I live barefooted and naked, very close to Earth and Nature, in a 16-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. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Today I decided to get one of my browsers (Vivaldi) on my first Arch Linux hard drive set up with the Hive Keychain extension, and then log in to various Hive websites. Once I had all the sites that I use regularly open, I put them all in one tab group, called 'Hive', of course. I really like using Hive on my laptop!
Along with setting up various Hive websites to work with the Hive Keychain extension, and giving the sites a test run to see how they worked on my laptop, I also continued to bring this first Arch hard drive up to date with how I want to use it now. Since I hadn't used it (because my computer died) for one year and eight months, I have a lot of reconfiguring to do. Once Arch on this first hard drive is at a pretty good place and mostly updated, I'll swap out this hard drive for the second one and then get that one bootable and updated, too. I'll then clone the first hard drive using my handy hard drive cloner, and pack it and the cloned drive away in a air-tight sealed plastic bag to store until they are needed again. When I get the second hard drive to good place, I'll a swap it out for the third and last Arch hard drive, and clone the second one just as I did the first. At that point, I'll be back to using one hard drive for a few weeks, then swapping it out for the next in line, and on and on.
One of the other things I was doing today, while I was doing my Hive and Arch tasks, was to download and install various updates for my two ASUS routers running Asuswrt-Merlin custom Linux firmware, the RT-AC5300 in the Landing, and the RT-AC68R which is up here at the Flow House acting as a repeater for the first one. I'm slowly putting my technological infrastructure back together, out here in the jungle at GaiaYoga.
Doing my Hive tasks on my laptop speeds things up quite a bit, except for emojis...😂! They take me longer to find on my laptop than my phone. When I do some Hive tasks on my phone, and others on my laptop, then I feel like I'm really flying! I dig that a lot!
I stayed up at the Flow House doing my Hive/Arch/router thing, while I enjoyed my super food fire coffee, until about 3:30PM today, at which point I went to water my plants in my nursery (it's been very dry lately), and then I went to work in the garden for a while, planting various important medicinal plants in the ground. It always feels good for me to put plants in the ground, especially ones about which I'm excited! The plants that I put in the garden today are all important species in my medicinal tea blends, which I have not made in many months, which is why I wanted to get them planted ASAP. I miss my teas!
When I finished planting in the garden, I put my tools away, took a shower, and made myself some food in the Landing, then I returned to the Flow House to continue with my Arch and Hive tasks. Like the past two days, I finished writing and I published my Index4Index Daily Inspired Motivation: Compete Only Against Your Previous Success! post in the evening again, even though I had begun writing it, and had much of it finished, before I left the Flow House. This new schedule for those posts seems to work for now.
It's past 11AM here now, so I'll take that as my cue to take my leave. I want to get to sleep very soon, but I'm going to do one more Hive round to make sure everything is caught up before bed. Until tomorrow y'all! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚
