It's World Puffin Day and Fianna Rua has some kick ass Puffins. There are free to copy/buy for 0 birds on the South West side of the lighthouse on the rocks. There are some others that are simply to be admired:)

There is a wooden Puffin statue in the Old Bridge Inn up on the shelf that's also available. And these fun Punk Puffin tshirts in the clothing shop at the corner of Merchant and Mermaid's Lane. The Puffin graphic on the shirt comes Pixel Labs on Pixabay. The shirts are for Classic Avatars but textures are included for BOM users.

Puffins are charasmatic birds; sometimes nicknamed the clowns of the sea. While globally they're not classified as endangered they are vulnerable to extinction they suffer declining populations due to climate change and food shortages related to overfishing. It should be noted that European Puffins are listed as endangered. Pollution, oil spills, hunting and invasive predators are all factors in this.

Love Puffins today:)

Legacy update

Die neuen Legacy‑Outfits bringen frischen Wind in den Shop: elegante Linien treffen auf dramatische Silhouetten, moderne Street‑Attitüde mischt sich mit selbstbewusster Abendgarderobe. Die Palette reicht von königlich fließenden Stoffen über opulente Volumen bis hin zu frechen, urbanen Schnitten und figurbetonten Power‑Looks. Jeder Stil erzählt seine eigene kleine Geschichte — mal glamourös, mal rebellisch, mal einfach „zieh mich an und lass uns glänzen“.

Der Shop legt also nicht nur nach, er übertreibt fast schon liebevoll: mehr Auswahl, mehr Charakter, mehr Möglichkeiten, deinen Legacy so auftreten zu lassen, wie du es gerade brauchst. Ob du heute Drama willst, morgen Coolness oder übermorgen pure Eleganz — die neuen Designs liefern zuverlässig. Und zwar mit einem Augenzwinkern.

The original thread that prompted me to open this one was deleted by the creator, therefore I am ending all further discussion about it. Sorry for deleting your posts, but due to the new situation there was no other way.

✨ „Zu brav? Dann bist du hier falsch.“
Hier landet nur, wer Spaß daran hat, jeden Tag eine neue Version von sich selbst auszuprobieren – von „Don’t mess with me“ im Army‑Look bis „Hands up, ich sehe verdammt gut aus“ im Police‑Style.

Dazu kommen Bodys, Catsuits und komplette Outfits, die so viel Attitüde haben, dass sie eigentlich einen eigenen Warnhinweis bräuchten.

Sexy, frech, verspielt, gefährlich gut – such dir aus, welche Stimmung du heute anziehst.
Und morgen.
Und übermorgen.

Hier trägt man keine Kleidung.
Hier trägt man ein Statement.

a little terminal DJ booth️... to stream to your OpenSim land via icecast. liqit, python and a curses TUI that wraps Liquidsoap ^bubbles^ so you can run a full radio stream from your command line. rainbow playlist, live countdown timer, crossfade control, one-key jumps between tracks, streams straight to Icecast2. looks sick in tmux.
NO electron. NO browser tab. NO 400petas of node_modules. just you, your playlist, and a terminal that goes hard. runs on a pi, runs on a headless server, runs anywhere.
you can optionally mix in mic/aux/loopback channel (loopback for AI text to speech if you want, i.e. sudo modprobe snd-aloop then -mix hw:1,0 etc)
open source freedom - get it at https://liqit.boo/ :)

👌 The new Animesh Buddy ELLa is now on Who Knows. She walks beside you, she greets and tells a joke to anyone within 3 meters of her, she stops when you stop. /1 menu will bring up her options of dance, sit, and stay. The First Of Many Coming. SHE DOES NOT TELEPORT. Just rezz her on the ground next to you and than pick her back up when your ready to leave. Update on Generative AI: Still working on the project, She is live in Opensim, I am working on adding the meshi AI app to her so you can type a mesh idea meshi AI creates it and throws your downloads link to the mesh in your chat. still very buggy, needs lots of work.

As many of you who are close to me know, I have recently moved into our new home - Actually it's my daughter and her fiancé's new home, but the dragged ole mom here with them. We were moved in 2 days and have finally, pretty much, gotten settled in and I only have 2 more totes to unload. It is so nice to finally have enough room and a new home that feels like home. But all of that aside, it means now I must get busy making more new creations and new builds and letting you all know if you're looking for a home, your own region and a place to build and create, come see me and I can work on a deal for you. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

in a corner of NeverWorld lies a devastated area... a fragment of the Wasteland after the war of 2077... I was told there were no deathclaws, but that's not true. I escaped two, seeking refuge among the rocks... and stumbled upon the entrance to a Vault numbered 77 (https://opensimworld.com/hop/92394)... What will I find inside? That old melody by a Spanish singer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWnmzagelp8) echoes in my head... because the stories about Vault 77 are unsettling (https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Vault_77)

BK‑Mode: Virtuell, vielseitig, unverwechselbar

BK‑Mode ist der Ort, an dem Outfits nicht einfach „ausgesucht“ werden – sie finden dich. Ganz ohne Laufsteg, ohne Drama und ohne Mode‑Philosophie. Hier zählt nur, was gut aussieht und deinem Avatar genau den Ausdruck gibt, den du heute haben willst.

Ob entspannt, frech, seriös oder irgendwo dazwischen: BK‑Mode hat immer etwas, das passt. Und das, was du gerade siehst, ist tatsächlich nur ein kleiner Vorgeschmack der vielen Neuheiten, die im Shop auf dich warten. Die komplette Auswahl ist deutlich größer – und sie wächst schneller, als man „Inventar sortieren“ sagen kann.

Virtuell bleibt alles, aber der Effekt ist erstaunlich real: Ein neues Outfit, ein neuer Vibe, und plötzlich wirkt dein Avatar wie die Version von dir, die du schon immer mochtest – nur jetzt sichtbar.

Drei Outfits, die nicht laut werden müssen, um Wirkung zu zeigen. Sie spielen mit Gegensätzen: klare Linien, sinnliche Stoffe und zarte Schleifen, die mehr andeuten als verbergen. Jeder Look trägt eine eigene Spannung in sich – mal unschuldig, mal verführerisch, mal selbstbewusst verspielt. Gemeinsam erzeugen sie eine Atmosphäre, in der Eleganz und Erotik Hand in Hand gehen. BK-Legacy zeigt hier nicht Mode, sondern Momente, in denen ein Avatar nicht nur gesehen wird, sondern hängen bleibt.

NORGE rebuilt with terraformed mountains (*) on this vast 8x8 var region - I confess I've never liked much the effect of it, tried many times then I kept building with mesh mountains for years.. and now once more, I tried and finally liked what I see.
Old SIM was great but I lost a lot of space. Now, one can actually "use" the mountains". So I`m starting slowly building trails to one go around.

For the new year 2026, we wish you as much luck as there are drops of water in the ocean, as much love as there are stars in the sky, and health every single day. New opportunities, letting go of the old, and appreciating the moment. It's not the happy who are grateful. It's the grateful who are happy. New year, new chapter – with pages full of courage, happiness, and joy. Here's to a year full of small miracles and big moments. Wishing you a great start, Crazy and Carmen

Für das neue Jahr 2026 wünschen wir euch so viel Glück, wie Wassertropfen im Meer, so viel Liebe wie Sterne am Himmel und Gesundheit an jedem neuen Tag. Neue Chancen, das Loslassen des Alten und das Wertschätzen des Moments.  Nicht die Glücklichen sind dankbar. Es sind die Dankbaren, die glücklich sind. Neues Jahr, neues Kapitel – mit Seiten voller Mut, Glück und Freude. Auf ein Jahr voller kleiner Wunder und großer Momente. Einen guten Start wünschen Crazy und Carmen

2025 RESULTS
Every year, in December, my team and I review the "outgoing year," highlighting our achievements and setbacks. We also share the development of our community. And this year will be no exception.

This year, like last year, has been challenging and eventful for us. It's not over yet, but challenges and minor problems continue to surround us, and we, in turn, continue to actively address them. We wish each of you strength and success in overcoming all the difficulties you encounter along your journey.

For the "Opensimulator" virtual community as a whole, this year was also challenging and eventful in terms of development, setbacks, and losses. And despite all the difficulties, we managed to survive this year and maintain the integrity of our idea and commitment to our values ​​and interests.
So, let's start by talking about our failures and losses.
FAILURE OF THE YEAR
I consider geoblocking, which arose as a result of targeted control measures (data protection, blocking access to information due to law or security requirements) in the Russian-language segment of the internet, to be the failure of the year. It affects the social development of our world as a whole. And although it exists, our world has continued to function and develop. Yes, it is a significant hindrance. But so far this year, we haven't been able to completely circumvent all the restrictions that were imposed. I hope we will definitely solve this problem next year. And next year will be filled with positive emotions for all of us.
LOSS OF THE YEAR
This year, we lost two truly wonderful residents of the Opensim metaverse who always supported our world and the Opensim community as a whole, and who have made enormous contributions to the development of the metaverse. Luna Lunaria, the great designer and creator of the Wolf Territory world. She has passed away, but her memory and her work will forever remain in the metaverse. For me, she was a good friend, whom I often turned to for advice when I was struggling. Together, we explored PBR materials and studied the conceptual development of PBR worlds. Rest in peace. Your fire of enthusiasm for the development of worlds continues to burn in our hearts. Verna Avril is an excellent DJ in the OSGRID world. She dedicated her entire life to creating magnificent sets. I loved listening to her sets and attending parties with her. She was also a good friend of mine. Rest in peace, my friends. Your memory will forever remain in my heart. We remember you guys and will always remember you. Another loss is the passing of my co-owner, Trevor Belmont. For five years, he was an excellent creator and developer and my supporter. He decided to take a different path. I respect his choice and appreciate his contribution to the development of the RussianGrid world. ACHIEVEMENT OF THE YEAR
We've all had plenty of accomplishments this year.
- We've all had the chance to meet new, interesting creative people and worlds open to friendly collaboration with the Russian-speaking segment of the OpenSimulator. We're open to everyone.
- We completed construction and opened the enormous Galaxy Hall cinema and concert hall.
- We've begun creating a museum of Russian art at the Alex Leo residence. The residence was completed entirely using PBR. Thanks to Luna Lunaria for the consultations.
- We managed to complete (independently, without consulting scripters) the Kario male body.
- The new OpenSimulator engine allows us to fully work with PBR materials.
- Restructuring of the STEKLOFF club. Branches of the club, which was very popular with OpenSimulator residents, will now be located in many regions, and they will broadcast events from the main STEKLOFF club.
- This year has seen tremendous development in our world's web resources. We've acquired services such as our own messenger, our own social network, our own cloud storage for users, and our own Flikr equivalent. Most importantly, we've finally managed to create a fully-fledged media streaming grid server, allowing every user to host full-fledged video streams completely free and without restrictions. Our cinema is powered by it.

- We've created a texture cache proxy server. This allows users with slower computers to play comfortably. Cache and textures load instantly. Thanks to this, you no longer need to store tens of gigabytes of cache on your PCs and worry about clearing it every time it gets full.
- Huge thanks to @FerdFrederix for his support, development, and optimization of the DreamGrid project. We appreciate it.
- Huge thanks to @Mike Mills for providing technical support and solving huge problems in the world. My favorite system administrator. I'm glad the server problems are in his hands.
- In terms of server optimization, we were able to achieve excellent frame rates with the most minimal hardware requirements. The security system has also been optimized. There's no longer a need to block users. After the global rules are finalized, intelligent security will be enabled in all regions.
The "Zorkiy Glaz" intelligent system will automatically monitor regional security.
Despite all the restrictions surrounding our world, and the discrediting of our world by unfriendly worlds, we managed to end this year with dignity. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, Alex Leo 12/06/2025.
