GRAND OPENING of OSHBC!

In an effort to try to get the BDSM/Fetish community together in Opensimulator, we created this region based roughly on the SL HBC sim. This is to help people migrating from SL to Opensim to have a familiar place so they feel more comfortable transitioning to Opensimulator.

The region has several play areas, and a main meeting area for people interested in BDSM/Fetish lifestyle to meet up and find other like minded people.

NOTE:

I know BDSM / Fetish is something many people disagree with, and everyone is entitled to their opinion - but please - we ask that everyone keep negative comments out of the feed. It doesn't look good for the Opensim Community at large when people thinking of migrating from SL to Opensimulator see a bunch of negative remarks. Everyone has something they like and/or dislike, just like the BDSM/Fetish community doesn't negatively comment on what other people enjoy, let's afford the same courtesy to this community.

Now, more on the region:

The region has several areas available and is ADULT ONLY! We will ask any child avatars etc.. to leave the area or change to an appropriate adult avatar -

"The Yard"

This is the main hangout area where people can meet up, chat, hang out, and play.

"The Lobby"

Another hangout area with some BDSM toys etc.. for people to use at their leisure.

"The Cellar"

This area is a lounge with several seating areas as well as some gaming tables for people that like that and some private rooms for people to interact together privately uninterrupted.

"Shop" (under construction - approx. open date - 03/13/2026)

This area will have BDSM/Fetish related content that is free for all.

"Collared Dance Club"

We will be holding dances weekly here (we have to determine the best time / day for this)

"Cage Room"

Exactly what it says - a cage room for anyone who wishes to use it or play.

"Rubber Lounge" (under construction - approx. open date - 03/13/2026)

This area will be for those interested in Rubber Fetish (latexdolls, etc..).

We sincerely hope this area will help those from the BDSM/Fetish community come together. We frequently find people asking "where they can meet other BDSM/Fetish" people so hopefully this will fit the bill.

Trash Day at Gracie & Dexter’s Community Dump!

The dump trucks are lining up and new treasures are arriving today.

Fresh piles of wonderfully odd, creative, and delightfully questionable contributions are being added throughout the day. If you enjoy digging through the unexpected, today is the perfect day to visit.

Have something fun, silly, or gloriously “Poor Quality” to contribute? Toss it on the heap and let the community enjoy it.

Stop by and see what the trucks brought in today.
At Gracie & Dexter’s Community Dump, one person’s scrap becomes another person’s treasure. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Gracie and Dexter's Community Dump

Gianni bleibt Cool

Hier landen alle, die wissen, dass ein Gianni‑Avatar nicht einfach nur angezogen wird – er wird inszeniert. Unser Shop ist der Treffpunkt für alle, die sportlich, cool und lässig unterwegs sind, aber trotzdem Wert auf Stil legen. Keine steifen Regeln, keine Mode‑Predigten, nur Outfits, die aussehen, als hätten sie den Begriff ‚locker‘ persönlich erfunden.

Unsere Kollektionen sind für Avatare gemacht, die sich bewegen, tanzen, feiern, flirten – und dabei immer so wirken, als hätten sie den Dresscode selbst geschrieben. Sportlich heißt bei uns nicht langweilig, und leger heißt nicht lieblos. Es heißt: Du siehst gut aus, ohne dich dafür anstrengen zu müssen.

Und ja – für die Kostüm‑Fans haben wir auch etwas im Gepäck. Manchmal braucht ein Avatar eben mehr als nur Style. Manchmal braucht er… eine Mission. Ein Ritual. Eine Predigt der Coolness. Wer sagt denn, dass ein Priester‑Look nicht genauso viel Spaß machen kann wie ein Hoodie? Bei uns darf Mode auch mal Theater sein.

Egal, ob du deinen Gianni für den Alltag, die Party, das Date oder die nächste verrückte Event‑Nacht ausstattest – hier findest du Outfits, die Persönlichkeit zeigen. Nicht laut, nicht aufdringlich, aber mit genug Haltung, um im Grid nicht unterzugehen.

Also: Rein in den Shop, raus aus dem Standard. Dein Avatar hat Stil verdient – und du weißt genau, wo du ihn findest.“

In the hidden layers of Samsara, the ocean stirs with a quiet shift.

The familiar tunnel remains where it has always been, yet something within it has awakened.
Colors move differently now, currents carry a deeper memory, and the silence feels alive, as if listening.
Light coils around the traveler in slow spirals, guiding them through a realm that breathes beneath the surface.

The passage has not changed in form, but in spirit, becoming a threshold into the older rhythms of Samsara, a place where every movement echoes through cycles that never truly end.

I made a lightweight region module that exposes an HTTP endpoint on each region server returning full texture data for any prim by UUID. Returns diffuse, normal, and specular map UUIDs per face as JSON, suitable for consumption by PHP, Python, or any HTTP client.

Does not return PBR textures but that's just a bit of extra work if you want those in the JSON array.

example:

Array
(
[prim_uuid] => ea2d31d5-be84-4238-8b63-9736b4d59619

Habe eben einen zweiten Debianserver bestellt, der dann lediglich für die Backups zuständig ist.
I just ordered a second Debian server, which will then be solely responsible for backups.
Sobald er verfügbar ist Folgendes:


1. Grundinstallation prüfen
• Debian aktuell
• SSH sicher
• keine unnötigen Dienste
2. Backup-Ziel vorbereiten
• Benutzer nur für Backups
• Speicherstruktur sauber anlegen
• Zugriffsrechte korrekt setzen

3. Borg-Repository einrichten
• verschlüsselt
• stabil
• bereit für automatische Rotation

4. Verbindung vom Grid-Server testen
• SSH-Key
• erster Test-Backup
• Wiederherstellung probeweise prüfen

Erst, wenn alles sauber funktioniert,
kommt der letzte Schritt:

5. Vollautomatik nachts per Cron
→ komplett selbstständig
→ kein Eingreifen nötig
→ ruhige, sichere Backups für Dorenas World.


As soon as it's available, here's what I'll do:

1. Check the basic installation
• Debian up to date
• Secure SSH
• No unnecessary services
2. Prepare the backup destination
• Users dedicated to backups
• Create a clean storage structure
• Set access rights correctly

3. Set up the Borg repository
• Encrypted
• Stable
• Ready for automatic rotation

4. Test the connection from the Grid server
• SSH key
• First test backup
• Test the restore process

Only when everything is working perfectly will I proceed to the final step:

5. Full automation at night via cron
→ Completely autonomous
→ No intervention required
→ Quiet, secure backups for Dorena's World.

⭐ Die Tweenster sind zurück – und die Style Rebels übernehmen die Bühne!

Frech, laut und voller Energie: Die Tweenster droppen 12 brandneue Outfits, die jedem kleinen Style Rebel das perfekte Upgrade verpassen. Farben, Muster, Attitüde – alles auf Maximum.

Diese Kollektion macht keine halben Sachen. Sie ist wild, mutig und genau das Richtige für Kids, die ihren eigenen Look feiern.

Jetzt im Shop – bereit für die nächste Style‑Rebel‑Runde.

What are your plans for March? Ditching Discord? I built C# bridge between Matrix and OpenSim. A grid user can create a group as normal then optionally connect it to Matrix server. I built an invite link thingy like Discord works. Matrix Users and OpenSim Grid users chat and it all shows up in Matrix (And the group chat inworld in the viewer). The profile pics and av names sync up automagically. I use Element web (and the phone app) but you can use any matrix client you want. So it's interactive.

not sure if anyone wants this feature, if so i'll post it on the ethers. if you don't or can't build OpenSim from source you probably won't use it. :)

Reborn und Waifu - neue Outfits zum verlieben

Reborn hat die Garderobe wieder einmal großzügig aufgefüllt: Acht neue Outfits sind eingezogen, und sechs davon stehen auch der Waifu so gut, dass sie vermutlich schon heimlich Selfies macht.

Die Auswahl reicht vom beinahe‑nicht‑vorhandenen Microbikini bis zum Abendkleid, das beim Betreten des Raums automatisch einen leichten Windstoß verlangt.

Kurz: Ein kleines Modespektakel für alle, die gern zwischen ‚frech‘ und ‚fabelhaft‘ wechseln.“

OpenSimulator ActivityPub Bridge - A lightweight, database-driven ActivityPub implementation designed for OpenSimulator grids, with first-class support for system actors, groups, and federated posting without requiring OpenSim C# modules, sidecars, or viewer changes.

This project focuses on simplicity, deployability, and compatibility with existing OpenSim + MariaDB setups. (should also work with MySQL if you run the oracle software)

Tested with Forte v26.2.4, Streams v26.2.10, Hubzilla v11.0 (but should work with any AP capable software like Mastodon, Lemmy, etc)

It will verify RFC 9421 sigs if used by remote, but this software only signs with Cavage / V1 signatures.

At this stage it posts group notifications to the social web. It has the capability to inbox/outbox messages for grid users however not yet implemented until I decide on a intuitive way to do it.
