New Beta - Version 7.08 of DreamGrid has the ability to schedule a restart anytime during the day or night on any day(s) of the week. It's also running the very latest core Opensim with PBR materials and works with the latest Firestorm viewers as well as the old viewers. Click Help-Update or download the installer and run it.

Opensim in DreamGrid is super efficient and is virtually free to run on your own hardware. Pic is a screen grab of my grid. I run Outworldz.com:9000 with 128+ regions (1,391 SL regions) on an Intel NUC. According to my UPS. my cost is exactly $3.53 per month for all those regions at 14 cents/kWh. I also have one with 396 regions on a laptop, loaded with OARs (2,170 SL sized regions) and it runs very smoothly in just 32 GB of RAM.

All absolutely free! No ads, no sign up. No strings attached. Free Grid-wide search, Grid-wide Publicity, free automatic DYN DNS for outworldz.net, inworldz.net, hyperica.com and ittbittymachine.net domains.

This is the only Opensim secured with Authenticode signed binaries. SOC_2 level security testeing, A+ DNS and SSL rating (all free) and it integrates into Opensimworld so no beacons are needed.

T – Timelessness
Time doesn’t pass in TAKE Land. Here, everything is the present. It’s a space beyond the clock, where the ancestral and the future embrace. The castle, the temples, and the waterfalls tell stories from eras never forgotten.
“There’s no rush here. Everything is now.”

These kid-scooters are sooooo amazingly cute! In both ridable and wearable versions. I've been riding them around for the last day or so - think they are my vehicle of choice (even though I am a bit big for them!)

Buy for zero at Ardent Town toy store now!

On April 26 11 people were killed and many others injured in Vancouver after an SUV rammed into a crowded Lapu Lapu street festival in Vancouver.

This has been on my mind. Today is a day of Remebrance in BC, Canada. I made/modded a vigil candle in a holder and it's at the Birch Grove RCMP station free to copy/buy for 0.

The candle is from Sketchfab:

"Candle Low" (https://skfb.ly/6TCpr) by Batuhan13 is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

The holder is simple prims and the flame is from an old LK candle. The hold is a default SL one and the animate on attach script is available a bunch of places. I think I have it from back in SL days but on outworldz and probably OSgrid in the scripting forum etc.

Cherish those you love everyday. Cherish community and safety. Hold folks in your heart who don't get to and offer them light and love.

I just recently updated the Menkaure Temple at the Egyptian display area to PBR textures and a fully redone pool area. Includes the temple, the pool area with plants and prim water, a gold sarcophagus, and a gold firepit. Click the Egyptian teleport sign inside the lobby to get there.

The original for this temple sits on Luxor and serves as my temporary home there. A version of this was used as an OSFest2023 memorial to Veri McMaster who passed away in 2022. I recently donated her version to Kitely to be permanently displayed on their upcoming Memorial region, since Kitely was her home.

Been Having fun with EEP Sky's. However If you are working with older versions of Firestorm or Singularity viewers you will not see like this. Thanks to a friend who tested it for me old school ways but sadly many people dont have this capacity. The only thing is the top layer clouds I could not make them move only the lower layers.
Any ideas would be welcome still new at this lol

Gravity on Earth is about 9.8 meters per second. On Europa Moon,it`s 16.66% of Earth so gravity has been changed accordingly on all Europa Regions. Go give a try! Climb the highest building and jump. Nice effect :)
Enjoy :)

Hello everyone, the BloodMoon grid website is getting a makeover, the development of the vampire and Lycan role play is also progressing. We recently concluded a partnership with Podex and changed our currency due to a lack of communication from Gloebits, our messages remained desperately unanswered for several months. The team at Podex is very professional and it is easy to communicate with them, we recommend them for their professionalism. See you soon: https://bloodmoonpack.com/grid/

🌹 Thorned Heart 🌹
Love, wild and untamed.

With golden vines that twist and curl like whispered secrets in a dark forest, Thorned Heart cradles a fiery red ruby at its center—bold, defiant, and full of passion. Each leaf and curve tells a story: of fierce devotion, tangled emotions, and a heart that dares to love deeply… even when it hurts.

I was asked to record a video to show how I construct vines. This is another Thorned Heart ring in just a bit different style, a signet ring, this video shows how I construct the vines. https://youtu.be/WtPwU6FaWaU?si=KFhmiNuNQYNpS6Rg

Created this morning in the foyer on the little table, thank you for the requests 💗

Opening wednesday, 26th march! Gloebit mall of original mesh creations by Remmy Ravenhurst! There will be free gifts which also are not available anywhere in the metaverse. The idea behind this mall is to give original creators an opportunity to make a few coins here and there, hone and improve their skills, support each other, and ensure OpenSim can gain continually more traction as it's own entity, with truly unique items and people!

Some of us may have been around long enough to even recall the days of approx 2003-2008, where average players could create things in SL, hone and improve their skills, sell knick knacks, gestures, what have you...not to get rich or gouge each other, but, perhaps earn a few bucks with our work ethic. But all the big businesses, corporations, and college grads rolled in, had access to million dollar motion capture animation machines, expensive softwares and hardwares out of reach to the average user, and things like this. We happily choose to support other creators that have the "audacity" to ask a small pittance or few coins for their hard and original work.

ALL of these items are legally licensed or free use mesh. Most of it was custom textured by Remmy, and applicable furnitures have poses. Some may have various scripts, a few may have color huds. We will be posting the hop location on Wednesday, when it opens. Thanks for your support and encouragement, in advance!

I also just finished completely reworking all the lighting and furnishings in the Decor room at the store with all new pbr textures, as well as adding a few new items. As you enter the lobby, walk straight back to the right and through the Decor doorway.

Important note: if you land on the top of the cinema complex when you first arrive at the Emporium, take a single step forward to activate the teleporter to the lobby.

Dear Everyone... After endless battles with windows 10. The bizarre server crashes, the triplicate items in my oars... I'm going to linux. Let me explain why, today my server decided the usb ports were no longer needed. So I have no mouse, no keyboard, they don't even work in bios. This system is on a very powerful UPS so I know lightning didn't get it, but on the other hand it was 5 years old. So in messing with it while the keyboard still worked, I tried to fix the mouse but wound up crashing my grid, and then the mother board died leaving me once again friendless with no grid. :( So I did what every opensimian does and ordered a new server. But I think this time I'm going with debian. Hopefully I can find someone that uses debian with opensim to give me some insider information to get it up and running when the new server comes in. But just so you know, I'm down due to mysterious server problems. I have created an account on wolf territories called CyberGlo CyberStar, you can friend me there and I will probably never lose your friendship. Sorry for the troubles. CC

The new PBR version of the Art Deco Bar is now available inside the lobby of Lunaria Emporium.

Here's the limo: hop://grid.wolfterritories.org:8002/Lunaria%20Emporium%20-...

Honored to participate in the Opensim Worlds Fair this year :-) I have two areas: parcel 10 - Lunaria Emporium which is a sim-sized area, and a display in the tech area talking about pbr. Hope to see you there :-)

Here's the hop: hop://grid.wolfterritories.org:8002/OpenSim%20Worlds%20Fai...

Exciting changes are coming to Home and Gardens! Not only will we have stunning historical homes powered by Bullet physics, but an entire region showcasing some of the finest and freshest properties in the Ubode Physics realm. We've also given H&G Furniture a complete overhaul, with a wealth of brand-new items that will make it easier than ever to find what you're looking for.

All three regions will have their own dedicated beacons, so you can easily navigate to the areas that interest you most. This massive undertaking has been months in the making, and I'm thrilled to finally unveil the new and improved Home and Gardens and H&G Furniture this Tuesday, March 4th at 9am grid time.

These homes are for your personal enjoyment only - no god-modding or unauthorized redistribution allowed. I work tirelessly for the people of the Open Sim, not for any individual grid. I can't wait for you all to experience the incredible transformation we've achieved!

Because we're all about the food at Birch Grove Spring! I made/arranged (a clever person at Sketchfab named Moonlian actually made the waffles) some waffles...lol. In Norma's Diner by the Train station if anyone's wishing for some.

It's with a heavy heart I announce the closure of the Hub Grid.

It was never one of those 'popular' Grids, and nor is the E Grid, but I like to think a few held it in a special sense :) We may not have been popular or well visited, or featured on the Safari or anything like that, but we enjoyed what we had. Sadly the funds are no longer there to finance the hosted Grid, so it will be shutting its doors, so to speak, immediately.

The E Grid will remain available for its rentals and may continue to offer new rentals.

If you are renting there, be sure you are wearing the Residents tag to visit your home.

Most of the E Grid will now be private, all that is not rentals.

While I am sad to announce the Hub going dark, I want to shout out to Masala Estates for their wonderful hosting and recommend them very very highly to anyone!

I am myself going on Hiatus here for an extended time. Life has changed for me and not in a negative way, but still changed. I will check from time to time, and want to thank those of you who visited our regions, for all your support. You truly made it worthwhile to stick around :)
