From an art pop-up in a local library to a community studio or gallery, at its heart, an Art Hive is about inclusion, respect and learning. It's a welcoming place to talk, make art and build communities. Responding in creative ways to things that matter.

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.

Love has a new stage, and it's the most iconic one in Paris. We invite you to an exclusive evening where dreams come true and music caresses the soul.

The Place: The Eiffel Tower, Paris (We will depart from the top)

The Night's Charm:

The evening will begin with the captivating voice of the talented singer Lucrezia Angel, who will perform the most romantic melodies to celebrate love in all its forms. Let yourself be enveloped by her unique interpretation as the lights of Paris twinkle at your feet.

And when the moon dominates the Parisian sky, passion will transform into rhythm. The renowned DJ Stelina will take control of the night, flooding it with the best beats, creating the perfect atmosphere to dance cheek to cheek until dawn.

An intimate, elegant, and magical night in the world's most emblematic location. Glasses will be raised for toasts, gazes will meet, and the music will be the common thread of a story you will remember always

Alaaf, Helau und haltet eure Hüte fest – der Karneval ist los!
Am 15.02.2026 wird’s beim Lumpenball herrlich chaotisch.
Ab 20:00 Uhr drehen DJ Kai und Plattenschubse Marina so richtig auf – musikalisch irgendwo zwischen „Oh nein, nicht das Lied!“ und „Geil, mach lauter!“.
Kommt wie ihr seid, verkleidet euch wie ihr wollt -
Hauptsache, ihr seid dabei, wenn wir die Hütte zum Wackeln bringen.

Reborn und Waifu - neue Outfits zum verlieben

Reborn hat die Garderobe wieder einmal großzügig aufgefüllt: Acht neue Outfits sind eingezogen, und sechs davon stehen auch der Waifu so gut, dass sie vermutlich schon heimlich Selfies macht.

Die Auswahl reicht vom beinahe‑nicht‑vorhandenen Microbikini bis zum Abendkleid, das beim Betreten des Raums automatisch einen leichten Windstoß verlangt.

Kurz: Ein kleines Modespektakel für alle, die gern zwischen ‚frech‘ und ‚fabelhaft‘ wechseln.“

🌙 Global Loving‑Kindness Meditation – Wednesday Evening

SL Grid Time / Pacific Time: 1:30 PM – 4:30 PM PT


Wednesday eveninig we join the Global Loving‑Kindness Meditation, together with the Vipassana monks who walked all the way from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington D.C. in a journey of peace, compassion, and unwavering dedication.

Please remember: no shoes are allowed inside the Dhamma Hall.
Enter with quiet steps and a peaceful heart.

We honor these Vipassana meditators, the monks, and the teachers who guide this practice.
We offer special gratitude to Aloka the rescue dog, whose strength, devotion, and tireless work helped make this gathering possible.

Wherever you are, however your day has been,
you may breathe, soften, and arrive fully in this moment.

May all beings be safe.
May all beings find rest.
May all beings receive love.

May the peace carried on their long walk,
the peace cultivated in their silence,
and the peace we create together tonight
spread across the world like a gentle light.
