I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1569 - The Hermes Agent and Omarchy Linux Communities Are The Most Passionate I've Ever Seen! - Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, November 4, 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 know that I've been talking about Hermes Agent and Omarchy Linux in these posts a whole lot, but it's for a very good reason, because they're both just so gosh darn incredible! They also both have by far the most passionate dev teams and communities that I've ever seen. The level of creative excitement is seriously off the chart. A huge reason for that is that both of these exceptionally-excellent open-source projects actively and enthusiastically welcome community contributions, including, and very notably, via AI agents like Hermes (yes, Hermes is even being used to build itself).

Even with my modest jungle setup, my Hermes agent has already successfully submitted several bug reports and PRs (pull requests) for both Hermes Agent and Omarchy (some of which have already been accepted and used), as well as for a couple of their plugins. I absolutely love that this is not only possible, but so easy to accomplish.

That anyone is able to contribute to Hermes and Omarchy is exceedingly exciting, inspiring, and motivating, which as mentioned above, has generated quite massive and passionate community support. I know that's how I feel about it. It's the feeling of having a hand in building something truly great.

Contributing to the open-source frameworks that I use every day is my way of giving back, as I endeavor to make them better, for everyone that makes use of them, myself included. I'm helping to build the house that I, and we, inhabit.

The passion and excitement around Hermes Agent and Omarchy Linux is definitely attracting attention, as some notably big names are lending their support, which is continuing to accelerate development and progress in both even more. Android and iPhone mobile phone apps and installers are also in the works, which means that Hermes and Omarchy will both soon be accessible to a much larger portion of the population. Hermes on an Omarchy phone sounds pretty sweet to me!

Yesterday, Wednesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little before 3PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and then to loading good shaker coconuts into Ano's truck, and separating and dumping the bad ones, then unloading the good ones on the just-cleaned coconut-sprouting beds down the first driveway, with Akhil's (a new fellow who's staying here for a time) assistance. When we finally completed that for the day (there's more to do today), I took a shower, heated myself up some food in Wabisabi, collected my leftover superfood fire coffee from the small temporary fridge, and with those in hands I headed back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to work a bit more with Hermes. I got through all of my notifications by around 9:30PM, and after another good round of work with Hermes, I went to bed by about 12:45AM. I woke up a bit after 7:30AM, having slept well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House, to write this post, and to work with Hermes some more. It's now just before 2:30PM, so it's a lovely 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, beginning with finishing the coconuts. 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
