Zitat von Dorena: *Ich bin ebenfalls zahlender Kunde; im Gegensatz zu einigen Kritikern hier unterstütze ich diese Plattform finanziell.*
Woher willlst du denn wissen? Jeder, der 600 Coins bezahlt, um auf er Frontpage zu posten, unterstützt diese Plattform finanziell.
Quote from Dorena: *I am also a paying customer; unlike some critics here, I financially support this platform.* How do you know that? Everyone who pays 600 coins to post on their homepage financially supports this platform.

Firestorm and other viewers send identification information to grids whether you login to home, or teleport to another remote grid.

This includes your IP address, your Mac address (unique identifier assigned to a network interface), and "Id0" which is a hash of the serial number on your harddrive (plus other system information). It's a hash so it doesn't send your actual serial number.

How can these identifiers be used? They can be used to enhance blocking capabilities, such as disruptive users with bad intentions. IP based blocks/geofencing is not reliable. The Mac address provides an additional level of blocking, since the Mac does not normally change even if the IP address changes. The Disk serial adds another layer. The serial number would normally be the same no matter what viewer is used. Presently Firestorm/other viewers do not use CPU serial, motherboard serial, or TPM, or other hardware identifying information to calculate the hash.

Ways users can protect privacy and circumvent tracking.

There are software applications that can randomize your Mac and also disk serial number.
Note that changing your disk serial number can possibly cause issues with the operating system function and other applications.
Changing the Mac address on a Linux computer network interface is trivial.

Using a VM/Virtual Machine - typically VM's randomize the Mac and also there is usually a way to set it. But you'd want a good VM with GPU passthrough to get good FPS on OpenSim, like a KVM with VFIO. Using a VM can also make it easier to randomize the disk serial.

However, probably the best bet is to compile Firestorm from source (github) and modify the indra/newview/llapviewer* for your platform (like win32) and change the function generateSerialNumber(). you'll also find it easy to change the Mac address sent by modifying the Firestorm code.

For the IP you can use a VPN or something or perhaps your grid offers a direct wireguard vpn connection like my grid Holoneon. You could also use Tor onion router but the latency isn't ideal.


If you run your own grid for other users you should note that collecting Mac/disk serial number hash is possibly covered under GDPR regulations (and other rules) and possibly should be specified in your published privacy policy. Check it out!

Opensimulator automatically captures the viewer id information sent and uses it to authenticate user activity. This happens in Gatekeeper.

You can add a little module to store that in a database if you want to identify problem users.

The bouquet of flowers is on the table,and the cake and coffee are also very fresh.

Released a Fading Slide Show TV (Copy/Modify) this afternoon also. NOTE: It doesn't look like the AD. After landing at the main landing wait until you're fully rezzed and then hit this link to land in front of the item; hop://hg.twiztidtimezgrid.com:8602/Building%20Emporium/387...

login.aviworlds.com:8002:The Junction Mall
Hello, I was asked tonight why I try to hide behind another account or at the mall. I am not hiding; I am the same person. Dallas came from a long-term relationship, and now I want to clean up and move forward—nothing more.

The Junction Mall has many new items, a small coffee house, and too many products to list, as they are still being arranged. I will not post every new item because there are simply too many. The men's section is also being worked on, and it takes time for everything to come together. Additionally, there is a spot for houses and other items.

Please feel free to contact me if you are looking for something specific or have an idea. Just have fun!

In short, I don't think Politics belongs on the OSW page. There is Facebook, Instagram, tictoc and other social media platforms to express our views. Most of us come here to Opensim to escape the BS, and we use the OSW page to see what is new in Opensim, not to have to deal with more ideologies and agendas. Please keep the politics out of the OSW page.

Good afternoon! The new Release of the Shoutcast & DJ Board with Remote has been updated. This updated corrected the error that would occur every time someone selected Color from the Menu. Included a total of 202 Radio stations, an ON/OFF Button and tweaked a couple other things. Still full perm for you to use as you wish. It should be stated that we are passing it along with permissions as we found it in another grid. We just fixed existing errors and tweaked a few things and added more stations. As always you'll land in the mainlanding of Building Emporium. Wait until it's fully rezzed then hit this LINK here to land in front of the item; hop://hg.twiztidtimezgrid.com:8602/Building%20Emporium/393...

Join us at the Piazza at 3 pm grid time, for a couple of hours of fun and music while Rockin' Robert spins the tunes for us via his live radio station Wax Radio.
The Piazza, where good friends and great music always come together.

I didn’t build the Cannabis Information Center to promote anything.

I built it because I lived through it.

Years ago, I was prescribed Neurontin for nerve pain. It became toxic in my system and I spent eight hours in a code blue room. After that, I made a decision to take a different path and began using CBD as part of my care.

For the past ten years, it has helped me manage neuropathic pain, calm my nervous system, and get through the nights.

My journey hasn’t been perfect. My latest MRI shows progression. MS doesn’t move in a straight line—it surges, it settles, and sometimes it overpowers what we use to manage it.

But I also know this: CBD helped me maintain stability and function for many years.

This space was created so others can learn for themselves.

Schade das viele hier das nicht wahrhaben wollen und glauben man kann sich in virtuellen Welten diesen Wahnsinn entziehen. Glaubt, was ihr wollt, aber lasst mich hier meine Überzeugung und auch meine Meinung kundzutun. Man muss mich nicht lesen, wenn man nicht will. Aber mich und meine entsprechenden Beiträge hier zu bekämpfen, rückt euch ziemlich nahe in die Richtung, welches mein Bild aufzeigt. Schönen Tag noch.

It's a shame that many here refuse to accept this and believe they can escape this madness in virtual worlds. Believe what you want, but let me express my conviction and my opinion here. You don't have to read me if you don't want to. But attacking me and my posts here will bring you pretty close to the direction I'm painting. Have a nice day.

This is ToyBoy. We all know him as an active OpenSim user in OSW. He has many projects that inspire us, beautiful sims he invites us to, great events, technical support—what more can I say? A valiant champion of the OpenSim idea. Because of his diverse activities within Hypergrid, a certain troublemaker has rightfully caught his eye.

Now for the kicker: Dorena Verne, who occasionally posts political images with little captions. Yes, truly awful anarchist stuff from the wicked, wicked left-wing corner, ugh. Our eyes, like those of other users, are glued to these terrible images; we're paralyzed and can neither scroll on nor ignore the wicked Dorena, the power of a wicked witch.

What does Dorena actually do for OpenSim? Just offer several regions for HG visitors, hold at least one event per week. Or, yes, she recently posted a complete backup strategy for a grid under Linux.

Ridiculous!!!!

What's that compared to the sheer number of OpenSim-related posts from our highly esteemed ToyBoy? Just look at his profile; it would take you hours to take it all in!!

Yes, I'm that wicked Dorena, and I'm blushing with shame at ToyBoy's tremendous contributions to OpenSim!!

Okay, I hope you'll take this post with a grain of salt. :-)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Das ist ToyBoy. Wir kennen ihn alle als aktiven OpenSim user im OSW. Er hat viele Projekte, die uns begeistern, schöne SIM's in der er uns einlädt, tolle Events, technische Hilfen, was soll ich sagen. Ein wackerer Streiter für die OpenSim Idee. Aufgrund seiner vielfältigen Aktivitäten innerhalb des Hypergrids ist ihm rechtschaffend eine böse Userin im Auge.
Nun kommts: Dorena Verne, die hin und wieder auch mal politische Bilder mit kleinen Bilderkommentaren postet. Ja, wirklich ganz schlimmes anarchistisches Zeug aus der bösen, bösen linken Ecke, pfui. Die Augen, wie auch die anderer User kleben an diesen furchtbaren Bildern fest, Sie sind gelähmt und können weder weiterscrollen noch die böse Dorena ignorieren, die Macht einer bösen Hexe.
Was tut Dorena schon groß für OpenSim? Nur etliche Regionen für HG-Besucher anbieten, mindestens einmal die Woche ein Event. Oder, ja vor kurzen mal eine komplette Backupstrategie für ein Grid unter Linux gepostet.
Lächerlich!!!!
Was ist das schon gegen die Vielzahl an themenbezogenen OpenSim Beiträgen unseres hochgeschätzten ToyBoy? Schaut in sein Profil, ihr werdet Stunden brauchen diese Menge zu erfassen!!
Ja, ich bin diese böse Dorena und Schamesröte steigt mir ins Gesicht ob dieser gewaltigen Einsätze von Toyboy für OpenSim!!
Ok, hoffe ihr seht diesen Beitrag mit etwas Humor. :-)

NEW at Bodies & Clothing: Lots and lots of new female hairstyles, from short to mid length and from long to OMG I stepped on it long. Come see for yourself at Bodies & Clothing, take the "girl hair" (yes, I know, but I was limited in the number of characters I could use so "female hair" didn't fit) option from the telepad menu and stock up on new gorgeous hair.

Sonntag:
🔥 Chippendales‑Party – heiß, laut & legendär! 🔥
Mach dich bereit für einen Abend, an dem die Temperaturen steigen und die Stimmung explodiert.
DJane Loru wirbelt durch die Beats, Plattenschubse Marina bringt die Platten zum Glühen –
und auf der Bühne warten heiße Männer, die eine Showeinlage hinlegen,
bei der selbst der Bildschirm errötet.
Humor, Hüftschwung und ein Hauch Chaos inklusive.

THE INIQUITOUS FUN FAIR — An OpenSim Story

What a crazy time we live in. The news cycle shows you a town in crisis while HIDING the story which should get coverage. But here in OpenSim, we have a Virtual Town in Crisis; that is... THE REAL STORY... and all of you are invited.

Dismayland exists because of worldly conflict. It was inspired by Banksy, whose art has always held a mirror to the absurd. As an NPC enthusiast, I found a wellspring of ideas to draw from, even without seeing the original exhibit in person. My thought was simple: What if theme parks were truly honest with their customers?

As a Florida resident within driving distance of every major theme park... and well aware of the drama surrounding them... this scenario was too good to pass up. Everything here is fictitious, but loosely based on reality in ways that will be obvious only to those who follow local news. Take that for what you will.

What we have here is a Digital Virtual Novel you can explore. Leave your worries behind. Enjoy a nonsensical portrayal of the ridiculous... because that is what entertainment is. Nothing that happens here influences the outside world, as someone was kind enough to point out. What is a virtual novel without plot twists, corruption and some intrigue?

Enter the Dismayland Scavenger Hunt.

Dirty Helga and I were brainstorming maddening additions for Dismayland. I reject most of what Hollywood produces these days, so I turned to older films for inspiration. I have seen scavenger hunts before but they were far too easy. I wanted something epic.. something outright crazy, yet honestly solvable.

What emerged: a game board that remotely renames objects, a separate script that deploys roaming 'sploder' drones dropping clues, deceitful NPCs, misdirection, MISINFORMATION and a cow being abducted by aliens who holds nothing but contempt for that insufferable game board. All of these elements were already present in Dismayland. I just needed code to make it all work together... and that is where the turpitude of Dirty Helga shines. Nobody knows the lore better than her, and she was instrumental in stitching it all together.

There will always be some politics in OpenSim. My plan is to keep whatever exists here specific to the grid... not reality. When you're ready for your ESCAPE, The Iniquitous Fun Fair awaits.

Most mornings I am at Dismayland sipping coffee with my script editor open. Care to pop in for some coding conversation?
Maybe I can start using the Happy Hour feature.

IT'S FRIDAY and it means it’s that time of the day to join DeeJay Sofee from **6AM to 8AM** (grid time) at the Alternate Metaverse Main Landing Point!

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

Let DeeJay Sofee wake your Friday morning up the Sofee Way and to start your day with a BIG Bowl full of Energy to get your day started.

Come on over and Wake up the Sofee Way and celebrate being alive this beautiful Friday morning!

Lets GET LOUD this FRIDAY MORNING with MODERN COUNTRY MORNING together!!

Thank you to Dorena for creating this original banner! I have taken it and made a banner for my profile. ANTIFA is NOT an organization. It is an ideology. The ideology of anti-fascism. I will be using this as a base. And I will ensure that the art festival supports my political message. Because ART is POLITICAL. It always has been. It always will be.

I have this great review I want to share about Dismayland by Spax Orion https://opensimworld.com/user/Brettson

If you havent checked it out please do. Spax and his cool twisted mind knew what he was doing when he built this. There is no region anywhere like it.

The scripts alone speak for themselves. It is dark, creepy, funny and lots of fun.

I had a chance to check out his new ScavHunt game. The past few days I have spent hours in his region just playing that game and trying to win it which I eventually did. Maybe with a little help lol. It is one of those games that keeps you on the edge.

The region is like walking through a bad nightmare but in a cool twisted way that you get curious enough to check it out.

His mind created things that I would have never guessed you could even do in opensim. The detail, the music, the afterlife the insanity lol. It is a great region.

All I got to say is hats off to Spax and if you all want to check it out, copy the link below and put it into the map.

OR...

Should freedom of expression, parody and creativity be allowed and even encouraged?
Or should it be blocked for all by the few or the one.
I have no drama in anyone blocking me, I'm an adult.
Use the vote you have, but both sides should have a say.
