  1. I think the cheapest way is to just buy lindens: https://secondlife.com/my/lindex/buy.php The minimum spending amount is $2.50. That means you'd have to spend $1.01 on top of the $1.49 transaction fee. Currently you would get either 243 lindens instantly, or 254 lindens within 10 minutes. Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot about the two different stages of "on file" and "used."
  2. While you can use BOM for all of the bodies/heads from Uti (or literally any modifiable object, even prims), any SLUV skins won't be compatible because Kemono/Avatar2 uses totally different parts of the texture for different things. You'd see things you're not meant to see. 😄
  3. You reminded me of how I, by some miracle, managed to recover the account I made originally... 13 years ago. With a very simple one-word username too, so it's actually a pretty valuable to have if I ever care to create any content on that platform. Good for Krankhaus though. They started so small and came far. They deserve any success they get, even if that means moving to bigger audiences.
  4. At least the LindeX is a controlled economy, LL will keep the price within a certain range (and is very stable).
  5. Why exactly do you need to rewrite a lot of code to move from HTTP to HTTPS? You said you're using a form and have your own web server, which POSTs data to another page, from which you send data to the LSL script. When I recently tried/checked, you can't display any HTML content from LSL scripts unless they're visited exclusively from the in-viewer browser. You don't seem to be doing that if you can see security warning. How is the form served?
  6. When you add someone to the "ignored users" page on this forum (found in the top-right menu, under Settings), you can select what you'd like to ignore, and then you won't get a notification from them: Posts mean regular posts like this one (including replies). Mentions mean these: @Wulfie Reanimator Either "posts" or "mentions" includes reactions too, I just don't know which. Messages mean private messages on the forum. Signatures are included at the end of every post, and are off by default. Blocked posts in a thread will show up as collapsed items which you could click to open and read, or hide completely with browser extensions like an ad-blocker.
  7. The potential for abuse is much greater than the benefit we would gain from this feature. If there's anything to improve, the forum shouldn't announce the blocked content so prominently. Thankfully those are also easy to hide with browser extensions.
  8. Log into the Jira (https://jira.secondlife.com, there's a blue Create button at the very top of the page) with your SL account and file a ticket, posting a suggestion here won't do anything really as it'll just get lost in the sea of posts.
  9. The current TOS doesn't mention anything about letting others access your account, so that's not necessarily true. In the past it has been both against TOS, and permitted with the caveat that "You are solely responsible for all activities conducted through your Account whether or not you authorize the activity." Edit: Apparently I can't Ctrl-F these days.
  10. I'm not arguing that land can't be cheaper, I was clarifying for others in this thread that AWS isn't as cheap as you made it seem.
  11. AWS has different pricing for different kinds of servers, with bulk discounts, and you also pay for the processing time. (If you don't do anything with it, then you might only pay a couple bucks.) It can easily cost hundreds of dollars a month to rent "a virtual server" from AWS. (Not that it costs LL that much to run a single sim, since multiple sims will run per server, but it's also not the only cost they have.) The pricing for AWS/Google can sometimes make working with them kinda weird. For example, at my workplace we actually lose money if something is "a quick fix" because we pay more for the server to build our software than we can bill the customer for developer time spent.
  12. Do you happen to know what the current "framerate" is for reflection probes? Last I checked, I think it was once per minute (which is fine, just checking).
  13. Physically-Based Rendering Texture editing tools aren't in the scope of this project.
  14. Loop is the most general way to do it. You could write a custom function that applies a given character X times, and that's about as convenient as you can get. Depending on your specific use-case, you could also go the other way around and do llGetSubString("***************", 0, n); assuming you know the maximum length you'll need. This way would be more speedy and memory-efficient (since you're not creating a bunch of immediately-discarded strings).
  15. SL currently uses Specular & Glossiness. The new PBR implementation will be using Metallic & Roughness. The 'levels of shine' will be the same, but will look significantly different due to reflection probes.
  16. It would stop others from logging in despite having your password, though, if LL actually enforced it for viewer login. But until then it's kinda just there. 🙂
  17. There's been some discussion in a different thread, here: https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/493161-server-status-499/
  18. My math was wrong because I misread my own previous post: (Was looking at full + homestead, instead of just full region.)
  19. It costs only half of what you'd pay for a full region too, all expenses included.
  20. These bots are nothing new, they've existed almost as long as SL. If they were breaking TOS or doing something nefarious, we'd know. Most likely they're just survey bots, not spies. If you're bothered by them, enable avatar hiding in your parcel. If they happen to teleport into your parcel, enable banlines for a few days.
  21. I don't think so, the only way for scripts to communicate out of SL is via HTTP. All scripts are running on LL's servers after all, so it's not like they could just talk to a process ID on your computer.
