SL is a mess at the moment. Took me a few attempts to login (the message was something about not being able to create a valid session). The dashboard page is gone (bad gateway, it says). And my avatar isn't rezzing. I'm in an SLS region, by the way. Well done!

It shouldn't happen with stuff that already has been cached (in the hard drive) but it does. It happens most times after a TP but I've had it happening while walking around a sim and returning to the area where I had seen a building that is then apparently gone (it's there after I re-log).

The conclusion is obvious to me: it's a TPV issue, as it doesn't happen with the official viewer. I must say that the latest Firestorm has been giving me quite some grief concerning rezzing stuff. Sometimes, entire builds disappear and I can only see them again after re-logging. [EDIT] In the official viewer, you can change the LOD settings via debug.

Are you sure the SLS is getting an update? the GSP shows restarts as being completed. https://secondlife-status.statuspage.io/incidents/t8yqsr3znly8 Nuggy, an SLS region hasn't been restarted. It's now 6:40 SLT.

That happens to me sometimes, early in my morning (late SLT). The issue disappears after a while. It may be related to some temporary cloud unavailability but of course I'm just speculating.

I have to agree it might be a good reason but the Lindens may be out of luck on that. All true. But restarts are disruptive and should only happen when needed. Yes, the 10 days "rule" or so should be enough to keep the grid running without major issues. I'm excluding here event regions, as some even need to be restarted on a daily basis. Anyway, what @Mazidox Linden explained may fall into the more or less "good reason" category. 🙂

Question: why restarting the Main Channel if regions stay on the same version, and if they are healthy? Any regions showing issues can be restarted, if those who encounter problems file a ticket requesting it. Those regions were restarted a week ago... Unless there is something you're not telling us. 😉

So, we wouldn't be able to do much around mainland because its sims would be restarting everyday, three times a day, right? If lag is that bad for you, I suggest you check your viewer/connection settings, or even get a better computer.

Is there a logical reason why a mesh building that was/is originally set to type Prim changes to type Convex Hull after a rolling restart? This has happened after rolling restarts — last week and today — to a building I recently re-rezzed on one of my sky platforms (at about 2000 m altitude). I've had this building rezzed before but the issue (feature? :-P) only came up now. So, is it a bug? Or what is it that was changed in the simulator code and is causing it? The building is in a Main Channel region.

The dashboard has been unavailable for more than one hour, that I can tell. 504 Gateway Time-out

Not all were, though...

Are the maintenance restarts for the Main Server Channel still going? According to the GSP, they are but... look at the time. And the GSP never gained much trust, at least from me. However, my home sim (Nuggy) has been on the Main Channel for years, and hasn't been restarted yet. Is there some issue? [EDIT] Never mind. (but Nuggy wasn't restarted) Completed The scheduled maintenance has been completed. Posted 17 minutes ago. Feb 01, 2022 - 14:00 PST

The bug has been present on the Main Server Channel too, since its last maintenance. I've been experiencing it in Nuggy once in a while. [EDIT] Or... maybe not. @Aishagain I jumped into that conclusion without giving it all much thought, really. Thinking about it better, maybe the bug wasn't affecting me in Nuggy, it was present in the regions where my contacts showing as (???) (???) were, instead.

Can't login anywhere (yes, ANYWHERE). Dashboard page is unavailable. GSP says nothing about it. I was in-world (in main channel region) and stopped being able to edit rezzed items. Then, froze and logged out. [UPDATE] https://status.secondlifegrid.net/incidents/7ln011h8q0bj

Nuggy, my home sim, had over 90% Scripts Run for a few months, after some announced improvements. Then, suddenly, it dropped to around 60% average for the whole November till today before maintenance. Now it shows way over 90% average again. No builds have changed in the region nor the scripts amount, so this is good news. ☺️

Lotsa regions down for maintenance.

@Mazidox Linden Nuggy hasn't been restarted.

It's fixed for me now. For testing, I rezzed a prim and deleted it without any issue. Whew! And wow, that was quick! Well done, engineers. 🙂

Nope, I still can't login, and the all clear hasn't been given.

Thanks, I just logged in to Live Chat Support because of it, so I'm going to close the chat session. 😉

The whole thing is tricky. Personally, I don't give a single bit about SomaFM just because they are not looking for a solution. Should SL users try to find one? Would SomaFM pay someone who has a viable solution? I have a more serious question, though, supposing SomaFM gets money from SL parcel owners: is it fair that a parcel with very little traffic pays the same a club that is crowded most of the time does? If not, how do you control that? Traffic keeps changing, and it may change in a matter of minutes. Sorry, people, but the whole thing is nuts. It's true that we pay LL the same for a low traffic parcel than we do for a crowded one but we always get something valuable in return — space to do whatever and prims.

Weird indeed. Now, why don't some of the SomaFM people join SL and come up with a solution? It's true that one may die from exposure but it's also true that no exposure may kill too — maybe even faster. So, they want/need money but all they seem willing to do is play music to a small audience. There may be many ideas on how to pay them but is any of them realistic? Something that can be done without LL intervention? I think that even for LL would be difficult to implement a solution just for SomaFM. What about other radio stations? @Coffee Pancake suggested something that might work, somehow...

Check here: https://gabrielleriel.blogspot.com/ The Dieselpunk and Steampunk streams may work for what you want.

Right. The opposite is also valid — you were providing a visual environment (that you pay for) for that channel. Should SomaFM pay you for that? Of course not, it's an exchange. Try Ocean Radio Chilled. PM me in-world and I'll send you the URL, if you can't find it. (I think this thread should be moved to some other forum)
