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! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

I blew past 37,500 Hive Power yesterday afternoon, a day later than I had expected, so I should exceed 37,600 Hive Power by some time Thursday, and 37,700 Hive Power by about Monday. I should also be well past 38,000 Hive Power by the turn of the month. While I will of course do my best, it's not looking like I'll be able to reach 40,000 Hive Power before the end of the year without an outside boost. We shall see.

I finally got another round of liquidity-pool management done on my own account, after weeks of letting sufficient SWAP.HIVE accumulate. This time around I added another 23+ SWAP.HIVE of investment liquidity into a wide array of pools. With how much time I've been devoting to working with Hermes Agent and Omarchy Linux, and also the depressed Hive economy, I just haven't been spending as much time on it as I had previously, though I still make sure to do it every few weeks or so, sometimes a little more if enough SWAP.HIVE hasn't accumulated yet.

On the subject of Hermes Agent and Omarchy, my excitement and passion keep growing. These already glorious community-driven FOSS (Free and Open-Source Software) projects and frameworks are moving forward with development at a ridiculously-rapid pace, and are becoming noticeably better as time progresses. I really can't stress just how amazing they are, especially when they're used together.

The popularity, as judged by the level of adoption and use, of both Hermes Agent and Omarchy Linux, continue to rise quickly and sharply, as increasingly more people discover their legitimate tech wizardry. It's very much looking like they're both moving quickly in the direction of mass adoption, which is incredible, and also a little unnerving. Soon Hermes and Omarchy will be able to run on almost any hardware, phones included.

I finally dove into exploring Omarchy at version 4.0, which is when agentic AI and Quickshell were integrated as essential components, and that was not surpringly when Omarchy's adoption, and the excitement around it, began to grow by leaps and bounds, and within a very short amount of time. I was on Arch Linux for 9+ years before experimenting with Omarchy, and even I was pulled to it like a magnet. That's really quite wild to me. There's a whole lot of fantastic and exciting software available now, but Hermes and Omarchy are white hot at the top of the list.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by around 3PM, giving my attention first to talking with Avi and Michael in Wabisabi about Avi's upcoming departure, and then to some photography for my posts. When I had that done, I unloaded Ano's truck after the Sunday market, I chopped and dumped bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and I made a quick food-supply run to Tutu's to restock Wabisabi, before taking a shower, making myself some food in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and of course to work a bit more with Hermes. I got through all of my notifications by just before 9:45PM, and after a little more work with Hermes, and after watching a couple YouTube videos about Omarchy, I went to bed by around 12AM. I woke up around 6:30AM, having slept well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House, to work some more with Hermes, and to write this post. It's now just before 2:30PM, so it's a great 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 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
