Eiciel OS — an operating system

Founder & Builder of Eiciel OS | Cybersecurity

What it does

I'm building Eiciel OS, a hardened Windows environment focused on reducing attack surface, controlling network access, monitoring activity and providing human-controlled incident response. Currently looking for cybersecurity professionals and technical users willing to challenge the product and provide honest feedback.

Eiciel OS boots real hardware through GRUB multiboot, sets up its own GDT and IDT, drives the framebuffer directly over VBE/VESA, and draws a graphical desktop — dock, draggable windows, wallpaper — with zero external OS underneath it. QEMU's -kernel loader always falls back to mode 13h. Getting a real linear framebuffer up under GRUB meant fighting the boot process one layer at a time. The multiboot header was missing five zeroed a.out-kludge placeholder fields, and kernel_main(magic, mb_info) had its cdecl push order reversed. Fix — zero the kludge fields, correct the argument push order. init_idt() hardcoded selector 0x08 , assuming QEMU's bootloader GDT layout — a layout…from eliecil-os.vercel.app

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
