The Snowfall Expanse

Go in skates and a scarf, you can have fun in the snow, it is very big you need time to visit it, there are ski slopes in the mountains, then you can go to the Christmas market, visit the castle and the house of Santa Claus. Don't be in a hurry or don't enjoy this region, have fun, thanks to everyone it was a great job.

Pink Floyd - In the Flesh! Or is it In the Mesh? Ernest and I spent all day bringing album cover art to life today. A different spin on art, but the installations are pretty amazing to see! Come by Battersea and see for yourself!

The Art Factory is about art and artists. At The Art Factory, we display art; we appreciate art; we learn about art; and, we promote art. We have over a dozen galleries dedicated to in-world artists, where they show their innovative creations. As such, we are beginning a feature called Meet the Artist.

This week we want to introduce to you, the very talented Nice Minik.

Ms. Minik, can you tell us a bit about yourself and your art?
My interest for VL-Photography started back in InworldZ with some photos of dancing Avis.
In 2017 the "Nice Minik" on OSG was created to try out "hypergriding" and to build a photo-studio with backdrops and "flat" lighting for Avi photo sessions.A visit of Ellen and Ernest in my first little gallery changed my virtual life.
Since that day I explored the photo-features of Firestrom and tried a lot of light-effects to make my inworld-photos more interesting. It comes in handy to be a prim builder (for certain backgrounds) and I also learned to create poses in the meantime.

And what are you doing artistically now?
Nowadays I can display model-sessions and themed series at "the Art Factory". And I was able to create some issues of the Stark Magazine.

So, what's the motivation behind your work?
Some of my work just tries to show beauty. Some may be a bit provocative. But I always try to find the mood, lighting and angle to take photos, that "tell a story". And sometimes I can even achieve that goal.
One thing stayed consistently through my development as an inworld-photographer: what you see is what I saw. That means, that I never do after-works on my photos.

What do you enjoy most about creating art in virtual worlds?
Besides that, I very much like to show virtual life in a way, that makes viewers enjoy what I enjoyed or maybe get an impulse to think about certain aspects.

Thank you for the interview, Ms. Minik!

Please stop by The Art Factory Reloaded and check out Nice Minik's art! It won't disappoint!

Living with friends ...
Amazing community
wir sind mal wieder mächtig stolz auf unsere Leute. Einfach weil sie sind wie sie sind,
weil sie " living with friends" nicht nur als geklauten Slogan nehmen,
sondern dieses feeling jeden Tag leben. Dafür sind wir sehr dankbar .

Ein aufregendes Jahr liegt hinter uns.
Wir hatten Verluste.
Manche taten weh, manche weniger.
Wir hatten aber auch Gewinne
Der größte Gewinn war
Teil einer funktionierenden, lebensfrohen, lebendigen Gemeinschaft geworden zu sein.
Teil eines Grids zu sein,in dem Freundschaft nicht nur ein geklauter Werbeslogan ist.
Teil eines Grids zu sein, dass eigenständig zurecht kommt.

Dafür sind wir sehr dankbar. Unseren Bewohnern und allen, die uns dies ermöglicht haben, wie auch unseren zahlreichen Besuchern.
Möge die Zeit der bollernden Heizungen und prasselnden Kamine die Herzen der Menschen erwärmen und der Duft der Tannenbäume
all den Menschen die schlechten Gedanken vertreiben

Wir wünschen Euch allen ein besinnliches Weihnachtsfest, einen sensationell schönen Start ins neue Jahr und bleibt gesund.

Euch allen ein besinnliches und herzerwärmendes Weihnachtsfest

wünschen Euch Nasti und Rudi vom Soul Grid

✨ BK – Schmuck, der Charakter zeigt ✨

Feine Materialien, edle Akzente und eine klare Designsprache verbinden sich zu einem Ausdruck von Stil und Persönlichkeit.

Jedes Stück steht für Eleganz, für Stärke und für die Kunst, sich selbst zu zeigen – ohne laut zu sein. Gold, Perlen und markante Details formen eine Linie, die modern wirkt und dennoch zeitlos bleibt.

BK bedeutet Luxus, der spürbar ist. Design, das berührt. Schmuck, der getragen wird, weil er etwas sagt.

Some PRIDE for my AMERICAN FRIENDS.

THE FLACK I WILL GET FOR THIS IS WORTH IT!

I'M A VETERAN. I'M GAY. THERE WAS A TIME I COULD NOT TALK ABOUT IT.
I KEPT IT SECRET AND I SERVED ANYWAY BECAUSE I LOVE GOD AND MY COUNTRY.

I BEAR THE FLAG OF THE COUNTRY THAT GAVE ME THE FREEDOM TO BE ME
AND TO SPEAK OPENLY AND FREELY AS I CHOOSE. THAT IS THE PRIDE I CARRY.

THIS KIND OF PRIDE GOES BEYOND POLITICS

IN GOD WE TRUST: STAMPED ON OUR CURRENCY AS A REMINDER AND A WARNING

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA 250

VOTE IN THE MID-TERMS IF YOU DO NOT LIKE HOW THINGS ARE.

If you cannot be proud of where you come from, perhaps it is time to take a closer look at yourself and ask:
'What did you do to make it better for everyone'?

since .net8 and .net9 are end of life in november we are going to update our servers to .net10 and make a few major changes to the code. first off we will remove the ini based configuration system and introduce two new servers, an estate service and a region registry. an isolated opensim server will run the regions for an estate. this will also give a better interface for self-hosters who want to own their data.we are still in planning stages and comments/suggestion appreciated thanks much. graphic ai generated so i didn't have to spend an hour making it hehe.

Opensimulator Community:

We weren't going to make any kind of big announcement but since someone from the grid felt it was necessary to post about the move prior to us putting out a release, I guess we should do that now so people aren't doing their usual speculating.

As of June 1st 2026 Littlefield Grid will be ceasing it's grid operations.

What does this mean?

We are in the process (and have almost completed) moving all of our regions to OSGrid. OSGrid has an excellent management and development team, and it has a very large community and we've always had a really good relationship with the management team there. It's also where Littlefield started so for us it was the best option.

All regions are still going to be run on our bare metal servers which are located in a secure datacenter, and we will continue to rent to our users and any new users interested. All of our public, educational, and RP regions are migrating as well as legacy regions like Paramour Shopping which was Aine's region.

Why we are shutting down?

In March of 2026 one of our owners and founding members Ashton Nobilis passed away. Ashton did several modifications to the Opensim code we ran on Littlefield. Although I understand all of it as I myself am an IT professional, we lost Ashton faster than anticipated, and we were unable to obtain 1 very important password from him for one of the grid components. We could hack this piece and create a new password probably, or we could just rebuild the grid and migrate everything as we have access to everything we need, but honestly, this was a labor of love for myself, Dirk Mathers, and Ashton Nobilis. Without Ashton by our side, we just don't have the same feelings toward operating the grid component. There are other personal factors guiding this decision as well. That being said, Dirk and I felt that we could better serve our Littlefield "community" by migrating to OSGrid and allowing them to continue with all the land, community, and public regions they currently enjoy. We intend to use proceeds from the rentals for operating the servers, and to donate monthly to OSGrid as they are doing the work to cover the overhead of the grid services for us, and we feel it's only fair to contribute to the operation.

How soon will this happen?

This is already happening. We have already migrated 70% of the regions to OSGrid. 30% of them are open to the public right now, but I need to fine tune some things and alter some permissions on some things for public consumption prior to opening them up. We should have everything migrated, active, and open to the public in the next two weeks.

We want to thank the Littlefield Grid family for the 14 years they have supported us, and so far all of them were happy to follow us to OSGrid and want to continue the community spirit with us that they had in LFGrid.

Please feel free to take a look around as the regions become open to the public!

Please feel free to contact Dirk or Myself if there are any questions rather than creating a rumor mill (which is already starting) and speculating. We are easy to get in touch with and we're happy to answer any questions anyone may have.

Thank You,
Walter Balazic
Dirk Mathers
