The Forgotten Art of Being Human

We live in a world where it has become easy to judge and difficult to understand.

A world where people are often measured by a single mistake, a rumor, an accusation, a disagreement, or even by the opinions of others. We have become quick to label, quick to condemn, and sometimes painfully slow to listen.

Yet every person carries a story that no outsider can fully see.

Behind every avatar, profile, username, face, or voice is a human being with experiences, wounds, dreams, fears, hopes, victories, and failures. None of us arrived at this moment through the same road. We were raised in different cultures, different countries, different families, and different belief systems. We learned different lessons and carry different truths.

Why then do we so often expect everyone to think the same?

Why do we become angry when someone sees the world differently?

Diversity is not only about appearance, nationality, or language. True diversity is also the ability to accept that another person may hold a different view of life without becoming our enemy.

The greatest strength of humanity has never been conformity.

It has always been our ability to coexist despite our differences.

What troubles me most is how easily people forget the value of loyalty.

Loyalty is a rare treasure.

A loyal person does not always agree with you. A loyal person is not perfect. A loyal person may make mistakes. But loyalty means standing by principles, standing by friends, standing by truth as best as one understands it, and standing by commitments even when circumstances become difficult.

Yet today, loyalty is often questioned before it is understood.

Trust is replaced by suspicion.

Conversation is replaced by assumption.

Character is replaced by gossip.

How many good people have been hurt because others decided to believe a story before they knew the person?

How many friendships have been lost because people listened to rumors instead of speaking directly to one another?

How many communities have damaged themselves by creating division where understanding could have existed?

We often speak about building better worlds, better communities, and better societies.

Yet no better world can be built on constant suspicion.

No community becomes stronger by humiliating its own members.

No person becomes wiser by hurting another.

Perhaps we should ask ourselves a simple question:

What kind of human being do I want to be?

Not what others are doing.

Not what others deserve.

Not what others believe.

But what kind of person do I choose to become?

Do I choose kindness when it is difficult?

Do I choose patience when I am frustrated?

Do I choose honesty when lies are easier?

Do I choose understanding when judgment is tempting?

Life itself is already challenging enough.

Every one of us is fighting battles that others cannot see.

Every one of us carries burdens invisible to the outside world.

Every one of us is limited by time.

One day our lives will end.

When that day comes, very few people will remember who won an argument.

Very few people will remember who complained the loudest.

Very few people will remember who was right on every issue.

But people will remember how we treated them.

They will remember who offered a helping hand.

Who listened.

Who forgave.

Who showed courage.

Who showed kindness.

Who remained loyal.

In the end, our character is the only thing that truly belongs to us.

So let us be careful with each other.

Let us remember that behind every screen is a living human soul.

Let us stop assuming the worst and start searching for understanding.

Let us leave room for mistakes, growth, and redemption.

And above all, let us never forget that being human is far more important than being right.

Because the world does not need more outrage.

It needs more humanity.

Act Now for a Peaceful World

In a time of turbulence, tumult, and uncertainty, it is critical for everyone to take concrete action to mobilize for peace.

From peacekeepers on the front lines of conflict, to community members, to students in classrooms around the world, everyone has a role to play. We must speak up against violence, hate, discrimination, and inequality; practice respect; and embrace the diversity of our world.

There are many ways to act right now. Spark conversations about the urgent need for understanding, non-violence, and disarmament. Volunteer in your community, listen to voices different from your own, challenge discriminatory language in your workplace, report bullying both online and offline, and take the time to verify facts before you post on social media.

As has become tradition we support a number of causes such as:
UNICEF
United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees
United Nations Refugee Agency
United Nations World Food Program
United Nations Human Rights
Amnesty International

You can send in proof of donations and get a Mini Sim for 3 months for free

Join us on Events region on the 21st for 4 hours with 3 of our best DJs:

- 10am HAZELI TO with her love of the world mix
- 11am MATTIE doing a sympathetic peace mix for two hours
- 1pm will see the BIG BOSS VINCENT spin us out with a soft rock set

Was für ein Verhalten von den Betreibern von Virtual Vista Metaworld, ich habe meinem Herzen Luft ngemacht über das Verhalten der zwei und einen Comment geschrieben, innerhalb kürzester Zeit gelöscht.
Nun habe ich Antwort von Emma bekommen:
Also du bist ja der allerletzte, mit welchem recht wirst du beleidigend. Du hattest immer einen gut laufenden grid, der von unserer Entwicklerin gewartet wird. Deine üble Nachrede zeugt von deinem üblen Charackter. Schäme dich und geh uns aus dem weg. Solche leute wie du sind bei uns nicht erwünscht, und wollen wir auh nicht. Und pass blos auf das deine üble phrophezeiung nicht au dich selbst zurück fällt. Zum Glück besteht Opensim nicht aus solchen Leuten und Konsorten wie du einer bist.

Wow was für eine Betreiberin und was für eine Antwort von ihr.

Ich habe niemand beleidigt und nur Tatsachen benannt, aber damit kann man wohl nicht umgehen.

Read on.

Do you want a region on your grid that is part of the CopyKat Collective? Of course you do! There are many places we could rent a region. But we are looking for someone to subsidize the effort to preserve the legacy and grow the future of what was the #2 traffic grid in OS.

This region will serve as home base for the CopyKat Collective. A single full use region is all we ask. Fast server a plus. Full powers needed.

If you remember Adachi, you will be familiar with what we plan for this Collective home base region. We will have a landing zone adjacent dance and hang out area. We will offer a wall of new items to be found on our Collective member regions. And we will have a wall with a HG TP boards to those regions. Sound good?

And if you could provide a home at no cost to other Collective member regions, all the better. For example, my oh HELLO shop was #2 in CopyKat grid traffic. Oni said it brought more people to the grid. Tempt me with an offer of a free region for the shop. But my first priority is establishing a home region for the CopyKat Collective. Message me if you can help.

Hello folks.. I have a situation that's been brought to my attention. I loaded a 2 year old OAR of an old region I had, where I had a newbies shop for new musicians coming to open sim.. the idea was to collect free starter stuff and have it in one place, because open sim is quite confusing to people who have never been here before..

So.. when I reopened virtual melody, I loaded the old oar.. and one some of the items.. it changed the name of the creator on some of the items to MY name! I did not create these items.. I do not own these items.. I even have poster boards up explaining that the items in the shop were all collected for free on the hypergrid and that I don't own them.. This has never happened to me before and I'm seriously upset that it's happened now. Has anyone else had any issues with loading old oars like this? I have to go through all of the items now to make sure my name is not set as owner! To the people, who do create these items, I'm truly very sorry that this has happened. I will fix it!

Happy New Year to all Opensim grid owners and users alike. I just want to add my thoughts as a few others have on the past year. We have all seen growth or maybe a decline in our grids and even so far as to have our grids banned by other grid owners. Isn't it bad enough real life has tossed us a pandemic to deal with. Losing Family & Friends we have cherished for years to a sickness we can't get control of. We all come online to escape real life even if just for a few hours, to forget our troubles and just have that bit of time to relax, have fun ... and maybe meet a new friend or two.

I recently had one of my users come to me and say why am I banned from such and such grid? My answer of course is "I have no idea no one has contacted me about any issues." I can tell you this ....if I have an issue with a user visiting my grid I am going to ban the offending user/users not the grid they came from. Banning the whole grid for the unfortunate actions of 1 or 2 users in my opinion is childish and very unfair to all the good users from that grid that have the same lets have fun and meet new people and share what each of us have to offer mind set. After all isn't Opensim supposed to be about offering a place to enjoy the free time you wish to spend online when you access a grid?

I and my partner have and will always try to offer a peaceful and enjoyable experience for users of our grid. If you have had an issue with one of our users please don't ban the grid ban the offending user/users and please feel free to contact me regarding any user from the grid. I am one of those No Tolerance for crap people that will not stand for a user tarnishing our grid by doing something they shouldn't. They want to do that crap it's time for them to move on find someplace else where it's acceptable or get their own grid. We have already banned and deleted one user for unacceptable activity and I am not afraid to do it again if needed.

I like to think and I'm sure I have shown to many visitors I am a very reasonable person to deal with. And I try to act on issues ASAP so the grid is enjoyable for users and visitors alike. See something you don't agree with message me and lets talk. Have a user issue message me and let me know so we can get any issues resolved quickly so we can get back to enjoying our grids and members.


Lets make 2022 a year of change for each of us in Opensim. Lets enjoy our online time helping each other, providing fun places and content for members and visitors to our grids, and working together to resolve any issues that arise in an adult manner.

LETS TALK !!!!!

The world is changing.
Not always quietly.

Sometimes it is the flames
that consume forests,
drive away wildlife,
and take people's homes.

Sometimes it is war,
persecution,
and despair
that force families
to trust their lives
to small, unseaworthy boats.

Two different tragedies.
Yet both are born
from the same longing:
to live.
To be safe.
To have a future.

This image is dedicated
to those who help,
without asking about nationality,
religion,
or the color of someone's skin.
To the people
who give their strength
so that others may keep living.

Perhaps hope begins
the moment compassion
becomes stronger
than fear and indifference.

It is with profound sadness that we have to announce the passing of our beloved Ashton "Numa" Nobilis. Ashton was not only the lead designer and one of the owners of Littlefield Grid, but he was one of the early developers of Opensimulator.
There are no words to describe the pain I feel at the loss of one of my best friends in the world and a man I called brother. We will remember him always. He was a wonderful and brilliant man, and he will be sorely missed.

We will be holding a memorial service for him at Stonehaven Island later this week with a date to be determined.

God bless you Ashton, I love you my brother, and I will miss you dearly.

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

Reposting this as it is an important fix any grid can and should run. There is a patch in core Opensimulator code as of 2/15 to allow outfits to load correctly without breaking links. This has been a bug forever, and was caused by loading IARs. For the those grids that do not use core's latest 0.9.3.1 dev (PBR), I have SQL for grid owners to fix their broken links in outfits. DreamGrid has this patch for future uploads, and also will run this SQL to repair all old outfits. You need do nothing except update to the latest DreamGrid 6.02 (Non PBR) or 7.02 (PBR). DreamGrid will automatically fix old as well as IAR uploads, even in V6 series which is Opensim 0.9.2 ( Non PBR )

Mysql SQL code is this:
use robust; //with whatever your database is. For standalones it may be 'opensim' as there is no robust.
show databases; // will show you which databases you have and their names.

use robust;
update inventoryfolders set type = 47 where foldername='My Outfits' and type = -1;

This fixes all old links. You need the patched Opensim to fix future links, OR you can run this again after loading an IAR. You do not have to do this, links can be fixed in the viewer but it's a tad tedious.

Grids will need to compile dev master from Feb 15 or later to make this automatic fix when loading of IARS. If you can't do that, just run this SQL after any IAR load.

Please be aware you should backup your robust database first, just in case. The details for coders is at http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=9180

**A Tribute to Verna Avril: DJ, Creator, and Friend**
Today, we pause to honor and celebrate the extraordinary Verna Avril, a beloved DJ at Event Plaza, an accomplished builder, and a cherished friend to so many. Verna has recently been diagnosed with late-stage cancer, and while the news has left us heartbroken, her unwavering spirit continues to shine brightly in the time she has left.

For those who have had the privilege of knowing Verna, you know her as a force of nature. Her music has been the heartbeat of Event Plaza, where she transforms gatherings into magical experiences, spinning tracks that bring people together and create memories that last a lifetime. As a DJ, Verna doesn’t just play music—she shares her soul through every beat and rhythm.

Beyond her music, Verna is a visionary builder and creator. She owns and curates numerous regions, each a testament to her incredible talent and love for creating beautiful spaces. Her worlds are filled with life, imagination, and wonder—a reflection of her boundless creativity and dedication.

Verna’s style and charisma are as unforgettable as her music. Always impeccably dressed in her signature short black dresses, she carries herself with grace and confidence that inspire those around her. But it’s her warmth, kindness, and generosity that truly make her unforgettable.

In this challenging time, Verna has shown us the depth of her strength. Even as she faces this diagnosis, she continues to remind us of the importance of living fully, loving deeply, and creating beauty wherever we can.

As her community, let us rally around her with our love and support. Share your stories, your memories, and your gratitude for the joy she’s brought into your life. Let’s celebrate Verna Avril—not just for what she’s accomplished, but for who she is: a beacon of light, creativity, and love.

We don’t know how much time we have left with her, but we do know this—every moment with Verna is a gift. Let’s cherish these moments together and honor her legacy, now and always.

Stay strong, Verna. You are loved more than words can express. 💖

Aussie and I will be hosting an event to celebrate our friend Verna Avril. In the meantime, please post messages for her here as she cannot be in Opensim but can read this website. Thank you in advance for posting for her! I will make all the messages and stories into an online book for Verna.

PAGANE WAS RIGHT!
From the firestorm creators own website, I quote. "There are occasions when a block is probably best for everyone. As an example, we can consider the recent 6.6.16 release, which had the potential to mess up inventory. That needed to be blocked to stop people from “hurting themselves” and causing ourselves and Linden Lab undue support overheads."

GET A TEXT MESSAGE ON YOUR CELL PHONE WHEN A REGION GOES DOWN.
How to get text messages, emails, pushover, telegram, and jabber alerts if a region goes down on your grid. Well it's easy. Download servermonitor from https://github.com/phpservermon/phpservermon Next unzip it and upload it to your linux box. I put the files in /var/www/html/servermonitor.
Next get on your web browser and go to websiteaddress.com/servermonitor/install.php Fill in the questions. Set up a web database of your choosing. Create a user and a password. I did this: create database servers; create user 'someone'@'localhost' identified by 'password'; grant all on servers.* to 'someone'@'localhost'; flush priveleges;
Once that is set up, it's a breeze. Use the web interface to add servers to your list. For regions just enter a service and the port number the region is on. example service, custom port, 8007 Then select how you want to be notified if the region goes down. e.g. email or sms text message, etc. Finally using crontab -e enter * * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/servermonitor/cron/status.cron.php You are done. Now if one of your regions goes offline you will know about it in 60 seconds. Also you can add websites to the list to be monitored, mail servers, any kind of server really. It has a looooong list of server types that can be added. (very handy). Additionally you can click on a region and see it's uptime plotted hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly as well as LATENCY. We all know how important latency is for showing lag. :) Enjoy!
Note: LINK FIXED
Note: When they go offline the console shows them as red. Also you get a text message, email, etc.

I want to ask the Opensim community... Is it normal that the objects that an Avitron user gives you, can not be loaded in another sim?

You actually have to follow the instructions on imagmagik and install it. It's not partly installed on dreamgrid. It's the default php.ini It's not installed at all.
