SECURITY: How your grid CAN handle HG traveler assets.

Opensimulator documentation is available but how many of us fully utilize it?

I have a confession to make: I feel like a complete imbecile! I followed instructions on some klutz of a website which gave me instructions on running a standalone grid... GREAT... everything is up and running smoothly. Now lets build some worlds and secure my....

EGAD! Suddenly, it dawned on me, I have been using this software for years and I did not completely READ THE F⭐⭐⭐ING MANUAL!

As a refugee from several worlds, my hosting journey began with a standalone setup, where I was blissfully unaware of the complexities involved in the handling of assets from hypergrid travelers. As a former Kitely merchant, I am looking into ways people can interact with my creations without taking them. Out of ignorance, I took the wrong security measures.

One of the common misconceptions that led to limitations, such as banning prim or mesh attachments (to avoid cheating) at Dismayland, is the belief that the server must download and store visitor assets to display them properly. This is not entirely true. By applying specific precautions, you can prevent visitor assets from being stored or affecting your environment.

So if you do not want "SL-Lara" on your grid, or you do not want the rot from someone's full suitcase, you can rest in the comfort of knowing their assets will not infect your world if you take the following precautions...

Restricting the ability for hypergrid visitors to rez objects or execute scripts is crucial. By doing so, you can effectively ensure that their assets are not saved in your database, significantly reducing the risks of unwanted modifications or overwrites. This approach provides a balanced way to maintain control over your creations while still offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy your content visually.

By understanding how asset management works in OpenSim and applying the correct security measures, you can create an environment that respects the creative efforts of your residents while sharing the beauty of your virtual worlds with others.

This approach is not without caveats: when you travel to other worlds, you WILL appear as a blob while your viewer shows you a cached appearance. It will not stop copycats, the most determined rippers can easily grab what is seen, but without your code and hidden assets, those useless rips end up in stuff boxes, wasting valuable server resources. There is nothing I enjoy more than making clever obstacles in today's virtual 'Wild Wild West'!

TL;DR: When we share knowledge openly and freely, EVERYONE BENEFITS.

Debuting in Alternate Metaverse, At 10AM PST (Grid time) At Debbie's Pink Pony Club, Casaenia sings in English with a range of cover songs that goes from ballads, pop, rock, and other variety of sounds within these styles. She is an entertainer at heart with a hope of sharing this love of music with others. Bringing joy & good vibes to all.
She is ready to rock the Alternate Meta-verse Stages!

come one, come all and experience an amazing voice, with an amazing vocal range! not one to be missed!

🇪🇸; Nota para nuestros residentes españoles:
En esta casa también sois familia, y vuestra energía es fuego puro. Por eso abrimos la sesión con varias pistas españolas elegidas con intención, con cariño y con ese toque de pasión que solo vosotros sabéis encender. Queremos que, desde el primer compás, sintáis que esta mezcla os abraza, os llama, os reconoce.

Vuestra presencia no pasa desapercibida: se siente en el ambiente, en el ritmo, en la manera en que respondéis a cada subida y cada caída. Vuestra voz importa, vuestra alegría importa, y vuestra forma de vivir la música, con el pecho abierto y el alma en alto, inspira esta sesión.

Esta mezcla también es para vosotros: para los que bailan sin vergüenza, para los que celebran cada beat como si fuera un brindis, para los que convierten cualquier momento en una fiesta. Gracias por traer vuestra chispa, vuestra fuerza y vuestra verdad. Hoy, esta pista también late con vuestro corazón.

Yana Dakota

After a thorough optimization spree, it is time to roll out the next version of everyone's favorite abomination, Dismayland! I have a special announcement for those of you who did not know, the original prim and mesh attachment ban has been lifted. So... on your next vacation EMBRACE A LITTLE CHAOS! You might have the time of your life. This work embraces a playful sense of the absurd, which can really resonate with those who enjoy the unconventional. Mature Audiences Only.

The Devil And The Almighty Blues

In der norwegischen Hauptstadt Oslo formierte sich vor über einem Jahrzehnt eine musikalische Vereinigung,
die den Blues nicht nur spielen, sondern ihn förmlich sezieren und neu zusammensetzen wollte.
The Devil and the Almighty Blues entstanden aus dem Wunsch heraus, die tiefe Melancholie und die rohe Energie
des traditionellen Delta-Blues mit der Wucht des modernen Stoner-Rock und dem Geist der 70er Jahre zu verheiraten.
Es war eine bewusste Abkehr von der polierten, technischen Perfektion moderner Produktionen. ...

We're making progress! Today we finished the spike, which can drain 10, 25, or even 40 liters of vital fluid. I'll add the video of the spike once I've finished the Soul Reaper, which is the next step. I apologize for the delay, but between my day job, family life, and other commitments besides OpenSimulator, I haven't been able to find much time to dedicate to it. You can watch the video of what I've already accomplished, keeping in mind that the spike wasn't finished at the time of filming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQJIaxfVj_Q

Thank you for your patience.

Now check out this little beauty!! It's a lamp that is two lovers dancing in front of a heart shaped moon, ahh but there is more; it is also musical and plays some very sweet love songs. So, lights, camera, action and create your very own gorgeous love adventure with this beautiful lamp by yours truly! You will find it in the Holidays & Season's section of the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Well Christmas 2025 is over and now belongs to the ages, 2025 is over and belongs to the ages as we continue endlessly moving forward and growing, but not to despair about what is gone, no we celebrate so much in the year to come, especially those we LOVE the most - friends, family, and our significant other, and so with that in mind I have created some "VALENTINES" items for y'all! They are found in the Holidays & Seasons section of the Mall. Drop by and check them out. I'm putting the Valentines stuff out early because we who own the grid are moving this month and well we have a month's worth of packing and scheduling and address changes, utilities to turn off and utilities to turn on, I'm sure if you've done any moving you know how very busy it can be. And well, I didn't want to let you down and miss making Valentines stuff for y'all to enjoy. C'mon over and check it out and there will be more very soon. Blessings and much love, Lavia!
