Join us this evening for the Rockin' The Seas New Year's Eve Cruise!
This special ship with the newly decorated Emascus just for this event will rock you around the Bay while you enjoy dancing on-board with your friends while you drink in plenty of great tunes and free champagne!

The event starts at 4 PM Grid Time, so you will still have time to get ready for that RL party!
You can hop in here: hop://neverworldgrid.com:8002/Redwood%20Bay/51/17/22
Ship sails at 4 PM, so be sure to be on a dance pad or seated at a table so you don't slide off the ship!

See you at 4 and Happy New Year!!!!

✨ Prosit Neujahr 2026! ✨

Das alte Jahr neigt sich dem Ende zu und wir blicken voller Vorfreude auf das, was kommt. Ich wünsche euch allen einen glitzernden Rutsch in ein fantastisches neues Jahr! 🥂🎆

Möge das Jahr 2026 für euch vor allem eines sein: Gesund, glücklich und voller kleiner Wunder. Danke für die gemeinsame Zeit im vergangenen Jahr!

Alles Liebe und nur das Beste, Eure MiraclesWelt 💫

What a year 2025 has been in Kitely!
We crammed twelve months into 11 minutes and 18 seconds, enjoy!

Huge shoutout to the Kitely community: your hard work and creativity turn ideas into reality. The future belongs to what we do, not what we daydream about doing. Action is the foundational key to all success, and you guys are all action!

To our friends across the Hypergrid who come and celebrate with us, and make the party bigger and better year-round , you’re absolute Rock Stars.

Extra thanks to Thirza Ember and The Hypergrid Safari for shining a light on our projects and helping us share them with the wider OpenSim Community. You are the best!

Here’s to a Happy and Healthy New Year ahead.
Let’s make 2026 unforgettable!

Liebe OpenSim-Freunde,
von Herzen wünsche ich euch – überall dort, wo ihr gerade seid – einen sanften, glitzernden Übergang ins neue Jahr. Möge es euch Gesundheit, Frieden, Wärme im Herzen, kleine Wunder und ganz viel Licht schenken.
✨💫
Eine kleine zauberhafte Anmerkung:
Cloudshead Worldheart wird Ende Januar wieder seine Pforten öffnen. Überall wird liebevoll umgebaut und verwandelt – Feen sind geschäftig unterwegs, Magie webt sich leise durch die Welt, und neue Wege entstehen. 🧚‍♀️🌿✨
Wir freuen uns schon sehr darauf, euch wieder begrüßen zu dürfen. 💞
✨✨✨
Dear OpenSim friends,
from the bottom of my heart I wish you — wherever you may be — a gentle, sparkling slide into the New Year. May it bring you health, peace, warmth of heart, little wonders along the way, and lots of light.
✨💫
A small magical note:
Cloudshead Worldheart will open its gates again at the end of January. Everywhere, things are being lovingly rebuilt and transformed — fairies are fluttering about, magic is quietly unfolding, and new paths are being prepared. 🧚‍♀️🌿✨We are already very much looking forward to welcoming you back. 💞
✨✨✨
Chers amis d’OpenSim,
de tout cœur, je vous souhaite — où que vous soyez — un passage doux et scintillant vers la nouvelle année. Qu’elle vous apporte santé, paix, chaleur du cœur, de petits miracles et beaucoup de lumière.
✨💫
Une petite note enchantée :
Cloudshead Worldheart rouvrira ses portes à la fin janvier. Partout, on reconstruit et on transforme avec amour — les fées s’affairent, la magie se tisse doucement, et de nouveaux chemins prennent forme. 🧚‍♀️🌿✨
Nous nous réjouissons déjà de vous retrouver. 💞

Thank you to everyone who gives their Kindness, time and their patience making Opensim what it is. There would be no opensim if there were not kind people giving for free. Thank you to everyone else in opensim, because all of us combined make opensim what it is.
Happy 2026 to everyone

From me to you..
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the many kind words you had for me. Of course, there was also some criticism, and thank you for that as well, because that's the only way to learn and improve. With that in mind... a happy and more peaceful New Year 2026. Stay healthy, or get well soon again. Thomas

I want to thank everyone for the amazing event on Monday.

I didn't expect so many of you to stay until the end.

And all the work I put into the set wasn't in vain, since trance music isn't very common in OpenSim.

Thank you so much!

And I hope I was able to convince some of you that trance music isn't just thump-thump music :))

And I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Have a great start to the new year and stay healthy!

We would like to express our deepest condolences for the loss of Luna Lunaria, who gave so much to opensim with her beautiful creations and her beautiful regions. We will miss you Luna.

Never take life for granted and always be kind to each other in a world that is already filled with hate.

We would like to end this year by thanking you for all the support we receive to continue building on Vendetta and creating something for you on opensim. We love what we do. Grateful for the great support we receive from other Grids.
We personally thank you for this year.
Happy New Year and wish you a beautiful and wonderful New Year.

Einen Guten Rutsch ins Jahr 2026.
Für das Neue Jahr wünsche ich euch von Herzen ganz viel Gesundheit, Glück sowie viel Power um neues zu erschaffen. Natürlich auch einen tolle Zeit in OpenSim und ganz viel Spaß dabei.

Happy New Year 2026!

For the New Year, I wish you all the best of health, happiness, and lots of energy to create new things. And of course, I hope you have a great time in OpenSim and lots of fun!

Felice Anno Nuovo 2026!

Per il nuovo anno, vi auguro tutto il meglio: salute, felicità e tanta energia per creare cose nuove. E, naturalmente, vi auguro un fantastico divertimento con OpenSim!

¡Feliz Año Nuevo 2026!

Para el Año Nuevo, les deseo mucha salud, felicidad y mucha energía para crear cosas nuevas. Y, por supuesto, ¡espero que se diviertan mucho en OpenSim!

working on speeding up FSAssetService, i noticed in the loop it's got hard-coded 1 second delay per asset. So on a simple thing with 30 assets that's an extra 30 second of nada nothing. I added config option in Robust.HG.ini under

[AssetService]
WriteSleepMs = 10

so that's 10ms or .01 seconds instead of 1000ms but you can adjust in the config how you like it. in the Writer() function i changed Thread.Sleep(1000); to Thread.Sleep(m_WriteSleepMs); (which pulls value from config, defaults to 1000 if dne)

I also moved the spool directory to RAM disk where it determines the hash, and it checks the RAM disk for existing file instead of hitting the drive. Then it does the actual movement from spool to data directory in a background thread without blocking. So far I'm seeing simple remote objects imported over HG taking about 20 seconds that took about 3 minutes originally. Anyway if you want to test it out there's just one file change. https://codeberg.org/fionasweet/FSAssetService
let me know . If I didn't break anything maybe i'll submit a PR upstream.

Admin Panel Updates – More Convenient, Cleaner, Faster

We've just released a series of improvements to the admin panel to make management even easier and more intuitive.
✅ New, more modern interface

Clearer and more readable layout

Tab navigation to quickly find everything

KPIs/indicators at the top for an immediate overview

✅ Smarter operations

More intuitive tmux session management (fewer clicks, more control)

Quick search in lists (users and simulators)

Clearer confirmations and modals for important actions

✅ Stability and cleanliness

Improved workflow to avoid double submissions and "dangerous" refreshes

Clearer feedback messages for each operation

In short: less time searching for things, more time doing them
If you're an admin, you'll notice it right away.

Carlita is back online... sorry for all renters to get their items sent back. You can thank Trinity Triunity who had installed a very bad script... I need to control all regions now... but well - my tech support told me that this bad console is blocked on the whole grid anyway... a very dangerous tool... I know that i am too naive sometimes... but always learning... i am an artist and not so much into technical things....
