Introducing THE GRID BANNER. What's it do? Well it bans entire grids from your region. WHY? you know why. If you need it, get a copy at cyberdatastorm.com:8002/Wizardry Easy to customize, just put the name of a grid in the notecard and click to turn it on. It's working. If someone comes and claims they got kicked but they are not from a grid on the list, then they are tricking you to get you to turn it off. This thing works 100% all the time. People can manipulate the @somegrid.com:8002 and try to mess with your head. Don't let them! :)

Good morning everyone!
I want to share a couple quick thoughts.

1. Thank you for joining me at Friends region! I appreciate and love each of you! No one, including myself, likes change. This was a rough change…..but we are together.

2. Help me get Alex and Victoria on this group if you see them.

3. I want to make sure everyone understands my home and farm is for the group. Things are still under construction….. but this is a land for you all to enjoy. Feel free to sail over anytime and explore. Gradually things will get looking better. The home and farm I am building is for all to enjoy. Please come over…..look around….and steal some drinks!
4. I currently have 3 islands still available for rent. I am very particular about renters…..I want people who will make this home and spend time here. If you know some good people, show them around. People do not have to be avi worlds, but must understand cross grid situations.
5. If people are not online, I suggest using osw to communicate. Many times messages will not be saved if person is not online because of cross grid communications. I put osw in my phone browser, so I try to stay in touch.
6. My health - I had ungodly extensive tests done in hospital…..my heart is good! I still have much weight to put on, but have added 4 lbs in last 10 days.

7. Realize this is YOUR region….and it was named for YOU. Please enjoy

Protect OpenSIM from hackers, Priscila's and DDOS atack is very easy, but most grid owners continue to not protect their grid and servers.

There is 3 simple step guide for admins:

1. Disable BUILD for all visitors, guests, friends..... ONLY OWNERS MUST BUILD! Priscila use THIS option to fill your sim with cocks!
--------------------------
YourSIM:
About land: Options:
Edit terrain: NO!!! Only SIM owner!
Fly: yes, why not?
Build: NO!!! Only SIM owners!
Object Entry: NO!!! Only SIM owners!
Run Script: yes! or mesh body like Athena will not work properly
Safe (no damage): YES!!!
-----------------------------
2. Always use router or at least software firewal:
On your router:
my server use IP port 9000-9010, some server may use 8002
don't open port 8003, 3306, 3389 or other numbers what you see somewhere!
------------------------------
config redirect
option src 'wan'
option name 'SIM'
option target 'DNAT'
option dest 'lan'
option dest_port '9000-9010'
option src_dport '9000-9010'
option reflection_src 'external'
option dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
list proto 'tcp'
list proto 'udp'


config rule
option src_port '123'
option src 'wan'
option name 'opensimDROP'
option dest 'lan'
list dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
option target 'DROP'
list proto 'udp'
option dest_port '9000'

config rule
option src_port '1900'
option src 'wan'
option name 'opensimDropp'
option dest 'lan'
list dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
option target 'DROP'
list proto 'udp'
------------------------
3. Make backups!
(option reflection_src 'external' - this is Loopback rule. In GUI this is in Advanced tab)
=========================== 2024 year additions =====================

4. NEWER allow ssh, ftp, sftp, rdp,smb or any other admin or file transfer access to the server via the same IP address! Use another hidden IP address or better VPN!

5. Backup must be on OTHER phisical device!!! Work copy on some directory is NOT BACKUP!!!

And, keep accusing me of being troll, canibal, ....(all what really is you) but if you not protect properly your server, screams will not help!

*** SEASONAL TEXTURES AVAILABLE AT FLORA* on pretty much all trees there (*). Why are u still playing green tree when its damn cold outside O.o ?????
(*) Textures not included on tropical and/or evergreen plants.

„Jetzt leuchten die Kerzen überall. Deshalb ich wünsche Euch, dass deren Wärme und Geborgenheit Euch durch das gesamte Jahr begleitet. Habt ein frohes Weihnachtsfest!“
"Now the candles shine everywhere. Therefore, I wish you that their warmth and security will accompany you throughout the year. Have a Merry Christmas!"

My 2022 Christmas gift for the community, at least for the Ruth2 v4 users:

Nail polish for Ruth2 v4.

Two boxes with BoM nail polish in 31 colours altogether. One box contains the 22 original colours from the Ruth 2.0 nail polish applier plus one bonus colour. The other one contains the 8 nail polish colours from the Ruth2 v4 HUD, but now covering the whole nail. Both sets come with a Readme notecard with instructions.

They're currently only available in the Westend (https://opensimworld.com/hop/80119) at my R2 shop (at 44/67/22, opposite the Statue of Liberty), but I've passed copies to Ai Austin, and I expect it to appear on the official R2 sim soon. I'll also roll them out to other sims offering Ruth2 v4.

Both boxes are full-perm (or should be; drop me a note if they aren't) and licensed under Creative Commons CC0. You can copy the boxes or buy the content.
