 Well, I've got starting time so I guess I can begin I'll be doing voice while speak easy sends it out in text I am you know saying Zun actually I think speak easy tells you that too it's been almost 10 years since I started wandering around in here let's see I sort of got started doing this just because I've been maintaining expedition central sites whose creator left us about a year and a half ago and all of the problems I've run into trying to make it current this talk is not intended as a lecture whether this discussion should be a starting point for individual thought and actions it may become necessary to act as a group approaching our providers though and just about 10 years ago I landed here on Isti Island and looks like leg leg is killing me now so I was pretty amazed just by landing on Isti Island and meeting people there my second week here one of the docents Thunder and Sipio took me to Second Life Botanical Gardens I was totally amazed by that and a lot of people used to gather around there in front of Isti headquarters and I was telling them about what I was amazed by and one of the guys there said he hosted tours every I think it was every Thursday and I started going on those with them tour guide happened to be Cyrus Hush who in real life was Matthew Poole and this sort of started a very fun and informative relationship he took me to a lot of places and for a long time we shared places that we found as we were wandering around in Second Life and there's a picture of Cyrus every time I visited one of his sites I was overwhelmed by the number of landmark givers that Cyrus had at the expedition central sites there's a shot looking up at them and I think this was in Chobo June 5th of 2016 I was saddened to learn of Cyrus's surprise and sudden passing I attended memorials in several communities this was at Visti Island this was in Chobo and this is the Chapel of Hope Preservation and Caledon I'm sorry I didn't realize Isti was not that well known I'll remember to include that in the next update since then that quite a few people have passed that we all have known and there are pictures on either side of the display showing the real life person who I met as patio plasma when I first started here and an old friend of mine Grace once saying life has changed how it differs from the rocks but we all know that Second Life is constantly changing this is the Visti exponential site and this is the one in Chobo these are the only two that remain now one of the problems that I encountered in trying to update them was the fact that having created everything the ownership was still Cyrus's and made it really hard to do much how would I update them replace all the exponential central expedition central landmarks giving the landmark giving plaques fortunately a friend of Cyrus is shared with me permissions on some of his objects this enabled some minor changes but none that gave me complete control of them so I was faced with how to figure out how to at least update things keep them going after testing all the plaques I began collecting newer replacement landmarks making newly labeled snapshots and uploading them I then made masks to risk rest just outside of the ones that were no longer valid or accurate this involved a lot of edit time and upload expense in and out of Second Life it also increased the prem count on the sites Cyrus was just one of the several accomplished Second Life and social media friends I have lost daily other social media lament the loss of active contributors and participants we have lost their art their bills and their philosophies I'm certain everyone present can say the same regarding lost friends in and out of Second Life may have seen this related news item of Canada's largest cryptocurrency exchange has left 145 million pounds worth of cryptocurrency locked in a digital wallet to which he reported they had the only password Gerald Cotton CEO of Quadriga CX exchange died on December 10th of 9th in India and actually another 90 million was inadvertently saved to the locked wallet just recently his wife states that she doesn't know the password or the recovery key despite it repeated and diligent sources leg is really slowing things down here the funds were stored in a cold storage wallet not connected to the internet and accessible only to people who knew the private keys or passwords this is a standard practice for many of the cryptocurrency exchanges to prevent hacking we've traditionally been able to save past great works with libraries archives and museums now with so much creativity occurring digitally we need ways to capture and pass that along it may be done on the internet may be on the internet forever but it may be degraded plagiarized or lost I had several friends that shared their account information with someone they trusted sorry the lag is really getting to me this has helped several save orphaned works a mutual friend had saved shared her permissions with Cyrus she has since shared her permissions with me this has helped to some extent I just this week learned of another avatar who passed in the past week I think it was on Wednesday you may or may not know her I'll put her on the in the text here this was a fortunate thing because her daughter basically had taken over all of her social media accounts as she was getting further and further along the way getting some permissions help me to some extent but I still couldn't move edit or delete the objects that were in the exponential expedition central sites and as a warning if you decide to share with a trusted friend be sure to read the terms of service with whoever your providers are and so you know exactly how they handle things I have contacted several of them and none of them have replied back to me but generally they they kind of look at anything that's created on their servers is their intellectual property and don't want to share it there's a note card giver here and it has a comp compilation of linen labs terms of services and several other resources to help guide you towards securing your digital legacy if you can encounter additional articles or links please send them to me either in world or at my email addie you're saying dot zone at gmail.com and I'll add them to this compilation so I'm open to any discussion or questions now there's a blog post in the resources by of course now in my mind blanks but the suggestion is to add digital contact emergency contact to your pics and it would be nice if we could get linen lab to actually add a emergency contact tab to our profiles I've seen some people have done worlds and I think in a previous discussion somebody said that varies with states whether that's accepted or not I've been wondering about the creative commons licenses and I guess I need to go back and read them again I think I read them about 10 years ago but that might actually help in some respects at least stuff that you've created and given to other people builds I don't know if I don't think I've ever seen creative commons licenses attached to builds so unless anybody wants me to leave this stuff up I'll go ahead and clean up after myself and for what it's worth just giving somebody your account information so they can log in after you've passed is also a chancey thing a friend had that happen to actually a teacher for her sim and he had said that he was going to donate all of his cash to the the building school and when he passed away she logged in on his account when the lab was able to tell that it wasn't him and she got banned and it actually took court proceedings for her to be able to get back into second life again I thought they got a free pass to go where they wanted to and a tag I turned my voice off I figured you guys didn't need to hear my scratchy voice well thank you
