Hmm... Funny how the only trending feature request that isn't tracked is the one that basically says, "Please remove a harmful feature." Not good... #secondlife #metaverse #feedback #AI

@jupiter_rowland yeah, that is a shame indeed. But luckily, since it is the #Metaverse, and I decided to #SelfHost my server, it is as simple as changing the grid address and I will be back online on another grid! :)

OSgrid is offline effective last night and until further notice; CW: long (almost 2,700 characters), Fediverse meta, non-Mastodon Fediverse mta

OSgrid is offline again. Not for a few hours or so like just about everyday for quite a while now. This time, it was closed for maintenance for the foreseeable future.

The asset server is in such a bad state now that each crash and restart caused more assets to break. Yesterday, OSgrid reached a state in which it was no longer even possible to save inventories as IARs as they all ended up corrupt. So instead of closing the grid on March 21st to wipe the asset server clean, they had to pull the plug immediately.

One could say this means that lots of OSgrid users who wanted to wait until the last moment to save their stuff have lost lots of content. I say they've probably lost it already before the grid closure because chances are it was already broken at that point.

Seriously, the last time I've logged my OSgrid alt in, and that was last week, almost none of his attachments worked. No body. No hair. No glasses. Etc. I had to unpack replacements for some of the items from boxes which happened to still be intact, but for adjusted or modified items, I had to send in another "me" to deliver replacements right into OSgrid.

Now the OSgrid staff say they want to "completely rebuild the assets in a new format". At first glance, this reads like they no longer want to wipe the asset server and fix the assets themselves instead. But seriously, they've tried that for years. To less than no avail as we can see now. More assets are geb0rkt than not.

I myself rather think they've already started wiping it, and they simply want to change the way the assets are stored. And that's although OSgrid has switched to Avination-coined fsasset after the RAID failure in 2014 and the eight-month data rescue timeout until 2015. But that was almost a decade ago, and you can only change so much on an asset server in a running grid with assets on it.

Basically, instead of just resetting the asset server, they're going to tear it down and rebuild it. After all, they're still hoping for most residents (those who were active recently anyway) to return and bring their stuff back (what parts of it aren't broken anyway).

Most other grids would have called it quits at this point. And seriously, OSgrid was the first public OpenSim grid, it's the oldest grid (launched in 2007), and it's one of only two remaining grids from the 2000s (the other one is AnSky from 2008). It's probably a question of honour for OSgrid to carry on against all odds.

On a more positive note on decentralised stuff, Netzgemeinde seems to work again.

It's famously easy to dunk on the Metaverse, and Ryan George does a great job of it in this video;

But he also makes an insightful point, worth repeating. Many technologies that are now part of everyday work and play began as digital toys, ruthlessly mocked by people who were adults when they came out.

Today I wrote an article about the #Metaverse and my first week back working on coding my own survival game project within #OpenSimulator.

Come check out my article on my corner of the interwebs on my #Indieweb website.

Lots of simultaneous in-world events today; CW: long (over 700 characters)

Today is one of those days on which simply too much happens in the Hypergrid at the same time.

There's the World Zero Discrimination Day event in ZetaWorlds which starts in a bit over an hour and a half.

There's the grand opening of OpenSim World's Fair in the Wolf Territories.

There's an unlisted St. David's Day Dance on the Welsh sim Redoutable in Speculoos Grid.

Not to mention a whole lot of more or less regular events.

Maybe we'll do some event hopping today.

NOBODY, no matter who and where, has reason to be proud of “their” country! EVERY nation is dirty! Let's just remember the slave trade, colonization, world wars, ... FOR WHAT?! Just to make some WiXXER even richer!!! We're putting an end to that now. Even if it's the last thing we (can) do.

"#Meta's Awful ‘Horizon Worlds’ Ad Helps Explain $70 Billion #Metaverse Loss"

OMG y'all, this is comically atrocious. I mean, it's not even as good as #SecondLife, despite coming ~20 years and $70bn (!!) later.

This is so bad, my peeps. I mean, horribly, laughably bad.
