I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1088 - A Rough Day Online, with So Many Technical Issues at Once - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, July 20, 2025

I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 6 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I had two posts to write and publish today, My 164th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: BPUD Yesterday, a Week of Steady Growth, and a Challenging Hive Week, and this one, and with all the issues that I've been having with various important Hive websites and services, it has seriously not been an easy task. I don't give up, though, so I always find a way, but bloody hell is this getting ridiculous.

Because of having to improvise in the face of so many things not working, I'm getting to this post quite late indeed, so I don't have very much time to finish it. What's so bizarre about these issues that I'm experiencing is that they are not consistent across browsers or between mobile and desktop, which makes it all the more confusing and frustrating. I'm seeing this on many different websites, not just Hive sites. Even Blurt's frontends seem to be having lots of issues too at the moment. It's basically digital chaos...lol!

I'm able to do certain things on my phone, other tasks on my laptop, and even by switching between different browsers on my laptop (Vivaldi and Vivaldi Beta, which are treated separately), so it's quite an exhausting juggling act presently. Part of my frustration comes from not yet knowing how to resolve these problems on my end, or even why I'm having such a different experience between my phone and laptop, and between different browsers on my laptop. It's like website roulette, seemingly without rhyme or reason.

I'm accustomed to running into issues from time to time on Hive, with tech hiccups here and there, but the past two weeks, first with how much less stable and usable the new version of Hive Keychain Android has been for me, and now with so many websites, several Hive sites included, going completely haywire. Dealing with all the issues is taking me so much time, time which I don't really have, so it's quite stressful to say the least.

Until very recently, doing what I needed and wanted to do on Hive every day was generally simple, quick, and quite easeful, which is exactly why this tornado of technical issues and problems all at once is so overwhelming, because so many things that used to work consistently well, now just don't, or they're inconsistent and unstable. The Hive and internet seas have been a bit rough for me over the past two weeks, but I'll just keep doing my best to keep things flowing as well as I'm able.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, quite late, around 2:45PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Once I had a nice batch of shots, I got various small tasks here and there done, and toward early evening I stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and I made my way back to the Flow House, to ease into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by around 9:30PM, and after some asset management, and scanning my X feed, I went to bed just after 11:30PM. I woke up quite late, just before 8AM, having slept fairly well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write and pubish my Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update, and to begin on this post immediately after. It's now just after 1:15PM, so a great time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography, then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2025 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
