (string)llGetUnixTime();

string plaintext = llList2Json(JSON_OBJECT, [
"msg", msg,
"ts", ts
]);
string ciphertext = osAESEncrypt(secret, plaintext);
// HMAC sig [not RFC HMAC - so it's vulnerable, would need to make osHMAC() func using System.Security.Cryptography
string sig = llSHA256String(ciphertext + "|" + ts + "|" + secret);

string payload = llList2Json(JSON_OBJECT, [
"data", ciphertext,
"ts", ts,
"sig", sig
]);

llOwnerSay("the secret: " + secret);
llOwnerSay("the payload: " + payload);

string decrypted = osAESDecrypt(secret,ciphertext);
llOwnerSay("decrypted: " + decrypted);
}
}


output:
[18:55] Object: the secret: FooYeah
[18:55] Object: the payload: {"data":"035BD37FF5EEBC778050625D0D11084A:ab3ab4619621ce8ece1259da3222c97c517641091b36bb674b777482e51dfe696d61009f8926cee430ebec377d3f05f2","ts":"1776563728","sig":"b233cf71cc3a03430b47061f00bfd1f781028af36b217eb95b58c5dbe9a6e481"}
