I had some time to play with PBR thank you @FerdFrederix for suggesting I try it, and as you can see it makes the jewelry look so much better!! Nice! But that means I have my work cut out for me, I have lots of jewelry to update. I will have a PBR section at the store, keeping the old classic textures because not all grids support PBR, this is the first piece I will get it in the store today sometime, Celtic Knot Picture Locket.

I decided to do a simple experiment.
On a well-known avatar of mine 1.70m tall, Legaci with big tits, definitely a dirty face of an old woman, etc. I moved only two regulators - height to 2.00m and boobs size to zero. (Got a bit skinny but...no more changes)
I went to one of the popular pseudo puritan networks and….
In less than 30 seconds TWO security guards jumped up to attack me for a child avatar….
Yes, the same avatar that I use constantly on the same network, but made taller and without silicone in the tits...

Conclusion:
Reduce your height to 1.70 (EXACT) so there is no deviation. Put 500ml of silicone in each boob (EXACTLY) and... you can use OpenSIM even though you are a child or a pedophile!
Well done!

Want your own doomsday server? Imagine having all of wikipedia downloaded to a hard drive with a program that can search and display articles. Kiwix for desktop (freeware) can do it. It even has download links under 'All Files' to d/l the wikipedia database for you making it painless. Not only that but you can download a bunch of other wiki's too. Imagine having maps of the world. Or a doomsday prep wiki. TedTalk videos. Audio books wiki. etc.
https://kiwix.org/en/applications/ - by the way, it runs on linux/mac/windows/android.

don't laugh but I am looking for animated pigs. yes. pigs :-D I saw some at a Farm, but 1) I was not able to get them and 2) I do not want to feed them. (The one you must feed or they die, I don't want)

After many requests, I've added a new Egyptian area to my store Lunaria Emporium on Wolf Territories Grid. Most of the large items are ready, except for the pyramid club which is nearly done. There are a few smaller items ready but there will be many more of those to come and some will be free. Click the Egyptian sign in the lobby to teleport there.

Phantom Rose friends... The grid is going to be down until Feb. I am traveling on a "once in a life time" trip with my husband. I am beyond excited. Since I host my own server, I have to shut down. Being out of the country for that long, there is no way for me to keep Phantom Rose safe and healthy. When I travel in the US, I am able to use my remote link to do many things, but for safety, I have decided to shut down the grid for the duration of my travels. I assure you, Phantom Rose WILL be back! Hopefully, better than ever. I have been running 24/7 since 2019 and I am looking forward to another 5 years in the Opensim Metaverse! Thank you all for your support and I will see you in February 2025!

You can technically configure an opensim server in such a way that you can connect locally AND remotely behind a loopback router... but it... is not ideal. If you configure the User Server (Robust) to run on a domain name (or free subdomain) and your region to run on static IPs, it works.

The local computer can connect by adding the server's lan ip to the grid manager in Singularity (This trick doesnt work in Firestorm).
The host computer must have the server's public IP in it's hosts file.

This configuration causes 3 major problems:
-You MUST use singularity.
-It breaks hypergrid connections (you cant return after teleporting out)
-Firefox has severe issues with reading and editing parcel information including windlight settings.

You will recieve an error in the console reading
"[LAND MANAGEMENT MODULE]: Unable to find parcelID -1"
