I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1383 - FOSS-Linux, Blockchains, and Using the Hermes-Agent Framework to Build an AgentOS that Interconnects Them - Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, May 11, 2026

5 hours ago

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well, it would seem that my long-time tech loves, Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS, the umbrella for everything), Linux (Arch Linux/Artix Linux), and Blockchain Technologies (Hive, Blurt, Qortal, etc), are now getting some company with the addition of my newest tech passion, Agentic-AI, AI Agents, and using them to build AgentOSes (Agentic Operating Systems), and it's taken hold of me quite strongly indeed. There is so much research to do, and not only about what exists now, but also for what is being built and developed in basically real time. Time, that's my main constraint.

I'm an integralist by nature, always seeking to interconnect, reconcile, and integrate everything that I learn, everything that I know, and everything that I love, into greater functional wholes. I do it with everything, including with what I'm attempting to build within the Hermes-Agent Framework. Basically, I want Hermes to be able to easefully connect interact, and transact within multiple blockchain ecosystems, Hive, Blurt, Qortal, among others, and to integrate so fully into my Arch/Artix Linux operating systems that it would be able to manage them completely. Those are two huge goals, but I'm clarifying the goals, setting the course, and beginning to slowly implement this cross-domain technological integration, with Hermes' assistance, one important piece at a time.

Since I'm doing all this off-grid in the jungle, under often very challenging tecnological conditions, I'm making certain that nothing that I'm building with Hermes would be lost, even with hardware failure, via cloning my running Arch/Artix Linux installations, and by auto-syncing Hermes' directory to a backup directory in my locally-synced no-knowledge encrypted cloud storage, MEGA. I need to be able to continue building over extended time frames, so I'm implementing ways to prevent the loss of progress.

With the little bits of time that I'm able to fit in daily, I'm splitting it pretty much evenly between working with Hermes, and continuing to research, explore, and experiment with other tools and systems that could be integrated into Hermes, to make it even better. The Hermes-Agent Framework is quite flexible and modular, allowing for the easy integration of new tools, skills, and plugins, so I'm endeavoring to take full advantage of that generally easeful integration.

Given that I've never tried to accomplish what I'm now working with Hermes to do, I don't fully understand yet exactly how to proceed, so I'm definitely taking advantage of the assistance that Hermes is offering me to work on it one step at a time. Presenty our forward progress is slow and steady, punctuated by periodic notable leaps. I'm working to even out those oscillations into a solid, steady, ongoing stream of development and building.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by around 2:45PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and to a few small jungle-community tasks. With those completed, I took a quick break up at the Flow House, then after a food-supply run to Tutu's to restock Wabisabi, I got my machete to clear around a citrus tree that I had missed during my last round. Once I had that finished, I took a shower, I made myself some food in Wabisabi, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, I headed back to the Flow House, to do more agentic-AI research, and to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by about 10:30PM, and after some much-needed asset-management, and more agentic-AI research, I went to bed by just after 12:30AM. I woke up just after 7AM, still feeling that I still needed a bit more sleep, doing more agentic-AI research, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to work with Hemes a bit more, and to write this post. It's now just before 2PM, 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 in some 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 incarnation 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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!
