I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1556 - 37k HP Today, and Massive AI-Agent Attacks on Internet Infrastructure - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, October 22, 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 said in my post yesterday that I'd be reaching 37,000 Hive Power at some point this week, and it turns out that today's the day, with that notable milestone coming later this afternoon. With that being the case, and it now being October 23rd, I may reach 38,000 Hive Power before the end of the coming month, which would be awesome sauce indeed.

AI and agentic-AI tech is developing and evolving at an incredibly mind-boggling rate, and it's been giving immense new capabilities to vastly more people around the world. Most of the ways that AI agents are being used is actually very inspiring, motivating, and exciting, as I can attest from personal experience. Not everyone who uses AI agents has good intentions, however.

Over the past few weeks, and especially the last few days, there have been massive coordinated swarms of AI agents attacking a wide array of internet infrastructure, finding and exploiting security flaws in the software that runs various sorts of web-service servers. At the last estimate, around 70% or more of the current internet infrastructure is still known to be vulnerable.

If you've noticed various websites not working over the past few days, and even certain internet connections performing poorly, this is very likely one of the main reasons, the infrastructure that runs the internet is being targeted, as well as financial infrastructure like banks. From the look of things, trying to accomplish things online may get a bit challenging fairly soon.

Not only are AI agents, using assorted capable models, being used to directly attack essential and important internet infrastructure, but they're also being used to create notably 'better' malware that is much more difficult to detect and remove. With how quickly all of this is unfolding, securing our devices, and our internet practices, becomes an imperative priority. So that's exactly what I had Hermes do last night, to do a full security audit of this new Omarchy installation, and to plug holes and harden it up a bit more. Thankfully there wasn't a lot that surfaced, and what did appear was rectified. Be very careful where you choose to share your information, passwords or otherwise, my friends.

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just before 3PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. With that completed, I got my machete and I walked around the property in search of harvestable bananas, of which I found three racks (one large, and two small). Once I wrapped that up, I took a shower, made myself some food in Wabisabi, collected my leftover superfood fire coffee from the small temporary fridge, and with those I hands, I headed back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to work some more with Hermes. I got through all my notifications by just after 10PM, and after another round of working with Hermes, I went to bed by about 12:15AM. I woke up by about 7:45PM, 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 a bit more with Hermes. It's now just after 1:30PM, 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 to walk over to my friend Lea's property to assist her with putting her new bed frame together. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
