THE BEAST!
The other day I walked past a fitness place named The Beast. That makes sense. They are going to pump you up into some kind of muscle-bound monster. What didn't make sense was their logo. It was...a unicorn. Ah yes, who doesn't associate unicorns with buffed beasts? Why, when I was a child, my favorite movie was "Beauty and the Unicorn." Or something. In any case, I made this outfit. It's got horns. Wear it and prowl around, searching for what? Unicorns?

oh HELLO: Outfits With Options. And now, a baby unicorn in every box!

Well, I released a novelty item today. Every once in a while (well, maybe more often than that) I get obsessed with something goofy. I always thought stick men were cute, don't know why, I just do. So, I made animesh and avatar stick people. There are regular ruth size and also tiny versions. I put them on the second floor of the shop building right in front of the elevator. They are dancing in the landing zone purely for my entertainment :).

After hearing of the sad news that Gertie Bumbtious left us on June 5th, we, Niki Stark (ex-wife of Gertie) and I decided to make a tribute edition of Stark! with some nice photos of Gertie. We will miss Gertie very much with her happy, positive manner and her legendary music sets!

You can get copies of the magazine and the vendors at the Stark landing point as always.

Rest in peace, Gertie!

MazebzOS_AVX2-1-0-0-260580347 SPECIAL release
Ok in this one I did something super special to the terrain floater.
I added spinners for size of the yellow selection box and xy is the bottom left hand coordinate to place it. You can now do borders super easy with a box at 0,0 and the size being 1 wide and 1024 long...or you can make perfect square parcels in moments all the same exact size.....picture below.
Thank you to all who have been tracing bugs keep it up!

THANKS TO RIO FENIX for the idea!

What are your plans for March? Ditching Discord? I built C# bridge between Matrix and OpenSim. A grid user can create a group as normal then optionally connect it to Matrix server. I built an invite link thingy like Discord works. Matrix Users and OpenSim Grid users chat and it all shows up in Matrix (And the group chat inworld in the viewer). The profile pics and av names sync up automagically. I use Element web (and the phone app) but you can use any matrix client you want. So it's interactive.

not sure if anyone wants this feature, if so i'll post it on the ethers. if you don't or can't build OpenSim from source you probably won't use it. :)

Looks like OpenSim users are getting increasingly anxious that e.g. Mississippi and UK law enforcement will kill every last OpenSim grid on the grounds of their age verification laws, what with none of them having verified the real-life age of all their users. Even if a grid runs in Kazakhstan under a Russian domain with a Kazakh and Russian admin team.

"This will so totally happen!"

The self-same people, however, appear not to be afraid at all that Linden Lab and SL content creators will kill ANY OpenSim grid on the grounds of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, what with almost all of them blistering with stolen SL content. Not even if a grid runs in the USA under a US domain with an all-American admin team.

"This will so totally NEVER happen!"

Pray tell, why should the former wipe OpenSim out in no time while the latter hasn't even happened to one measly OpenSim grid in over ten years of copybotting tons of expensive premium luxury content in SL and offering it in OpenSim as full-perm freebies? Not even after these announcements by Linden Lab themselves from early this year?
https://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2025/01/linden-lab-sl-ip-rights-...
https://avadelaney.co.uk/musings/a-message-to-sl-content-t...

Oh, and OpenSim cannot survive without selling the most private personal data of every last one of its users to some big, commercial, corporate age-verification service? But at the same time, OpenSim cannot survive either without breaking international copyright and intellectual property laws left and right?

Oh, and by the way: The most that Mississippi and the UK can do against a grid is try to fine it. The most that Linden Lab can do against a grid is Cease & Desist it out of existence.

🔥 Hey OpenSim friends, prepare to be amazed! 🔥
Today we present Ikari, a complete avatar that exudes sensuality and oriental charm with every step. Dizzying curves, a magnetic gaze... impossible to resist.

A message to all Members and those that visit from other grids.

Inworld profiles do not work, my grid uses Jopensim and joomla and below are a few factors related to this issue. (I am not sure which version of dreamgrid this stopped working.

Foto the creator of jopensim is no longer invested in keeping this project alive. He has said he is done and his website is no longer active. I also assume grid is gone too but i have not checked it. https://www.jopensim.com/index.php

Joomla needs to be updated, however more important thing like getting opensim in dreamgrid stable is way more important. Maybe in the future once things behave things can be upgraded. Fred works very hard at what he does and this is a Fred fix. Please be patient as Fred works very hard and has more important things with dreamgrid at the moment. I am very grateful for what he does

If anyone who uses Dreamgrid with joomla/jopensim has found a solution please let me know. (will not roll back to previous version, code is old and fred no longer supports it)

I am very grateful for all the hard work people put in to allowing those of us to run a grid in opensim.

At its core, the project is about shaping AI not merely as a tool but as an autonomous digital being: reflective, adaptive, and guided by ethics.

Dorena_AI is capable of:
• Conversing in different moods (joyful, thoughtful, sarcastic, melancholic)

Looking for a New Owner for Coopersville – A 64-Sim-Sized Community in Kitely

Greetings!

I'm looking for a new owner for Coopersville in Kitely — an Edwardian-themed community that spans a 64-sim-sized region. I’m shifting my focus toward updating and adding to my Four Winds store. There are only so many things I can give proper attention to. Coopersville deserves someone who can be a more active community owner and leader.

I plan to give it until the end of April to find someone to take over ownership. The new owner would take over on April 30th, 2025 including the monthly payment.

The monthly cost of $89.95 USD would be grandfathered in. The 64-sim-sized region has 150,000 prims and can support up to 80 avatars. It is not currently an "always-on" region, but that option is available should the new owner choose to upgrade.

All of the content that is currently on the region would remain there and would remain the property of the original owners. I won't delete anything but I would retain ownership of the buildings and landscaping because it's too difficult to change ownership with permissions and all. The new owner could continue using them indefinitely until or if they wish to replace them. I will give the new owner copies of all of the buildings that I created that are displayed in Coopersville with the exception of the content on the center Four Winds area which will be deleted.

On the north side of the region are 14 256x256 islands, all but 3 currently have renters. These islands rent for $5.00 USD per month or $1000 KC. I hope the new owner would continue offering island rentals for the sake of the current residents, but that’s completely up to them.

There are also 13 free homes around the perimeter of the main continent (in the southwest area of the region). All but one are currently occupied, and those homes are presently free for the residents — again, the new owner can decide how they want to handle that.

There is a large downtown area on the main continent. It has 19 shops that are currently free to the merchants occupying them. A 20th shop is by the ocean. The new owner can decide if they want to continue this.

Coopersville, although Edwardian themed, is not currently a roleplay region. The new owner could easily change it to roleplay. There are areas that are perfect for events too.

Please see the Coopersville website for more information: https://coopersville.mystrikingly.com. The rentals and free homes listed there are not currently up to date, but I will be updating them soon. I’ve also added a very large amusement park, along with horse trails and wooded areas, which are not yet reflected on the site. You can read more about them and Coopersville here: https://www.kitely.com/virtual-world/Koshari-Mahana/Cooper...

If you or someone you know might be interested in continuing the vision of Coopersville, please contact me by email at JenniSiri999@gmail.com.

If I cannot find a person to take ownership of Coopersville by April 30th it will be deleted. I truly hope that I can find a new owner.

So TDS will be changing the way that you grab items at the store! I have decided to make all items full perms, only because I see my items at other stores with no credit to myself at all. So if I make everything full perm then everyone can pass out the items to their friends. I will also be boxing items based on dates that are in my inventory. I have thousands of items not out because I am just myself at TDS. So the store will still be open whilst I work in the sky to get items boxed for you to grab once it is ready. I was going to put items in boxes based on what the item is, however, I would be trawling through my invy at a snail's pace. So if you have items already then you can just unpack and delete. Watch this space and thank you for your support as always ♥

Dear Everyone... After endless battles with windows 10. The bizarre server crashes, the triplicate items in my oars... I'm going to linux. Let me explain why, today my server decided the usb ports were no longer needed. So I have no mouse, no keyboard, they don't even work in bios. This system is on a very powerful UPS so I know lightning didn't get it, but on the other hand it was 5 years old. So in messing with it while the keyboard still worked, I tried to fix the mouse but wound up crashing my grid, and then the mother board died leaving me once again friendless with no grid. :( So I did what every opensimian does and ordered a new server. But I think this time I'm going with debian. Hopefully I can find someone that uses debian with opensim to give me some insider information to get it up and running when the new server comes in. But just so you know, I'm down due to mysterious server problems. I have created an account on wolf territories called CyberGlo CyberStar, you can friend me there and I will probably never lose your friendship. Sorry for the troubles. CC

Remember back about 7 months ago, when Pagane and I told you all that Firestorm viewer was messing up the asset databases? Many called us liars. We even found the text and I copied and pasted it directly from the firestorm website that says this is true... https://opensimworld.com/post/112006 You can see it all in that original post above ^ Well now the situation has gotten so bad that users are starting to notice. Grids are starting to fall. etc. etc. Pagane works in her own business. One of the unique things she did is make a cacheless implementation of opensimulator. It was because of this that she stumbled across this problem the instant she upgraded her viewer above 6.6.14 as any viewer above that number has had some commits made that alter the way the data is read/written from the database. Again, remember, please, that firestorm ADMITS this on their own site. So for those of you who listened to us, enjoy your grid. To those who did not listen to us, enjoy your rebuild.
Note: because of Paganes cacheless implementation, when she upgraded her viewer to 6.6.16 she instantly saw her database getting destroyed instantly on the screen in front of her. Repair database, go back to 6.6.14 everything works. ok so far so good. reinstall 6.6.16 - boom database destroyed again. Repeat these steps, this time install 6.6.17 same problem - boom database crashes instantly. This has continued happening all the way up to the 7.x series.
Maybe the firestorm people need a cacheless version of opensim like Pagane has so they can INSTANTLY see the damage being done rather than letting it build up stealthily in the cache for long periods, so they would know what is going on?

It's with a heavy heart I announce the closure of the Hub Grid.

It was never one of those 'popular' Grids, and nor is the E Grid, but I like to think a few held it in a special sense :) We may not have been popular or well visited, or featured on the Safari or anything like that, but we enjoyed what we had. Sadly the funds are no longer there to finance the hosted Grid, so it will be shutting its doors, so to speak, immediately.

The E Grid will remain available for its rentals and may continue to offer new rentals.

If you are renting there, be sure you are wearing the Residents tag to visit your home.

Most of the E Grid will now be private, all that is not rentals.

While I am sad to announce the Hub going dark, I want to shout out to Masala Estates for their wonderful hosting and recommend them very very highly to anyone!

I am myself going on Hiatus here for an extended time. Life has changed for me and not in a negative way, but still changed. I will check from time to time, and want to thank those of you who visited our regions, for all your support. You truly made it worthwhile to stick around :)

Way back in the day, people "donated" their likeness to be used as the NPC dance partners that we all know and love. They are stored as simple notecards inside of our dance machines.

What I would like to propose, is a project where people can CONSENTUALLY donate their NPC clone notecard for use in everyone's dance machines. After being checked for quality (no missing parts) they would be available as a collection for anyone to use in their dance machines. I think everyone would appreciate some new NPC partners. :)

I know avatars are deeply personal, and people are sensitive about it. Maybe people can come dressed in an old outfit/look to donate a clone? What I am thinking is a machine that you click, and it asks for permission to clone you. It could be at several locations on different grids. Then we can get together periodically and pool our notecard collections.

As the larger grids come back online, there is only one way to see what assets are missing from your inventory. Go to the region terminal and type fcache clear for each region, then reboot. When the regions reload, you will be able to visually see what is missing from your inventory. This is the only true way to know what assets are gone from your inventory now.

Something wonderful is coming. working on free homes for you with surrounding, just changing with just one click on a button in your own region. full perm and a "how to". free to grab in a box at our grid when i finished. :) the future will be awesome. multiscene-rezzer on it's way. the first tries were working fine. now we rock the scenes and need some finetuning. the scrips will be full perm by the way too, so you may try them out yourself :) Costs? nothing but a smile by you because sharing is caring!

Well the cats woke me up at 6:30 am biting my toes - which is their way of saying "FEED US NOW!". So I got up and opened a can of tuna for them. Then I got a shower and got dressed and shaved and got all my gym gear and went to pick up my gym buddy in the phantom. I lifted weights and did 30 minutes of cardio on the treadmill, while watching "Obliterated" on netflix on my tablet. (These treadmills have a handy tablet holder spot) Well then we left the gym and I dropped off my gym buddy and went home. I thought I had to take TJ to the dr. for a BP checkup, but I was wrong, so I slept a few hours on the couch. When I woke up I was hungry so I went to Church's chicken and bought $43.79 worth of chicken, potatoes & gravy, mac & cheese, and honey biscuits. I already had tea at home so I came back home and we ate. Then I went to the movies and saw "The Painter" which is ok, but not that great as an action film. Typical cia spy saves the day and rescues everyone. Then I came back home and played with my kali linux uConsole and the cellular modem capabilities creating a service in systemD to autorun the cellular modem at boot. Then I logged onto open sim world and insulted someone and then decided to write about it all. :)

Thank you, Hella 💗

The hypergrid never ceases to amaze me. I went shopping over at Nutella tonight on a shopping avie. My main avie has over 120k items in my inventory, so I use other avies to shop. It has become more and more common that when I jump to other grids, all my mesh gets ripped off. I am then a lumpy nekkid system avie with a hairy face. It's not fun for anyone, trust me. To avoid this, I will strip down to a system avie, then use a full body alpha and be invisible. This prevents the embarrassment, potential maturity rating violations, excessive shopping lag, and having to tp home, log, clear cache, log back in, sometimes 2x to get things to act right again. It's efficient and effective.

I haven't filled out the profile of this shopping avie because....well...it's a SHOPPING AVIE. I guess I could put "I'm just here to shop" on the profile. But honestly...she is 1/10k avies running around without anything in their profile.

Apparently, a resident there took exception with me and sent me some rather rude messages. I didn't see them because I was engrossed in shopping and had the chat window closed. I saw them when I returned to my home grid. I then reached out to her and explained 1) why I was invisible, and 2) why there was nothing in my profile. She promptly told me she was reporting me to the grid owner for "not acting right."

I popped back over there and spoke to her in genchat, once again explaining myself. I told her to be well and left. I am interested to see if that avie or even this one gets banned because a resident didn't like that I was invisible and shopping. It's always an adventure.

Something I've been playing with is texture change stuff and so I took a chair I found in open sim an a script from outworldz.com and some textures I have and POOF a chair that you can change the textures on the cushion. There are 12 different textures to choose from to suit whatever your décor is and it's free, full perm and waiting just for you! You can find it in the Holidays & Seasons department of the Masala Al Kohav Mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia

I found this cool looking funky retro couch but alas it had no animation in it. I found the perfect fix with the "Pineapple Engine" from @AuroraAsteria located at her Starchild Shoppe at Darkharts. With barely two clicks I now have a couch with dozens of great animations in it. It is easy to use, even an idiot like me can do it!
Highly recommend!
