I made a lightweight region module that exposes an HTTP endpoint on each region server returning full texture data for any prim by UUID. Returns diffuse, normal, and specular map UUIDs per face as JSON, suitable for consumption by PHP, Python, or any HTTP client.

Does not return PBR textures but that's just a bit of extra work if you want those in the JSON array.

example:

Array
(
[prim_uuid] => ea2d31d5-be84-4238-8b63-9736b4d59619
[prim_name] => Ruth2 v4 - Mesh Avatar - Business

[parent_group_uuid] => ea2d31d5-be84-4238-8b63-9736b4d59619

[is_mesh] =>

Habe eben einen zweiten Debianserver bestellt, der dann lediglich für die Backups zuständig ist.
I just ordered a second Debian server, which will then be solely responsible for backups.
Sobald er verfügbar ist Folgendes:


1. Grundinstallation prüfen
• Debian aktuell
• SSH sicher
• keine unnötigen Dienste
2. Backup-Ziel vorbereiten
• Benutzer nur für Backups
• Speicherstruktur sauber anlegen
• Zugriffsrechte korrekt setzen

3. Borg-Repository einrichten
• verschlüsselt
• stabil
• bereit für automatische Rotation

4. Verbindung vom Grid-Server testen
• SSH-Key
• erster Test-Backup
• Wiederherstellung probeweise prüfen

Erst, wenn alles sauber funktioniert,
kommt der letzte Schritt:

5. Vollautomatik nachts per Cron
→ komplett selbstständig
→ kein Eingreifen nötig
→ ruhige, sichere Backups für Dorenas World.


As soon as it's available, here's what I'll do:

1. Check the basic installation
• Debian up to date
• Secure SSH
• No unnecessary services
2. Prepare the backup destination
• Users dedicated to backups
• Create a clean storage structure
• Set access rights correctly

3. Set up the Borg repository
• Encrypted
• Stable
• Ready for automatic rotation

4. Test the connection from the Grid server
• SSH key
• First test backup
• Test the restore process

Only when everything is working perfectly will I proceed to the final step:

5. Full automation at night via cron
→ Completely autonomous
→ No intervention required
→ Quiet, secure backups for Dorena's World.

What are your plans for March? Ditching Discord? I built C# bridge between Matrix and OpenSim. A grid user can create a group as normal then optionally connect it to Matrix server. I built an invite link thingy like Discord works. Matrix Users and OpenSim Grid users chat and it all shows up in Matrix (And the group chat inworld in the viewer). The profile pics and av names sync up automagically. I use Element web (and the phone app) but you can use any matrix client you want. So it's interactive.

not sure if anyone wants this feature, if so i'll post it on the ethers. if you don't or can't build OpenSim from source you probably won't use it. :)

OpenSimulator ActivityPub Bridge - A lightweight, database-driven ActivityPub implementation designed for OpenSimulator grids, with first-class support for system actors, groups, and federated posting without requiring OpenSim C# modules, sidecars, or viewer changes.

This project focuses on simplicity, deployability, and compatibility with existing OpenSim + MariaDB setups. (should also work with MySQL if you run the oracle software)

Tested with Forte v26.2.4, Streams v26.2.10, Hubzilla v11.0 (but should work with any AP capable software like Mastodon, Lemmy, etc)

It will verify RFC 9421 sigs if used by remote, but this software only signs with Cavage / V1 signatures.

At this stage it posts group notifications to the social web. It has the capability to inbox/outbox messages for grid users however not yet implemented until I decide on a intuitive way to do it.

Anyone is welcome to add hunt items to the maze. Shops, creators, and contributors are invited to participate.

LOVELY IS COMING BACK
Dear Lovelies
I’ve done some thinking and thank all the folks who have sent messages of support and/or hopes that Lovely will reopen. Well the good news is it will but I will run one show a week rather than two.
Lovely Pier Club will run on alternate Tuesdays 12-2 with DJ Anaguma spinning his amazing mix of Eurobeat, Happy Hardcore, JPop and Kpop starting on Tuesday 17th Feb.
Lovely Space Club will run on alternate Saturdays from 12 grid with DJ Rosa Alekseev plus others. Most weeks we hope to do double headers so we can play till late. First event will be on Saturday 21st Feb with Rosa plus Zen Rieko doing the late show.
And the quizzes will continue.. …Regular quiz on Tuesday shows at the Pier and new spacey geeky nerdy quizzes at the Space Club Saturday shows

GRUG ASSAULT — Public BETA

Try a new drop-in action game for your grid.

Unlike most game systems that require you to rebuild your region around them, IMAGE is designed to work around you. GRUG ASSAULT is the public test platform for the IMAGE Matrix Action Game Engine — a deliberately aggressive deployment intended to prove the engine under real conditions before IMAGE takes up permanent residence at Dismayland Theme Park.

Each game mode in GRUG ASSAULT runs with its own custom music set, arena-styled audio routing, and purpose-built sound effects. This is not background noise or looping chaos. The region participates. The engine coordinates behavior, sound, and escalation so what players hear and feel directly reflects what is happening in the arena.

Before the IMAGE framework is released under a Creative Commons license, it needs real results: real stress and real breakage. If you’re curious, come in, push it hard, and see what fails. If it survives you, it earns its place — and so do you.

The IMAGE portal at Atrius Station Landing will take you directly to the Arena.
For convenience, a BETA PRIM nearby will DM you a live summary of everything currently being tested in the build. Adjacent to it is a KNOWN ISSUES board outlining active investigations and unresolved behavior.

BETA Incentive: To reward meaningful testing, the top five BETA participants will receive a complete, fully functional IMAGE Gaming System. To participate: Click my picture on the board to message me. This is the only accepted channel for BETA communications

Following the example set by Gimisa, everyone else will receive IMAGE as a tutorial on RELEASE day. You’ll be taken to a sandbox and guided through a complete crash course — from bullet logic, to weapons, to assembling an entire action engine. This kind of knowledge-sharing matters, and I wish more creators did it.

IMAGE is a framework developed by a digital artist using a sophisticated code analysis and reasoning platform.

Come Break It! Thanks to Maze and Prince Amor for the MONSTER avatar!

Heute
Ölt die Zahnräder, poliert die Goggles und schnallt euer Korsetts fest – am 25.01.2026 ab 20:00 Uhr wird nicht nur Dampf gemacht, sondern richtig aufgedreht.
DJ Kai wirbelt die Ventilatoren an,
Plattenschubse Marina schmeißt die Scheiben wie glühende Kohlen ins Getriebe.
Erwartet einen Abend voller Funkensprühen, schräger Erfindungen und tanzender Maschinenwesen.
Komm im Steampunk-Look oder so, wie du die Zeitmaschine gerade ausspuckt – Hauptsache bereit für Chaos mit Stil.

I don't believe in goals that you set like pieces of furniture.
I believe in images that appear before you know what they mean.
I believe that desires are not weaknesses, but clues.
That dreams are not escapes, but designs.
That imagination is not a luxury, but a compass.
I reject the notion that you have to be "ready" to begin.
Readiness arises in action.
Clarity follows movement, not the other way around.
A vision board is not a wish list.
It is not a success plan.
It is a quiet place where the unspoken finds expression.
I don't work against resistance;
I listen to it.
Often, it knows more than the will.
I don't believe in creative and uncreative people.
I believe in experienced and discouraged people.
And in the right to practice again.
The process is more important than the product.
Not because the result is irrelevant,
but because otherwise it remains empty.
I trust slow insights.
I distrust quick promises.
I take inner images seriously, even if they don't yet have a language.

Unity, energy and global rhythm
“One Love, One World”, “Feel the Beat, Live the Moment” and “Unleash Your Inner Rhythm”

"Music brings us people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics, or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same."

Einheit, Energie und globaler Rhythmus

„Musik verbindet uns Menschen. Sie ermöglicht es uns, dieselben Emotionen zu erleben. Im Herzen und im Geiste sind alle Menschen gleich.
