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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Almost in passing, I noticed that I had surpassed 19,500 Hive Power yesterday afternoon, which I found to be a nice surprise. It's also the June HPUD tomorrow, in which I'll be powering up around another 60 HIVE. That means that exceeding 19.7k HP before the end of the coming week is indeed a given. Not bad, not bad at all.
By tonight I should have the necessary details of the We Are Alive Tribe's new level of BEE income, once the curation rewards from last week begin their distribution. Once I have the numbers, I'll be able to much more easily extrapolate and predict how much BEE that we'll gaining each week. With those numbers I'll then be able to determine whether delegating a portion of our sizable BEE stake to @centtoken would be indeed be helpful or not. I'm very curious what the totals will end up being.
As I've already mentioned in at least one previous post, the We Are Alive Tribe and the LBI project will be co-creating a new shared ALIVE:LBI liquidity pool soon, with the cost to create the pool being split evenly, so 500 BEE each. We currently have a bit over 138 liquid BEE on @aliveandthriving, as well as a good bit of BEE in various pools, so between those and the BEE that we'll now be receiving in curation rewards from our vastly-augmented BEE stake, it shouldn't take very long at all to reach our goal of 500 BEE for the pool.
I mentioned in my post yesterday that I was likely going to return to using LM Studio as my backend LLM server for Hermes Agent, because even though I really appreciate the fine-tuned, granular control, and the decreased CPU-GPU memory footprint provided by llama.cpp, until I'm able to hit upon the essential build and run flags for it, LM Studio is just a lot more stable and reliable. After experimenting with different run flags and their values in LM Studio last night (LM Studio uses llama.cpp as its model inference engine, so it has most of the same flags), and I thankfully hit upon a combo that has been more stable than my previous experiences using it. I started its LLM server last night, and even running all night, and me working with Hermes across many sessions, even across multiple context overflows and the subsequent session resets, it's still running strong, and with GPU offloading also continuing to function correctly. That is truly excellent news.
Running Hermes Agent in my Arch/Artix Linux installations is now an essential part of my technological infrastructure, as it's notably extended what I can easily do myself. Hopefully soon, it will also become an integral part of how interact and work with, and how I manage Hive, Blurt, and Qortal (others in time), the three notable blockchains where I'm most engaged and active. Hermes Agent and agentic-AI tech are developing and evolving at a breakneck speed, which means that pretty much everything that I do on my computer (and even beyond it) is becoming easier and easier. That's pretty nifty, I've got to say.
Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 2:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and then to a few small jungle-community tasks, including chopping and dumping bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, collecting and cleaning a bunch of coconut meat for my superfood fire coffee, and planting some seeds of safusa, an avocado relative. Once I wrapped up planting safusa seeds, and a bit more work in my nursery, I went to Wabisabi to make myself some food, and to collect my superfood fire coffee from the fridge, before heading back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks, to refine my LM Studio run flags, adn to work with Hermes a bit more. I got through all of my notifications by just after 10PM, and after some more work with Hermes, I went to bed by just before 12AM. I woke up around 6:30AM, having slept reasonably well, working with Hermes some more, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to work a little more with Hermes, to do some more agentic-AI research (this time on multi-model cross-token distillation), and finally to write this post. It's now just before 1:45PM, so it's a great time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my numerous important Sunday 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 a few small jungle-community tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my HPUD post tomorrow morning, and the next version of these posts tomorrow afternoon! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Vote for our @aliveandmmb Witness Node!
This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!
If you appreciate what we're doing with the We Are Alive Tribe, and feel inspired and motivated to lend a hand in building and growing our decentralized community economy and financial framework, which benefits all of us, community conntributions/donations/investments may be sent to our 'We Are Alive Tribe Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund' account, @waat-swif. They're deeply appreciated, and are put to very good use.
Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!
Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!
Vote for @bradleyarrow's 
Witness Node!
Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!
