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 7 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 I'd really like to talk about other far more interesting topics in this post today, the internet outage that I mentioned in yesterday's post has kept me very occupied into today with troubleshooting, and trying various possible solutions, though sadly to no avail. We've now been without internet access for over 24 hours, which really throws a huge wrench in my daily operations.
Since it's presently necessary to accomplish any and all online tasks via my phone, everything is taking me so much longer, which allows less time for other important endeavors. I went to sleep quite late last night, after 12AM, because it took me so long to finish my usual evening Hive tasks. To say all this is frustrating is an understatement.
I don't give up, though, rather I just adapt, improvise, and overcome the best that I can with what I have available to me. I'm definitely missing important income from my Qortal node being offline, and being unable (yet at least) to claim VOI (and other tokens) on the VOI fountain site. This annoys me, immensely.
So far we're still not exactly clear about what is going wrong with the dual-broadband mobile-network router out on the lava in the Doghouse, as the information that we're getting is quite confusing and inconsistent. It might be that components of the hardware are failing, which would necessitate buying a new suitable router. The T-Mobile SIM card might need to be replaced too, to be compatible with recent network changes.
Unless a solution can be found today, it's looking like our community internet might indeed be out for an extended period of time, since new hardware or a new SIM card would have to be shipped to us. I'm a bit concerned for Sunday, since that's when I do my once-weekly thorough asset management, and various other important administrative tasks, for the We Are Alive Tribe, so I have a lot to do, which will just take me notably longer on my phone. My fingers and toes are crossed, and I'll just do the best that I can.
Yesterday, Friday, after finishing up at least some of my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks on my phone, I very quickly prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session started slightly late, it went very well, and we wrapped it up by about 5:30PM, after which I tried one more possible method of rectifying our non-existent internet connection, sadly without success. After that, I went to the Landing to heat myself up some leftover food that I had in the fridge, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on various other Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks that I couldn't do earlier. Since I was working on my phone, it took me a long time, and I didn't get to bed until just after 12AM. I woke up quite late, by a little after 8AM, having slept well, doing a little asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. I've also been fiddling with the router in the Doghouse, and with its software interface, still without success. It's now just after 1PM, so it's a good 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 on photography for my posts first, and then on continuing my battle with our uncooperative internet. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
