NOOBIE MOMENTS.. Despite all my years on OpenSIM, one still can have it. NO ONE IS SAFE lol
Don`t you all hate when selecting an object on FIRESTORM, instead of picking up TAKE COPY, you do the TAKE instead?....

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.

My dears, I'm being accused here of wanting to generate traffic. I can assure you that's not the case. This is a Sim where you can also live. It should be obvious that avatars will be there from time to time. I offer this stuff here so that there's something new every now and then, and I'm happy if you enjoy it. I don't really care how high the traffic is. I don't think I'll benefit from it in the end. I also don't want to take any of your traffic away. Therefore, I will remove this feature that the Sim displays here.

ihr lieben, mir wird hier unterstellt, ich will traffic generieren. Ich kann euch versichern, das dem nicht so ist. Das ist eine Sim, auf der man auch wohnen kann. Da sollte klar sein, das sich da auch mal Avatare aufhalten. Ich biete das Zeug hier an, damit es auch ab und an mal was neues gibt und es mich freut, wenn ihr Spaß daran habt. mir ist das relativ egal wie hoch dabei der traffic ist. Ich glaube nicht, das ich am ende davon etwas hab. ich will auch keinem etwas weg nehmen von seinem Traffic. desshalb werde ich dieses Teil, was die Sim hier bekannt gibt auch wieder abbauen.

I am devastated. I loved and respected Mal, and I will miss his friendship and spending time with him, as we all will. There is a Facebook group, Friends Of Mal https://www.facebook.com/groups/friendsofmal if you would like to join in honoring and remembering him. Rest in Peace, Dear Friend. Until we meet again.

It is so sad to see osgrid deleting their entire database of assets. I imagine much will be lost and never seen again from people who haven't logged in for a while. I heard they are starting from scratch. So sad to see their asset database in such a terrible disarray that they had to throw the ENTIRE THING into the rubbish bin. Databases are fickle beings... They don't appreciate drama... hehehe...

Another fun project. "The Legend of La Mariecomo" She was a legendary witch of south-east New Brunswick Canada, who lived from 1838 - 1910. She was like the Marie Laveaux of Canada. I learned of her while studying my Mi'kmaq and French ancestry. I think we have a few people from that area in OpenSim. If anyone knows of her story, I would love to hear from you.

There is a book that is out of print, unfortunately: La mariecomo: Roman (Collection Les Romanciers du jour ; R-112) (French Edition)

"Mariecomo is the story of an Acadian witch (born in 1838, died around 1910) who made the rain and the good weather during the second half of the 19th century in the Acadian villages of the southeast coast of New Brunswick. From Cap-Pelé to Richibouctou, it was the "country of Mariecomo" and like the other sorcerers, witches, spellcasters, fortune tellers, readers of the black books, the Little and Great Albert, the Richibouctou Tears, celebrants of black masses, white and black magic, etc., Mariecomo was part of the "sect" that the world called the "sorcerers of the Coast"."

Hello, I try to participate by mixing the useful with the pleasant, I wanted to make a gallery of people on Opensim, and I opted for a gallery on Flickr, more easily consultable. For this I need the help of all those who want to participate, without your help, the project will fail because it is about the people of Opensim. I take the photos, I try to capture something special in each of you, if you like it, and to bring out the image of a community in black and white, you have to come into the world to see the colors. Here is the beginning of the gallery. Thank you for your attention, friendly. Send me a message here or in world to help me and dont be shy :)

Hello Virtual Folks!

I seem to find it hard to find a nice Gay locations, NOPE! I don't want to hear about secondlife been there, that place is Drama! Anyways, I'm creating a region that is going to be Gay friendly also its friendly for those who just want to be friends and not discriminate! I'll add the region soon, I'm still working on it. My friend gave me some gay stuff, so I'll be adding those too.

Now, I don't want hate in my post, so please if you're not supportive of Gays thats ok! Its you're right just please move on.

You don't have to be gay to visit, just don't hate.

If you have a gay region you can add it to my post and I'll visit.

Thanks for reading! HUGS

Amber Tanaka who used to be the owner of the failed kohaku grid, and changed her name to "user name" on this forum, had this to say to me in The Box on this very page today...
"User Name 6 hours ago
@Cyberglo it is sad that u need to tel yourself that u are awesome so often. (to me u are just another brain rotten woke fagot with way too much time on his hand wasting away on this forum)"
Right next to a post by copper, who had this to say about me, "Copper 5 hours ago
Cyberglow uses this platform to compensate his mental illnesses ( he stated that often here). His "advices" are for sesam street oskar trash can"
Obviously this just proves they don't know me, because I am awesome! :)

A 100% legal, non copybotted , creator made mesh head. Boxed as an avatar base...shape, skin, eyes, head, courtesy Ruth RC3 made BOM. The skins I used a template for in part, according to the creator's license it cannot be transfer-sorry about that. You can of course use any skin or shape you want. Responds to bento animations such as smiling and blinking. No mesh eyes or AO included.
hop://hg.osgrid.org:80/Mythos/487/170/27
These heads I made from 2019 to 2021- I put a couple up an SL. They were intended as a low ARC, "Wear and go" solution without huds and scripts. I made them first for my partner who just HATES most huds. I sold them for about 400L each. People liked them but I got a lot of bizarre comments like "yeah it's really beautiful and good but I have to stay loyal to Catwa even though I like them a lot"... since opensim people seem more capable of not letting brand loyalty totally dictate their interests, they are better fitted here.

Don't sell, don't tell people you made the mesh, don't put it on SL . Please don't god mod the skin, I legitimately cannot give it transfer, if you need it for your alts bring them all in or message me and I'll just give it to you.

I hold your hand.
And as my strength begins to fade,
I reach for the hand that holds us both.
..............................................................................
Ich halte deine Hand.
Und während meine Kraft schwindet,
suche ich nach der Hand, die uns beide hält.

As i spend her final 16 hours with my lovely tuxedo cat for the past 11 & 1/2 years, I'd like to take a moment to remember her and share what a sweetheart she is, with such a distinct personality. We often called her a ninja, cuz she could be so sneaky. When a neighbor was forced to move into a place that don't allow cats, we took in a 3rd...actually the 3rd bombay black i've had in my lifetime. (not in photo). he keeps the other 2 on their toes, but they mostly just tolerate the youngster. when the youngest attacks the orange tiger kitty, she always stepped in and covered his back, swatted the youngest in the rump. She looks like a gangsta in this photo, to me, haha. I love her so much and hopefully one day I will see her again, at the Rainbow Bridge. My heart goes out to anyone that has lost a pet. They are so selfless. Anyone willing to toss her a little prayer, it would be appreciated. Thanks and be well, OpenSim.

Well, I am here to chew bubblegum and irritate the anti-AI troglodytes. And I am all out of bubblegum.

Recently, I saw someone post how people who use AI to make images are no talent morons. Fair enough. I accept that title. Mainly because...I dgaf what you think of me. However, I am always challenging this hot take.

I recently purchased Meshy to try to learn to make mesh. Yesterday, I tackled it in earnest. I had several AI apps create some images - Night Cafe, MidJourney, CoPilot, Designer. Part of a portal series I have worked on.

I asked CoPilot to alpha some of these for me. I only recently discovered it will do that. I have been doing it myself. Honestly, 90% of the time, CoPilot does a better job. I have just had to learn to talk to it.

I took one of these images and pulled it into Meshy. It is an AI image going into an AI mesh app. Meshy created a model of my portal. I pulled it down as a Blender compatible file and imported into Blender. I exported as collada.

It was a learning process. In the end, I took my original image, brightened and sharpened it, before creating the model. After I put it into blender, I got the texture map and brightened and sharpened that one, then put on that texture after upload. Attached is the portal/elemental gate I ended up with.

I used an AI image and uploaded into an AI app to do most of the editing. I changed the shading, vibrance, and sharpness in Corel. I used Blender to import /export.

I guess I am a no talent moron, not an artist. ;)

My point is: The anti-AI stance is gatekeeping of the highest form. It's absurd. Photography wasn't considered art until it was. Digital art was the same.

I really don't care if you ever consider what I do as art. Feel free not to look. And the gatekeeper is what keeps people from being creators more than anything else.

Many many thanks to Jimmy Olsen and Lavia Lavine for your coaching, patience, and teaching. Many thanks to Contessa LaCombe for her coaching and knowledge regarding texturing mesh. Many thanks to Lone Wolf for making that video that took away much of the fear of trying for me. It takes a community. Many thanks to everyone who encourages me to keep trying, failing, and trying again.

I posted in the forum today some thoughts about Age Verification and OpenSim wondering what you guys are doing with it.

Age Verification strategies for OpenSimulator and the HG
Since there are 24 US states and the UK requiring age verification it seems this is going to inevitably change the way OpenSimulator functions. Denying it, protesting, waiting for it to go away, or saying it's impossible - won't last long in my opinion. I think the EU will probably follow suit with laws.

I personally think Geofencing is boo-boo and doesn't work. Right now you'd have to block half the USA and all of the UK and then comes EU. Might as well just unplug and go home I guess.

So i'm thinking about what I need to do on my grids. Here are the strategy/rules i've been thinking about and would love feedback.

post and code stuffs

Welcome to the Opensim Public Library - Homelandz branch! Pop in from time to time to get actual, readable, full books, for free! Turning pages, rez or wear as HUD! Full perm so feel free to play mad scientist, create your own books, etc!

Note: The script is incredibly basic for version 1. You can "add" and it attaches to center of your screen. Enlarge/resize as need be, for larger print, easier to read.
Any kind souls from the community willing to improve and/or expand the script, more than welcome to send revisions and we will update all items as we go. Ideas of improvements include: -backward turning of pages (mistakes happen), skip to specific page number, bookmark a page to save progress, and, most importantly, converting the script to read pictures 2 at a time, from the inventory, rather than the UUID, which wants to read 2 pages images (image with 2 full pages per picture). Doing so would reduce time to make a book from days/hours, to minutes/seconds...by skipping the step of screen shotting 2 page per image, and also skipping step of programming uuid into script. (unless anyone knows of a pdf converter that will save single page images into 2 pages per 1 image?)

***Sorry, won't be offering support nor taking requests...this release took not just hours but days based upon the way this primitive script works.

Good News! The Amazing Device works! I've put a final revision of the script on this site under the scripts forum at the top of the page. If you can't see it use this link: https://opensimworld.com/library?viewcode=196&raw=1&sid=14...

DEAR PEOPLE WITH BROKEN OARS AND IARS. Take them to grid.wolfterritories.org and ask Lone Wolf to help you. He has made a system that can REPAIR your iar and oar by seeking the same UUID object from other grids databases and inject the fixed one into your IAR or OAR. This means that in most cases you get ALL OF YOUR INVENTORY AND OAR BACK. Wolf territories also stores their assets in an object format like instagram and youtube do that serve millions customers worldwide. They have for example 30 robust servers running all the time with load balancing, which means no more lost assets. I hope this helps you all. ** Note, I may be mistaken that it is off of the UUID - as I am not privy to the tech Lone invented. That was just my first guess. Saccw pointed out that uuid's are assigned randomly to new items and he/she is correct. So it seems I made an assumption without thinking about it much. Apologies. I should further clarify that Lone is not attempting to capitalize off of osgrid's misfortune. I posted this post without his knowledge and then told him about the post I made. See so many people are asking Lone to recover their iar's and oar's that it's a lot of work for him to sit there and personally upload the file, and use his tech to fix it, and then give it back to the person. Lone's grid is a land rental grid, and the whole process is much easier if the oar and iar are already on the system, think bandwidth and server cost, not to mention personal time.

!!!Gridnews!!!
Auf uns kommt da was zu, der Gridserver hat sich zwecks Festplattenüberprüfung gemeldet, befürchte einen Knacks. Das heißt Umzug auf neuen Server und Downtime. Mein Gedanke geht darin, die 2 auf einen doppelt so großen modernen Server zusammenzulegen.
Ich sage es euch ehrlich, da kommt was auf uns zu, bzw auf mich. Ist eine ziemliche Menge an Daten
Stress, da ich lieber nicht allzu lange warten will und für einen Monat höhere Kosten, wegen doppelter Miete, später dafür günstiger.
Ich schreibe auch alle anderen persönlich an, die es betrifft.
Neues Maschinchen ist spätestens morgen da.
Dann geht es folgendermaßen los:
1. Betriebsystemupdates
2. Umzug aller Regionen vorerst ankoppeln an den "alten Server"
3. Runterfahren der alten Server und Kopieren und aktivieren der rübergschaufelten Griddatenbank. Wegen der Größe kann das eine 3-4 tägige Downtime bedeuten, wahrscheinlich aber erheblich schneller.
4. Domainumzug und einrichten des Webinterfaces.
5. Hochfahren mit Gridservices und Regionen, Abschluss der Arbeiten.

!!!Grid News!!!
Something is coming our way, the grid server has reported to check the hard drive, I fear a crack. That means moving to a new server and downtime. My idea is to merge the 2 into a modern server twice the size.
I'll tell you honestly, something is coming our way, or me. Is quite a lot of data
Stress, because I prefer not to wait too long and higher costs for one month because of double the rent, later cheaper.
I am also writing to everyone else personally who is affected.
New machine will be there by tomorrow at the latest.
Then it starts like this:
1. Operating system updates
2. Relocation of all regions initially connect to the "old server"
3. Shutting down the old servers and copying and activating the migrated grid database. Because of the size, this can mean a 3-4 day downtime, but probably much faster.
4. Domain transfer and setting up the web interface.
5. Start up with gridservices and regions, work done.

well i am now facing the wrath of Priscilla.Kleenex login.twistedgrid.xyz:8002 , that's the latest avatar. I dont know what her plans are but she was at my Woodstock and university today.

it looks like she is just copying items, not sure what she was doing in university, I was afk and cant see server end as that's in another grid.

update: also what is with these profiles that comment on some ones post and then u click thee name and says user not found?

fyi i dont mind people taking free stuff, but this post was to say she isn't doing her usual behavior for a griefer.

Tired of people coming to ur SIM/region/parcel just for copying stuffs? After u had a loot of work on doing it and all u see is.... avatars with arm stretched copying from A to Z? So the "COPY MY ASS" 3D sign is perfect for u.. Available for FREE and FULL PERM! Enjoy :)

Hi there Kleenex (Waves). I'm so sorry that Google maps can only zoom in so far. But I can see you wheepin', so I'm giving you a wave. Are you sure you want to continue on that road?

Edit:
As kindly pointed out by @misty_falls: No names mentioned here, no IP, no MAC, just an image of a neighborhood that would be familiar only to trolls.

Pay attention because there will be a quiz. There are five tree houses in Tree House Park. Five! Come visit Tree House Park where we have, count them, five tree houses. Spoiler Alert: The park has a Tree House Car Bar and a Bird House Tree House. How cool is that? OK, here's the quiz. How many tree houses are here in Tree House Park?

Nach dem Anschlag auf dem CSD in Berlin.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschlag_auf_den_Berliner_Ch...
Ich trauere mit den Opfern und Angehörigen dieser grausamen Tat.

Botschaft an alle Rechtswähler:
Also, ich bin links, aber nicht bei den Linken. Ich bin transsexuell und liebe die Farben des Regenbogens.

Und nun die Schockmeldung für euch. Ich bin gegen Einwanderung in dem Maße wo es unmöglich wird die Migranten zu begleiten, zu betreuen. Erstaufnahme bei Flüchtlingen in Not, keine Frage, selbstverständlich. Abschiebung krimineller Ausländer? Aber sicher, nur nicht bevor sie wie jeder andere Straftäter ihre Strafe abgesessen haben. Alles andere würde einem Freispruch gleichkommen.

Gehört der Islam nach Deutschland? Erstmal als Religion grundsätzlich ja, wie eben auch unsere christlichen Kirchen. Radikale Gewaltbereiche Mitglieder innerhalb dieser Gruppen gehören unter Beobachtung und gestoppt. Aber das unabhängig von Religion oder Herkunft.

Oh, jetzt kommt es. Ich stehe zur Antifa, aber verabscheue Gewalt. Was meint ihr strammen Rechtswähler, das geht doch gar nicht, passt nicht? Passt sehr gut. Antifa ist keine geschlossene Organisation mit Parteiprogramm oder ähnlichem. Zunächst einmal in Langform: "Antifaschistische Aktion", das bedeutet Diskussionen, auch Demonstrationen, politisch gegen faschistische Strömungen arbeiten. Gewalt? Da die Antifa eben keine in sich geschlossene Organisation ist, gibt es da auch bedauerlicherweise Gruppierungen autonomer gewaltbereiter Akteure, die sich mit dem Antifa-Logo schmücken. Macht uns das dann alle gleich zu einer linksextremen Terrorgruppe? Ihr könnt ja mal darüber nachdenken...

After the attack at the Christopher Street Day parade in Berlin.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschlag_auf_den_Berliner_Ch...
I mourn with the victims and their families of this horrific act.

A message to all right-wing voters:
So, I'm left-wing, but not with the Left Party. I'm transgender and I love the colors of the rainbow.

And now for the shocking news. I'm against immigration to the extent that it becomes impossible to support and care for migrants. Initial reception for refugees in need, no question, of course. Deportation of criminal foreigners? Absolutely, but not before they've served their sentence like any other offender. Anything else would be tantamount to an acquittal.

Does Islam belong in Germany? First of all, as a religion, yes, just like our Christian churches. Radical groups and their members should be monitored and stopped. But that's regardless of religion or origin.

Oh, here it comes. I support Antifa, but I abhor violence. What do you staunch right-wing voters think? That's completely unacceptable, doesn't fit? It fits perfectly. Antifa isn't a closed organization with a party platform or anything like that. First of all, in full: "Antifascist Action," which means discussions, including demonstrations, working politically against fascist movements. Violence? Since Antifa isn't a closed organization, there are unfortunately also groups of autonomous, violence-prone actors who adorn themselves with the Antifa logo. Does that automatically make us all a left-wing extremist terrorist group? You can think about that for a moment...

Froggie Prince and Froggie Princess are hopelessly in love, sharing every adventure together—from enchanted forests and hidden ponds to magical kingdoms beyond imagination.

They are being offered as a couple, because some hearts simply belong together.
