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 7 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Multiple significant Hive events coincided today, March 20, 2026; Hive's 6th Birthday, the March BBHO Powerup Day, and much to my horror, the disappearance of the best Hive asset-management interface, BeeSwap. Just before beginning this post, I powered up 926.361 BBHO, and of course I wrote and published a post about it, March BPUD - BBHO Powerup Day - 926.361 BBHO Powered Up!.

I've been actively building and growing on Hive for 4 years, 5 months, and 25 days of Hive's 6 years, or for 1,639 days of Hive's 2,190 days since its Hard Fork from Steem. That means that I've been here for 74.840182648402% of the time that Hive has existed.

Now about BeeSwap. When I went to do my morning asset management, I made the exceedingly unpleasant discovery that the domain name for BeeSwap had expired, and as such the BeeSwap website was, and still is, completely inaccessible. That hit very hard, I must say, because BeeSwap is by far the best frontend to manage layer-1 and layer-2 assets (as much as I appreciate Tribaldex and Hive Engine too).

BeeSwap's disappearance is extremely inconvenient, as that's the primary interface that I use for the vast majority of my asset management, both on my own account, and for the We Are Alive Tribe, as it just makes the process quick and easy. I have no idea how I'm going to do my own, or the We Are Alive Tribe's, regular asset management, especially pool management, because it's so ridiculously much faster on BeeSwap. This is quite a bugger indeed.

I can hobble along with Tribaldex on my own account, but using it for community asset management is almost completely unfeasible, since it would take so more time, which won't work at all, as community asset management already takes me quite a lot of time as it is now. For quite a while now I've very much wanted another, better BeeSwap, that incorporates some missing functionality from Tribaldex and Hive Engine, and fixes some of BeeSwap's annoying bugs, to be created, because BeeSwap is what I would call essential Hive infrastructure, so redundancy is necessary. I still have hopes that @borniet will find the time, and have the inspiration and motivation, to undertake such a formidable and important task.

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Kasbah, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. With that completed to my satisfaction, I got a few small jungle-community tasks done, after which I went up to the Flow House with Ano to assess and fix some of the damage that it had sustained from the intense winds a few days ago. We got two significant sections bolstered and secured, now I just have to replace a few cross beams at two points on the perimeter of the roof. I'll see about doing that today. Today is also the first day that we've had consistent sun, barring about 10 minutes of sun that we got yesterday, for the past almost two weeks. Once we wrapped up repairs in the Flow House for the day, I went to start the generator (there are still too many clouds during the day), make myself some food (a spiced-and-seasoned beef burger, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, smoked hot sauce, and Dijon mustard), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Kasbah, to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done just before 10PM, and after my own and ommunity asset management, I went to bed by a bit after 11:30PM. I woke up around 6:30AM, having slept well, futily attempting asset management on Tribaldex, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, returning to the Kasbah to write and publish my BPUD post, then beginning on this post. It's now just before 12:30PM, so it's an excellent time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other imoortant Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Kasbah a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some more photography for my posts, and then on jungle-community/land work and takes. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2026 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
