Hi all,
I am wondering what we are building all these great places for if noone wants to play pretend in them and RolePlay in them?
Am i just day dreaming here that we should use our regions for adventure and fun?

To Opensim Management
If you review our traffic trends, you’ll see they reflect organic activity driven by events, gatherings, and a natural flow of visitors. In contrast, regions using non-compliant or artificial avatar activity tend to show a consistent baseline of minimum presence over time, which is typically easy to identify in traffic charts.
For reference, examples of regions displaying this kind of pattern include:
https://opensimworld.com/hop/89148
hg.osgrid.org:80 Surf (Xtreme Surf)
sciattisigrid.it:8002 (Sciatti Shops)
We ask that this matter be reviewed carefully and that appropriate measures are taken to prevent unwarranted removals, particularly when there is clear evidence of legitimate traffic patterns.
If you look at our trend: Alba Sex Club you will see organic non minimums but varying ingress and egress.
comparison, our region, Alba Sex Club, demonstrates fluctuating, non-minimum traffic patterns consistent with legitimate user activity. Despite this, the regions noted above remain listed while ours has been removed, which raises concern about possible unjustified or erroneous reporting.
We respectfully request a thorough review of this situation and consideration of safeguards to ensure that listings are not removed without clear evidence of policy violations. These repeated removals are becoming a significant concern.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

MESSAGE TO OUR ALBA SEX CLUB MEMBERS
Dear members of the ALBA SEX CLUB group, we need you.
As you will notice we had to change page in Opensim trying to adapt to their rules to not be inaccurate in the counting of avatars. For two days now, ALBA SEX CLUB has been blocked from OSW without any warning despite our repeated unanswered messages. After months of being consistently at the top they haven't explained anything to us, and the only possibility is that someone mistook our AFK presence for fake traffic. But we know the truth: ALBA SEX CLUB is made up of real people, with a life, a job, a story. You are the ones who make it special. While eagerly awaiting for their positive response, now we ask you for a simple but crucial gesture:
💛 Write to OSW from the "Contact Us" page https://opensimworld.com/feedback and let them know that Alba is alive and well.

Thanks from alba princess

P.S: (three hours later) after second time blockage finally we are back again! Thanks to Opensim management ...and you all my good friends!

Fraud Alert.
There are no French people in French fries. Coal miners are not made of coal. There is no pumpkin in pumpkin spice! However, a surprising fact is that Ranch Dressing was indeed invented -- at a ranch!

I know the topic of salad dressings is controversial, but I just had to post this. Next - Elon Musk. He does not even remotely smell like musk. Some say he smells like Ranch dressing.

The Dismayland RATING has DROPPED from an "A" to "M". This act has had devastating consequences! Velma owns FNN News, the TV station and the Narrative! She does not care about the petty election, She controls what everyone sees and thinks. Corny Collins and his slutty girlfriend have gone too far! Time for Von Tussle to set the record STRAIGHT, while Corny and Tracy must endure her endless lies! More interesting updates are on my blog: https://opensimliving.blogspot.com/

The SEQUEL (BoooooooRING!) which never had the GUTS to appear on Broadway has officially LANDED at Dismayland as a Mini Show! We wanted Annie to take the MAIN STAGE but the petty selfish rebellious teen refuses to sing! Daddy BigBucks has financial troubles of his own thanks to Annie's bad behavior. Time for some REFORM SCHOOL with Sister Mary Perdition!

Who is having fun in Opensim? Annie is of course, she has an answer for EVERYTHING!

ANNOUNCEMENT:
working on my latest animesh roaming critters, I found myself in a predicament:
script load on sim would add up crazy with my intended, dozens of animeshies roaming, single, in flock,etc;
I've spent a hidious amount of time to overcome this bottleneck, and....guess what: I'm so close I can smell it ☺
Even more: its no longer 1 roaming and 1 anim script< I combined em into one clean - ZERO ! - lag version.
zero lag?....yes, Ive tested it to the bone:
effectively, script updates 1x per second, so its negligable in terms of impact on any angle;
I have now some 50+ roaming critters in ZweetZ: in the old state, that would lead to some 200 script events per second, or more....
With the new script....its between 5 and 10 in Statistics Bar, but thats the other scripts used in the sim, not the animals:)
and, of course, as far as I can tell now, I could another 50 without my server or sim give a blink!
I'm working hard on finalising it for my shop- unfortunatly, Im depending on chatgpt.....and he drives me bonkers with his hallucinations.
But, Persistence pays off......if you find it hard to believe, do visit my sim and head to the pond in centre of forest.....and after that, leave me review:)
P.S: the development and testing of lowlag script was done with default moving. That last step, upgrading it to KFM ( Key Framed Motion), prooved to be hard....but I got it working. The critters u see in the forest ( and shop) are with the default, but, the swan swimming in the pond, is the first with KFM !. Why kfm? It m,akes for a much smoother motion, no jerks etc . A bit more fine tuning required, then I'll post here when the new ones are available in my shop.

Update on the Mysterious Island
In 2026, a paleontologist and her boyfriend arrived on the island to conduct research on the "Pau na Xota" tribe. King Naxota agreed, but her boyfriend was taken prisoner, and she had to accept the tribe's rules. The last existing photo is of an acceptance ritual and a celebratory banquet. Of course, the banquet consisted of the body of a member of a rival tribe who was killed in battle. As far as is known, the paleontologist had to "please the king." But after a few weeks, there is no more news about the couple.

See you at Underground OS ⚡🎧

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"}

i am looking for a clothing designer to create a shortened Yukata just above the knee for females. I need it for the following bodies: Athena, LaraX, Legacy, Reborn, Perky, Petites and Mesh/Classic Style. They all need to be the same look (pictured above)

OR...

Should freedom of expression, parody and creativity be allowed and even encouraged?
Or should it be blocked for all by the few or the one.
I have no drama in anyone blocking me, I'm an adult.
Use the vote you have, but both sides should have a say.

This is ToyBoy. We all know him as an active OpenSim user in OSW. He has many projects that inspire us, beautiful sims he invites us to, great events, technical support—what more can I say? A valiant champion of the OpenSim idea. Because of his diverse activities within Hypergrid, a certain troublemaker has rightfully caught his eye.

Now for the kicker: Dorena Verne, who occasionally posts political images with little captions. Yes, truly awful anarchist stuff from the wicked, wicked left-wing corner, ugh. Our eyes, like those of other users, are glued to these terrible images; we're paralyzed and can neither scroll on nor ignore the wicked Dorena, the power of a wicked witch.

What does Dorena actually do for OpenSim? Just offer several regions for HG visitors, hold at least one event per week. Or, yes, she recently posted a complete backup strategy for a grid under Linux.

Ridiculous!!!!

What's that compared to the sheer number of OpenSim-related posts from our highly esteemed ToyBoy? Just look at his profile; it would take you hours to take it all in!!

Yes, I'm that wicked Dorena, and I'm blushing with shame at ToyBoy's tremendous contributions to OpenSim!!

Okay, I hope you'll take this post with a grain of salt. :-)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Das ist ToyBoy. Wir kennen ihn alle als aktiven OpenSim user im OSW. Er hat viele Projekte, die uns begeistern, schöne SIM's in der er uns einlädt, tolle Events, technische Hilfen, was soll ich sagen. Ein wackerer Streiter für die OpenSim Idee. Aufgrund seiner vielfältigen Aktivitäten innerhalb des Hypergrids ist ihm rechtschaffend eine böse Userin im Auge.
Nun kommts: Dorena Verne, die hin und wieder auch mal politische Bilder mit kleinen Bilderkommentaren postet. Ja, wirklich ganz schlimmes anarchistisches Zeug aus der bösen, bösen linken Ecke, pfui. Die Augen, wie auch die anderer User kleben an diesen furchtbaren Bildern fest, Sie sind gelähmt und können weder weiterscrollen noch die böse Dorena ignorieren, die Macht einer bösen Hexe.
Was tut Dorena schon groß für OpenSim? Nur etliche Regionen für HG-Besucher anbieten, mindestens einmal die Woche ein Event. Oder, ja vor kurzen mal eine komplette Backupstrategie für ein Grid unter Linux gepostet.
Lächerlich!!!!
Was ist das schon gegen die Vielzahl an themenbezogenen OpenSim Beiträgen unseres hochgeschätzten ToyBoy? Schaut in sein Profil, ihr werdet Stunden brauchen diese Menge zu erfassen!!
Ja, ich bin diese böse Dorena und Schamesröte steigt mir ins Gesicht ob dieser gewaltigen Einsätze von Toyboy für OpenSim!!
Ok, hoffe ihr seht diesen Beitrag mit etwas Humor. :-)
