Girls Power & Richi on the Time Bandit
Today at 8 p.m. 11SLT
Girls Power didn't just knock on the door – it kicked it down. While the world is still searching for its compass, we've already reset our sails.
The helm is now in the clutches of Darkwolf. Anyone who thought time could be tamed didn't count on us. We're not just hijacking a ship – we're taking control of the moment.
Girls Power & Richi auf der Time Bandit
Heute ab 20.00 Uhr
Die Girls Power hat nicht nur angeklopft – sie hat die Tür eingetreten. Während die Welt noch nach dem Kompass sucht, haben wir bereits die Segel neu gesetzt.
Das Ruder liegt nun in den Klauen von Darkwolf. Wer glaubte, die Zeit ließe sich zähmen, hat die Rechnung ohne uns gemacht. Wir kapern nicht nur ein Schiff – wir übernehmen die Kontrolle über den Moment.

Everyone is Welcome, See you there! :-))

I`ve been working all these days on a V2 version of the Watchdog (using ChatGPT and DeepSeek AI)... Still running some tests here and there and check if all ok/stable. On this V2 version, calling it AIO - (ALL-IN-ONE) you can see the messages also on Discord and Telegram. Also now not only tells you when someone is entering or leaving your region, but also the SIM position (coordinates x,y,z) and how long they remained on region once they left!! And flags if its a npc in the region!!! O.o
E.g:
Jimmy Olsen entered NORGE (06:32:02 PM GRID TIME) | Pos: 1507, 930, 27
Jimmy Olsen left NORGE (08:23:14 PM GRID TIME) | Last Pos: 1505, 934, 29 and remained for 01h 51min 06sec
-----
Baldur (NPC) entered NORGE (06:28:27 PM GRID TIME) | Pos: 1185, 1243, 47
Baldur (NPC) left NORGE (06:33:07 PM GRID TIME) | Last Pos: 1185, 1243, 47 and remained for 00h 04min 34sec

------
Will advertise it when its done (will rez a vendor on URBAM MUSEM SIM, of course).
Thx Arielle for the idea. (couldn`t make it work on cell phone as it would require a paid server and API) but what it offers now is similar! Both Telegram and Discord have apps for cell phones and desktops!
Also thx for my friends Xenon, Luke, Crazy, Mc Cracken and Essensual who has been helping me testing it

Discover a realm where imagination soars beyond the horizon. Skyrealm invites you to explore a breathtaking world suspended in the clouds, where art, fantasy, and innovation merge.

Located at the SkyRealm Observatory, this surreal exhibit has quietly existed for some time—yet remains newly discovered by many.

Inspired by Salvador Dalí’s The Persistence of Memory, the installation explores time as something fluid, observed, and strangely aware. Clocks are held rather than worn, memory floats rather than fades, and the viewer becomes part of the equation.

Set near the Dance Tower, the piece rewards those who pause long enough to notice it. It isn’t loud. It doesn’t announce itself. It waits.

If you haven’t seen it yet, now is a good time.
Time, after all, is already watching.

A few hospital visits later, some holiday chaos, some unneccessary waiting around, and everything finally clicked when i searched the ISR website and realized Luna's star coordinates has already been published publicly and any of us can find it on the International Star Registry website by searching Luna Lunaria...yes you, too! Everyone on Earth! So break out those telescopes and make a wish upon Luna's star! WE DID IT, OpenSim! Thank you for all who contributed, or wanted to, had kind words, or fond thoughts of Luna. Her rl son assured me he received the package and would be framing the copy of the paperwork for himself, as well as forwarding the pre-framed copy to Luna's rl partner. Stay tuned for additional posts with info about the additional funds left over and where they went!

Drei Outfits, die nicht laut werden müssen, um Wirkung zu zeigen. Sie spielen mit Gegensätzen: klare Linien, sinnliche Stoffe und zarte Schleifen, die mehr andeuten als verbergen. Jeder Look trägt eine eigene Spannung in sich – mal unschuldig, mal verführerisch, mal selbstbewusst verspielt. Gemeinsam erzeugen sie eine Atmosphäre, in der Eleganz und Erotik Hand in Hand gehen. BK-Legacy zeigt hier nicht Mode, sondern Momente, in denen ein Avatar nicht nur gesehen wird, sondern hängen bleibt.

Springsteens musikalische Reaktion auf gesellschaftliche Erschütterungen

Bruce Springsteen hat erneut seine Rolle als Chronist des amerikanischen Zeitgeschehens eingenommen. Inmitten der tiefgreifenden sozialen Unruhen und der emotionalen Aufarbeitung der tragischen Vorfälle in Minneapolis hat der Musiker ein neues Werk geschaffen. Das Stück greift die kollektive Trauer und den Zorn auf, die durch die Gewaltakte und die daraus resultierenden Debatten über systemische Ungerechtigkeit ausgelöst wurden.

Last night, the HG Safari group, founded by Thirza Ember and active in Opensim for more than ten years, visited the Metaverse Museum in large numbers.
It was a wonderful evening, during which Roberto Presicci, interim co-curator of the Metaverse Museum, and I answered questions and curiosities from those present, almost all of whom were English-speaking. We used a translator to communicate with them: of course, some of the dynamics and immediacy of verbal conversation was lost, but despite this, everything went very well.
We arrived at the museum's beautiful observation deck, then moved on to the In Between exhibition and then to the exhibition rooms, visiting some of the works in the collection.
Guests from outside Grid were particularly impressed by the vastness of the museum and the variety of works on display.
I would like to thank everyone who attended, namely the friends and artists of MdM, with special thanks to Thirza Ember and her group for their interest and constant attention to the Metaverse Museum, once again demonstrating their sensitivity and curiosity towards artistic and cultural research in the Metaverse

🔥WALL‑TO‑WALL ENERGY 🔥

Today brings a new playlist that moves through the early morning like a living pulse
from deep house to progressive, from melodic techno to trance, from tribal rhythms to those cinematic, emotional lift‑offs that hit you right in the chest.

It starts low and warm, grows steady, and then rolls forward with a momentum that doesn’t break.

A full journey, smooth transitions, rising energy, and that unmistakable wall‑to‑wall flow.

If you’re in the mood for something that carries you, shakes you awake, and keeps you moving without a single dull moment,
you’ll want to be there.

Today.
Wall to wall.

Drei Männer, drei Missionen – und Gianni meistert sie alle mit Stil, Charme und einem Hauch Größenwahn:

👨‍🍳 Gianni, der Gourmet-Gigant

Mit dem Kochlöffel in der einen und dem Sixpack in der anderen Hand zaubert er nicht nur Pasta, sondern auch Herzklopfen. Sein Geheimrezept? Ein Schuss Testosteron, eine Prise Tattoo und ein Lächeln, das selbst Tiefkühlpizza zum Schmelzen bringt.

🚀 Gianni, der galaktische Gentleman

NASA ruft – und Gianni hebt ab. In seinem Raumanzug sieht er aus wie der erste Mann auf dem Mond, der gleichzeitig ein Modelvertrag bei BK-Mode unterschrieben hat. Houston, wir haben kein Problem – wir haben Gianni.

📦 Gianni, der sportliche Paket-Prinz

Ob Jogginghose oder Jetpack – Gianni liefert. Mit Maske, Muckis und einem Karton voller Charisma sprintet er durch die Modegalaxie. Wer sagt, dass man beim Shoppen nicht ins Schwitzen kommt?

BK-Mode bringt Outfits mit Augenzwinkern und Charakter – für alle, die mehr wollen als nur Stoff am Körper. Gianni zeigt: Mode kann alles. Außer langweilig sein.

The guests are trapped! Use the Cyber Helmet to free them.

Alina Trafalgar did a terrific job resizing this Barbie Corvette to fit my 5.3 foot frame. Check out her dealership. If Alina's in world, say hi and she can work with you to be sure your dream car drives well. :)

since osw allows only 1 image per post, here is my final post about the Luna Lunaria charities. A very noble cause, and apparently Luna's favorite charity. Giving children a better chance at growing into healthy adults is something I am certain most of us can agree is a very noble and thoughtful, and heartwarming cause.

In a way, we all stood together, and gave what we could, as our way of showing just how much Luna inspired us. I will forever treasure her builds and my numerous wonderful memories and interactions with her, as I am certain we all will. Let this not be a goodbye, but rather, a "see you soon!" in so many ways...when we look at her builds or frequent a party or event set within one of her builds...., each time we are building or working with pbr or any of the many things that remind us of Luna, or simply looking up at the many stars in the night sky, especially in the Orion constellation. Let us be kind to one another, inspire one another, and drive one another to be creative, to inspire, to continue to make our marks of originality on OpenSim that may further differentiate us from other games and platforms! Be well, OpenSim...and keep on shining!

Alter Bridge - Phönix aus der Asche von Creed

Die Geschichte von Alter Bridge beginnt nicht mit einem vorsichtigen Kennenlernen, sondern mit einem radikalen Neuanfang. Im Jahr 2004 befand sich die Rockwelt im Umbruch, als eine der kommerziell erfolgreichsten Bands der späten Neunziger, Creed, aufgrund interner Spannungen zerbrach.

Liebe Clubtänzer und Musikzuhörer,

am Dienstag den 27. Januar ab 20:00 Uhr öffnet die Musikalische Rumpelkiste ihren Deckel um wieder einmal eine "wilde Mischung" in die Ohren zu pusten: Musik ohne Thema - und wünschen könnt Ihr auch. Wenn ich das im Archiv habe was Ihr wünscht kommt es aus der Rumpelkiste frisch in den Aether.

Bis morgen - wir freuen uns auf Euch alle.

P.S. Vormusik wieder ab 19:30
Dear club dancers and music lovers,

On Tuesday, January 27th, starting at 8:00 PM, the Musical Junk Box opens its lid once again to blast a "wild mix" into your ears: music without a theme – and you can even make requests. If I have what you're looking for in the archives, it will be freshly played from the Junk Box into the airwaves.

See you tomorrow – we're looking forward to seeing you all.

P.S. Pre-show music starts again at 7:30 PM.

Die Enigmatische Welt von Poppy

In einer Ära, in der die Grenzen zwischen Realität und digitaler Fiktion verschwimmen, tauchte eine Figur auf, die die Popkultur aufmischte wie keine andere. Poppy, eine Künstlerin, die mit ihrer androgynen Präsenz und ihrem experimentellen Sound Wellen schlug, begann als ein Mysterium im Internet und entwickelte sich zu einer Ikone der alternativen Musikszene.

Monster dump of 900GB in size:
IMPORTING A HUGE MYSQL/MARIADB DUMP FROM WINDOWS TO DEBIAN

This guide describes a proven and stable way to import a very large
MySQL/MariaDB dump (hundreds of GB to ~1 TB) from a Windows server into
MariaDB on a Debian server.

The procedure avoids double disk usage, survives network disconnects,
and prevents common errors like “server has gone away”.

----------------------------------------------------------
PREREQUISITES
----------------------------------------------------------
- Windows Server with dump.sql (e.g. D:.sql) - Debian
Server with enough free disk space - MariaDB installed and
running - Root access to MariaDB - Network access between
Windows and Debian

----------------------------------------------------------

1. WINDOWS: SHARE THE DUMP DIRECTORY

- The dump file is located on drive D:
- Share the drive (or directory) via Windows file sharing (SMB)
- Example: Share name: d Path: D:
- Grant read permissions to the Administrator account

----------------------------------------------------------
2. DEBIAN: MOUNT WINDOWS SHARE (CIFS/SMB)
----------------------------------------------------------
Install required tools: apt install -y cifs-utils screen

Create mount point: mkdir -p /mnt/windowsdump

Mount the Windows share: mount -t cifs //WINDOWS_IP/d
/mnt/windowsdump -o username=Administrator,vers=3.0

Verify: ls -lh /mnt/windowsdump You should see dump.sql.
----------------------------------------------------------

3. PREPARE MARIADB FOR LARGE IMPORTS

Create the target database: mysql -u root -p CREATE DATABASE griddb;
EXIT;

Create configuration file: nano
/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/99-bigimport.cnf

Content: [mysqld] max_allowed_packet=1G net_read_timeout=600
net_write_timeout=600 wait_timeout=28800 interactive_timeout=28800

Restart MariaDB: systemctl restart mariadb

Verify setting: mysql -u root -p -e “SHOW VARIABLES LIKE
‘max_allowed_packet’;”

----------------------------------------------------------
4. START THE IMPORT SAFELY USING SCREEN
----------------------------------------------------------
Start a screen session: screen -S sqlimport

Run the import: mysql –max_allowed_packet=1G -u root -p
griddb < /mnt/windowsdump/dump.sql

Detach screen (import keeps running): CTRL + A, then D
----------------------------------------------------------

5. MONITORING

Check if import is running: ps aux | grep mysql

You should see: mysql –max_allowed_packet=1G -u root -p griddb

CPU and disk usage are expected to be high.

----------------------------------------------------------
6. COMPLETION
----------------------------------------------------------
The import is finished when the mysql process disappears.

Unmount the Windows share: umount /mnt/windowsdump
----------------------------------------------------------

COMMON ERRORS AND SOLUTIONS

ERROR 2006 (server has gone away): - Increase max_allowed_packet -
Increase net_read_timeout / net_write_timeout

Packet bigger than max_allowed_packet: - Ensure both server and client
use 1G packet size

Import aborted due to network loss: - Always run the import inside
screen

-------
NOTES
-------

- Imports of this size may take 12–36 hours
- Silence during import is normal
- Do not interrupt the process

so i am working on the Japanese expansion for VivoSim and have changed some information.

Current Gardens & Fields:
(removed and moved plants, more to come.
Imo Hatake (tubers)
Kokumotsu (grains)
Konsai (root vegetables)
Soryo (fodder)
Yasai (vegetable).
Habu (herbs)

I will be changing the growth times, stats (for the HUD) and redoing the containers in Japanese style.
I'm testing them now. I have changed the "gardens" and fields to be more specific.

Trees will take a bit longer since there are more of them, but I also have trees that give wood (and other byproducts) as well as fruits/nuts

It has been a lot of work, but i am very happy with the outcomes.
I am hoping to have most of the gardens done this week.
all in all, i am looking at 118 "new" plants/trees.
