CopyKat Life Boat: hg.osgrid.org:80:CK Alt Island
CK Alt Island is a 2x2 region made available by Apollo Star. I'm still setting up the estate as a short-term hang-out/dance venue. Other uses, such as having shops, are possible if it looks like we need to use this region longer.

CK Alt Island is open to the public. CK residents can sign in with an alt account on another grid. Then come to the Island and set it as your home location if you like. We can use the region until November if we need to.

Thanks to everyone for your help and offers of land.

just a reminder.. this is an ADULT GRID, and an ADULT REGION.. that means no child avatars or children allowed.. it you think you have been wrongfully ejected and banned message me here and plead your case.. but if you look 12 you are a child avatar

Upate. This address should work for everyone:
virtual-worlds.zone:8002:Avia

Goodmorning, it seems not everyone is able to visit my region Avia at Virtual Worlds Zone Grid. Would you pls let me know? It should be opened to everyone. Alternative is to hop to virtual-worlds.zone:8002 and there choose region Avia. Hope it will be solved soon. http://virtual-worlds.zone:8002:Avia

Don't usually do drama politics lol but i recieved more than the usual Hate Mail since posting here. 1. This is no Second Life 2. 70% of the items i see for sale in Second Life are free downloadable objects and clothes modified and then resold for quite alot of money (i do game graphics in RL) 3. OS Grid came to us as a free open source and is especially valuable to those who are handicapped and on low incomes who can never never never afford SL to create their dreams 4. No other grid would be around if not for the FREE tech service from OS grid staff and developers 5. If you tweeked your copy of OS Grid sofware for YOUR GRID and it runs better GREAT that is what we want! YOUR HAPPINESS 6. When attending someones event try to have manners if possible, I know these are hard times and everyone is on edge but lets all just step back for a moment and take a breath. Im happy to help anyone or discuss or listen Hugsss and have a great day HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I want to clarify something there is someone going around spreading rumors about Club Equinox closing down~! Let me set the record straight! Club Equinox was started 3 years ago on the Kinky Grid by me and my Sister Chynna those that been to the old Equinox know her! There were not that many clubs around then and alot of them that were are gone today. We work hard to make Equinox a drama free no issues place to come party and anyone who ever came knows that we are a fun place to party! Xaria is and has always been a great partner in the club, We have seen a decline in people coming but we will be here for a very long time in the future we have many plans and improvements ! WE HAVE NO PLANS TO CLOSE~!~~~ so with that i want to stop the rumor mill that people have started about Xaria and Me many times before if anyone wants to find out whats going on your all more than happy to ask me or Xaria we be more than happy to tell you!

We regret to announce an important update to our Terms of Service.
Due to recent incidents involving inappropriate and pedophilic behavior, BloodMoon Grid has decided to permanently prohibit child-like avatars on the grid.

We understand that this measure may seem unfair to some users who used such avatars purely for creative or innocent purposes.
However, our top priority is and will always remain the protection and safety of our residents, as well as full compliance with applicable laws.

We sincerely thank everyone who understands the necessity of this decision, and we apologize to those affected despite their responsible and harmless use.

Been happy with my weather system so I created one specially for my sims at EUROPA: no API called just simple script. it gives temperature in C, F and K (kelvin).. from inside and outside dome. Fits very well the thematic here! Thinking about releasing a copy at MAGABAGA MALL. unsure if someone would be interested though.

I have made a bunch of cute Halloween decorations. They are all at the end of the shop near the water—free, Full Perm, and NOT prefect. :) I also made a couple of dragons, a red one and a white one that glistens in the sunlight. Can you find them? Lots of new things are coming soon!

***OPENSIM ONLINE WEATHER SYSTEM V4 (VERSION 4) UPDATED RELEASE****
AVAILABLE FOR FREE AND FULLPERM AT WEATHER SECTOR

************WHATS NEW ON V4 FROM V3 VERSION?*************
PS. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY REZZED STUFFS FROM PREVIOUS VERSION (v3) ALL YOU WILL NEED IS REPLACE THE CONTROLLER AND THE SOUNDBOXES AND THE SCRIPT FOR THE SCULPTS SET!!! (These are the 3 scripts I modified for the bugs fix and new features!)

- Bug fixed:
--> Code 210 (Light Thunderstorm) now fetched from master to slave scripts properly;
--> Weather condition now never shows as "unknown".
- Enhancements:
- Information now sent to owner includes wind speed and direction, visibility and humidity.
- SOUNDBOXES with NIGHT SOUND (THE CRICKETS) SUPPRESSION updated:
* The script checks the object’s latitude and the current month!
* Tropics (≤ latitude 30°) → night sounds always play.
* Polar regions (≥ latitude 60°) → night sounds are always blocked.
* Mid-latitudes (latitude 30°–60°) → gradual suppression:

* In winter months (depending on latitude), night sounds are blocked.
* In summer months, "night" sounds play normally.
* The script stops "night" sound if suppression applies; "day","rain", "drizzle" and "snow" sounds always play normally when due.

Offworld has existed for a total of 18 years now. It was first called "Land of Vikings," then became "Gridworld," and finally "Offworld."
We're marking this occasion and celebrating this milestone with a small event.
On Friday, August 8, 2025, from (CET) 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Genie will be giving his best on the microphone. Starting at 9 p.m., the fantastic Phaandor Pertwee will take over the stream.

Offworld existiert nun insgesammt 18 Jahre, zuerst hiess es "Land of Vikings", dann wurde es zu "Gridworld" und schlussendlich dann "Offworld".
Wir nehmen diesen Anlass und feiern dieses Ereignis mit einer kleinen Veranstaltung.
Am Freitag den 08.08.25 von 19 - 21 Uhr gibt Genie sein Bestes am Mikrofon. Ab 21 Uhr übernimmt dann der phantastische Phaandor Pertwee den Stream.

Through life, there are people and events that take and hold a piece of our soul - sometimes the better, sometimes for the worst. Sometimes the trigger are small, apparently insignificant things.
A piece of mine was taken 9 years ago when I saw the above screenshots in the news. I sobbed for day, as I still do today. I grieved for people I had never met, as I still do today.
PRIDE doesn't hold meaning (or the same meaning) for everyone - and that is okay.
But regardless of where we stand on, of what we believe on - Love and Kindness to our neighbours shall be the Law.
This is, once again, my Starchild wish and Blessing to you all:
'May, when given the choice, you always choose kindness. For you are all Children of the Earth and Starry Heavens, but your race is of Heaven Alone'
Let us remember:
'Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth, for behold: all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals; and therefore let there be Beauty and Strength, Power and Compassion, Honour and Humility, Mirth and reverence within you.'
Blessed Pride
In Love & Grief,
Aurora Starchild

All are welcome at Three Hills Grid. We embrace a spirit of kindness, inclusivity, and respect, where everyone—regardless of background, identity, or orientation—can feel safe, valued, and free to be themselves. Whether you're here to explore, create, connect, or simply be, you belong.

This is a picture of the replica of the home I grew up in here in Pennsylvania. We had a huge farm house to live in and lots of freedom to roam wherever we liked. In my humble opinion, you just can't beat country life. The house, smoke house, garage and barn are all here at the mall just waiting for a new place to be set up. Blessings and much love, Lavia

"Hairpinning" Public Safety Annoucement and a small favor to ask of home Opensimulator server owners.

If you added a MAC address to a ban list, you may ban yourself, or ban all uses from any grid that uses a Loopback adapter for hairpinning. The problem is all Loopback adapters use the same MAC address. There is a different one for each type, such as WIndows, Mac and Linux.

Opensimulator servers require routers with working hairpinning so the server can find itself at the WAN's public IP. Loopback adapters are sometimes necessary at the server because not all home routers support hairpinning, a.k.a. Loopback. Only the the server can log in to itself, when the server has a loopback adapter. Others on thje same LAN can use a VPN, which moves the network endpoint outside the LAN, and onto the WAN.

Also, a lot of people think Loopback is needed for the Hypergrid. It's not. It only so the server can see itself at the external WAN IP.

I help maintain a list at http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers of compatible and incompatible routers. Please, do us all a huge favor, and if your router for your home server is not listed, please comment the brand, model number and whether loopback works or not, and I will add it.

Thank you!

🎉 OSgrid is now open to the public again! 🎉

We’re happy to announce the official reopening of OSgrid!
To ensure a smooth and stable experience for everyone, please take the following steps carefully:

🧹 Before doing anything:

Clear your viewer caches (both textures and inventory).

Reload your regions (OARs) first using the following command:

load oar test.oar --force-assets
(Replace test.oar with the name of your own OAR file)

For IARs (inventory backups), please wait a little longer before uploading. Let’s take it step by step.

🌀 At LBSA Plaza:
You’ll find a question mark “?” on the plaza. Clicking it will help you stop appearing as a cloud.
Don’t forget to wear the folder offered through it to restore your avatar appearance properly.

🔄 Simulator update required:
Make sure to update your sim to the latest code on the website:
👉 https://osgrid.org/download.php

🙏 Thank you all for your patience and support.
This slightly extended downtime has allowed us to come back stronger, offering a more professional and stable experience for the entire OSgrid community.

See you in-world soon!

How Old Is Your AV in Human Years?
When discussing SL romances, back in the day, it was common to hear people say that an in-world relationship of one year was the equivalent of 4 or 5 RL years. Now, if you own a dog, you might have heard that one dog year is equal to seven human years. It's more complicated than that. The chart has it all sorted out. Have a look, and tell us, if we thought of AV years as dog years, how old is your oldest OS AV in human years?

As for me, my oldest OS AV was in OSG, and had existed for 15 years. If that OSG AV were a dog, it would have been between 76 and 93 years old in human years now. (Lord, it was way ready to die. And I think, now, it is).

I decided to migrate my regions from OSGrid to my own private grid so I do not depend of anyone, took me some hours to set up the configuration with the HyperGrid but I did finally. I really appreciate to the OSGrid team all the effort on all these past years, when I connected my project on their grid back in 2019 allowed me to show my project which I started back in 2011, but after a long time thinking about it and learning more about how it works the Hypergrid and to setup it, I was able finally to do it and perfom the test from the outside (with a account I created on other grid), I'll connect some of my the others regions in several hours (the speedway), and I'll balance better the load of all the regions in several servers over the time since it also runs now the ROBUST. Still need to work on the backups tasks, uptimes checkers. The construction of the city, is still ongoing, and I do it when I have free time, motivation and I'm inspired (since I want to do the buildings and all in a good way, I mean, not all the same, all differents with unique things even some share the same initial design), and also the city is not only on the surfarce, I build also under what can be seen on the map. Initially I wanted to do this way, but since I didn't know nothing about Hypergrid and how to setup back in 2019, never tried, until these last days when I started to see how to configure it.

Come visit Havana @ OMG Twitztid Timez Grid - it's colorful and lots of fun. Walk the streets of Havana, visit the art gallery. Pick up some groceries at the supermarket. Stop at the cafe and people watch and when your done, kick off your heels and dance away at Havana Open Air Club - be sure to pop in and visit the locals close by.

For reasons:
Last night someone was on my sim for 4 min and wrote a review:
"The lag dragged me out of this sim and I´m on a high end computer. Less would be more in this case or change the server!"
When I came online this morning and looked at my traffic board I was looking what could be the reason. That it is so laggy that it dragged him from my sim must be a reason different from his computer, if it is really high end computer.
I am the whole day on my sim with a MacBook Air. Not really high end for opensim. I have to emulate an Intel processor and emulate OpenGL because MacOS is not supporting openGL since 13 years or so anymore. I have even on normal 1x1 sims with an Island and house on it never more than 30 fps framerate. So I think my computer is for this game on low end but can even take videos of Big City Life as you can see in more than 50 videos on my rumble page.
So there must be a reason for it that he was even dragged with his super high end computer (if this is true and this review was honest meant)
I have a suspect. I have also an OSgrid avi but don't hypergrid with it anymore. I just park it on Lbsa. But for my MacBook Air it seems much more difficult to hypergrid with my OSgrid Avi than with my main Avi or my Avi of Wolf territories I use now often for hypergridding while I park my main avi at home.
But on the other side I see on my board that someone with his OSgrid avi was 23 min on my sim. So he must have been no problems. Usually my visitors stay 1-4 min or half hour to an hour on my sim. The first ones that just stay on my sim for few min have usually just an older Laptop or so and see very fast that their framerate is very low. So this is normal. My Big City Life is a 7x7 sim heavy loaded with thousands of scripts running. It is normal that user will go immediately when they find out that they can't walk straight on my sim. I always said that I built this sim the limit of what opensim as technology is capable of so that I can even live on the sim with my MacBook Air. And this is not a gamer computer.
But I suspect there is another reason. A resident on my sim has a new gamer Laptop (5300 Euro) and tried out with different Avis from different grids how performance is. Usually she has always 60 fps with one avi. She tried out also with 2 and 3 Avis at the same time. The interesting point is that she had with her decadence avi and her wolf territories avi 34 fps and with her osgrid avi 21 fps at the same time while staying with 3 avis on Big City Life. So her Osgrid Avi had lower framerate although it should have been same as the other while view of all 3 avis should are same/similar.
I get mostly visitors from many different grids. Perhaps when you come to my sim you should try out with avis from different grids. Perhaps there is now some technical problem with OSgrid that hypergridding is more difficult.
Just my thoughts about this case for a reason.

Merry Christmas everyone!! News from 3HG -Thanks all goes to Fred Beckhusen. I just witnessed a server move from Contabo VPS to:

AMD Ryzen 7 8845 with 16 cores and threads. The setup features a 4X x 4X x 2" configuration for high-performance computing.
Key features:
1 Gbps Network delivering reliable and fast connectivity.
NVMe M.2.5 SSD, achieving speeds of up to 6 GB/s, offering 2x the standard 3 GB/s performance for exceptional read and write operations.

I could never have done this without Fred's help , he had to copy numerous times to get full complete backup Contabo was being totally slow and useless he gave me permission to say and I quote: "Contabo sucks donkey balls"

3HG is on a shiny new server that zips right along now - what a huge difference. Fred, your patience and troubleshooting techniques is just mind blowing, I cannot believe what I just witnessed in tech skills. Your determination is what sets you apart, I honestly thought this move was not even possible (Fred says I have a big purse), again you prove me wrong. Thank you and Merry Christmas my Metaverse Santa, it is time to put your feet up by the fire 🎅🏽🎄❄️🎄💗💗💗
