As no-one else who was at the meeting has posted this yet, here's kind of good news from Sunday:

OSgrid will not shut down forever!

It will shut down on December 31st at midnight, yes. But it'll shut down in order to wipe the asset server. Same thing as the Asset Reset last year. Then it will come back online.

This means your accounts and your avatars are safe. They will not be deleted. You will not have to register new accounts or create new avatars. You will get to keep the avatars which you have now. They'll just have empty inventories.

This also means you've got time until December 30th to save the stuff you have in OSgrid that you need to save. But please don't wait until the last moment. If all those who can export IARs do it at the same time, this will overload the asset server. (Yes, IARs are safe. They're copies of your inventory. Your inventory is not poisoned, even though the asset server itself is.)

If you have land attached to OSgrid, you may export an IAR. If not, I myself recommend you to send the items that you absolutely need saved to an avatar in another grid (and items that can be picked up from freebie stores right now don't fall under this category). Basically the same as last year, remember?

If you don't have land, but you absolutely need an IAR export for some reason (and laziness is no such reason, sorry), you may send albertIr Landar an e-mail, and he'll export an IAR for you. He will need your OSgrid login password for that. Again, don't wait until the deadline and ask him then. Even albertIr can only export so many IARs at any given time, and if 100 users mail him to export their IARs on December 30th, he most certainly won't get all 100 done before the shutdown.

One thing will change: OSgrid won't let anyone and everyone attach sims just like that anymore, starting next year. Only "trusted" hosters will be allowed to attach sims. Don't ask me what exactly that means; the OSgrid board hasn't published a definition yet either. I've overheard at the meeting that those who have sims attached to OSgrid right now count as trusted. But don't take this for official information.

If you want official information from the board: Wait until the OSgrid wiki is updated.

Hard work is paying off, here is a preview of our website. A few things will be email to fred on for him to fix on his end. Luckily its just an extension and dll file so easy easy fix. A few things here and there for the website but everything is clicking into place.

grid is back online, dream grid was updated, website working on php8.

Yana Dakota & Nyla Veyne

Different Names, One Creative Journey

Some journeys are not measured in miles, but in the worlds we create and the memories we leave behind.

For many years, Yana Dakota found joy in bringing little pieces of imagination to life. From the peaceful forests of Marluz to the quiet, spiritual beauty of Samsara, each world grew from a simple love for nature, creativity, and the freedom to dream.

Over time, life changed, and so did the name. Nyla Veyne became a new chapter in the same journey, bringing fresh inspiration to Solmara, with its sun-kissed shores, and Oasis of Veils, where music, mystery, and dance come together.

These worlds were never meant to be grand achievements. They were simply places created from the heart, where people could wander, find a little peace, enjoy music, or perhaps feel at home for a while.

Yana and Nyla may carry different names, but behind them lives the same imagination, the same love for creating, and the quiet belief that even in a virtual world, something beautiful can feel very real.

"Everything is impermanent. What comes will go. What matters remains."

Yana Dakota | Nyla Veyne

The clock is ticking and the shadows are getting longer. Tonight, from 2pm to 8pm, the Halloween party everyone’s been whispering about erupts into full chaos and you’re either inside the madness or outside wishing you were.

Three DJs are taking over the night with a relentless, pulse‑pounding Halloween soundtrack built to shake the walls and drag you straight into the dark. Costumes, lights, smoke, bass… it’s all dialed past maximum. This isn’t a party. It’s a full‑scale supernatural takeover.

Every minute you hesitate, someone else is claiming your spot. When the doors close and the energy peaks, you’ll either be part of the legend or stuck hearing about it from everyone who didn’t miss their chance.

Get here. Get inside. Get lost in it. Tonight only and once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.

I am doing some important updates to the server, looks like server is offline until it finishes the updates and restarts itself. all else fails my guy from the company i rent from can restart it.

In other news, I am making very good progress with Jommla 4 and jopensim. I have had alot of help from chat gpt and codex. great part is, its now works on php8 with joomla 4. I will have my tech guy test the website out with me to make sure it is good to go.

Aside from jopensim, there are some pages and plugins that we need ot enable and put in there places. And new ones we need to find since creators didn't create versions for 4

I have been up all night working on this, i now know how fred feels lol. Thank you fred for all you do.

# 🎙️ BloodMoon Grid Now Runs Its Own WebRTC Voice Server! 🌙

We are pleased to announce an important milestone for **BloodMoon Grid**!

BloodMoon has officially moved away from Vivox and now operates **its own independent WebRTC voice server**, hosted and managed entirely on our infrastructure.

After several weeks of development, testing, and improvements to the voice system, we have successfully deployed our new solution across the grid.

✅ **Proximity voice is now operational!**

Residents can communicate with nearby avatars using compatible viewers such as Firestorm.

🏡 **BloodMoon-hosted regions** have already been configured and restarted to use the new voice service.

🔧 **Externally hosted regions** connected to BloodMoon require a configuration update and IP authorization to access our voice infrastructure.

🚧 **Private IM voice calls and group voice conferences are not yet functional.** We are actively working on these features and will provide updates as development progresses.

### 🌐 A Step Toward Greater Independence

Our goal is to reduce our dependence on external services while maintaining a reliable and modern voice experience for our residents.

This deployment includes several fixes, adaptations, and improvements developed and tested specifically for our OpenSimulator environment.

We are happy to share this progress with the OpenSimulator community!

**BloodMoon continues to evolve, one step at a time.** 🌙

**⚠️ BLOODMOON GRID – VOICE SERVICE NOTICE**


Dear residents,

We are currently experiencing issues with the Vivox voice service used by OpenSimulator.

As some of you may know, Vivox announced several years ago that its free voice service for OpenSimulator would eventually be discontinued.

At this time, we do not know whether the current situation is a temporary outage or a permanent shutdown of the service.

**What does this mean for BloodMoon?**

- Voice communication through Vivox may currently be unavailable.
- The grid itself remains operational.
- Text chat, instant messages and other grid features are not affected by this voice issue.

**The good news:** The BloodMoon team has already been working on an alternative voice solution based on WebRTC technology, independent of Vivox.

Testing and integration are underway, and we hope to make this solution available across the grid once it is ready.

We will keep you informed as soon as we have more information.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

**The BloodMoon Grid Team**

🚨DreamGrid Critical Security Update — Update Now! 🚨

DreamGrid by Outworldz — The most trusted grid is your own.

A serious PHP 8 security vulnerability has prompted an urgent security update world-wide. DreamGrid now includes the latest PHP 8 security fixes, along with multiple layers of protection designed to keep your OpenSimulator grid safer from unauthorized modifications and software tampering.

🔒 DreamGrid Security Features

PHP 8 Security Updates — Updated PHP 8 components with the latest security fixes to address known vulnerabilities.

SHA-256 DLL Integrity Verification — DreamGrid checks DLL files against trusted SHA hashes and rejects unauthorized or modified DLLs, helping prevent malicious code injection through file replacement.

ZIP SHA Verification — Downloaded ZIP archives undergo SHA integrity checks to detect corrupted or tampered files.

Microsoft Authenticode Digital Signing — Digitally signed software verifies publisher identity and detects unauthorized modifications.

TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 Encryption — Modern encrypted communications help protect data transmitted between systems.

Additional Security Hardening — Multiple security checks work together to protect your DreamGrid installation.

⚠️ PHP 7 Users: It's Time to Upgrade!

A few people still use PHP7 for Joomla V3. V3 and PHP 7 has reached end of life and no longer receives official security updates. Continuing to use PHP 7 exposes your grid to vulnerabilities that may never be patched.

When you start DreamGrid, you may be prompted to upgrade from PHP 7 to PHP 8.

Please select YES! Here's what happens:

YES — Upgrade to PHP 8: DreamGrid switches to PHP 8, removes your old PHP 7 folder, and hides the obsolete PHP 7/8 selection buttons.

NO — Keep PHP 7 temporarily: Your existing PHP 7 installation remains available, but it does not receive the latest PHP 8 security protections.

Test Joomla compatibility: If you're concerned about compatibility, test Joomla with PHP 8 first. Once everything works, restart DreamGrid and select YES to complete the upgrade.

🛡️ Why This Security Update Matters

PHP is one of the world's most widely used server-side programming languages. Security vulnerabilities in PHP can affect websites, content management systems, hosting platforms, and applications built on top of it.

That includes PHP-based applications such as WordPress and Joomla, as well as hosting environments using tools such as cPanel.

DreamGrid's updated PHP 8 environment includes security fixes unavailable to PHP 7 users.

Keeping DreamGrid updated is one of the simplest ways to reduce your exposure to known security vulnerabilities.

🚀 Protect Your Grid — Update DreamGrid Today!

Whether you're hosting a private OpenSimulator world, a public virtual grid, or a large multi-region environment, DreamGrid combines ease of use with important security protections.

Making AI images is fun, but at what cost?

We’ve all seen the funny, beautiful, and creative pictures generated by AI. But have you ever stopped to think about the environmental cost of creating them? I see them on this website daily! I have made hundreds of Ai images!

But, did you know? Every AI-generated image requires computing power. That means electricity, water to help cool data centers, and powerful computer equipment that requires mining and manufacturing.

And every time we ask AI to create a picture, fix a mistake, or generate another version, we use even more resources.

One image may not seem like much, but multiply that by millions of people generating millions of images every day.

More energy consumption. More water demand. More carbon emissions. More electronic waste.

We talk about protecting our planet, reducing waste, and conserving natural resources. Yet we're embracing a technology without always considering its environmental footprint.

I'm not saying AI doesn't have valuable uses. It absolutely does. But do we really need to generate endless pictures just because we can?

Making AI images is fun. But is the environmental cost worth it?

Something to think about before clicking "generate" again.

Just updated the EUROPA multi destinations Teleporter Board - the previous one was too bright, sometimes, depending on my timezoned EEP sky one couldnt see at all the destination. Also, 18 scripts are now just 1. And for some SIMs I rezzed more than 1 of these, to entice visitors to go to other regions as well.
