I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1371 - Further Research and Testing of AI-Agent Frameworks, with One Path Closed - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, April 29, 2026

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

My adventures in creating an orchestrated multi-agent AI system have not gone anywhere near as smoothly as I'd hoped, I must say. OpenClaw, which has the largest ecosystem and community, and the greatest number of tools and features, which I'd love to use, if I could get it to work in my Arch/Artix Linux systems. Its installation and setup processes, however, are implemented in an exceedingly-opinionated and narrow manner, so after many diverse ways of attempting to install and work with it, for the moment at least, I'm closing the OpenClaw door, to explore other options.

The most interesting and promising other option is ClawSwarm, which is a part of the greater, and also very interesting, Swarms framework and ecosystem. I'm very much hope that setting it up has a lot less friction than I had with OpenClaw. Since Swarms and ClawSwarm use Python, I've also had to do a little research into the best Python package manager, which in the end made me choose uv.

I am happy to say that I got ClawSwarm installed successfully, and I just finished the initial onboarding process, to set up my basic orchestrated multi-agent AI system. Just those two steps being completed successfully is already much farther than I was able to get with OpenClaw, so this is looking like it might indeed work.

I still need to research and decide on which AI models that I should choose for each specific agent role, and which would be feasible under my laptop's hardware limitations of 64GB RAM/8GB VRAM, and a 32-core 13th-generation Intel i9 processor. The low VRAM on my Nivida video card is a notable constraint, but there are ways to work with it.

Once I'm able to get my first functional multi- agent system up and running correctly, then I'll be able to use it to to further customize, develop, and expand not only its own orchestrated multi-agent system and capabilities, but even my Arch/Artix Linux installations, both of which are super exciting possibilities. I definitely want to use it to build.

Yesterday, Wednesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by about 2:45PM, giving my attention to some photography for my posts first, and then to a few small jungle-community tasks. With those completed, I took a quick break up at the Flow House, then I got my machete to begin clearing the path to the cow stantion, at the edge of the 400-acres that sits adjecent to GaiaYoga property. I made some good headway, and after finishing for the day, I took a shower, did a quick food-supply run to Tutu's to restock Wabisabi, made myself some food in Wabisabi, turned on the generator, and finally I collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and my food, and I headed back to the Flow House to begin my even Hive tasks. I got everything done by about 9:30PM, and after some asset management, and more AI-Agent research, I went to bed by 12AM. I woke up by around 7AM, having very thankfully slept well, doing AI research, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House, to do more AI-agent research and testing, and to write this post. It's now just before 1:45PM, so it's a wonderful time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, and then on some jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's manifestation 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Vote for our @aliveandmmb Witness Node!

This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!

If you appreciate what we're doing with the We Are Alive Tribe, and feel inspired and motivated to lend a hand in building and growing our decentralized community economy and financial framework, which benefits all of us, community conntributions/donations/investments may be sent to our 'We Are Alive Tribe Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund' account, @waat-swif. They're deeply appreciated, and are put to very good use.

Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!

Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!

Vote for @bradleyarrow's Witness Node!

Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!
