Region owners can now to have tidal regions, where the water level will go from 19.5 metres to 20.5 up and down. It's the same level across the grid so all regions water level will be consistent. Just turn on tidal in the control panel no need to reboot.

I am reading comments on paid content and various markets in OpenSimulator. I would like to share my thoughts and ask you to correct me if I'm wrong and shed some light on the topic.

In my opinion, Kitely has the best system both as a market and a control system. After working with it for a while, they have managed to achieve a significant result. Creators can set content that they don't want to be forced into permissions as non-exportable to other OpenSim grids, thus protecting it from the infamous GOD mode that users across all grids now have. On the other hand, those who want to make their content exportable risk selling fewer copies since it may be forced and potentially distributed everywhere.

I find it very challenging for original OpenSim creators to sell products and come close to the earnings of Second Life. For instance, even if I sell a product as no-transfer, if it ends up in the grid of a user with GOD powers, it will certainly be unlocked. Unlocking content has become an instinctive practice for many users.

It's a different story for those who create original products and release them for free. Even if unlocked, they will not suffer excessive damage (I hope), and people will be more inclined to respect permissions (I hope) and invite others to get their copy directly from the original creator without forcing and redistributing it as a favor for various friends on other grids (doing it discreetly), which can happen with paid products.

I honestly don't believe this problem will be resolved as long as GOD mode is accessible to everyone. Some grids have denied GOD mode to enforce respect for original creators' content, but these are not popular among users who can get everything they want with GOD mode. They prefer, at the same cost, to obtain regions even in poorly performing grids that allow them to do anything.

Another problem is the backup copies of regions. There have been grids that did not allow the default backup of objects without sufficient permissions, but these grids had no luck or popularity. Meanwhile, those who do not apply such restrictions obviously have more success. Even reloading the OAR on a new grid, the original creator could be permanently lost, creating confusion about who the original creator of the product is and whether the object has been purchased or not.

Therefore, honestly, I think selling on more or less renowned grids is limited to one, two, or ten sales, the time it takes for the product to be unlocked, given away, or loaded into other grids via OAR. All of this, except for Kitely, which has an exceptional system for controlling the "products" leaving its platform, a system that they don't publicly share from what I understand.

Of course nico is heading up a bunch of her friends to harass me as usual. So let me explain to you what happened step by step. First of all silvia is a liar. You can trust her or you can trust me. I have hard evidence of what she did in my logs.
On the wizardry sim where thousands of people have come and gotten things with no issue whatsoever, and where i am always glad to have visitors, silvia appeared. She was on one side of the sim, but she moved her camera view from the area she was standing (by the wizardry store where i make and give away free stuff), all the way over to my castle across the water. On the top floor of my castle is all my inworld servers. They are in a locked room. She browsed past (through) the wall, and then inside this room is a server cabinet that only the owner (llgetowner) can click on and open. Inside that server cabinet is my security orb server. She very carefully moved her camera into the center of that cabinet to catch the edge of the server in her viewer so she could click it and try to manipulate the menu. I put it in a locked cabinet inside a locked room, on the 4th floor of my castle for a reason. Everytime she clicked it, it reported to me. I tried to talk to her but got no response. There is no reason for someone to touch my hidden servers in a hidden cabinet in a locked room. I finally kicked her and she went to my regin elf beach. So I had to set an estate ban. While I was trying to set an estate ban, Wizardry went down. I got logged out. I checked it on the dreamgrid console and wizardry was showing crashed. It also showed a visitor in elf beach. So I got her information from the robust logs and added here to an estate wide ban to keep her off my grid forever. I will never let her back on my grid. If you are wise you will do the same as I have and ban her. All these people coming at me with these nasty comments have no idea what is going on, they were not there. For those of you who are wise you will ban and block her. For those of you who wish to believe liars, then I hope she visits your sim and does what she did to me.

Cyberglo has made an absurd and unfounded accusation against Silvia Frey. His post starts with a hysterical headline: PRISCILLA IS BACK!!! THIS TIME A NEW NAME/AVATAR.

I asked Cyber, "Answer just one question. In what way is Silvia Frey, who joined the Blackswan grid almost 8 months ago, and was known in the CopyKat Grid before that,"new?" So far, no answer. Obviously, she is not new.

Cyberglo identifies Silvia with a Blackswan grid address. Blackswan is home to a small group of friends who have been together in SL and now OS for over a decade. It looks like Silvia came to Blackswan in June 2023, when the CopyKat Grid closed. Maurice invited only a few trusted people from CopyKat to BlackSwan. It's doubtful that a guy responsible for keeping two grids safe would invite Priscilla Snot-rag to BlackSwan.

Several people have asked Cyber for evidence to support his wacko-nuts-cray-cray claim. One of them comments, "Hey Cyber. Almost a full day after you made this scaremongering and slanderous post. Obviously, you do not have any evidence. No logs, no screen caps, nothing."

Another person comments, "Why don't you allow Silvia to defend herself of your post? She is trying to access the comments and can't see the post". In other words, he has blocked her. Perhaps in his fevered imagination, he thinks she can take down his regions by just commenting on his OSW post. Did I say wacko-nuts-cray-cray already? It bears repeating.

After looking at the gold Buddha in the 360° snapshot from yesterday, I realized the gold can look much better so I retextured it. This is not pbr, it uses material textures, and adding lights around it will bring out the sparkle even more. This statue is free and can be found in the Asian room in the main store building.

I have added a lot of new items to Holiday Haven. Valentines, St. Patrick's Day and Easter items now available. There is a lot to go through. I still have some organizing to do, so please excuse the untidiness.

These were originally a Ukraine Doctors Without Borders related charity item on SL, so my "please don't sell these for money" rule is extra strong here. All legal, original of course.
