I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1419 - Continued Progress with LM Studio Settings and More Stable Hermes Sessions - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, June 7, 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 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well it would seem that the new settings in LM Studio, which is my backend LLM server (and also how I usually procure AI models), that I gleamed from some focused web research, have very much improved the stability of my Hermes Agent sessions, with everything running smoothly for more than 24 hours. That's excellent, though it's definitely not a stopping point, as much more is still possible than I've yet attempted.

Running and experimenting with AI models and agentic-AI frameworks on local hardware, systems, and networks, is very much at the cutting edge of discovery and further development in this exceedingly-rapidly evolving tech domain. Keeping track of, and staying on top of of it all, is daunting to say the least, because it's coming very, very, very quickly, and I only have so much time.

With the information that I've found from more focused web research last night, I will likely soon be able to run notably larger and more capable models on my laptop, thanks to some super useful llama.cpp run flags. Larger models are just able to do more, and in a more effective and efficient manner, so I'm keen to explore these new possibilities.

With increasingly ingenious quantization formats, compression, and how models are trained, tuned, and run, ever more capable models are able to run successfully on ever more modest hardware, and from what I can tell, this is just the beginning. Likely quite soon, incredibly powerful models, even surpassing the best cloud-based models, will be able to be run on pretty much any laptop or phone.

Being able to run larger and more capable models than I've been running on my laptop up to this point is essential for realizing my intentions of building a functional, elegant, and coherent agentic-AI operating system, so I'll certainly be exploring that soon, though at the moment I'm just celebrating having a more stable system, while working with what I have set up now. One step at a time.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my numerous important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 4PM, giving my attention to a few small jungle-community tasks, and to a bit of photography for my posts. I headed to Wabisabi by the early evening, to make myself some food, to collect my leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and with those in hands, I returned to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to do a tad more agentic-AI research. I got through all of my notifications by just after 9:15PM, and after some asset management, and some more agentic-AI research, I went to bed by just after 11:15PM. I woke up by about 7:45AM, having slept reasonably well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to prepare my goals-and-progress update to write later, and to write this post. It's now just before 1:45PM, 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 my goals-and-progress update as soon as I'm able to get it done, and the next iteration 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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!
