So, I am officially on the #Federated #Metaverse of #OpenSimulator and #SelfHosting my own region server with a land size of 1024mx1024m, or, 1km2.

Can’t wait to get coding in the OSSL language and learn the ropes, and build my own virtual world!

I joined #OSGrid: www.osgrid.org/.

Expect me to provide you with updates, screenshots of my progress and all. My avatar on there is Temujin Calidius should you wish to find me in the metaverse!

Watching #wargames

Well, the good news is I got my region going on the #OpenSim #Metaverse. I went with #OSGrid as I was able to easily add my own region to it. It is a 4x4 (1024x1014) region (16 sims) - I should be able to build quite a bit on this.

I will post more when I have more!

Not only do I enjoy being part of the #Fediverse, but I also want to be on the #Metaverse, by setting up my own self-hosted instance of a 3d virtual world region on #OpenSim - too bad #SecondLife which is #centralized doesn’t go #decentralized and let users how their own worlds. Will let you know how I go!

Plan to setup a #VirtualMachine on my #SynologyNAS.

Last night, I attended Shen Yun 2025 in Melbourne. A stunning mix of art, culture & values, it left me in awe. Stories like ‘Enlightenment’ resonated deeply, blending tradition with universal truths. Highly recommend experiencing it! 🌟

Just shared a serene hike through the Whipstick Loop Walk with my mum.

Koalas, southern boobook owls, and stunning bushland made it unforgettable.

Watching #ShenYun performance tonight with the wife and kids. 4th time we have gone, love it every time.

Wow, I did not realise that #tracking was that complex. Data brokers know your every move! Be careful how many apps, and what apps, you allow on your phone.

I am glad I made the move to #GrapheneOS, which started my progress of removing as many apps as possible from my phone. Dumb it down! THen work on the PC!

I am going to go out of the way to put this one directly on my website, as this dude got offended and actually blocked me for responding to his post with “I love my Tesla though”.

Weak, really, took offense that easily to a respectful response to your public post? Now your public post can eternally remain public in memory :)

POP! Went a muscle on my calf why skipping. Quite painful, but hopefully nothing too serious and will be good enough to #hike with on Friday!

Got my first #PostCrossing card back. This one is from the #USA.

Woohoo, this is going to be an exciting #hobby!

My mother at the age of above 65, suddenly decides that now is a good time to take up #hiking with me. So I’ll take her on a easy, flat 7km trail today with no real inclines. Should take 2 hours or so. See how we go.

Going nice and early to beat the heat! #LerderdergeGorge

[The Psychology of Privacy: Why Do We Value It?]

I have been playing Civilisation VII early.

So far, I’m loving it. See how long that love lasts and if it can beat the classics!

So for us #Australians that have seen what’s going on in #USA - guess with our next #election coming up, we need to consider what choices we have.

Bit of a fun video: www.youtube.com/watch

So with these new law changes coming eventually to social media, including the need to verify ourselves with ID to prove our age - how does that look for #Mastodon and other #Fediverse social media? In particular the larger instances that have responsibility to its user base under their own countries laws?

I don’t think this would affect small private servers in any way, but I’m interested to know more…

Do you like #pranking your colleagues at work?

Found this cool website with loads of fun #pranks

Wow, this brought back some memories.

It’s just a shame that you cannot create an account behind a Proxy, VPN or Tor.

Might have to ask #DeepSeek to code my own version…
