  1. pretty much https://github.com/radegastdev/radegast
  2. Or you can just dig your own water channel down the side of Tulagi and open it up yourself.
  3. Yep, it used to be an issue. It's not really problem any more, I have a feeling that most of that crowd grew up and moved on to VRChat. My club and boat dock have been open rez for 6 years without a single real problem. But it easy to trigger some people, and knowing they can be triggered into a reaction will attract people. As premium only rez zones are no go, I think that rez-zones in the channel only are the best bet.
  4. Is that a *bad* thing? Seriously?
  5. It's not a perfect match, but two sided braided/shaved so mention it https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Action-Inkubator-Hair-Izzy-BENTO-RIGGED/15408573 Hair is chanagble between rings and spikes and none.
  6. To nobody in particular, and just for reference: Pre-windlight sunset circa 2006 (pre-eep) Windlight Sunset 2019 I am looking forward immensely to EEP, I hope that FS will be speedy in a beta when it's allowed!
  7. Pfft It just needs Patch/Grumpity/Ebbe to wave their magic Sailor Moon wands in sync! (Now I have visions of Ebbe in a Sailor Moon dress btw) Inserts typically naiive dumbo-user "this is easy stuff, Photoshop has a layer transform..." workflow suggestion that makes any typical developer cry, and any project lead try to steal some of Governance's copious Vodka supply It's very seahorse Rorschach like for sure!
  8. Nope, nope, nope... that triggers my OCD pretty badly! It has to be like this, Blush!
  9. Yes, but maybe less promptly, as only after governance finish another keg of vodka, and 15,000 "my ex-BAE said I was a ....." ARs. (Obviously I am joking, I used to own most of the Cha region about 5 years ago, so I did see a lot of this group, and they are mostly well behaved, apart from Marianne McCann who is a bit young to drive a battleship, she doesn't reach the top of the walkway guardrails)
  10. \o/ WWII games in the SSP ocean. The Japanese Imperial Navy could invade Smalltown USA.
  11. Yep, and that means the lab get even less money for that mix, so is worse off. The $237.50 is the most they can earn for a packed to the gills region. Balancing that is that there are a lot of $195 a month grandfathered/buy down fulls in the hands of the agents. And of course, as a bonus are the people they tip into premium who were free and landless before. Nice housing can do that. (edit: poop, I am messing up my post:like ratio private-game, I will stop talking for a while. Forums are addictive)
  12. That tiny home might be nice on the beach, as a beach shack. 25 plots per sim at US$9.50 each = US$237.50 vs $295 cut privately the same way. And yes, I am absolutely sure the lab have done the sums too, Patch and Grumpity and all the people there are pretty expert at the fine balance. Yep, our current crop of managers know their jobs pretty well compared to the dim dark days of 2010.
  13. Likely the opposite, it will make you seem paranoid. All your creations are protected under the Berne Convention and you have the USA's DMCA process to take down anything that people do copy (and it will happen) You get zero extra protection from anything else, except maybe a sneaky watermark hidden in your vertices .
  14. The channel is hitting the top of the continent and stopping there. The question then becomes will the lab add water around the edge down to the main internal ocean and Tulagi. Counting, it would need 19 extra regions to join Tulagi up to the channel.
  15. If they look normal front on, then it's going to be the invisiprim like effect of rigged alpha. What they are doing is removing the plants on the wall for those pixels. No cure I know of.
  16. Based on my estate, I pay 4:1 premiums. But I am not a cookie cutter, so have nice common areas. As an example to this 4:1 ratio, if I have 20 people renting, then I am giving the lab 80 x $9.95 of tier. They get US$760 from me, or US$190 from individual premiums. What throws this off of course, is parcel size. I have two 300 Prim parcels on my whole estate, the rest are much larger. For many people in my market 300 prims isn't enough (even when I link the house and trees outside into the common allotment, as I do) In that one preview region there are 25 x 1024 parcels, so it's a revenue of US$237.50, GF full region is US$195, so they make $41.50 more, but non-GF full is US$295, so that's $58 less. (assuming it's cut the same way)
  17. German Schrebergärten are cuter!
  18. Don't forget AI so you fully legerage the blockchain through the disruptive paradigm of gamifcation as a service via edge computing and cloud connected IoT apps.
  19. The houses are on a rezzer and can be swapped in and out as the tenant likes. That one you show is a bit tacky compared to the lovely B&A you show, but people are weird, at the best of times... it's possible some people will have a use-case for a tiny dog-box. Maybe they are residents who love living outside, so the house is nothing more then a prop. I am someone who prefers outside myself, my go-to homes for myself are the big Elf building from Compulsion, the + shaped home from Maven, and the pavilions from Trompe Loeil because they are all so open. If I were making my home on one of those parcels the house would be fully empty and all my LI would go into the garden. (I am assuming that there isn't an option of no-home) "Holiday Home" I think. "Country House" is a bit pretentious. Prok is an experienced and published translator, I'd actually love them to mention the correct translation, please .
  20. I keep thinking back to that gatcha cigarette, and matches thing in a real old thread when we first got the wonderful mesh LOD stuff in FS, that thread where the matches each had their own individual texture. This is the trouble with gatcha stuff, by and large, it's often incredibly unoptimised junk, and ideal to make your neighbors scream. Times like this one wishes the viewer had a robust occlusion system.
  21. If you are typing on a casted game, then the delay between characters entered is 2 * ping + the compute time to render that small area of screen, compress it, and send it, then decode it your side. This means if you type hello to someone the text lags significatntly.... using the 15ms to google and guessing 10% for overhead: H 33ms, E 33ms, L 33ms, L 33ms, O 33ms. From experiencing doing this in my job all day long, it's disconcerting. And of course, your ping time is excellent and will be different to someone in Hawaii or Alaska. The ping time to SL isn't comparable to this, because when you type HELLO it's local, and not sent to SL until you hit enter. Yes, for those with nothing, close to a datacentre the game can run from, it's an improvement over nothing, but is it usable as a main driver for long term use? Not sure there. In my job I hate it, even between my home and the main office. It becomes hell if I am going into Hong Kong, London, Berlin, New York. Sadly no. Data centres need cooling due to the nature, number, and horsepower of the servers. Your PC at home can happily cool to the ambient. There is also a lot of extra waste. Googles PUE is lowering, but it's still higher then home. https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/efficiency/internal/ Additionally when you finish with your PC at home then it gets turned off, unless you are an online sleeper. The servers in the caster's datacentre are running 24x7. Edit: And of course, the elephant in the room in this is bandwidth. According to their tests as reported by a number of news-sites, to get 1080p, 60 frames per second, requires approximately 25 megabits per second. In Akamai’s most recent State of the Internet report back in 2017, it claimed only one in five households in America could get 25 Mbps download speeds. So most people will be running on lower resolutions then 1080p. You can see this same effect with youtube and how often (especially at peak times of the day) it's impossible to look at the 1080p stream without buffering. I really don't see Stadia being much of a panacea for anyone, unless you are out and caught short and must use a phone. And in terms of that, the Lab have hinted they are doing initial investigations. One last thought, assuming SL becomes available on Stadia. Every single login you will start with a fresh cache and empty inventory. What will that do to the Lab's infrastructure if all those users are doing it multiple times a day? Will the asset/inventory servers grind to a halt for the rest of us as they spend time sending full inventories and caches to people on their phones?
  22. Ye cannae break the laws o' physics. Unless google put servers within 5-10ms of everyone then that service is unusable. Huge swathes of the planet will need to be dotted with server farms so people can play games, and those server farms use a hella-lot of power, from both driving the equipment and cooling the equipment. Temperatures in one capital city reached an astounding 44.5C here this year (thats 112.1F in American measurement) do we really want to risk further damage to the planet's environment powering thousands of server farms so people can play SL on their phones?
  23. Still in search, so unless that changes it's an admin hold or short ban and not a perma-ban. You need to keep lodging tickets and ask reasons. Also, be aware that sometimes your avatar gets stuck and will report "This account is unavailable until 2064, please try later" which is a bug. Have a friend/alt IM them in world and then try logging into a new region, over type home with "Aswan" (be aware it's maintenance time this second, so might be wise to try later!) Good luck. Bans and holds suck, but they are soon over
