CopyKat Life Boat: hg.osgrid.org:80:CK Alt Island
CK Alt Island is a 2x2 region made available by Apollo Star. I'm still setting up the estate as a short-term hang-out/dance venue. Other uses, such as having shops, are possible if it looks like we need to use this region longer.

CK Alt Island is open to the public. CK residents can sign in with an alt account on another grid. Then come to the Island and set it as your home location if you like. We can use the region until November if we need to.

Thanks to everyone for your help and offers of land.

just a reminder.. this is an ADULT GRID, and an ADULT REGION.. that means no child avatars or children allowed.. it you think you have been wrongfully ejected and banned message me here and plead your case.. but if you look 12 you are a child avatar

Upate. This address should work for everyone:

Don't usually do drama politics lol but i recieved more than the usual Hate Mail since posting here. 1. This is no Second Life 2. 70% of the items i see for sale in Second Life are free downloadable objects and clothes modified and then resold for quite alot of money (i do game graphics in RL) 3. OS Grid came to us as a free open source and is especially valuable to those who are handicapped and on low incomes who can never never never afford SL to create their dreams 4. No other grid would be around if not for the FREE tech service from OS grid staff and developers 5. If you tweeked your copy of OS Grid sofware for YOUR GRID and it runs better GREAT that is what we want! YOUR HAPPINESS 6. When attending someones event try to have manners if possible, I know these are hard times and everyone is on edge but lets all just step back for a moment and take a breath. Im happy to help anyone or discuss or listen Hugsss and have a great day HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I want to clarify something there is someone going around spreading rumors about Club Equinox closing down~! Let me set the record straight! Club Equinox was started 3 years ago on the Kinky Grid by me and my Sister Chynna those that been to the old Equinox know her! There were not that many clubs around then and alot of them that were are gone today. We work hard to make Equinox a drama free no issues place to come party and anyone who ever came knows that we are a fun place to party! Xaria is and has always been a great partner in the club, We have seen a decline in people coming but we will be here for a very long time in the future we have many plans and improvements ! WE HAVE NO PLANS TO CLOSE~!~~~ so with that i want to stop the rumor mill that people have started about Xaria and Me many times before if anyone wants to find out whats going on your all more than happy to ask me or Xaria we be more than happy to tell you!

Hey everyone, im back! Had trouble getting back home and still waiting on my luggage.

With that being said, Virtual Beach is offline. It will be back up in a few hours. Dreamgrid must have wigged the server out or vice versus or an internet thing. Sadly i have to have my server guy restart it and right now its too early where he lives.

Tromsø Expo Center presents The Provocative Work of Dorena Verne

Saturday, May 9, 2026
11 am grid time / 8 pm Berlin time
grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:TROMSO

Dorena Verne’s ongoing portrait series is an exploration of identity as lived practice.

Through the disciplined, iterative rendering of a single figure—her imagined and rightful self—Verne examines the intertwined dynamics of gender, power, and visibility. The work’s provocation lies not in spectacle, but in its unwavering assertion of personhood within a cultural landscape that continues to contest it. Each image reflects a synthesis of technical mastery and autobiographical inquiry, revealing a visual language shaped by resilience, clarity, and intention.

This exhibition presents a body of work grounded in craft and conviction, inviting viewers to engage with an artist who transforms self‑representation into a form of truth‑telling.

Champagne, hors d'oeuvres, and gourmet coffee to be catered by the Chronic Cat Cafe and the Pot Pie Bakery. There is no dress code, however, we all love an opportunity to dress up! One rule: You can wear pearls, but no *clutching* of them. 😎 Curated music brought to you by Xenon Darrow - in the genres of chill, triphop, and classics.

This is an exciting and explosive start to the mission of the Expo Center - to provide a space for expression and demonstration of the craft and creativity of our virtual world denizens throughout the world and the hypergrid.

Nurse Dinah Rhea is now moonlighting at the 'Covid Casino' Booth @ Ineptitude Aisle. She is there to warn people that PAYMENT is required when service is rendered. The Wanda Circuit handles aftercare... OWCH!

Heute Morgen, Fragestunde mit Dorena_AI..

[22:21] Dorena1 Verne: Darf Kunst politische Motive haben?
[22:21] Dorena die Weise: Ja, Kunst darf politische Motive haben – und sie hatte sie in der Geschichte immer wieder.

**Begründung:**

1. **Freiheit der Kunst:**
In modernen Demokratien gilt die Kunstfreiheit als wesentliches Grundrecht (z.B. in Deutschland Artikel 5, Absatz 3 GG). Das bedeutet, Künstler*innen dürfen sich ausdrücken, wie sie möchten – auch politisch.

2. **Geschichtlicher Kontext:**
Schon immer hat Kunst gesellschaftliche und politische Themen aufgegriffen. Denken wir an Banksys Graffiti, Bertolt Brechts Theaterstücke oder Francisco Goyas „Desastres de la Guerra“. Kunst war oft Vehikel für Kritik, Protest oder Visionen des Wandels.

3. **Funktion von Kunst:**
Kunst regt zum Nachdenken an, fordert Diskussionen heraus, hinterfragt Macht und Normen. Sie erlaubt es, schwierige Themen auf emotionale und kreative Art zu vermitteln.

4. **Keine Pflicht, aber Möglichkeit:**
Kunst muss nicht politisch sein – sie kann es aber. Die Offenheit, auch politisch Stellung zu beziehen, ist Teil ihres Wesens.

Die Frage warum aufgrund scheinbarer Neutralität ein Grid meine Werke ablehnt, habe ich mir verkniffen, die Antwort kenne ich selber...
.................................................................................................................................
This morning, Q&A with Dorena_AI...

[10:21 PM] Dorena1 Verne: Is art allowed to have political motives?

[10:21 PM] Dorena the Wise: Yes, art is allowed to have political motives – and it has had them throughout history.

**Justification:**

1. **Freedom of Art:**

In modern democracies, freedom of art is considered a fundamental right (e.g., in Germany, Article 5, Paragraph 3 of the Basic Law). This means that artists are free to express themselves as they wish – including politically.

2. **Historical Context:**

Art has always addressed social and political issues. Think of Banksy's graffiti, Bertolt Brecht's plays, or Francisco Goya's "Disasters of War." Art has often been a vehicle for criticism, protest, or visions of change.


3. **Function of Art:**

Art stimulates thought, provokes discussion, and questions power and norms. It allows difficult topics to be conveyed in an emotional and creative way.

4. **Not an Obligation, but an Option:**

Art doesn't have to be political—but it can be. The openness to taking a political stance is part of its very nature.

I refrained from asking why a grid rejected my work due to its apparent neutrality; I already know the answer...

It's World Puffin Day and Fianna Rua has some kick ass Puffins. There are free to copy/buy for 0 birds on the South West side of the lighthouse on the rocks. There are some others that are simply to be admired:)

There is a wooden Puffin statue in the Old Bridge Inn up on the shelf that's also available. And these fun Punk Puffin tshirts in the clothing shop at the corner of Merchant and Mermaid's Lane. The Puffin graphic on the shirt comes Pixel Labs on Pixabay. The shirts are for Classic Avatars but textures are included for BOM users.

Puffins are charasmatic birds; sometimes nicknamed the clowns of the sea. While globally they're not classified as endangered they are vulnerable to extinction they suffer declining populations due to climate change and food shortages related to overfishing. It should be noted that European Puffins are listed as endangered. Pollution, oil spills, hunting and invasive predators are all factors in this.

Love Puffins today:)

Last night, the wonderful and generous (if not mischievous!) Jimmy Olsen spent time teaching me how to make static EEP skies. He doesn't like what I am doing because he wants it to look slightly blurry for more "realism," but mine are not for that. I am thinking about them for doing events at the Playa, even manually changing them out during the events! Or maybe at an art festival! The sky is my canvas! During an art festival, you could share the work of others, changing them out periodically. Thanks for your time and patience, Jimmy! Now the fun begins!

I made a short webpage with a simple tutorial for those that want to play! https://sites.google.com/dynamiclearning.solutions/eep-fun...

I`ve been working all these days on a V2 version of the Watchdog (using ChatGPT and DeepSeek AI)... Still running some tests here and there and check if all ok/stable. On this V2 version, calling it AIO - (ALL-IN-ONE) you can see the messages also on Discord and Telegram. Also now not only tells you when someone is entering or leaving your region, but also the SIM position (coordinates x,y,z) and how long they remained on region once they left!! And flags if its a npc in the region!!! O.o
E.g:
Jimmy Olsen entered NORGE (06:32:02 PM GRID TIME) | Pos: 1507, 930, 27
Jimmy Olsen left NORGE (08:23:14 PM GRID TIME) | Last Pos: 1505, 934, 29 and remained for 01h 51min 06sec
-----
Baldur (NPC) entered NORGE (06:28:27 PM GRID TIME) | Pos: 1185, 1243, 47
Baldur (NPC) left NORGE (06:33:07 PM GRID TIME) | Last Pos: 1185, 1243, 47 and remained for 00h 04min 34sec

------
Will advertise it when its done (will rez a vendor on URBAM MUSEM SIM, of course).
Thx Arielle for the idea. (couldn`t make it work on cell phone as it would require a paid server and API) but what it offers now is similar! Both Telegram and Discord have apps for cell phones and desktops!
Also thx for my friends Xenon, Luke, Crazy, Mc Cracken and Essensual who has been helping me testing it

We’re launching a daily Exercise Movement right here on the OpenSim
Connect Discord Channel to get builders, creators, and project junkies
moving.
So, three times a day, we’re hosting 15-minute movement breaks
designed to get circulation flowing, loosen stiff joints, and reset your
energy. No gym. No pressure. Just simple, accessible movement you
can do wherever you are.
15 minutes. 3 times a day. Your body will thank you.

Movement with others feels less like exercise and more like Fun!

We regret to announce an important update to our Terms of Service.
Due to recent incidents involving inappropriate and pedophilic behavior, BloodMoon Grid has decided to permanently prohibit child-like avatars on the grid.

We understand that this measure may seem unfair to some users who used such avatars purely for creative or innocent purposes.
However, our top priority is and will always remain the protection and safety of our residents, as well as full compliance with applicable laws.

We sincerely thank everyone who understands the necessity of this decision, and we apologize to those affected despite their responsible and harmless use.

Been happy with my weather system so I created one specially for my sims at EUROPA: no API called just simple script. it gives temperature in C, F and K (kelvin).. from inside and outside dome. Fits very well the thematic here! Thinking about releasing a copy at MAGABAGA MALL. unsure if someone would be interested though.

I have made a bunch of cute Halloween decorations. They are all at the end of the shop near the water—free, Full Perm, and NOT prefect. :) I also made a couple of dragons, a red one and a white one that glistens in the sunlight. Can you find them? Lots of new things are coming soon!

***OPENSIM ONLINE WEATHER SYSTEM V4 (VERSION 4) UPDATED RELEASE****
AVAILABLE FOR FREE AND FULLPERM AT WEATHER SECTOR

************WHATS NEW ON V4 FROM V3 VERSION?*************
PS. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY REZZED STUFFS FROM PREVIOUS VERSION (v3) ALL YOU WILL NEED IS REPLACE THE CONTROLLER AND THE SOUNDBOXES AND THE SCRIPT FOR THE SCULPTS SET!!! (These are the 3 scripts I modified for the bugs fix and new features!)

- Bug fixed:
--> Code 210 (Light Thunderstorm) now fetched from master to slave scripts properly;
--> Weather condition now never shows as "unknown".
- Enhancements:
- Information now sent to owner includes wind speed and direction, visibility and humidity.
- SOUNDBOXES with NIGHT SOUND (THE CRICKETS) SUPPRESSION updated:
* The script checks the object’s latitude and the current month!
* Tropics (≤ latitude 30°) → night sounds always play.
* Polar regions (≥ latitude 60°) → night sounds are always blocked.
* Mid-latitudes (latitude 30°–60°) → gradual suppression:

* In winter months (depending on latitude), night sounds are blocked.
* In summer months, "night" sounds play normally.
* The script stops "night" sound if suppression applies; "day","rain", "drizzle" and "snow" sounds always play normally when due.

Our latest addition to the Sub-Version mall: The Garden Centre.

Large collection of unique items for your garden - many with a fantasy feel to them.

As always many many items at other stores at Sub-Version Mall.

Through life, there are people and events that take and hold a piece of our soul - sometimes the better, sometimes for the worst. Sometimes the trigger are small, apparently insignificant things.
A piece of mine was taken 9 years ago when I saw the above screenshots in the news. I sobbed for day, as I still do today. I grieved for people I had never met, as I still do today.
PRIDE doesn't hold meaning (or the same meaning) for everyone - and that is okay.
But regardless of where we stand on, of what we believe on - Love and Kindness to our neighbours shall be the Law.
This is, once again, my Starchild wish and Blessing to you all:
'May, when given the choice, you always choose kindness. For you are all Children of the Earth and Starry Heavens, but your race is of Heaven Alone'
Let us remember:
'Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth, for behold: all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals; and therefore let there be Beauty and Strength, Power and Compassion, Honour and Humility, Mirth and reverence within you.'
Blessed Pride
In Love & Grief,
Aurora Starchild

All are welcome at Three Hills Grid. We embrace a spirit of kindness, inclusivity, and respect, where everyone—regardless of background, identity, or orientation—can feel safe, valued, and free to be themselves. Whether you're here to explore, create, connect, or simply be, you belong.

This is a picture of the replica of the home I grew up in here in Pennsylvania. We had a huge farm house to live in and lots of freedom to roam wherever we liked. In my humble opinion, you just can't beat country life. The house, smoke house, garage and barn are all here at the mall just waiting for a new place to be set up. Blessings and much love, Lavia

"Hairpinning" Public Safety Annoucement and a small favor to ask of home Opensimulator server owners.

If you added a MAC address to a ban list, you may ban yourself, or ban all uses from any grid that uses a Loopback adapter for hairpinning. The problem is all Loopback adapters use the same MAC address. There is a different one for each type, such as WIndows, Mac and Linux.

Opensimulator servers require routers with working hairpinning so the server can find itself at the WAN's public IP. Loopback adapters are sometimes necessary at the server because not all home routers support hairpinning, a.k.a. Loopback. Only the the server can log in to itself, when the server has a loopback adapter. Others on thje same LAN can use a VPN, which moves the network endpoint outside the LAN, and onto the WAN.

Also, a lot of people think Loopback is needed for the Hypergrid. It's not. It only so the server can see itself at the external WAN IP.

I help maintain a list at http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers of compatible and incompatible routers. Please, do us all a huge favor, and if your router for your home server is not listed, please comment the brand, model number and whether loopback works or not, and I will add it.

Thank you!
