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! πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβš‘πŸ’₯πŸ”₯βœ΄οΈβœ³οΈβ‡οΈπŸ‘£πŸŒ±βœ¨πŸ€™

Warm greetings all! πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

I've been discussing a business idea that came to my mind with my techie friend, Avi (who also lives here at GaiaYoga), on and off for the past few months now, which is basically buying used laptops that are in good condition, and installing Omarchy Linux on them, and then offering them for sale as AI-agent-/agentic-AI-ready laptops. Avi likes the idea quite a lot, and he's willing to fund the purchase of used laptops, which is a very good start.

I could install Arch, or any other iteration of Linux on the laptops, but Omarchy makes the whole setup much quicker and more easeful, especially given it's permissive MIT licensing, that allows for the use of their code in pretty much any way imaginable. There's even an option during the installation process that makes it easy to set up a new system for somebody else, which is absolutely perfect.

If and when we move forward with this idea, we'd very likely begin with solid low-end laptops/notebooks, that would need free or paid cloud-based models for agentic work, as well as mid and higher-range systems, that would allow various AI models to be run locally for agentic endeavors. We'd test diffent hardware and price ranges, to see which have the most demand.

My intention with this business idea is to help make working with AI agents, and agentic-AI frameworks, as well as with Linux, something that is easily accessible for people to explore, and at very good prices. While it would certainly be possible to offer them worldwide online, I'm feeling more inclined to explore our local Hawaiian and Lower Puna market.

Some of you may be wondering why I'm sharing a potential personal business idea with the world. Well, firstly because I always want to assist, help, and support others as much as I'm able, including with business ideas, and two, because this would likely be implemented locally, in my small neck of the woods, so people in other places taking the idea for themselves is not really a concern.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by around 2:30PM, giving my attention first some photography for my posts, and then to a short scheduled meeting with the Leadership Council. Once the meeting was completed, I took a quick break up at the Flow House, before unloading Ano's truck after the Sunday market, and chopping and dumping bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar. With those done, and after one more short break, I went to assist Braja with a few small tasks at her place, after which I headed to Wabisabi, to heat myself up some leftover food, and to collect my leftover 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 some more with Hermes. I got through all of my notifications by a bit after 9:30PM, and after one last round of work with Hermes, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed by about 12AM. I woke up around 6AMish, having slept fairly well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House, to write and publish my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update, to write this post, and to work another round with Hermes. It's now just after 2PM, so it's a wonderful 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 expression of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™

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.

Wishing you all the best with the local used laptop sales. Good idea to repurpose them for AI. Maybe you can turn it into a franchise where people buy your proven system after you've had it working locally for a few months. Offer a written plan on how to get started and maybe a certain number of hours of Live online chat support per week or month. Something like that. Just a thought. :D

Sounds like a great idea bro hope you move forward with it and it is successful.

I saw an interview with Warren Buffet years ago where he said he doesn't care about sharing ideas as most people would never be able to execute it correctly in the first place.
