Holoneon Welcome ^Adult

We are getting requests to "self-host" regions on Holoneon, so we wrote up a how-to guide available at Holoneon Welcome Center by the OSW beacon.

This guide is for self-hosting your own OpenSimulator server in your house or other private network (including Dynamically assigned ip addresses) without complicated NAT rules or dynamic dns updates, etc.

Come to the optional pool party at Holoneon! I just made a three-seater Elvispinkalicious HCV (hovercraft vehicle) that's futuristic and powered by JiggleBeans. the back passenger can be a pet and stick their head out the window

Here's a modified Xyzzy Text panel 40 cols x 8 rows. The textures are in the root prim contents instead of UUID links to assets so it's portable in OS. I made the mesh stuff in blender so the script needed to be totally updated. If you resize you can adjust the scaling and stuff. That's tedious work and i don't have the time but you are welcome to do it if you want it smaller or larger. I'm leaving it this size. It should be full perm if not lemme know.

There's a script "Test" in root prim that shows you how to write text to the board. There is also an "inactive" script set color you can use to change all the color on the linked prims/faces. Normally you would do this once and deactivate/delete the script.

Have fun!

We imported an oar from another grid during a transfer and it had a botched bowling alley in it. Didn't realize it was replicating "physical" bowling pins all over the grid. lol. it got to the point where nobody could move like walking in molasses rubber bands. So I made this module to put physics to sleep when nobody is around. :) so we spent all day hunting down every last bowling pin and destroying it, which was tricking because they weren't showing up in area search and many of them were in 0,0,0 corners of regions all over the grid so we had to excavate and go deep-sea diving to find them. So now the grid is running smooth and no crashes. yay. The module is here maybe it's useful. it puts physical prims to sleep if nobody is on the region so it reduces the work of the physics engine. If someone drops by it magically wakes up all the physical prims. https://opensimworld.com/post/131135

Testing UTF-8 First/Last name and profiles. I've made changes on the server to enable this functionality on Holoneon Grid. Probably doesn't work to TP off-grid, but it's a first test. Unfortunately the viewers are still seemingly stuck in the year 2003 and don't allow UTF8 in FirstName/LastName login fields, but it's a simple patch and rebuild to allow PrintableUTF8NoSpace instead of boring ASCII :) I think a good number of users or potential users are in countries that aren't limited to English characters. :)

We just installed a new Age Check Verification System by Synch-hole Industries. It's in the police station behind the shopping mall at Welcome. Just follow the curvy path. Touch the kiosk and Oyoney Supreme will verify and mark your profile 'Age Verified'

New Feature added. Create an account in Firestorm. Enter desired First Name and Last Name in Firestorm login at bottom of your screen, then desired password in password field. If the account already exists it will attempt to log you in. If the account does not exist it will magically create a new account for you and log you in.

need to add hg.holoneon.com:80 to grid manager (Control + p) in viewer, then find OpenSim tab near bottom.

supposedly a hop link should add it, maybe you can try.

Person told me today that it's weird. That I should just have account creation like Second Life. Thanks for the suggestion, you gonna open up your pocket book lady? :) There's plenty of grids out there, so have fun!

testing Avatar Dehydration/Rehydration. We modified the teleporter code to speed up TPs especially cross-continental. should be live this evening if all goes well. The process is user teleports - > appears dehydrated and sent to IPFS -> minimal av appears on destination region -> appearance rehydrated -> yay

beta testing kubo/IPFS - backed asset server. if your regions are spread out in different continents like an octopus and the head is the robust server 'brain' you can run IPFS nodes on each region. Working on the brain node next, hopefully replace fsassets. I'm using content hashing to reduce dups, for example 500 blank notecards is only 1 blank notecard. code at https://codeberg.org/fionasweet/assetd it works as a cache for fsassets at the moment but still WIP

We are still working on the grid but signups seem to work now. More bits to translate and make accessible.

Sign in with Session Messenger: open your Session Messenger app and send using qr code or enter the public key. Send the 8-digit passcode to create an account or login.

Sign in with passkeys. Use hardware key such as YubiKey, etc, or platform TPM based such as Windows Hello, or hybrid using mobile device over BLE.
uses Discoverable Credential Authentication with resident keys for enhanced privacy - no key enumeration.
I haven't tested platform/hybrid yet will get to that tomorrow.

Sign in with email. No password, use a authenticator such as Bitwarden (open source)

With your account you get a Wireguard keypair for encrypted tunnel to grid.

Have fun.
