SECURITY: How your grid CAN handle HG traveler assets.

Opensimulator documentation is available but how many of us fully utilize it?

I have a confession to make: I feel like a complete imbecile! I followed instructions on some klutz of a website which gave me instructions on running a standalone grid... GREAT... everything is up and running smoothly. Now lets build some worlds and secure my....

EGAD! Suddenly, it dawned on me, I have been using this software for years and I did not completely READ THE F⭐⭐⭐ING MANUAL!

As a refugee from several worlds, my hosting journey began with a standalone setup, where I was blissfully unaware of the complexities involved in the handling of assets from hypergrid travelers. As a former Kitely merchant, I am looking into ways people can interact with my creations without taking them. Out of ignorance, I took the wrong security measures.

One of the common misconceptions that led to limitations, such as banning prim or mesh attachments (to avoid cheating) at Dismayland, is the belief that the server must download and store visitor assets to display them properly. This is not entirely true. By applying specific precautions, you can prevent visitor assets from being stored or affecting your environment.

So if you do not want "SL-Lara" on your grid, or you do not want the rot from someone's full suitcase, you can rest in the comfort of knowing their assets will not infect your world if you take the following precautions...

Restricting the ability for hypergrid visitors to rez objects or execute scripts is crucial. By doing so, you can effectively ensure that their assets are not saved in your database, significantly reducing the risks of unwanted modifications or overwrites. This approach provides a balanced way to maintain control over your creations while still offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy your content visually.

By understanding how asset management works in OpenSim and applying the correct security measures, you can create an environment that respects the creative efforts of your residents while sharing the beauty of your virtual worlds with others.

This approach is not without caveats: when you travel to other worlds, you WILL appear as a blob while your viewer shows you a cached appearance. It will not stop copycats, the most determined rippers can easily grab what is seen, but without your code and hidden assets, those useless rips end up in stuff boxes, wasting valuable server resources. There is nothing I enjoy more than making clever obstacles in today's virtual 'Wild Wild West'!

TL;DR: When we share knowledge openly and freely, EVERYONE BENEFITS.

Die Geschichte von Jefferson Airplane ist untrennbar mit dem kulturellen Beben der 1960er Jahre verbunden.
Alles begann im Jahr 1965 in San Francisco, einer Stadt, die zum Epizentrum einer neuen Lebensphilosophie wurde.

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.

Gianni. Wo Eleganz nicht einfach glänzt, sondern strahlt.

Diese Kollektion ist kein Outfit, sie ist ein Auftritt.
Ein leises Rascheln von Luxus, das trotzdem jeder hört.
Goldene Akzente, die nicht protzen müssen, weil sie wissen, dass sie gewinnen.
Stoffe, die aussehen, als hätten sie einen eigenen VIP‑Bereich.
Und ein Stil, der so selbstverständlich wirkt, als wäre er schon immer da gewesen — nur eben nicht an jedem.

Gianni ist Glamour ohne Ausrede.
Für Nächte, die länger funkeln dürfen.
Für Momente, die ein bisschen mehr Bühne vertragen.
Für Menschen, die wissen: Wenn man schon erscheint, dann bitte so,
dass selbst das Licht kurz innehält.

I'm streaming my “Cover Me: Tender Tunes” playlist at the hangout spot. It’s a carefully curated selections of cover tunes performed by artists like Aretha Franklin, Rickie Lee Jones, Norah Jones, Harry Nelson, Patti Smith, Johnny Cash, and Peter Gabriel. It also has selections from the Rockabye Baby! series of CDs containing instrumental lullaby versions of popular rock bands including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin. While tender, the music can engage a number of emotions and invite reflection. If you'd like, you can listen in on the web instead. http://aegura.harriman4.com:8038/nico.mp3

The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Die Geschichte der Jimi Hendrix Experience beginnt in den turbulenten 1960er Jahren,
als ein talentierter Gitarrist aus Seattle den Sprung über den Atlantik wagte und die Rockwelt für immer veränderte.
Im Herbst 1966 traf ein junger Musiker namens Jimi Hendrix in London ein, begleitet von Chas Chandler,
dem ehemaligen Bassisten der Animals, der sein Manager wurde.
Chandler erkannte sofort das außergewöhnliche Potenzial und half dabei, eine Band zusammenzustellen,
die Hendrix‘ visionäres Gitarrenspiel in den Mittelpunkt rücken sollte.
So entstand die Jimi Hendrix Experience,...

Der Architekt des elektrischen Bogens: Die Lebensreise von Jean-Luc Ponty

Die Geschichte eines der einflussreichsten Musiker der Jazz-Fusion-Ära beginnt am 29. September 1942 in der malerischen Küstenstadt Avranches in Frankreich.
Jean-Luc Ponty wurde in eine Welt hineingeboren, in der Musik nicht nur ein Hobby, sondern die Luft zum Atmen war.
Sein Vater, ein geschätzter Geigenlehrer, und seine Mutter, eine Klavierpädagogin, legten das Fundament für eine Karriere,
die später die Grenzen der klassischen Musik sprengen sollte.
Bereits im zarten Alter von fünf Jahren begann Jean-Luc unter der strengen, aber liebevollen Anleitung seines Vaters mit dem Geigenspiel.
Es war eine klassische Erziehung im besten Sinne, geprägt von Disziplin und dem Streben nach Perfektion...
