A newly discovered supernova can be watched as it develops in real-time, online and for free.

This particular galaxy and supernova can be difficult to view in the night sky without the right conditions or telescope, however. Luckily, the Virtual Telescope Project will livestream the cosmic explosion on its website and YouTube channel as it develops via its power robotic telescopes based in Rome, Italy. The online event will kick off at 6:30 p.m. EDT (2230 GMT) on Friday, May 26 2023. Note that this event is weather dependent and could be delayed or cancelled due to poor conditions. https://www.space.com/new-supernova-pinwheel-galaxy-livest...

What to do if you missed out on vivox voice? Well. There is a free program for windows/linux/mac called mumble. It has 2 parts. a program that you run as a small server, and a program that you run as a client. Mumble currently supports over 30 games, including such games as call of duty with an overlay plugin. An overlay plugin is not yet developed for opensimulator, however... Here are the instructions to do that if you want a game overlay plugin for opensimulator. https://www.mumble.info/documentation/developer/positional...
BUT you don't have to do all that. You can just run the mumble server, then you and your friends can download the mumble client on their mac, linux box, or windows pc, and they can easily connect to your mumble server. Once everyone is on your mumble server they can type chat to each other, or talk voice to each other over their microphone. The game overlay part just adds additional features to the game, so that it appears your voice is coming from a specific location, rather than being ubiquitous. If you have any questions on how to set up your own private voice server, please msg me, and I will help you. :)

Ok I have a question for the users who read these posts. This region is clothing for Athena rigged clothing and I was wondering how many of you would be interested in my also releasing the same designs for the Legacy body?? If there is enough intrest for the legacy outfits I will start getting the textures etc ready and do some legacy releases as well as the ongoing Athena releases.

Thank you @JupiterRowland for bringing to my attention that I included my MashUp OSW beacon in the recent OAR I gave out to the Outworldz DreamGrid community. Those that have that OAR can you please do me a huge favor and delete the OSW Beacon that was included in the MashUp OAR you have. Then restart your sims. It would be greatly appreciated. I have updated the OAR and Fred will get it in the updater soon. I apologize for that oversight. Thanks again, Jupiter!

Presenting the OVERWATCH SENTRY. What does it do? Well, you can enter a list of grids to ban, people to ban by name, ip, or key. It also monitors each person that comes into your sim, and if they are wearing too many scripts to try and crash your sim, it bans them. If they are using too much sim memory and eating up all system resources, it bans them. If they are flying and you turn off flying in the system, it bans them. If they are too tall or too short, it bans them. So it does a lot, and it's all settable by you. I didn't do ban by age because avatar age is unreliable and can return a 0 day age. The device is by the christmas tree at cyberdatastorm.com:8002/wizardry. It's a different kind of device from a security system. Security systems ban everyone except those you allow in. This lets everybody in - but it checks them to make sure they are not hacking or trying to hurt your sim, but it can also ban people from a list. It's really simple to use, just add the name to the appropriate list in the objects inventory, then just click to turn it on. Only the owner can turn it on or off.

Wenn Riegel fallen von den Herzen,
wenn wir auch seh’n des Nachbarn Schmerzen,
wenn Worte kleiner als die Tat,
wenn Seele ohne Stacheldraht,
wenn Liebe einen Namen kennt,
dann, liebe Freunde, ist Advent!

Yippi, heute ist es soweit. Wir haben den ersten Dezember und nun beginnt die schönste Zeit des Jahres – die Adventszeit! Passend dazu öffnen wir heute das erste Türchen vom Adventskalender. Seid ihr bereit? 24 Türchen wird es nun jeden Tag auf Tosca zu öffnen geben.

Bald ist es soweit - noch einmal schlafen, dann startet - wie jedes Jahr - der Adventskalender auf Eternal Ice.
Alle Geschenke sind von ihrem jeweiligen Tag bis zur Entfernung des Adventskalenders erhältlich- es gibt also keinen Zeitdruck, jeden Tag nach dem Kalender sehen zu "müssen", um kein Geschenk zu verpassen ...
* * *
Soon it will be time - sleep once more, then - like every year - the advent calendar on Eternal Ice will start.
All gifts are available from their respective day until the Advent calendar is removed- so there is no need to check the calendar every day to not miss a gift....

*** HEDGE SEASONAL PACK *** AVAILABLE FOR FREE AND FULL PERM AT BOX 07 at GARDEN AREA! Change all hedges rezed over your parcel/SIM by a single click in menu, using 1 script only!!! Leaves have also a very smooth animation!
P.S - HEDGE SEASONAL is inside the HEDGE MEGAPACK BOX;
PS1. Seasonal textures and script included!

Enjoy :)

Amoa Nude Beach has been re-opened.

No one was banned, but due to all the issues and repercussions related to emotionally disturbed idiots griefing regions and grids over the past couple of weeks, changes made across grids caused issues with performance at Amoa Nude Beach.

To slow the influx of so many IM's letting me know the beach was a lag monster crawling at a massively slow pace, I shut the region down until it was resolved.

All group members were sent a notice regarding the issue, however if the half that would actually read it, may have never received it.

Again, our apologies for the inconvenience and much thanks to grid owners Huga and Gabe of Barefoot-Dreamers grid as well as Fred Buckenhausen for his assistance as well in improving the performance and helping restore the best and only nude beach on the hypergrid.

Have u been attacked by Priscilla Kleenex with prim-made penises? Did ur SIM or grid survive? So this 3D sign is for u lol.. Available for FREE and FULL PERM! Enjoy:)
PS. Before someone asks me why a transsexual pic remember the old motto in SL:
"In Second Life, men are women...
women are men...
and children are FBI agents".....

Muck What They Think
A new and quality assured 100% cool outfit at oh HELLO. Proper pigtails. Puddle boots. Overalls with a "muck what they think" patch. (Takes a closer look) Oh my! Somebody mucked up that patch! But there is also a way cool skull patch and a skull design on the puddle boots. Why? I don't know. But it's way cool! As always, you get all fat pack items and a preset body alpha hud.
fireandicegrid.net:8002:Xinashi

A reminder. Outfits without the "quality assured" label may be missing items due to asset loss following a grid attack. I'm working to fix the missing asset issue, and you can help. Each outfit vendor has an "oh HELLO Outfit Status Report" note card. DELETE the sentence on the note card that does NOT apply:
* OK (All assets found and all textures present)
* NOT OK (Assets and/or textures missing)
Then drop the report note card into the mailbox next to the oh HELLO shop sign.

Thanks!

I was asked how did I create the Sunflower. I use Photoshop 3d. I wrote this article as to how it is accomplished https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2020/05/how-to-create-3d... The shells are fun to create too!

These outfits will only fit the Open Sim dinkies.
The BOM dinkies use another weight, so they won't fit .
Many outfits are made for Open Sim dinkies, be aware of this.

I've been a busy foxy =^_^=

I've brought a total of 6 regions online, each on their own vserver. This should eliminate the db corruption issues I had the previous time around. I haven't fully tested how many avatars can be on the regions at once but Me, Jeeper and an alt were standing around typing without issue. Also for some reason Panda Valley's maptile hasn't updated but it's ok I think.

I'm very much wanting to get an active community off the ground here for those that lay claim to the Furry Fandom(Fur,Neko,Therian,Otherkin,etc..) and will let folks park a 4096m2 parcel anywhere outside of Dragon Valley. The parcel will have unlimited prims so you can build a dream house there if you'd like. Only two rules: Be from the fandom and be active.

Dragon Valley's the landing point/clubhouse/etc.. and i'd like to keep it unchanged.

I'm also in requesting of a terraformer as my land skills suck XD

My RL client received her earrings today. This is the first exclusive RL order. It is such a rewarding experience to first create jewelry but to see it realized in RL has brought tears, it is an overwhelming awesome experience! Thank you to my kind and generous client! It is very much appreciated!

Pink Floyd - In the Flesh! Or is it In the Mesh? Ernest and I spent all day bringing album cover art to life today. A different spin on art, but the installations are pretty amazing to see! Come by Battersea and see for yourself!

I worked out a solution for initial sitting bug in the NPC Horse (script by Shin Ingen) where the avatar sinks through the horse when wearing an AO.
In the NPC horse script by Shin Ingen in under run_time_permissions(integer perm) FIND
if (perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
{
llStopAnimation("sit");
//llStartAnimation("man-stop");
switchAnims("idle");
}
and REPLACE with
if (perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
{
list anims = llGetAnimationList(llGetPermissionsKey());
integer len = llGetListLength(anims);
integer i;
for (i = 0; i < len; ++i) llStopAnimation(llList2Key(anims, i));
//llOwnerSay("Permissions Accepted");
switchAnims("idle");
}
If you don't like coding, just hop over to Neiferleaf and fetch the boxed new horse rezzer at the landingpoint.
Enjoy

This is the repost of the Stark! magazine with the submissive Mina Sato and the famous Ernest Moncrieff, well knows as singer and curator of The Art Factory (OSGrid), with a kids-friendly-cover. ;-)

Get your copy of the magazine and vendors from the Stark landing point.

Why so much hate to meeeeee ..what i have done to youu can you tell me???MY REGION IS GONE...IS HACKED LAST NIGHT .I WENT NOW AND IS GONE...WHYY..is it yours...it all this work was yours?????why you behave like this......now i wil build again but with no public access....it wil be only for mee and to send my creations to other stores wil want my stuff..anyone cant stop me to create and give happines to who they deserve it ..

Info for all jealous and knowledgeable who claim my grid and 162 sim are slow. (user01) I did a test with an old pentium 4 Intl core 2 quad 3.2GHz, 8GB memory card 6 years out of life no more driver, "1GBite" internet. I'm going to my sim house market 60000 prim hard test. No difference to my PC i7 core 8, 4.3GHz, 32GB memory new Graficcard Gigabite. All work fine and stable fast. :-D
If my grid is slow for you, it may be time to think about the 50MBite internet and your old PC. That could be helpful. ;-)

Come and wander the many paths and be lost in the woods, sit by a lake, and enjoy authentic bird sounds which are also freely available at the harbor in 'The Tipsy Twitcher's Ornithologist Shop'. PATIENCE please. For magical reasons, sometimes delivery of items is as slow as a glacier or as fast as lightning.

Find the teleport board to explore or just start walking!

Grid owners can upload GLB/FBX/GLTF and DAE in-world
Including rigged Mesh, Avatars, and Clothing. And if you enable it globally or per user, they can upload from the web

⛵ CA Sailing Race – Chaos on the High Seas of Neverworld! 🏴‍☠️

Every once in a while, we gather our bravest (and occasionally most reckless) captains for a sailing race in the Neverworld Grid!

Our beautiful 4x4 VAR provides the perfect playground for some serious sailing, questionable navigation, and the occasional act of piracy. The racecourse is shown on the map, although following it correctly is apparently optional.

Last Friday, four fearless captains entered the competition:

Miss Eva Nowicka – Fast, fearless, and apparently equipped with a secret turbo engine.

Navy Commander Ballyrae Hanley – A distinguished officer of the Navy, whose navigation instruments seem to have a mind of their own.

Rabit Pink Pirate Snoots Dwagon – A pirate who firmly believes that cannon fire is a perfectly acceptable racing strategy.

Smuggler Miss Trouble Ahead – An innocent, law-abiding smuggler who just wanted a peaceful afternoon at sea. Naturally.

🏁 Race One – Speed, Cannonballs and Suspicious Tactics

Miss Eva Nowicka took the lead and sailed to victory at an incredible speed. We are still investigating whether she secretly installed a jet engine below deck.

Second place went to Snoots Dwagon, who spent a considerable part of the race enthusiastically shooting at Miss Trouble's stern. After receiving enough cannonballs to supply a small naval war, Trouble's ship lost speed, allowing the sneaky pirate to overtake her just before the finish line.

Commander Ballyrae also demonstrated impressive speed, but unfortunately finished last due to what the official Navy report describes as "technical difficulties with the navigation instruments."

The rest of us call it getting lost.

💥 Race Two – Collisions, Cursing and a Heroic Sinking

The second race started with a bang. Quite literally.

Shortly after the start, Miss Eva and Snoots Dwagon managed to collide, proving once again that two excellent sailors do not necessarily make one excellent traffic situation.

While the two captains were busy shouting, shaking their fists, and exchanging what we assume were traditional nautical compliments, Commander Ballyrae and Miss Trouble seized their opportunity.

With remarkable speed and, for once, no major navigational disasters, Miss Trouble and Commander Ballyrea crossed the finish line first!

Miss Eva eventually arrived in third place, probably still muttering something about pirates and the rules of the sea.

As for Captain Snoots Dwagon...

Well, he decided to take a closer look at the local reefs. Unfortunately, he took his entire ship with him.

He sank heroically, spectacularly, and completely unnecessarily.

We salute his bravery. His navigation skills, however, remain under investigation.

🏴‍☠️ Until the Next Race!

What a glorious afternoon of racing, cannon fire, collisions, shouting, and questionable seamanship!

Nobody was seriously injured, several egos suffered considerable damage, and at least one ship is now providing accommodation for the local fish.

Many thanks to all four captains for a fantastic race!

Fair winds, following seas, and remember:

In Catronian waters, winning is optional. Surviving is an achievement!
