This is ToyBoy. We all know him as an active OpenSim user in OSW. He has many projects that inspire us, beautiful sims he invites us to, great events, technical support—what more can I say? A valiant champion of the OpenSim idea. Because of his diverse activities within Hypergrid, a certain troublemaker has rightfully caught his eye.

Now for the kicker: Dorena Verne, who occasionally posts political images with little captions. Yes, truly awful anarchist stuff from the wicked, wicked left-wing corner, ugh. Our eyes, like those of other users, are glued to these terrible images; we're paralyzed and can neither scroll on nor ignore the wicked Dorena, the power of a wicked witch.

What does Dorena actually do for OpenSim? Just offer several regions for HG visitors, hold at least one event per week. Or, yes, she recently posted a complete backup strategy for a grid under Linux.

Ridiculous!!!!

What's that compared to the sheer number of OpenSim-related posts from our highly esteemed ToyBoy? Just look at his profile; it would take you hours to take it all in!!

Yes, I'm that wicked Dorena, and I'm blushing with shame at ToyBoy's tremendous contributions to OpenSim!!

Okay, I hope you'll take this post with a grain of salt. :-)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Das ist ToyBoy. Wir kennen ihn alle als aktiven OpenSim user im OSW. Er hat viele Projekte, die uns begeistern, schöne SIM's in der er uns einlädt, tolle Events, technische Hilfen, was soll ich sagen. Ein wackerer Streiter für die OpenSim Idee. Aufgrund seiner vielfältigen Aktivitäten innerhalb des Hypergrids ist ihm rechtschaffend eine böse Userin im Auge.
Nun kommts: Dorena Verne, die hin und wieder auch mal politische Bilder mit kleinen Bilderkommentaren postet. Ja, wirklich ganz schlimmes anarchistisches Zeug aus der bösen, bösen linken Ecke, pfui. Die Augen, wie auch die anderer User kleben an diesen furchtbaren Bildern fest, Sie sind gelähmt und können weder weiterscrollen noch die böse Dorena ignorieren, die Macht einer bösen Hexe.
Was tut Dorena schon groß für OpenSim? Nur etliche Regionen für HG-Besucher anbieten, mindestens einmal die Woche ein Event. Oder, ja vor kurzen mal eine komplette Backupstrategie für ein Grid unter Linux gepostet.
Lächerlich!!!!
Was ist das schon gegen die Vielzahl an themenbezogenen OpenSim Beiträgen unseres hochgeschätzten ToyBoy? Schaut in sein Profil, ihr werdet Stunden brauchen diese Menge zu erfassen!!
Ja, ich bin diese böse Dorena und Schamesröte steigt mir ins Gesicht ob dieser gewaltigen Einsätze von Toyboy für OpenSim!!
Ok, hoffe ihr seht diesen Beitrag mit etwas Humor. :-)

It would seem that R-Lion is back up and in action as I was given a Landmark to it. I haven't confirmed that it works as I haven't tried accessing it but I will let you know how things go. If it is back however this will be a good thing.

I've been setting up this docks area with fishing boats I found on Sketchfab. I also found some fish to create a little local market vibe. Anyways...if anyone else could benefit from some of these things they're mostly (a few things were not full perm finds) free to copy/buy for 0 on Fianna Rua. You will land on a smaller island and you need to take the sign teleporter on the dock there to get to the bigger one...or fly. Mind my mess as I'm still working on so many parts of this and making decisions. But it's starting to become more cohesive:)

Es gibt viele neue Dekorationselemente, ein paar neue Outfits für Athena und brandneue Blumenarrangements.

In February 2026, Mexico is experiencing a period of significant unrest and violence following a major military operation in Jalisco that resulted in the death of cartel leader Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes. This has led to retaliatory attacks, roadblocks, and safety concerns across multiple states, impacting families and communities. "Heavenly Father, we lift up the people and families of Mexico during this time of fear and uncertainty. We ask for Your divine protection over the innocent and comfort for those who have lost loved ones. Grant peace to the streets, wisdom to those seeking to restore order, and a spirit of unity to the communities facing these trials. May hope rise above the shadows, and may every home find a path toward safety and healing. Amen."

Habe eben einen zweiten Debianserver bestellt, der dann lediglich für die Backups zuständig ist.
I just ordered a second Debian server, which will then be solely responsible for backups.
Sobald er verfügbar ist Folgendes:


1. Grundinstallation prüfen
• Debian aktuell
• SSH sicher
• keine unnötigen Dienste
2. Backup-Ziel vorbereiten
• Benutzer nur für Backups
• Speicherstruktur sauber anlegen
• Zugriffsrechte korrekt setzen

3. Borg-Repository einrichten
• verschlüsselt
• stabil
• bereit für automatische Rotation

4. Verbindung vom Grid-Server testen
• SSH-Key
• erster Test-Backup
• Wiederherstellung probeweise prüfen

Erst, wenn alles sauber funktioniert,
kommt der letzte Schritt:

5. Vollautomatik nachts per Cron
→ komplett selbstständig
→ kein Eingreifen nötig
→ ruhige, sichere Backups für Dorenas World.


As soon as it's available, here's what I'll do:

1. Check the basic installation
• Debian up to date
• Secure SSH
• No unnecessary services
2. Prepare the backup destination
• Users dedicated to backups
• Create a clean storage structure
• Set access rights correctly

3. Set up the Borg repository
• Encrypted
• Stable
• Ready for automatic rotation

4. Test the connection from the Grid server
• SSH key
• First test backup
• Test the restore process

Only when everything is working perfectly will I proceed to the final step:

5. Full automation at night via cron
→ Completely autonomous
→ No intervention required
→ Quiet, secure backups for Dorena's World.

since osw allows only 1 image per post, here is my final post about the Luna Lunaria charities. A very noble cause, and apparently Luna's favorite charity. Giving children a better chance at growing into healthy adults is something I am certain most of us can agree is a very noble and thoughtful, and heartwarming cause.

In a way, we all stood together, and gave what we could, as our way of showing just how much Luna inspired us. I will forever treasure her builds and my numerous wonderful memories and interactions with her, as I am certain we all will. Let this not be a goodbye, but rather, a "see you soon!" in so many ways...when we look at her builds or frequent a party or event set within one of her builds...., each time we are building or working with pbr or any of the many things that remind us of Luna, or simply looking up at the many stars in the night sky, especially in the Orion constellation. Let us be kind to one another, inspire one another, and drive one another to be creative, to inspire, to continue to make our marks of originality on OpenSim that may further differentiate us from other games and platforms! Be well, OpenSim...and keep on shining!
