I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1543 - My First Software Reverse Engineering Project with Hermes - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, October 9, 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! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

A few days ago I mentioned SRE (Software Reverse Engineering) frameworks, like Ghidra and Reverse Engineer Anything, that make it possible to analize and decompile closed-source applications, and the idea so fascinated me that last night I directed Hermes to look into two Github repositories that I had discovered, and to search other similar repositores, to find how we might implement this, and to see how we could make use of it. That was all set up last night, and we took this new SRE suite, Ghidra as the underlying engine layer, and Reverse Engineer Anything as the tool layer, for a test drive.

The focus of our first software decompilation project is one of my favorite 90s computer games, Total Annihilation, a 29-year-old 32-bit Windows 95 game. The first round of decompilation revealed that there were multiple components and layers, each of which Hermes is now in the process of analyzing and decompiling this morning.

Wow, that was fast. All significant decompilation has been completed, and the whole Total Annihilation game architecture is now clearly visible. This is extraordinarily interesting, and it opens many super-interesting doors.

Now that the TA source code and inner functionality is available, Hermes will be able to port it over to Linux as a native application, as well as to convert it from a 32-bit game to a 64-bit one. With open-source code, we could also even add new features, and develop the game further, though I'm mostly mostly interested at the moment in updating the game to 64-bit, and to get it running natively under Linux.

This project of decompiling Total Annihilation, updating it, and getting it to run natively in Linux, has no other purpose than the joy and the fun of learning, and to do something cool that I've never done before. From the look of things, Total Annihilation will make this endeavor quite simple and straight forward, which is awesome sauce to the max!

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just before 3PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, then to getting a wheelbarrow to salvage some potted plants from Melekai's area, and transport them back across the property to stage for planting. I also had to treat the perimeter of the Flow House for little fire ants, as they've been making an incursion into my living area, which is very much not OK. With all that done, I went to talk to Avi for a short bit, and for him to show me more of the project on which he's working with agentic AI. He ended up giving me a large computer monitor that he no longer needed, which I set up to use as a second monitor for my laptop, to extend the desktop. Once the monitor was mostly situated, I made food for Avi (who's paying me to do so), Michael, and myself, and after sharing a short-and-satisfying dinner with them, I collected my leftover superfood fire coffee from the small temporary fridge, and I headed back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to work another round with Hermes. I got through all of my notifications by around 10:30PM, and after working with Hermes a bit more, I went to bed by about 12AM. I woke up by just after 8AM, having slept fairly well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to write this post, and to work some more with Hermes. It's now just before 12:15PM, so it's a marvelous time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before preparing for a session that's scheduled for 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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!

Join my Satsman Army! Satsman is by far the best, most engaging, fun, inspiring, and motivating, educational, and profitable way to earn Bitcoin/BTC that I've ever seen! You will not regret it!
