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.

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.

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!

Jefferson Airplane

Die Geschichte von Jefferson Airplane ist untrennbar mit dem kulturellen Beben der 1960er Jahre verbunden.
Alles begann im Jahr 1965 in San Francisco, einer Stadt, die zum Epizentrum einer neuen Lebensphilosophie wurde.
Marty Balin, ein visionärer Musiker, suchte nach einem Weg, den Folk mit der Energie des Rock zu verbinden.....

Wünsche Euch allen ein frohes neues Jahr, naja fast allen. :D

Dear clients,

The new server currently in operation does not yet meet the level of network stability and performance we require. We deliberately prioritize slightly longer simulator loading times in favor of a far more stable Internet connection and a smoother, more reliable avatar loading experience.

For this reason, Sunlight-Production will carry out an exceptional and unplanned full service interruption during the day, lasting a few hours. This intervention is necessary to restore the services under the same conditions as last week and to regain the level of stability that defines the Sunlight-Region standards.

We are doing everything possible to minimize the impact of this maintenance and sincerely thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sunlight-Production Team

Happy New Year to all!

CCC & The Cube, as well as all Sunlight Regions, will be offline until further notice due to server maintenance. We will inform you as soon as everything is resolved. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Just as stars shine brightest on the darkest nights, we too can find our inner light in difficult times. May your light shine even brighter in 2026, illuminating your own path and guiding others.

Each new year is a magical opportunity to start over. Leave behind what no longer serves you and embrace the unknown with courage. The future is full of possibilities and promises.

Happy New Year!
That's what we wish for everyone!
=================================================================
Assim como as estrelas brilham mais intensamente nas noites mais escuras, também podemos encontrar nossa luz interior nos momentos difíceis. Que em 2026 sua luz brilhe ainda mais forte, iluminando seu próprio caminho e guiando os outros.

Cada novo ano é uma oportunidade mágica de recomeçar. Deixe para trás o que não serve mais e abrace o desconhecido com coragem. O futuro é cheio de possibilidades e promessas.

Feliz Ano Novo!
E´o que desejamos a todos!
Klaus e Rebekah Mikaelson

working on speeding up FSAssetService, i noticed in the loop it's got hard-coded 1 second delay per asset. So on a simple thing with 30 assets that's an extra 30 second of nada nothing. I added config option in Robust.HG.ini under

[AssetService]
WriteSleepMs = 10

so that's 10ms or .01 seconds instead of 1000ms but you can adjust in the config how you like it. in the Writer() function i changed Thread.Sleep(1000); to Thread.Sleep(m_WriteSleepMs); (which pulls value from config, defaults to 1000 if dne)

I also moved the spool directory to RAM disk where it determines the hash, and it checks the RAM disk for existing file instead of hitting the drive. Then it does the actual movement from spool to data directory in a background thread without blocking. So far I'm seeing simple remote objects imported over HG taking about 20 seconds that took about 3 minutes originally. Anyway if you want to test it out there's just one file change. https://codeberg.org/fionasweet/FSAssetService
let me know . If I didn't break anything maybe i'll submit a PR upstream.

Gianni. Wo Eleganz nicht einfach glänzt, sondern strahlt.

Diese Kollektion ist kein Outfit, sie ist ein Auftritt.
Ein leises Rascheln von Luxus, das trotzdem jeder hört.
Goldene Akzente, die nicht protzen müssen, weil sie wissen, dass sie gewinnen.
Stoffe, die aussehen, als hätten sie einen eigenen VIP‑Bereich.
Und ein Stil, der so selbstverständlich wirkt, als wäre er schon immer da gewesen — nur eben nicht an jedem.

Gianni ist Glamour ohne Ausrede.
Für Nächte, die länger funkeln dürfen.
Für Momente, die ein bisschen mehr Bühne vertragen.
Für Menschen, die wissen: Wenn man schon erscheint, dann bitte so,
dass selbst das Licht kurz innehält.
