I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1527 - Another Hurricane Incoming, and a New Badass Anonymous Stealth Model - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, September 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 8 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've just got go say that this year has been utterly ridiculous in terms of the number of tropical storms and hurricanes which have passed through, and near, the Hawaiian Islands, two of which caused notable damage on Kauai, and in the south of the Big Island. And guess what, yet another one is already forming, and it may be doozy. Things may be getting a bit rough as we more into Friday, which means that today I need to evacuate myself and my technology from the Flow House to the Kazbah yet again, and to batten down the Flow House once more. I'm getting more than a little tired of having to do this so frequently.

On three much more positive notes, I'll be blowing past 36,200 Hive Power today, which is coming right on schedule. The Hive Debt ratio is still continuing to fall, and it's getting close to 20% again, which we haven't seen for several months now. Concurrently, the APR for Hive Power also continues to fall, which although it means that our Hive Power grows more slowly, in terms of the Hive economy, it's a very good thing indeed. HBD may even return to post payouts soon.

I also caught wind of another new anonymous stealth model that was released for public testing yesterday, Space Bunny Alpha (probably the next version of MiniMax), and I've been working with it extensively since last night, and holy jumping fuckmuffins is it a solid model! It's very fast, efficient, and exceptionally thorough and capable, and as such, I've been making another round of accelerated progress. It's so quick that I can barely keep up with it, and man are we blowing through tasks, one after another!

I mentioned in a post a few days ago that Omarchy Linux had moved strongly onto my radar, and although I don't have a desire to replace my three Arch/Artix installations with it, I'll likely test it on a spare SSD. Hermes has already assessed Omarchy's GitHub repository as a very high-value resource for replicating and implementing various super interesting and useful features from Omarchy into my current Arch/Artix Linux installations. That it exceedingly exciting for me, because it would allow me to integrate Hermes far more deeply into my Arch/Artix Linux operating systems, making them true agentic operating systems. That will be a very significant step toward a fully coherent AgentOS.

Currently my new top three favorite free cloud-based models with which to work are my two workhorse, GLM5.3-Flash and Kimi-K3, and now Space Bunny Alpha/the new MiniMax version being publically tested. Nvidia's own Nemotron-3-Ultra is still very good as well, though Hermes discovered an issue where it was fabricating data, which is a very annoying behavior in some models. The other three that I just mentioned seem to be far better in this regard. From my first excellent experiences in working with Ox Alpha, which turned out to be GLM5.3-Flash, I've leared to jump on new anonymous stealth models immediately whenever they are released for public testing. I will say that these models just keep getting better and better with every new iteration!

Yesterday, Wednesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, quite late again, by a little after 3PM, in part due to lots of rain from the approaching tropical storm, giving my attention to moving needed perishible food back to a cooler in Wabisabi (the fridge is still dead), and then to devote some time to figuring out, setting up, and testing two the new ethernet signal boosters, and their electrical injectors, with mixed results and partial success. Once I finally finished that for the day, I went back to Wabisabi to make myself some food, to collect my leftover superfood fire coffee from the cooler, and with those in hands, I headed back to the Flow House, to work with Hermes some more, and to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by just before 10:45PM, and after another sold work run with Hermes, I went to bed by just after 12AM. I was awakened by Avi again around 6:30AM, because our solar electrical system had crashed again, even after having run the generator in the evening. After starting the genrator, helping to troubleshoot an electrical-system issue, and getting my Qortal node back online (I missed another daily payout, dammit!) I made my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then I returned to the Flow House, to work some more with Hermes, and to write this post. It's now just before 1:45PM, so it's an excellent 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 to prepare for the incoming hurricane. 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
