***Important Announcement to Grid Owners***
I'm an Admin on Wolf Territiories Grid. Our residents, Passionae Love and Chief JudahBean are NOT Passion Jumanji, nor do they have anything to do with her. I have personally voice verified that they are not Passion Jumanji or her alts. Please do not ban them thinking they are Jumanji alts. They only want to visit your grid peacefully and enjoy what open sim has to offer.

Unser Grid geht neue Wege. :-)
Noch läuft die Config auf dem beta-Grid, aber wird in den nächsten tagen zum Maingrid.
Was ist NEU!

Wechsel von OpenSim 0.9.2.0 Yeti Release zu OpenSim 0.9.2.2 Yeti Release
Debian Linux 12 mit aktuellen 6er Kernel
MariaDB in Version 10.11.3 mit Speziellen Modifikationen für OpenSim
OpenSim AutoBackup System, Tägliche OAR Backups, es bleiben immer die letzten 7 Tage gespeichert.
Plesk Control Panel für den Webserver hier läuft auch der Robust.
MariaDB Replikation Slave v10.11.3 (Backup Server)
Externes Cloud Backup System (Ionos & Amazon S3)
Alle Sims verfügen über Vivox Voice
Alle Sims haben eine Zentralisierte Konfiguration erhalten.
Robust Datenbank wurde von der Tabellen schreibweise an die 0.9.2.2 angepasst
OpenSim Datenbank wurde aufgeräumt, es ist jetzt nur noch die Struktur vorhanden die OpenSim auch bei frischen Grid anlegt.
Regionen laufen auf einer extra MariaDB um die Performance zu bessern
Das ganze Grid hat eine Dynamische Zuweisung des Arbeitsspeichers bekommen, aktuelle Auslastung bei 21 GB und einer CPU Auslastung von durchschnittlich 11% bei 32 Kernen

What to do if you missed out on vivox voice? Well. There is a free program for windows/linux/mac called mumble. It has 2 parts. a program that you run as a small server, and a program that you run as a client. Mumble currently supports over 30 games, including such games as call of duty with an overlay plugin. An overlay plugin is not yet developed for opensimulator, however... Here are the instructions to do that if you want a game overlay plugin for opensimulator. https://www.mumble.info/documentation/developer/positional...
BUT you don't have to do all that. You can just run the mumble server, then you and your friends can download the mumble client on their mac, linux box, or windows pc, and they can easily connect to your mumble server. Once everyone is on your mumble server they can type chat to each other, or talk voice to each other over their microphone. The game overlay part just adds additional features to the game, so that it appears your voice is coming from a specific location, rather than being ubiquitous. If you have any questions on how to set up your own private voice server, please msg me, and I will help you. :)

Bad news: work has been keeping me away form making new clothes and hairs/ or even uploading my stuff from SL.
Good news: I put new, "100% Rat Free" beach changing rooms, and a real swim balls. Not the static ones that just move you around in one animation, the ones that are scripted as vehicles and you can control yourself!
I'm hoping, in spite of being busy, to finish all of the beaches that wrap around the whole region in these next two weeks!
Have fun with them.

Taarna Welles makes original clothes for free in opensim. Her grid was offline for a bit, but it's back up now, and Taarna is in creative mode - so expect some more fashion and other goodies in the next months. bubblesz.nl:8002:Savvy

Hi all i find i have to mention that a certain Grid is trying to destroy Caribou Grid by attacking one of the owners making her crash and making her time painfull but they have reconed without me and the Caribou Grid owner who is a lawyer and will be taking legal action

Whether you're looking for an educational build, some real world art, or just want to meet Arnie on vacation, nothing could be finer than Tosha Tyran's Angkor Wat. The Safari visited the temple and environs, and learned some curious things about the builder...https://hgsafari.blogspot.com/2023/06/toshas-towers.html

Good Morning Good Afternoon! Good Evening!
We have a mall on the Genesis Roleplay Grid that has a lot of original content made on our grid by various creators. Most of us have our own shop and there is a TP board to get around. Lavia has also put out a lot of stuff she has found that is FP. All of my stuff, I made myself, mostly twisting prims. Lavia is the mesh creator. So if you are looking for original content, maybe you will find something you like or have been looking for. I don't intend for this to be about self-promotion, although it is I suppose. I just wanted to share what we have on our grid in case it will be helpful to anyone looking for original stuff.
We also have a shop that is all Selea Core, reboxed, and cleaned up, as a lot of boxes I had found had multiples of the same thing or broken stuff. I fixed what I could, including the swings. What a project that was! I had a lot of things I had never seen anywhere else, so I boxed all of that up too. I know there are some SC fans still and if you are not familiar, she makes beautiful landscaping and other things. She used a lot of scripts, so I have removed scripts that could be removed, like birds and butterflies for less lag.
I am going to share a picture of one of my newest builds, a bar you can put your logo on if you wish. I hope it is OK to post it here. It is a pretty good example of what I make. The stools have sits, and the bar isn't scripted but it is all FP for you to do as you wish. Love this group and everyone in it! Thanks for being my friends!

Opensimworld is such a great resource for opensim - love it! The home page has so much useful info on it.
My request - could The Box be moved further down the page? Maybe swap with Events or Bookmarks? Just because more often than not The Box is so depressingly infantile and completely useless to anyone looking for information.

What's New on Opengrid World?

As you may know, Opengrid World is the new name for Bernicia Prime. But it has changed!

I've tried to keep most of the good stuff where possible but thought it was time for a bit of a change. I've made more use of the centre of the sim (where the old town was) and turned it into a park and maze. I've also added a small Satyr Farm.

The Quick Shopping area has been given a good makeover with new layout and shops. I've added more Ruth2 and Roth2 stuff that I haven't seen anywhere else on Opensim. A new store called "Odds and Ends", which has lots of goodies from Arcadia (pirate buindings) and Paramour (dance balls etc.) and also goodies for Tinies. The old favourites are all still there - Selea Core, Athena, Athena Petite, Decadence, For Men, Synclair Designs (I must get around to making more for that store), Adult Store etc.

As always, everything is free.

Below is a reposting of a comment I made in response to Openlife’s pathetic and wrongheaded rebuff to my initial post. I promised to repost my comment if it was deleted from the thread. Not only did my comment get deleted, but I have been blocked, but through the wonderful technology of alts I am able to access Onellife’s diatribe and also what others who have blocked me are posting. No surprises, it has allowed Onelife to distort and manupulate in order to put across his (wrongheaded) point of view, even to the point of contradicitng themselves on a few occasions.

Seriously, 4chan and 8chan could learn stuff from this lot! Indeed, the more I think about it there is an element in Opensim that seems to want to promote some kind of conspiracy theory. Inadvertantly I seem to have provided fodder, though I cannot for the life of me see how my few comments, none of them at all outrageous, unless you’re one of the EIOSSBF cartel, have created such a furore From that they seem to have taken on a life of their own, becoming ever more grossly distorted according to the viewpoint people like Onelife want to project. Good luck to them, my original piece is there to refute their accusations.

---ooOOOoo---

Good to see that there is at least a fewwho have a balanced view of the software industry. In the interests of full disclosure I am the person who wrote the article for which Openlife’s article is, I suppose, a attempted rebuff .

For clarity's sake, my piece is still up and there to read. Several people have rather bizarrely taken what I wrote and assumed that it is an endorsement of the EchoVoice project. It is not. It is, however, an opinion piece suggesting that if we want the nice things in Opensim, then it's likely we'll have to pay for them, or do without - it really is that simple. EchoVoice was used as an exemplary, nothing else.

I was also accused by Openlife of more or less demanding money with menaces, and by another suggesitng that I was calling people ‘cheap’*.when all I did was to suggest that most people could afford small contributions: not that they had to, and nowhere did I even hint that people should donate, merely that they more than likely could. Of course there will be a very small number of people who won’t be able to afford to contribute to anything, but I hardly think they will exist in any significant number in virtual worlds as they will be destitute, not inworld, and have far more to worry about than the people on here who are triggered at any suggestion that they could, shock, horror, pay some money for something for once in Opensim.

One of Harper Held’s comments was so abusive and intemperate that I not only deleted all their comments, but also blocked them. Both Openlife and GlennXpletive had some of their comments deleted due to them being either needless repetition, or irrelevant rants that had no place and only served to interrupt the flow of the thread. Because of this Xpletive then felt it okay to make xenophobic comments about my ethnicity. A complaint has been made about that.

Any pertinent comments were left. And yet I have been accused by Xpletive of restrictung their free speech, which is ludircrous. If they want to rant about me there are plenty of places where they could do that, and heck, they could even set up a website to do that - but of course, to do that properly, it would cost them money, and presumably these people are the core of the ‘Everything in Opensim should be free’ cult.

Sure, it's possible that someone could come along and do it for 'free', but it's unlikely. The eagle-eyed will also have spotted that my piece, whilst focusing on a voice module, was somewhat wider in scope, and was presenting an argument that maybe we should be prepared to cough up a small amount of money, if we want nice things in Opensim. There is a precedent, though it’s from 2015 (before the EIOSSBF nonsense started) https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2015/02/dahlia-trimbles-...

And if that wasn’t enough, there is this one so we could have decent vehicles in Opensim:https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2015/01/opensim-users-pl...

And... Related to what trggered the OP into writing their piece: https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2014/01/zetamex-announce...

However, that one didn’t succeed, probably because of the avaialbility of Vivox, which, to a degree is understandable, but hardly an ideal solution.

The notion that Red Hat Linux is free of cost because Fedora is free is also a bit of a dishonest claim. Red Hat does have a cost: https://www.redhat.com/en/store/linux-platforms

EDIT: IBM through Red Hat largely finances both Fedora and CentOS Stream, and development is by both the community and paid professionals employed by Red Hat. A symbiotic relationship common to many opensource projects.

And, as Mike Chase says in his comment, there is a heck of a lot of paid-for work in GNU/Linux and the ‘free’ is more about freedom than free of cost, and, to be fair, most distros don’t make a charge for, but many (if not most) do ask for a contribution to cover their costs, such as this, from Ubuntu MATE: https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/amd64/jammy/thanks/?metho...

I certainly didn’t intend to stir up a hornets (or is it a vipers?) nest over this, all I wanted to do in essence was show how the power of numbers could work hugely to our collective advantage. Anyone might think I’d suggested that people should donate their life savings, or steal the bread from their childern’s mouths! Seriously, some of you would do well to go back to school and learn English comprehension.

*Come to think about it, I do think that most of those bitterly complaining and using the poverty of others as a weapon with which to beat me are indeed ‘cheap’. Not just because they don’t want to contribute towards Opensim project, but because they are cynically and despicably exploiting poor people to bolster their arguments rather than going off and berating exploitative employers for not paying their workers enough to live a comfortable life, or petitioning the government to ensure that adequate unemployment benefits are paid to workers unable to find work.

PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT ON THIS PIECE – ANY COMMENTS WILL BE DELETED.

Dorenas World ist offline, weiss leider nicht wie lange. Hier das Statement vom Hoster..
Aktueller Ausfall im Rechenzentrum Straßburg
Zurzeit gibt es eine Störung der Infrastruktur in unserem Zentrum in Straßburg.
In einem der Räume, in denen die Batterien untergebracht sind, ist Wasser ausgetreten.

Dadurch wurden die in diesem Raum befindlichen Batterien in Mitleidenschaft gezogen, so dass das Rechenzentrum gezwungen war, den Strom in dem Raum, in dem sich Ihr Server oder ein Teil unserer Netzinfrastruktur befindet, abzuschalten.
Wir warten derzeit auf grünes Licht, um den Strom in diesem Raum wieder zu aktivieren.

Ihr Server ist von dem Wasserschaden NICHT betroffen, könnte aber ausgeschaltet sein.

Als nächster Schritt prüfen Elektrospezialisten, ob und wie die elektrische Infrastruktur wiederhergestellt und der Strom wieder eingeschaltet werden kann. Der externe Anbieter arbeitet in der Nacht an dieser Aufgabe.

Aufgrund der Komplexität des beschädigten USV-Systems gehen wir nicht mehr davon aus, dass unsere Dienste heute wiederhergestellt werden können.
Wir können keine konkrete ETA-Angabe machen.

Wir versichern Ihnen, dass unser Team mit Hochdruck daran arbeitet, das Problem so schnell wie möglich zu beheben.

Wir sind uns der Unannehmlichkeiten bewusst, die dadurch entstanden sind, und entschuldigen uns aufrichtig für die Unterbrechung Ihrer Dienste.

Kommt und bringt ein paar Freunde mit

I decided that I wanted a custom manicure, but was disappointed to discover that the UV mapping for the fingernails and toenails only allowed for a single color (or texture) to be applied. So. . . I remapped the UVs and now each nail can be unique. I've only made one "polish" so far but have saved all of my working files (blender, photoshop, etc) out on GitHub if anyone else wants to play around with it or make their own. I didn't modify the meshes at all, but since I changed the UVMapping for the nails, I rigged and re-exported those as .dae files that will work with the universal texture. The fingernail texture is on Aux1, and the toenail texture is on Aux2. I also put them in a box in the welcome area of my region.
