Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

After finishing up with my Hive tasks last night, I dove into another round of focused research on using two forks of llama.cpp, and the important flags for each, to test their effectiveness as backend LLM servers. From that bit of focused research just before bed, I put together two run commands, one for each, since they had slightly different usable run flags. I got to testing them out this morning.

Unfortunately my first round of tests using Qwen3.6 35B-A3B failed, with the model not even being able to load using the llama-cpp-turboquant fork, so I'll need to look more closely as to exactly why they didn't work a bit later. From some more testing, I realized that there's a problem with the llama-cpp-turboquant build that I compiled from source, and that it wasn't an issue with the run flags themselves (at least most of them), so more research and testing is necessary here.

Since I couldn't get Qwen3.6 35B-A3B to run, I decided to give Gemma 4 26B-A4B QAT a try, after modifying the run flags to work with it correctly. Much to my happy surprise, that worked quite well, though I still do have a good bit of experimenting and testing to do with it, to see how it compares to the much smaller Gemma 4 E4B that I've been using up to this point.

So I now have one of the two larger models that I wanted running successfully, which represents a notable boost to what I should be able to do with my agentic-AI system, using Hermes Agent. I'm very much looking forward to exploring what's now feasible that wasn't before.

Just in the short time that I've been working with this new model in Hermes Agent since loading it up successfully, it does seem to be quite a bit quicker and more capable than its smaller counterpart, which I'm quite appreciating indeed. Now that I know that I can run larger models successfully that can't fully fit in my GPU, there's no going back to smaller models, unless they have a specific useful function. Now to get Qwen3.6 35B-A3B up and running successfully.

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, quite early, by just before 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and then to some jungle-community tasks. I didn't really have the motivation to dive into any big projects yesterday, so I just got various smaller things that needed doing, done. I finally went to Wabisabi in the early evening, to make myself some food, and to collect my leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and with those in hands, I headed back to the Flow House, to do more research on llama.cpp run flags, and to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by a little after 9:30PM, and after more focused research into important llama.cpp run flags, and putting together the two run-command templates, I went to bed by about 11:45PM. I woke up just before 7AM, having slept well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House, to do my first round of running my two larger models with specific sets of llama.cpp run flags, and to write this post. It's now just before 2PM, so it's an exceedingly 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 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 manifestation 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

👆(final schematic design)

Each of these schematic design concepts originates from a sketch of mine. I’m an architectural designer by trade. With further drafting and digital work combined with AI image output queries I’ve developed some conceptual drawings, focusing and rethinking about what we call home. Think about consciousness, humanity, technology and the ever-expanding universe as One.

Thanks so much you all for coming and participating, hope you are enjoying and I'm open to your suggestions that would be greatly appreciated…

I've decided that all of you that participate in the contest deserve recognition, and as I told you some time ago, I was to increase prizes while the contest grows, so here are the changes!!

• Instead of giving away 10K BP (Blurt Power) delegation during 1 month to a single user, I will be giving away 20K BP, this is, 10K BP to each one, so it will be 2 winners each Sunday!

  I provide more details in the How it goes: section.

I'm also voting every comment (min 2 BLURT) with a valid participation (spam will not be voted). As my BP grows votes will be higher. Everybody wins!!

Till today the total amount of tokens given out in prizes rises to 28403 BLURT and 80000 Blurt Power 1 month delegation to the following users: @bendotri, @imfarhad, @ranesta, @sweetpiebpn, @dewiasih, @cryptoyzzyblurt, @bigbdp and @beben (10K BP each) . You can follow the accounting in this Contest Tracker Dashboard I've created: https://drakernoise.github.io/Blurt-contest-tracker/

The whole idea of this contest (project) is to engage people on building their accounts so we can all help each other build a wealth foundation, wealthness for all of us in BLURT.

Do you need BLURT? remember BLURT needs you as much as you need it, let's work together on making BLURT great. This is how you can help:

• Posting, voting, commenting, sharing content on social networks, onboarding new users, investing some bucks from time to time and powering BLURT up are all forms of providing value to our community making it robust and greater.

• Vote for your selected witnesses here: https://blurtwallet.com/~witnesses, don't spend all your availble votes if your BP is low cos it shares accross all votes. You want your witness votes to have some value at least.

• Buy/sell some BLURT on Probit so we raise our trading Volume, that's always a great move: https://www.probit.com/en-us/app/exchange/BLURT-BTC

• Cashing out if needed is ok but the main goal should be powering up your BLURT, take this into account. Create content regularly so you have a constant income stream that will allow you making both actions compatible.

There are lot of people working on building a great ecosystem, visit them and give some feedback and love while you know people creating content like you:

No one guessed the exact number... @beben was the closest guess so we have a winner of yesterday's contest : 100 BLURT ... congratulations!!

Proof of payment:

Proof Tx

The exact number keeps unknown, would you guess it correctly? The exact number is within 8137 - 9406 (both included)

I remind you that I cannot change the exact number which has been already generated by a random block in a random user's Blurt block explorer.

_{Created using: Gemini}

Prizes:

• Daily: 175 BLURT (Powered Up to your account) --> Match exact number
• Daily: 100 BLURT (Powered Up to your account) --> Closer guess of exact number
• Comment(participation) Upvote: min 2 BLURT value that will be increasing along time.
• Each week: 20.000 BLURT POWER delegation for 1 month chosen from the list of participants made during the week. The more you participate the more chances you have to win.

How it goes:

• Guess a number within a range of numbers.

• Exact number wins.

• If no one guessed the exact number, the closest one will be the winner. The number will be the same untill it's exactly guessed.

• If two users make the same closest guess, the first valid comment wins the daily prize.

• The number is randomly generated using a fair tool that generates random numbers (pseudo) based on a hash that is passed to it. It is SHA256-RNG that you can find here.

• The hash to feed the number generation tool will be one randomly picked up from a random user block explorer history.

• The generated number cannot be modified. I will provide proof of the selected hash. You can check the number generator script here.

• Monthly BP delegation: every comment(participation) will sum up as a total week participations. Eeach participation is a chance to be the winner. The more participations the more the chances you win. The same user cannot win a new delegation till the current one expires.

• To get the 2 winners of the monthly delegation I will use the same tool (modified accordingly) as the one used for the contest. Each time you participate your name will appear in the final list of names. Once a week has completed, from them list the tool will generate a random name chosen from the list. You can track contest data in the Contest Tracker Dashboard, here: https://drakernoise.github.io/Blurt-contest-tracker/

• The provided hash will be randomly selected from a random user's Blurt block explorer chosen the same day the closing message gets published on Sundays.

Rules:

• BLURT prizes will be sent Powered up since the idea is to help you grow your account, this is to promote BLURT engaged users.
• The 2 monthly 10K BP delegations will start every Monday and will end in a month.
• The contest is closed when I publish the closing message on the contest post.
• One comment per user only.
• You can edit your comment as many times as you wish till the contest is closed.
• Vote and reblog this contest, that would be really appreciated but is not mandatory.

And that's it!

Maybe along the way I'll find that the contest need to be tweaked to improve efficiency so changes may come after the due notification.
Any suggestion will be well received.

Let's try it again!

Remember the hidden number is within the range: 8137 - 9406 (both included)

Did you know I have a witness node running?... you can vote for me here: https://blurtwallet.com/~witnesses?highlight=drakernoise

Making BLURT great!

Good Day Fellas,

I woke up today really tired and I had to force myself out because I've got lots of stuffs to attend to outside my studio, it was quite a tough day, I did experience dizziness at some point which I later realized that the medicine had taken last night had caused because I did not get enough food but with all these happening, I found a fine time to create the beautiful drawing above still.

Kindly share your thoughts as comments below, I'll be glad to read and reply them all. Thanks.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!

Photography inside Dubai Airport On the way to one of our trips

Hello friends, I hope you are healthy and happy today, I have prepared new photos

This is Dubai Airport, we had to go to Dubai first on our trip to Thailand and we had a few hours stopover, so we were able to get inside the airport

It's very, very big inside, and you can't wait to spend hours watching the shops inside, from a variety of foods to restaurants, cafes,

electronics, and anything you can think of can be found inside the airport

Instead of sitting together, we went everywhere and visited the luxury and beautiful stores, and our time was spent looking around

I don't know how much damage was done there during the war, but I hope it is in good condition

Traveling is very enjoyable, and seeing new countries refreshes people.

I wish I could travel again.
I've just started getting tattoos. Of course, I have been practicing for a few months now and I want to tattoo on the body,

as I have almost done enough on artificial skin and it is time to tattoo on a human. It's a bit expensive because I use equipment high quality so I can do it well.

In her first official speech she stated:

"Simplicity is the new complexity".

At first, journalists and others present thought it was a nervous mistake and that she actually meant to say something else.

When the school year began, it became clear that it was not a mistake. From that year on, textbooks were replaced, with primary school books being used in secondary school, because according to the minister, it is better for students to learn less complicated things correctly rather than study complex subjects and not learn them well.

What was even more surprising is that she had massive support from parents who felt relieved not to have to tell their children again that they couldn’t help them with homework because they didn’t understand the subjects.

La simplicidad es la nueva complejidad

Cuando la nueva ministra de educación asumió a su cargo, nadie sabe el mérito que la llevó a ese nombramiento, declaró algo que dejó boquiabiertos a muchos.

En su primer discurso oficial declaró que:

"La simplicidad es la nueva complejidad".

En principio los periodistas y demás presentes pensaron que fue un error por los nervios y que en realidad quería decir otra cosa.

Cuando empezó el año escolar quedó claro que no fué un error. A partir de ese año, los libros de texto fueron reemplazados, utilizándose los de primaria en secundaria, porque según la ministra, es mejor que aprendan cosas menos complicadas de forma correcta en lugar de estudiar temas complejos y no aprenderlos bien.

Lo que fue más sorprendente es que contó con el apoyo masivo de padres que se sintieron aliviados de no tener que volver a decirles a sus hijos que no pueden ayudarles con la tarea porque no entendían las materias.

Today I joined a strong back and a stretching course in the gym. Later that day I visited my mom.

Since the app didn't count my steps from yesterday where I got nearly 20k steps, I post the photos of that day here now.

Some food at Don Camillo restaurant.

Thanks for reading.
