migration begins! after about a year of running we're making some changes to assetd server. originally it stored assets in ipfs and kept local zstd compressed files on each region server. this burned up alot of drive space and 10 years down the road just isn't sustainable. So I'm getting rid of ipfs and storing all assets in s3 bucket. assetd pulls the assets on request, fixes broken ones if needed. with squid cache between assetd and opensim things are much faster. squid keeps current assets in ram for fast loading and stores less active assets in an optimized file structure. we can adjust the levels to increase ram and drive cache. i'm currently moving 2,583,234 assets into s3 bucket. after that's complete we just need to restart the grid, shouldn't be any downtime during the transfer though. on dev server assets load super fast. so we hope to have a better experience on holoneon grid in the next few days.

Hello to all Hypergrid residents: Over the past week, Shofia and I have been working to launch a yard market this Sunday, featuring wonderful items to decorate your homes, gardens, and anything else you like. We’ve curated a selection of the pieces we’ve gathered, items that Shofia, with her exquisite taste, has been showcasing to us.
The yard market is open all day today, Sunday, September 13th. Shofia and I will be there as much as possible to assist you with whatever you need. Come on by and enjoy a Sunday at the market—browse the stalls, pick up some great items, and grab a cold beer while chatting with friends. Also, for those interested, we’ve add a stall open if you’d like to contribute a piece of your own.
We look forward to seeing you in Barcelona!

🖤 WE ARE BACK — SUBTERRANEA 🖤
You thought we were gone?
😂 Cute.
We’ve been hiding UNDERGROUND, charging the speakers, feeding the demons and arguing over who gets the better tunes.
This time we're bringing DJ Chocolate & Adrian Moon together for a proper subterranean takeover — and this one is all about NU DISCO. 🪩🔥
🍫 DJ CHOCOLATE — 11AM → 1PM
🌙 ADRIAN MOON — 1PM → 3PM
Expect funky basslines, disco grooves, shimmering synths, dirty little edits, deep house flavours and enough groove to make even the furniture start dancing. 🪩😂
Basically... disco went underground, got darker, got sexier and found a bassline.
📍 SUBTERRANEA

Come for the music.
Stay because you’ve forgotten where the exit is. 😂
🖤 NU DISCO • DEEP GROOVES • UNDERGROUND ENERGY

✨ XARA – Glamour mit einem frechen Funkeln ✨

Diese vier Ladies stehen da, als hätten sie gerade beschlossen, die ganze Stadt in eine persönliche Bühne zu verwandeln. Ihre Outfits? XARA pur – selbstbewusst, charmant, ein bisschen unverschämt und absolut bereit, jedes Schaufensterlicht in Konkurrenz zu schicken. Zwischen glänzendem Asphalt und Abendhimmel wirken sie wie eine kleine Gang, die genau weiß: Wenn wir auftauchen, wird’s glamourös.

Und natürlich hat jede ihren eigenen Charakter – von „Ich bin die Ruhe vor dem Fashion‑Sturm“ bis „Ich bin der Sturm“. Ein Hauch Drama, ein Schuss Humor, und so viel Stil, dass selbst die Straßenlaternen kurz überlegen, ob sie heller leuchten sollten. XARA zeigt hier nicht nur Mode, sondern Attitüde: Glamour, der Spaß macht.

Techno and Trance Vibes with Dj Adriana Darkheart & Dj Adrian Moon

Tumbletwig — created for a little bit of wonder. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002/TUMBLETWIG/283/200/21

„Reborn“ – ein Abend, an dem Stoffe Geschichten erzählen.

Diese Kollektion spielt mit Licht und Bewegung, als hätte jedes Kleid beschlossen, seine eigene Bühne zu betreten. Kein lautes Drama, sondern leise Eleganz, die sich selbst genügt. Die Farben wirken wie ein Gespräch zwischen Mut und Stil – und genau das macht sie lebendig.

Man spürt, dass hier niemand versucht, zu gefallen. Die Outfits tun einfach, was sie wollen: glänzen, fließen, auffallen – aber mit Haltung. Ein bisschen Ironie liegt in der Luft, als wollten sie sagen: „Ja, wir sind schön, aber wir wissen auch, dass das nicht alles ist.“

🪶 Gianni – Stil mit Charakter

Hier trifft Mode auf Persönlichkeit: Gianni bringt frischen Wind in den Kleiderschrank – ganz ohne übertriebene Posen. Ob lässig rebellisch, charmant verspielt oder einfach cool mit einem Augenzwinkern – diese Outfits zeigen, dass Stil keine Frage des Perfektionismus ist, sondern der Haltung.

Ein bisschen Freigeist, ein bisschen Humor und jede Menge Selbstbewusstsein – das ist Gianni. Für alle, die lieber auffallen, weil sie sie selbst sind, statt weil sie sich verkleiden. Und ja, barfuß in den Bergen sieht man hier einfach besser aus.
