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.

I humbly make this post with much sadness and embarrassment. I received today 200 of the 210 donated to the gofundme for Luna Lunaria's star. I was gonna cover out of pocket the extra $11 as the total came to 211. Since i know Luna's rl son will be forwarding everything to Luna's rl wife, I thought it best we opt for a 2nd copy (unframed) for Xenony Lunaria/Mr Magic Fox to keep for himself as a keepsake. The only other addons i opted for was hand written calligraphy (13.50 per document x2) Then star registry added on $40 further for shipping and handling and tax, raising the total to $254.61. We are frankly a poverty level income household with only 1 income for two adults currently. I'd happily cover the $55 if it wasn't basically jeopardizing our bills and budget situation. WE ARE SO CLOSE! I realize this means we won't be able to make a donation to St. Jude, but lets say 5 community members could each donate 10usd, we would seal the deal! I am posting a screenshot of the attempted checkout in order to be fully transparent. Xenony did specify Luna would had liked the middle star of Orion's Sword the best, but with 3,000,000 stars already named, i think the Orion constellation would be good enough. (it did not let me specify anyways)

Happy holidays everyone and thank you each and every one of us who has contributed to this wonderful cause!

Hi all,

New items, 50 animals and so much more. Still not all shops are filled, but it more is coming each day.
I changed the landing point, so you land at the shops ;)

Fly around, through the shops and find all the new items. (photo is just an impression)
Enjoy, Hugs

The Island of the Moon has changed its look, but it has never changed its soul.
You will find the same warm hospitality, the same desire to celebrate, to meet, and to dream together… now wrapped in a brand-new atmosphere waiting to be discovered.
On the island you will be welcomed by the grand concert piano, which is not just a symbol, but an elegant and refined ballroom, where timeless style and music invite you to dance and let yourself be carried away.
You will also discover a large shopping area, designed for both men and women, featuring Legacy, Reborn, Lara X, Athena, Gianni, Body outfits and much more, allowing you to fully express your style.
For those who love to be surprised, a unique disco set inside a classical guitar awaits you, complete with an ice-skating rink.
Have you ever skated inside a guitar?
There’s always a first time for everything! ^_^
You will then find a palace inspired by the colors of Jazz and Blues, dedicated to our live music nights, ready to host great singers and anyone who wishes to perform and share their music.
Finally, a special area devoted to the magic of Christmas, featuring an enchanted carousel that will make you feel like a child again, surrounded by moons, stars, glitter, and endless imagination.

**Tonight, don’t miss an unmissable live event!**
The evening will open with **DJ Luna**, followed by **DJ Tombeur**, ready to make you dance and celebrate together.
Thank you to everyone who chooses to visit the Island of the Moon,
and heartfelt thanks to all who decide to leave a special appreciation on the Island of the Moon’s page.

DJ NET - 4pm - 6pm Live Mixing Festive Tracks
DJ Nova 6pm - 8pm

Come and join us for festive fun at our beautiful Winter Wonderland region and really get into the festive spirit.

Gianni tritt nicht ein, er setzt ein Ausrufezeichen.
Mal glatt wie ein perfekt geplanter Schachzug, mal so provokant entspannt, dass man sich fragt, ob Selbstbewusstsein eigentlich messbar ist.

Legacy dagegen spielt nicht mit — er übernimmt.
Ein Hauch Rebellion, ein Funken Unberechenbarkeit, und genug Charisma, um jede Szene in eine kleine Machtdemonstration zu verwandeln.

Vier neue Outfits, vier verschiedene Arten, die Aufmerksamkeit zu kapern:
nicht höflich, nicht leise, sondern so, wie BK es liebt —
mit Stil, mit Kante und mit der klaren Botschaft:
Wer hier auftaucht, hinterlässt Spuren.

Morgen Abend gibt es die vierte Adventslesung von Rubeus Helgerud. Kommt spätestens um 20:00 Uhr ins Märchenhaus auf Rubeus' Winterwunderland.

dorenas-world.de:8002:Santas Winterwunderland

Ab 19:30 gibt es schon adventliche Musikeinstimmung - also eine gute Gelegenheit vor der Lesung über den Weihnachtsmarkt zu bummeln oder dem Winterkurort Winterbergen einen Besuch abzustatten.

Wir freuen uns wieder auf Euch alle...
Tomorrow evening, Rubeus Helgerud will give his fourth Advent reading. Please arrive at the Fairy Tale House in Rubeus' Winter Wonderland no later than 8:00 p.m.

dorenas-world.de:8002:Santa's Winter Wonderland

Starting at 7:30 p.m., there will be festive music to get you in the mood for Advent – ​​a great opportunity to stroll through the Christmas market or visit the winter resort of Winterbergen before the reading.

We look forward to seeing you all again...

Type O Negative: Die Könige des Gothic Doom aus Brooklyn

In den dunklen Straßen Brooklyns entstand Ende der 1980er Jahre eine Band, die den Heavy Metal mit gothischen Elementen,
tiefer Melancholie und einem einzigartigen Sinn für schwarzen Humor verschmelzen sollte.
Type O Negative wurden zu Pionieren eines Sounds, der Doom Metal, Gothic Rock und psychedelische Einflüsse vereinte.
Ihre Musik war geprägt von langsamen, schweren Riffs, atmosphärischen Keyboards und der unverwechselbaren, tiefen Bassstimme ihres Frontmanns...
