I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1578 - 37.6k HP Surpassed, and My Liquidity-Pool Agent Got a Good Workover - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, November 13, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Although it came a day later than expected, I blew past 37,600 Hive Power yesterday afternoon, which suggests that I'll exceed 37,700 Hive Power by around the beginning of the coming week. 38,000 HP will still come before the end of the month, just a tad later than hoped.

My friend Avi departed from GaiaYoga yesterday, after having lived here for almost a year. Avi and I assisted, helped, and supported each other in several ways, plus he was the only individual here with whom I could share my passion and adventures with Linux, AI agents, and technology in general, so him leaving hit me pretty hard. One very kind thing that Avi did for me was to give me access to his ClaudeCode subscription, something that I didn't try to use until yesterday, partly because I've generally been able to do everything that I need up until now using open-weight models like GLM5.3, GLM5.3-Flash, DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, and Kimi-K3, and because using a ClaudeCode subscription inside Hermes Agent was slightly more challenging. Thanks to the updated ClaudeCode plugin in Hermes, this was made far easier.

So after installing ClaudeCode in my Omarchy Linux installation, and setting up Avi's account (at his direction), I took it for a test drive. I had Hermes (using GLM5.3-Flash) direct ClaudeCode, first using Sonnet, to review the code base for my autonomous liquidity-pool agent, and to suggest improvements. This went very well indeed, after which Hermes verified the suggested edits, and then implemented them.

After that first success, I ran two more rounds with the same procedure, once using Opus 5.5, and then finally using Fable 5.2. Each round made the LP agent's code notably better than it was before, so it was a very productive day on this front indeed.

While I'm not crazy about using closed-weight corporate models, and I really don't like Anthropic one bit, if given the opportunity, which I was, I'll still utilize them in short, focused sessions, managed by Hermes, because Opus and Fable are still two of the most capable models available, regardless of my feelings about the corporation that created and hosts. My liquidity-pool agent's code and functioning is now much better than it was before exactly because I decided to make use of them.

Yesterday, Friday, after finishing up most of my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks by around 1PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session went beautifully well, we wrapped it up by around 5PM, and after bidding my lovely friend good bye, I got a few things done on my laptop, before heading to Wabisabi to collect my leftover superfood fire coffee from the small temporary fridge, and then 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 little before 10PM, and after another round of work with Hermes, and scanning my X feed, I went to bed by around 12AM. I woke up quite late, by just before 9AM, still feeling that I needed a bit more sleep, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House, to begin writing this post, and to work a bit more with Hermes. It's now just after 1:15PM (this post will be scheduled to be published at 2:05PM), 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 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
