There are lots of OpenSim users with top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art machines with a high-end Nvidia gaming graphics card running Windows 11 who complain about Firestorm 7 being terribly slow. In comparison with Firestorm 6 even.

I have hardware that was upper-mid-range in 2018 with AMD graphics running Debian GNU/Linux. I've got nothing to complain about how Firestorm 7 is performing. (Of course, literally nobody here will believe me.)

This either means that I've hit a sweet spot in combining hardware and software. And that the combination of a top-range Intel i9 CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Ti and Windows 11 is actually objectively slower than the combination of an eight-year-old six-core AMD Ryzen CPU, and AMD Radeon RX 590 and Debian. At least when running Firestorm.

Or this means that everyone else considers a two-digit frame rate a slideshow whereas I've happily capped my frame rate at 30.

What I can comprehend even less is that single-threaded Firestorm 6 is supposed to be faster than multi-threaded Firestorm 7 on a CPU with 12, 16, 24 or more threads.

💥 ATHENA MACHT’S AUF IHRE ART – UND ZWAR MIT AUGENZWINKERN

Athena trägt ihre Outfits nicht einfach – sie führt sie aus. Mal mit der Eleganz einer Diva, mal mit der Frechheit einer Frau, die genau weiß, dass alle hinschauen… und es genießt. Ihr Stil bewegt sich irgendwo zwischen „Ich bin Kunst“ und „Ich bin das Chaos, vor dem dich deine Mutter gewarnt hat“ – und genau das macht sie so unwiderstehlich.

Ob glamourös, verführerisch oder rebellisch lässig: Athena schafft es, dass jedes Outfit plötzlich nach „Signature Look“ aussieht. Sie stolziert nicht, sie schwebt. Sie posiert nicht, sie regiert. Und während andere noch versuchen, Trends zu folgen, hat sie längst den nächsten erfunden – aus Versehen, beim Vorbeigehen.

✨ Dein Style-Update in der Little City! ✨

Bist du bereit, in MiraclesWelt so richtig aufzufallen? Unsere brandneue Kollektion ist in der Little City eingetroffen und sie wartet nur darauf, von dir getragen zu werden!

Egal, ob du den perfekten Look für das nächste Community-Event suchst oder einfach nur stylisch durch die Straßen schlendern willst – wir haben das passende Piece für dich.

However, our teleport boards are down along with 2 regions.

Please use the maps or hg links until we can resolve these 2 issues. it might take a few times via the map to get to regions.

Thank you all that tried to help me with the Apache issue.

We will fix these issues as soon as we can

MazebzOS_AVX2-1-0-0-260580347 SPECIAL release
Ok in this one I did something super special to the terrain floater.
I added spinners for size of the yellow selection box and xy is the bottom left hand coordinate to place it. You can now do borders super easy with a box at 0,0 and the size being 1 wide and 1024 long...or you can make perfect square parcels in moments all the same exact size.....picture below.
Thank you to all who have been tracing bugs keep it up!

THANKS TO RIO FENIX for the idea!

im not sure what happened, but those who received my Japanese Textures please come get them again. I set them to full perm and i looked at them today and the wood ones were transfer only. I have since set them again to full perm. I do apologize to anyone who came to get them. It has been corrected.

Also, i have put out boxes for those who want or need them. The bottom of the display are boxed, the ones on the wall are still "folders". Again, i apologize.

here's a map of 256 regions 1024x1024 m each terraformed by ai. with the landscaper module it can be done rapidly i made a separate map tile generator that makes 256pixel square tiles rgba 8bit but looking at changing to 16bit and maybe half-res depending on VRAM usage. the 8bit rgba use about 64mb i suppose. switching to 16bit grayscale will go up to 96mb unless i go half-res. tinker time.. :)

I wanted to share a quick update for those of you who follow my artwork and have joined NightCafe through my links or recommendations over the years.

NightCafe has recently made some major changes to their pricing and credit system. These changes significantly affect how premium members can use the platform, and I’m currently evaluating what this means for my workflow moving forward.

I’ve always been transparent with my community, and I want to continue that now. I’m exploring other platforms and weighing my options to make sure I’m using tools that respect both creators and the people who support them.

No matter what platform becomes my main home, I’ll still be creating and sharing my work. Thank you all for your support, your encouragement, and your creativity — it means more than you know.

I’ll keep you updated as I navigate this shift.

Coming "soon" to Sub-Version.Space grid: The Seelie Paths

This is planned to be an art installation with a full musical production that can be listened to while reading about the characters and lore.

In the meantime the music and lore can be read about at https://www.glenysbieler.com/the-seelie-paths/

In the mythical world of Fantasia, the beauty between Nature and humankind is often intermingled in the form of dryads and tree elves, beings who embody the delicate harmony between root and soul. Dryads, bound to ancient trunks and whispering groves, carry an unmistakably human grace in their expressions and emotions, while tree elves move with the fluid stillness of wind through leaves. Together, they represent a living bridge between two worlds—one of soil and sap, the other of thought and longing. In their presence, the forest does not feel separate from humanity but rather like an extension of it, as though every heartbeat echoes the rhythm of rustling branches overhead.

This mingling of forms is most visible at twilight, when tree elves walk along moss-covered paths and dryads emerge from the bark of silver birches, their fingers brushing the hands of human wanderers without fear. In Fantasia, such encounters are not rare legends but quiet truths: humans who listen closely begin to understand the language of leaves, while dryads and tree elves learn compassion, curiosity, and hope from humankind. The result is a shared beauty—neither wholly wild nor wholly civilized—where laughter sounds like birdsong and wisdom grows as steadily as the trees themselves.

AHOY, YE LANDLUBBERS!

This afternoon, at the ungodly hour of 12:30 PM PST / 9:30 PM CET, the cannons shall BOOM, KABOOM, and possibly go PEW-PEW in the legendary Catronian Archipelago! It's Celyddon Navy ships versus fearless privateers — basically the world's most dramatic game of sailing boats, but with more explosions and significantly less safety

YOU can be part of this glorious chaos! Fancy yourself a captain? Grab the wheel and try not to crash into anything important. More of a "point and shoot" kind of person? Hop on as a gunner and unleash your inner toddler-with-a-toy-cannon energy. Or, if commitment terrifies you, just show up as a spectator and pretend you knew what was going on the whole time.

We'll be waiting for you — and please, for the love of all things nautical, show up a little early. The cannons wait for no one.

Viele neue Outfits für XARA bei BK-Mode

Xara zeigt wieder einmal, wie vielseitig Stil sein kann, wenn man ihn einfach lebt. Mal elegant, mal verspielt, mal mit einem Hauch „Ich weiß genau, was ich tue“ – und immer mit dieser mühelosen Selbstverständlichkeit, die Mode erst richtig spannend macht.

Bei BK‑Mode geht es nicht darum, sich zu verkleiden. Es geht darum, sich zu zeigen. Und Xara macht vor, wie das aussieht, wenn man’s mit einem Augenzwinkern und einer Portion Attitude trägt.

Turn up your Monday.

Step into Subterranea Club in Advantis and feel how electronic music can reset your energy for the week.

Crafted with graceful intertwining gold, Spring’s Promise cradles a deep emerald like new life rising from winter’s hush.

Now check out this little beauty!! It's a lamp that is two lovers dancing in front of a heart shaped moon, ahh but there is more; it is also musical and plays some very sweet love songs. So, lights, camera, action and create your very own gorgeous love adventure with this beautiful lamp by yours truly! You will find it in the Holidays & Season's section of the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

n Jahr voller „Das mache ich nächstes Jahr anders“,
„Zum Glück ist das vorbei“
und „Wow, das habe ich wirklich überlebt“ liegt hinter uns.

Zeit, das Chaos zu feiern, aus den guten Momenten Kraft zu ziehen
und die weniger guten mit Humor im alten Jahr zu lassen.
Lasst uns gemeinsam lachen, anstoßen, ein bisschen nachdenken
und dann mutig (oder zumindest optimistisch) ins neue Jahr stolpern.

Denn egal, was kommt:
Mit guten Menschen, ehrlichen Gesprächen und einem Glas in der Hand
fühlt sich all

Einen Guten Rutsch ins Jahr 2026.
Für das Neue Jahr wünsche ich euch von Herzen ganz viel Gesundheit, Glück sowie viel Power um neues zu erschaffen. Natürlich auch einen tolle Zeit in OpenSim und ganz viel Spaß dabei.

Happy New Year 2026!

For the New Year, I wish you all the best of health, happiness, and lots of energy to create new things. And of course, I hope you have a great time in OpenSim and lots of fun!

Felice Anno Nuovo 2026!

Per il nuovo anno, vi auguro tutto il meglio: salute, felicità e tanta energia per creare cose nuove. E, naturalmente, vi auguro un fantastico divertimento con OpenSim!

¡Feliz Año Nuevo 2026!

Para el Año Nuevo, les deseo mucha salud, felicidad y mucha energía para crear cosas nuevas. Y, por supuesto, ¡espero que se diviertan mucho en OpenSim!

SkyRealm embraces Spacetime. A complex and fascinating subject, and it continues to be an area of active research. The insights that have been gained from relativity have revolutionized our understanding of the universe, and they continue to challenge our intuition.

Fred Beckhusen-Ferd Frederix Thank you, for lending a hand in this project. Fred took a model with over 800 parts then used Blender modifiers to clean edges, and a script that helped to reduce the level of detail. He made it six layers of over a hundred parts each then stacked it on top of the mountain. Without Fred's help and guidance, this would not have been possible. Sincerely thank you, Fred.

Gianni tritt nicht ein, er setzt ein Ausrufezeichen.
Mal glatt wie ein perfekt geplanter Schachzug, mal so provokant entspannt, dass man sich fragt, ob Selbstbewusstsein eigentlich messbar ist.

Legacy dagegen spielt nicht mit — er übernimmt.
Ein Hauch Rebellion, ein Funken Unberechenbarkeit, und genug Charisma, um jede Szene in eine kleine Machtdemonstration zu verwandeln.

Vier neue Outfits, vier verschiedene Arten, die Aufmerksamkeit zu kapern:
nicht höflich, nicht leise, sondern so, wie BK es liebt —
mit Stil, mit Kante und mit der klaren Botschaft:
Wer hier auftaucht, hinterlässt Spuren.

EINZIGARTIGER SOUND: Ein Set von Hellkiss ist mehr als eine Playlist. Es ist eine sorgfältig kuratierte Reise durch die Genres, gespickt mit eigenen Edits und einer unverwechselbaren, dunklen Note
