About

Hello, I'm Nodoka Hanamura.

I'm a SL resident of 5+ years (5~ years as Nodoka Hanamura, and two or so before my first account was lost in a hack.) I write about Second Life, my personal interests and other topics - which usually revolve around technology, gaming, SL's History and exploration, among other things.

In real life, I'm a 23 year old transwoman who lives in the Greater Cincinnati Area. I also serve as the SYSOP for NeoCincinnati BBS, a old-fashioned telnet Bulletin Board System. Feel free to 'dial in' at neocinci.bbs.io:23. (Netrunner Telnet Client is recommended), and maintain MIRAI Group, a multi-platform gaming organization.

If you like my posts, feel free to support me by checking out my SL Wishlist and gifting me something from there. It'd be greatly appreciated!

For business inquiries or for contacting me relating to my now defunct Twitter account and accessing my personal Discord Server to stay in touch, you can email me at nodo-at-kahanamura.com.

Regarding Flickr

 I have decided, after contemplation of the policy changes on Flickr that will inevitably negatively impact the Second Life community, to close my Flickr account effective immediately.

If anyone has any suggestions, please contact me on Twitter or at my email address, nodo-at-kahanamura.com.

The Reality about East River

"There is a house built out of stone.. Wooden floors, walls and windowsills.. Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust... This is a place where I don't feel alone.. This is a place where I feel at home. " - The Cinematic Orchestra - To Build a Home East River circa 2017, image via Inara Pey . On a bus ride home from a Job application & interview, I had been contacted by the Grid's friendly neighborhood Bugs Bunny impersonator, Daniel Voyager, regarding my recent twitter post that East River was no longer existent. He had apparently featured said post in a blog post regarding the full dissolution of the East River Community. I wish that I could have been featured on more positive grounds to be honest. I hate being the bearer of genuinely bad news. However, during that bus ride, I had written a small tweet thread of the subject of East River's demise and the reality of maintaining communities in Second Life. It sadly was lost due to time constraints and me havi...

ADVISORY: SECOND LIFE SECURITY RISK

 It has come to my attention that as of late, malicious actors are propagating viewers in group chats and other means to promote malware posing as SL viewers. These viewers claim to allow you to earn L$ by using them. The reality is, that the viewer is a trojan horse, a type of malware that disguises itself as a legitimate program, or a program that provides desired features or the sort. According to information on the viewer's operating procedure, the 'viewer' installation process has been modified to, once in a privileged (administrator) state, execute at least four malicious packages: CobaltStrike, a penetration testing (a type of tool used by white-hat (good) hackers to test systems against known exploits) tool that is used to check for attack vectors to install any of the three below: Trojan/Molotov.Reflo - a Remote Access Trojan. Quasar, another RAT, and: AsyncRAT, another RAT. Remote Administration Tools have legitimate purposes - as I for one use MobaXTerm, which fe...
