i enjoy creating ancient worlds in opensimulator (open source second life), because the landscape can be quite large, but it s limited by the viewer's capabilities. Still more fun than building alone in Unity or other 3d editors

Lets hope that SSL certs will only be a temporary solution. Why can't we switch to a system that doesn't depend on central authority? In the meantime, it would be nice for letsencrypt to pledge not to take big donations from corpo
