Not many people know this, but I underwent major surgery on January 16 and am still recovering. That is why you have not been seeing me in-world as much lately.

I kept this mostly private, but I realize that doing so may have left some of you wondering, especially those visiting my shopping regions and waiting longer than usual for responses. I apologize for the delays and appreciate your patience.

The surgery was successful, but healing has been slower than I hoped, and rebuilding my energy has been a challenge. I am doing my best and gradually increasing my time online. I check Facebook and Discord daily, so those are the best ways to reach me for now rather than in-world messages.

I have many projects on hold that I am looking forward to resuming. I am adding new content to the store and will make an announcement as soon as everything is fully ready.

If you visit the shop and an item is not set for sale, it simply means it still needs final work. Please do not request early copies. I do not have the energy to rush custom requests at this time. Once items are ready, they will be available. In the meantime, there is plenty of original content available now.

Now that you know what has been going on, I would deeply appreciate your prayers, chants, healing thoughts, or whatever form of good energy you practice. It has been a difficult season, but I am improving each day. I miss being in-world with you all and look forward to returning more fully soon.

With love and gratitude.

AHOY, YE LANDLUBBERS!

This afternoon, at the ungodly hour of 12:30 PM PST / 9:30 PM CET, the cannons shall BOOM, KABOOM, and possibly go PEW-PEW in the legendary Catronian Archipelago! It's Celyddon Navy ships versus fearless privateers — basically the world's most dramatic game of sailing boats, but with more explosions and significantly less safety

YOU can be part of this glorious chaos! Fancy yourself a captain? Grab the wheel and try not to crash into anything important. More of a "point and shoot" kind of person? Hop on as a gunner and unleash your inner toddler-with-a-toy-cannon energy. Or, if commitment terrifies you, just show up as a spectator and pretend you knew what was going on the whole time.

We'll be waiting for you — and please, for the love of all things nautical, show up a little early. The cannons wait for no one.

It's time to Bounce out of your Bed and grab your coffee mug, and teleport over to the Main Landing Point.

Today’s Genre: It's Freaky Friday Mix!!!.
Come on over and Wake up the Sofee Way and celebrate being alive this beautiful Friday morning!

Viele neue Outfits für XARA bei BK-Mode

Xara zeigt wieder einmal, wie vielseitig Stil sein kann, wenn man ihn einfach lebt. Mal elegant, mal verspielt, mal mit einem Hauch „Ich weiß genau, was ich tue“ – und immer mit dieser mühelosen Selbstverständlichkeit, die Mode erst richtig spannend macht.

Bei BK‑Mode geht es nicht darum, sich zu verkleiden. Es geht darum, sich zu zeigen. Und Xara macht vor, wie das aussieht, wenn man’s mit einem Augenzwinkern und einer Portion Attitude trägt.

Backup-Dokumentation (Borg, Linux, getrennte Server-Struktur)
Backup documentation (Borg, Linux, separate server structure)

In den letzten Wochen habe ich mein Backup-System grundlegend überarbeitet und neu strukturiert.
Ziel war eine saubere, automatisierte Lösung mit klarer Trennung zwischen Produktionsserver und externem Backup-Server.

Das System basiert auf:
• verschlüsselten Borg-Backups
• getrennten Backup-Skripten für Dateien und Datenbanken
• zeitlich versetzten Cron-Jobs
• klar definierten Aufbewahrungsregeln
• vollständig dokumentierten Wiederherstellungsszenarien

Die Dokumentation ist bewusst allgemein formuliert und nicht auf ein spezielles Grid oder eine konkrete Datenbank zugeschnitten.
Sie kann als Anleitung für andere Administratoren dienen, die eine ähnliche Struktur umsetzen möchten.

Enthalten sind unter anderem:
• komplette Einrichtungsschritte (Repository, SSH, Passphrase-Automation)
• Beispiel-Skripte für tägliche und wöchentliche Backups
• Retention-/Prune-Strategien
• Log- und Kontrollmechanismen
• Restore einzelner Dateien
• Datenbank-Rücksicherung
• vollständiger Disaster-Recovery-Ablauf

Die PDF ist zweisprachig (Deutsch/Englisch) aufgebaut.

Download hier: http://dorenas-world.de/downloads/Anleitung-Borg.pdf

Over the past few weeks, I've completely revamped and restructured my backup system.

The goal was a clean, automated solution with a clear separation between the production server and the external backup server.

The system is based on:

• encrypted Borg backups
• separate backup scripts for files and databases
• staggered cron jobs
• clearly defined retention rules
• fully documented recovery scenarios

The documentation is intentionally general and not tailored to a specific grid or database.

It can serve as a guide for other administrators who want to implement a similar structure.


Included are:

• Complete setup steps (repository, SSH, passphrase automation)

• Sample scripts for daily and weekly backups
• Retention/prune strategies
• Logging and control mechanisms
• Restore of individual files
• Database recovery
• Complete disaster recovery process

The PDF is bilingual (German/English).

Please do not take items from the SimGear store or the store with opensim collars/scripts and place them in your own store. I already see these items in another store.

There are only a few people authorized to distribute SimGear products and spax has requestion that others dont just take the items to place in there own store. It is also in a notecard in all the boxes.

Opensim collars will have at least one more update, but to limit outdated collars across opensim, please do not just take the items to put in your own store. Even tho i didn't make the scripts or collars, I have permission from the creator to distribute the items and do the work to update them when an update rolls out. I did take time and effort to provide all of this for everyone to enjoy.

Hello everyone! :)
I would like to invite you to my performance at Speakeasy Swinghard today!!
Alternate Metaverse -11:00am-12:30
Casual, Fun, Friendly Gathering!
Would love to sing your favorites from 900+ variety song list.
Hugs and hopefully see you soon!!

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.
