I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1496 -Hive Integration Is My Next Project with Hermes Agent - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, August 23, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It's been three days using Ox Alpha (an anonymous model, probably the next version of GLM) via OpenCode for free with Hermes Agent, and I'm honestly blown away by just how much has been accomplished, and accomplished well, in that time. What used to take me multiple days of even weeks to do working with the smaller Gemma 4 E4B, now gets done in mere minutes and hours, and with far better results. Hermes Agent is becoming better with every update, of which there are usually hundreds per day, and I've got to say that them adding the '/model free' auto-routing option was a huge game changer for me.

Last night, after Hermes efficiently, effectively, and quickly got various small-though-important tasks done on my laptop, and because I wanted to make good use of the notable capabilities of the Ox Alpha model with which I'm currently working (while it is still free), the new focus of integrating Hermes Agent with Hive was set. Hermes is now able to parse, search, and pull in information from the Hive Blockchain, and we're in the midst of setting up secure key storage, so that Hermes will be able to transact on Hive safely.

I created a new test account for Hermes to use, @hermes-sandbox, until we get everything set up and working as it should. At some point, once everything is solidly and reliably working, then I'll give it access to my own account, and to the relevant 'We Are Alive Tribe' accounts, for it to assist me with asset management and recurring tasks, among other possibly-helpful uses.

Honestly, with how quickly progress is now being made, I have zero doubt that Hermes will very soon be operating on Hive, and across many accounts, just like I do, just without publishing posts. We may test comments, however. It actually just followed my account. Nifty.

Yep, things are going pretty quickly indeed, as it just successfully left a test comment on yesterday's daily post, and upvoted it. We're moving on to token transactions now. This is getting exceedingly interesting indeed. I can't wait to see where we stand tomorrow.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, and working with Hermes, by just before 3PM, giving my attention to some photography for my posts. Since it was a very cloudy and rainy Sunday, I went to Wabisabi early to make myself some food, and to collect my leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, before heading back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications super early, by just after 7:15PM, and after working with Hermes a good while, I finally went to bed by around 11:30PM. I woke up just before 7AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 2PM, so it's a very good 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 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 version 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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!

Join the worldwide Satsman Army! It's by far the best, most fun, inspiring, and motivating way to earn Bitcoin/BTC!
