I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1557 - So Much Excitement Around Hermes Agent and Omarchy Linux - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, October 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

One notable reason that I've come to deeply appreciate Hermes Agent and Omarchy Linux is because they are two truly exceptional open-source projects that not only allow code contributions from the community, but which actively welcome them. Last I checked, Hermes Agent has over 5,000 community contributors now, with Omarchy now at a bit over 600, with new contributions (including my own, via Hermes) growing quickly. Both interrelated communities also share an unbridled, and exuberant excitement and positivity for what is being built, and for the future, which I absolutely love.

Because there is so much community passion, positivity, and excitement around both Hermes Agent and Omarchy, and even more so when they're used together (as I do), their pace of development is extraordinarily rapid, with new features and capabilities being added with every update. With agentic-AI like Hermes Agent, no part of either itself, or of the underlying Omarchy operating system, are off-limits from direct modification, change, tweaks, and refinements, which is absolutely glorious. What incredible frameworks and systems upon which, and with which, to build!

I've been using Omarchy for five days now, with every day being a mix of accomplishing my various online tasks (including Hive), and working with Hermes to modify, tweak, and build different Omarchy components, to bring them all into alignment with my desired UI, functionality, and workflow. There's also been a good bit of work done on the autonomous liquidity-pool agent, in between molding the OS.

For a tinkerer and builder like me, Hermes in Omarchy is the ultimate genie in the bottle, that makes my ideas come to life before my eyes. I will always love Arch Linux, but diving into Omarchy (which is still Arch under the hood) with Hermes now feels exceedingly appropriate indeed, and with double the excitement.

Aside from my daily Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, working with Hermes, and especially now inside Omarchy, is an endeavor that keeps me at my laptop for many hours every day and night, because there are just so much exciting and cool possibilities to explore and unfold. I do walk away from my computer to do other things, of course, and I do sleep, but my laptop is currently my primary focus for building, both onboard, and online, and what I'm able to do keeps expanding, which excites and inspires me all the more. Yeah, this shiznit if fun as fuck!

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by about 2:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, after which I walked over to my friend Lea's property, to assist her with assembling her new bed frame, and getting her bed on it. Once we wrapped that up successfully, we shared another lovely meal together, and I finally ended up heading back to GaiaYoga by a bit after 6:30PM. Upon arriving at GYG, I made a stop at Wabisabi to collect my superfood fire coffee from the small temporary fridge, before making my way 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 a little after 10PM, and after another solid round of work with Hermes, I went to bed by a bit after 11:30PM. I woke up by little before 8AM, having slept reasonably well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, removing and dumping three full wheelbarrows of dead/bad coconuts at the upper coco bar, then beginning on this post, and more work with Hermes. It's now just before 1:45PM, so it's a marvelous 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 edition 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
