Name The Two OSW Users You Most Respect
1. One who shares your views and values.
2. One who is dislike you but has earned your respect.

* You need not identify which is which. :)

*Please do not be offended if you are not named, especially by your friends. Undoubtedly, they respect you, but I'm asking them to make the difficult choice to name just the people they think ALL could, more or less, agree with, and you might be too special & unique. For example, I would not name myself, as I'm likely too polarizing. (I might lead a list of the most delightfully odd and opinionated however).

*So, as difficult as it may be, please limit your response to two people.

*The topic here is respect. The tone of all comments should, of course, be respectful as well. I'm not asking for the general opinions of the relative merits of those named. If you agree or disagree with someone's choice, please keep your opinion private. Thanks for respecting the guidelines.

*Just to be clear, this is not a popularity contest. We are not voting people up or down. You might agree or disagree with the choice others make. Feel as great as you like about how your judgement is better than anyone's, but privately please.

*Message me with your names if you prefer, and I will post them without identifying you.

I'm working on a project and looking for people to work with on it. But I think this exercise could be helpful to the OSW community at large in some way.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

Eywa — Tree of Souls

In the world of Pandora, Eywa represents the spiritual connection between all living things.

This Tree of Souls was custom created for me by Lyric Alexander in 2009. It was never released or distributed — it has always been part of my original build. I remember asking Lyric if she could create it—she told me at the time how difficult it would be, but she was willing to try. She went on to bring it to life, along with the Helicoradian (accordion) plants used throughout the region. Thank you Lyric, and all the creators who worked on this project. You will find a note about it at landing.

More than a tree, it reflects living energy… a place to pause, reflect, and connect.

Come sit beneath the branches and feel it for yourself.
three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:iknimaya

Blue Moon was originally built in Virtual Highway Grid (2009). I later purchased the OAR after Tiffany Magic passed, I miss her. I rebuilt Iknimaya on my own grid using my original OAR and maintain a record of all original creators involved.

Gemütlicher Sonntagmorgen. Ich entschloss mich mal wieder meinen Clone, dessen Seele eine KI beherbergt eine Frage zu stellen, die mich ja nun zur Zeit beschäftigt. Übrigens, Script technisch eine Eigenproduktion. Wir wollen ja bei OpenSim-Themen bleiben.

01:48] Dorena1 Verne: ist die Antfa eine linksextreme terroristische Gruppe?
[01:48] Dorena die Weise: Die Frage, ob „die Antifa“ eine linksextreme terroristische Gruppe ist, wird in Politik und Medien oft diskutiert. Hier sind einige wichtige Fakten dazu:

**1. Begriffsklärung: Was ist „die Antifa“?**
- „Antifa“ ist eine Abkürzung für „Antifaschistische Aktion“. Es gibt keine einheitliche Organisation namens Antifa, sondern vielmehr lokale, lose vernetzte Gruppen und Einzelpersonen mit antifaschistischen Zielen.
- Ideologisch bewegt sich das Spektrum von gemäßigt links bis linksextrem.

Tja, ich frage mich immer wieder, warum mich so viele in den extremen Bereich drücken, obwohl meine Aktionen doch eher künstlerischer Natur und verbalen Bekenntnissen bestehen.
Die Frage konnte mir mein Clone nicht beantworten, aber Gott sei Dank gibt es hier ja einige Leute, die es scheinbar können,..wie sie meinen.
Egal, wir haben Sonntag, macht euch einen schönen Tag. :-)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A cozy Sunday morning. I decided to ask my clone again—whose soul is inhabited by an AI—a question that’s been on my mind lately. By the way, from a scripting perspective, it’s a custom creation. We want to stay within OpenSim-related topics, after all.

[01:48] Dorena1 Verne: Is Antifa a left-wing extremist terrorist group?
[01:48] Dorena the Wise: The question of whether “Antifa” is a left-wing extremist terrorist group is often debated in politics and the media. Here are some key facts:

1. Clarification: What is “Antifa”?

* “Antifa” is short for “Antifascist Action.” There is no single organization called Antifa, but rather local, loosely connected groups and individuals with antifascist goals.
* Ideologically, the spectrum ranges from moderate left to far-left.

Well, I keep wondering why so many people push me into the extremist category, even though my actions are more artistic in nature and consist mainly of verbal expressions of belief.

My clone couldn’t answer that question, but thankfully there are quite a few people here who apparently can… or at least think they can.

Skinny Dip Beach Party & DJ YANA

Zu Eddys grosser Überraschung tauchte am Samstag in Elas Cafe Landei, die lange vermisste Umoya Amirac auf. Da am Stammtisch wo Eddy sass kein Platz mehr frei war, setzte sie sich auf das Bänkchen das vor der Frontscheibe des Laden-Geschäfts steht.

i added function osGetEnvironmentVariable(string key) so i could store secret in env instead of hard-coding script :)

we don't have a built-in RFC HMAC so we can use a non-standard sig like in the example below or make osHMAC() function (i already did that if you want the code lemme know)

we use a unix timestamp to thwart off replays

i'm setting env var in my opensim.service systemd unit file, you could do it a different way if you want

i set perms for osGetEnvironment, osAESEncrypt/To, os AESDecrypt/From to GRID_GOD (user level >= 200) - in ini- that should be a good idea, you can do as you wish

OpenSim/Region/ScriptEngine/Shared/Api/Implementation/OSSL_Api.cs:

public LSL_String osGetEnvironmentVariable(string key)
{
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(key))
return LSL_String.Empty;

string? ret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(key);

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ret))
{
return ret;
} else {
OSSLShoutError("osGetEnvironmentVariable: Failed to get environment variable!");
return LSL_String.Empty;
}

}

OpenSim/Region/ScriptEngine/Shared/Api/Interface/IOSSL_Api.cs:

//ApiDesc Get System Environment Variable (string key). Returns string.
LSL_String osGetEnvironmentVariable(string key);


Shared/Api/Runtime/OSSL_Stub.cs:

[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining)]
public LSL_String osGetEnvironmentVariable(string key)
{
return m_OSSL_Functions.osGetEnvironmentVariable(key);
}


config-include/osslEnable.ini
Allow_osGetEnvironmentVariable = "GRID_GOD,"
Allow_osAESEncrypt = "GRID_GOD,"
Allow_osAESEncryptTo = "GRID_GOD,"
Allow_osAESDecrypt = "GRID_GOD,"
Allow_osAESDecryptFrom = "GRID_GOD,"


/etc/systemd/system/opensim.service:
[Service]
Environment=MYBIGSECRET=FooYeah

script in prim:

default
{
state_entry()
{
}

touch(integer n)
{
// AES encryption with HMAC signing
string secret = osGetEnvironmentVariable("MYBIGSECRET");

// build payload
string msg = "a dime a dozen";

//avoid replay
string ts = (string)llGetUnixTime();

string plaintext = llList2Json(JSON_OBJECT, [
"msg", msg,
"ts", ts
]);
string ciphertext = osAESEncrypt(secret, plaintext);
// HMAC sig [not RFC HMAC - so it's vulnerable, would need to make osHMAC() func using System.Security.Cryptography
string sig = llSHA256String(ciphertext + "|" + ts + "|" + secret);

string payload = llList2Json(JSON_OBJECT, [
"data", ciphertext,
"ts", ts,
"sig", sig
]);

llOwnerSay("the secret: " + secret);
llOwnerSay("the payload: " + payload);

string decrypted = osAESDecrypt(secret,ciphertext);
llOwnerSay("decrypted: " + decrypted);
}
}


output:
[18:55] Object: the secret: FooYeah
[18:55] Object: the payload: {"data":"035BD37FF5EEBC778050625D0D11084A:ab3ab4619621ce8ece1259da3222c97c517641091b36bb674b777482e51dfe696d61009f8926cee430ebec377d3f05f2","ts":"1776563728","sig":"b233cf71cc3a03430b47061f00bfd1f781028af36b217eb95b58c5dbe9a6e481"}

One of Opensimulator's Longest continually running Dance Parties! 14 years and counting!! LIVE DJ and Dancing!! Music from the 60's to current day!
Tonight at 8pm Pacific!
Now on OSGrid!

Thank you @JamieWright for the very cool Fedora! I added it to the Corazon del Mar cigar shoppe " La Hoja Dorada, near where Fred's fire dancer is. I am going to place the Taco trailer near the beach! I appreciate the magic you bring! 👒💐

I added some Cuban beer to the mix with the food truck. You know when I'm procrastinating on RL house chores I get a lot of building done for OpenSim. This is the last for a bit...lol I HAVE to do my laundry and cleaning now.

And another food truck inspired by Mari's beautiful Cuban Havana build (with help from Fred:) Cerdo Volador translates to Flying Pig. Here (in the contents of the food truck) you can get a Cubano sandwich with Yuca fries:)
