Oar creation kiosk at Holoneon. We wrote an Oar archive server that's much faster than the one built into opensimulator region server, without torching the processor cores. an average region with a few buildings and furniture takes about 10 seconds to create. loaded region takes maybe 10 minutes or so. The software queues up jobs and runs two at a time if needed. Some of the speed gained is due to switching to RFC 8878 compression in our custom assetd server instead of using legacy gzip from the 90's RFC 8878 is used in OpenZFS and is much more performant than gz. To create an oar touch the kiosk in welcome and you will see a list of all your regions with links to create, download and delete oar files. This is still beta so you should test out restore on a different grid/region and let me know if you have any issues.

Ensemble Update:

Ensemble now has a default wear mode of add instead of replace (replace can still be chosen - its just no longer default for new outfits).

In addition - Ensemble now supports multiple images per outfit. One image can be selected as the "main" image but when clicking that to enlarge it - you can cycle through the images.

This also follows through to the link view - anyone with a link can also see all images for an outfit.

Frech, zierlich und sexy - X-Petite

Wenn Mode eine Party wäre, wären diese Outfits die Gäste, die zuerst tanzen – und zuletzt gehen.

Hier wird nicht gefragt, ob’s „zu viel“ ist. Hier wird entschieden, dass „zu wenig“ keine Option ist.

X‑Petite steht nicht für Größe, sondern für Haltung: laut, bunt, selbstbewusst, mit einem Hauch „Mach Platz, ich komm jetzt“.
Zwischen Neon, Leder und Glitzer wird klar – Stil ist kein Kompromiss, sondern eine Kampfansage mit Lippenstift.
Wer hier vorbeigeht, schaut nicht nur – er bleibt stehen, weil er weiß: Das ist kein Look, das ist ein Statement.

Und wenn jemand fragt, ob das „tragbar“ ist?
Klar. Für alle, die sich trauen, sie selbst zu sein.

DJ DEBBIE loves her music, Has lots of amazing Ska,Dance, Pop , and tunes that you request.
Lets join her for an 2 hours set at the Landing point at AMV , Where the Moonlight Shines brighter then the Stars.

Everybody is welcome ,

🌴🍹 FRIDAY BEACH MADNESS IS BACK! 🍹🌴

Cancel your house chores... they can wait another day. The beach can't! 😎

Join Adrian Moon on Friday, 3rd July, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM Grid Time for an afternoon packed with music, laughter, sunshine, and the occasional dance move that probably should've stayed in the living room.

🎶 Adrian Moon pretends to know what he's doing...
🕺 You pretend those dance moves were intentional...
🍹 We all pretend tomorrow isn't Monday yet!

No dress code, no stress, no auditions—just good people, great music, and plenty of beach vibes. Whether you're dancing, chilling with friends, or simply wondering where the last two hours disappeared to, you're in the right place.

⚠️ Side effects may include:
• Smiling without warning.
• Dancing when nobody asked you to.
• Making new friends.
• Refusing to leave when the music stops.

🚕 Taxi to the venue:

Grab your flip-flops, your sunglasses, and your best beach attitude. We'll provide the soundtrack—you bring the fun!

See you on the sand! 🌊☀️🎉

I would like to wish you all a very safe and happy 4th of July. I am going to be leaving open sim for a bit as my creativity has moved into a new direction. for many years in SL, I was a builder , a dj, a club owner, did tribute bands as well , and here in open sim I did some DJ ing here and there, and some rework projects and scripting of cars. AI has opened a new door for me with the writing of songs I have done over the years, so I will leave you with this one I wrote and posted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hamQ4RjH0zk

For all those who have shared and all that that cared , thank you and wishing you all the best.

Coming to you at 2am PDT/SLT/OST/Grid Time, 2 hours of fun, laughter and banter, kicking off your Wednesday with a bang!, come one, come all, all are welcome to come and join in party and have fun!
