I don't think you understand the relevance of what is going on. IF they can put code into it to crash or disrupt your OpenSim software, then what else is in the code that we are unaware of ? I see a HUGE security risk here. Anyone who has this running at home on their home network, they invited them into looking at your network and your computers. I have permanently shut down my Grid. I no longer support OpenSim.<div>

Why not just set your system clock back a day or so on April 1st until
April 2nd to avoid it in the first place if you're using a dev release?
Of course that assumes OpenSim gets the time and date from the system
rather than NTP... I'm not sure lol.<br>

As for the people who don't have a heads up on this I don't know what
to say.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>Note that: 1. These pranks are a more than just a bit

Beware, we have one month before April Fool's day. Gremlins have<br>
been known to appear in OpenSim on April Fool's day. If you have<br>
critical demo's on April 1st, don't use OpenSim! :-D You have been<br>
warned!<br>
