    It looks much bigger in your first picture. ( 😇 ) Not joking, it does. I have seen it somewhere on the marketplace and thought I should have something smaller that that Apple Fall mansion.

    I really wish Apple Fall made a country house with the same great textures, but not with 350 Li.

    But stupid as I am, I did not mark your house as a favorite. as a favorite. Can you give me a LM inworld or a MP link? 🥰

    Angles, lol. Idlewood's actually the larger of the two stone cottages P.0.E makes, and it comes in at a whopping... 58li, not counting lights and accessories. And the marketplace store isn't up right this second, but here's a link to the store's Flickr page.

    added tl;dr

    Lemme preface this by saying I'm no expert in AWS or database administration. But. Second Life is a very old and probably very large pile of data. In order to get it onto Amazon's servers, they have to go through that data and the code that runs it to make sure it'll still work once it's in the cloud instead of on their own devices. Then they have to prepare the data and make sure it's as optimized as it can be so the transfer will go as smooth as it can. Considering how much and how varied the content in sl is (textures, mesh data, primitive data, item data, avatar data, inventories, regions, items in that region...) That is a lot to prepare. And it can take a while. And that's the easy part.

    Once the data's ready, they'll have to upload it. How fast it goes depends on internet speed and quality, etc, like normal uploads. But they have to keep an eye on it, lest it suddenly corrupt and then we're left with nothing. A dataset of around 700 terabytes can take two months to upload in optimal conditions, with a team working to ensure good latency, give or take because I'm not sure if it's changed. And need I remind, California is on literal fire and there's a plague going on. Service probably isn't optimal right now.

    Basically/tl;dr: it's probably going to take a solid couple of months to test things, and then a couple more to upload everything. It's very complex, and very, very easy to mess something vital up.

    My pet peeve

    I don't mind it, myself. The hedges are a bit weird, and they could do with a few more trees and a bit of grass sprinkled in, but I can kind of see what they were going for. It's Every Canadian Highway Ever, but the minimalist version.

    Well... we could get a very old prim based freenis, stretch it a bit, and rez it at 200m up... and then wait about a week. 😛

    I'm trying to remember if I've ever seen anything like that over the Zindra map at any point over the years...

    There was, at one point, a giant freenis floating over one of the Meadowbrook Linden Homes. It showed up on the map as a flesh-coloured smudge before the Governance team zapped it.

    Not funny, I was exited to spend time in SL. I can log in, but editing and rezzing is barely working some minutes and then I am logged off. Well, it is a book instead... Or maybe a movie. Do you know if this is ruining Netflix and Dplay too?

    Dplay I'm not sure on since I don't use it, but Netflix seems to be solid so far? Maybe? If it was down, Twitter would be going nutso about it.

    The only time I really get miffed at people for how they look is when they're wearing 200k+ complexity avatars in an event space, especially when show only friends isn't an option. Otherwise, there are some pretty interesting people with prim and/or system avatars. I know of a few people who've had the same avatar bases forever, and seeing them use different/'upgrade' would make them unrecognizable.

    GTFO in Belli

    in Linden Homes

    I am puzzled about how it is that Belli rez zones are GTFO hubs.   I see two ways that GTFO might verify that a player has reached a hub:

    1.  The hub has a scripted object that interacts with the script in the user's vehicle to verify their presence and, perhaps, do a little RP around that.  I don't see how this can be done at a rez zone, unless LL has allowed GTFO to place their scripted object in it?  Surely not!

    2.  The user tells their vehicle that they've arrived at a hub, and the script checks with a web service to verify that they are at the correct place, and then presumably does a little RP to "unload" goods, and maybe pick up more.  Is that how it works?  But if so, why does the hub have to be at a rez zone. if the goods are physically nonexistent?

    I can answer this one! It's the second. The hud 'phones home' to check if it's in the region a delivery is going to, like stated in your second point. (or it may just store the region name and then pull some lsl to compare, i'm not sure). No scripted object has to be on the land at all. Hubs have to be rez zones because some people start out specifically at hubs in order to pick up cargo and go. So, no place to rez means no vehicle, since wearable vehicles aren't included yet.

    Fountains for a Victorian garden

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    Back when I had a fountain, I'd swap out between Hextraordinary's, Dahlia's Ravello fountain, and Theory's Courtyard fountain for a bit. Theory's is the lowest li, though it's a bit rough around the edges. I ended up using it for the longest. I also pulled the scripts/sound out of the Ravello and dropped it in because I just liked that sound better.
