Hey folks, don't worry any more about outfits breaking. There is now a patch in core Opensimulator code to allow outfits to load correctly without reaking Links from IARs. For the ~ 17% of grids that do not use core 0.9.3.1, or use Linux instead, I posted a one liner SQL for grid owners to fix their broken links in outfits.

DreamGrid will have this patch this weekend and need do nothing except update to the latest 6.02 (Non PBR) or 7.02 (PBR) when I publish it. DreamGrid is about 83% of all known grids over the last six years. (~6x) and will automatically fix old as well as IAR uploads, even in V6 series which is Opensim 0.9.2 ( Non PBR )

Grid owners who know SQL can see http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=9180

Please be aware you need to backup your robust database first!

OSGrid
Can I make a suggestion? I understand it sucks losing content. I've been there many many times. and losing access to your projects. And no I definately don't work for OSGrid and I'm an expert on literally nothing. But I feel like OSGrid being offline unexpectedly when they were trying to give folks until March 21...actually probably means they're in crisis.

As with probably all OpenSim grids this isn't a paid gig for anyone. It's volunteers trying to be helpful so the rest of the folks who don't necessarily do the tech side can enjoy this hobby. Sure there are grid owners who rent regions but with server costs and if people honestly charged for their time and effort, they wouldn't even break even.

TheFactory: So I'm preparing my Backup2025 folder so I can make an IAR and have an issue. I have a Lost&Found folder and when I 'Move' the contents to the Backup2025 folder they get 'Moved' back again into Lost&... 3 days ago
Stonehaven Estates - Free plots of land for the BDSM community.

As most of you know Littlefield Grid has a very large and active BDSM population since our start in 2011. We are hoping to get more of the people in the BDSM scene together by offering some free plots of land to people from the BDSM community. They are located next to 3 of our BDSM RP regions and we have 64 plots available with 3000 prims each.

Littlefield is an adult only community, so no children, child avatars, or child play of any kind is permitted. For more info on obtaining this free land contact Walter Balazic, Dirk Mathers, or Windrunner Constantine in world.

Deepseek R1 is the Chinese open source LLM which shocked silicon valley. You can run it locally on your computer without internet connection and get also API to connect and develop it on your computer by yourself for all tasks you may want it should do. Right now DeepSeek is the best AI you can get as open source local usable AI. Here a description how to do it. It is working fast even without super Nvidia GPU graphic card and it doesn't need much. Much less than all other as hardware resources.

You can also get DeepSeek with GPT4all and you don't need to have any skills. There were first some problems but now with newest GPT4all it seems all is fixed for DeepSeek.

By request I'm doing the large Japanese home next, but this time I'm going to make it in situ, where it will be displayed once finished. It will take about a month and those interested in my building process can visit and see the progress as I go along. I sketched out the plans yesterday then did my space planning on site today. Pictured is how that looks. You can see it at the Emporium. In the lobby click the Japanese teleport sign and you'll see the build area in the far back.

Two new Tea Houses are now available at the Emporium. Each structure is a mix of prim and mesh and is finished with both PBR and standard textures. Each Tea House comes with a Tea Set Seating Group, working doors, and lighting controls for the interior and exterior. Each structure is about 360 prims, fits a 27M x 27M base area, and has modify and copy permissions. Matching garden pagodas are on display there as well and are also available.

In the lobby, click the Japanese teleport sign on the left, then you will see the Tea Houses across the way on the other side of the garden area that you can walk through. Alternately, you can walk out of the lobby and take a left until you come to a Japanese bridge with torii gates that takes you through the main gate to the Japanese area. All of those items are available as well.

Coming up next, I will be working on a temple and a shrine, followed by a more opulent home, and finally a castle. I will eventually wrap up this style with multiple accessories.
