A secret C practitioner, FreeBSD aficionado, cloud admirer (the real ones), and artist wannabe.

Screenshot of the Aster operating system running in QEMU. A terminal editor window is open, displaying a psh script with syntax highlighting, including comments, variables, strings, functions, and structured values. A classic menu bar is visible at the top of the desktop, while a small dock with Files and Terminal icons sits in the bottom-left corner. The editor shows line numbers, a status bar, and a scrollbar, giving the interface a retro workstation feel.
Terminal window showing the raise serve --bind-all --qr command serving a static website from a local _build directory. The output warns that --bind-all exposes the server on all network interfaces, then lists the local URL (http://localhost:9090), the LAN URL (http://192.168.1.204:9090), and displays a large QR code that encodes the network address for quick access from another device.
Screenshot of the Python interactive interpreter showing the command import this, which prints The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters. The terminal displays the full collection of Python design principles, beginning with “Beautiful is better than ugly” and ending with “Namespaces are one honking great idea — let's do more of those!”, followed by the Python prompt awaiting the next command.
Screenshot of the Aster desktop showing two native applications running. In the foreground, the Files application displays the root directory with folders such as apps, bin, boot, dev, etc, system, users, and var, alongside about.txt and guide.txt. Behind it, the TextEdit application is open with about.txt, describing Aster as an experimental 64-bit x86 operating system inspired by the simplicity of OpenBSD and the graphical approach of NeXTSTEP. Both applications use Aster's blue-and-gray desktop theme with classic window decorations.
Screenshot of the psh terminal running on macOS. The terminal demonstrates array support by creating an array [1, 2, 3, 4], formatting it with fmt, and iterating over its elements with a for loop to print each value. The shell features syntax highlighting with a dark theme and displays the aster % prompt.
Screenshot of Aster OS running the psh shell. The terminal demonstrates structured command output using the fmt builtin, converting vmstat memory statistics into shell-accessible fields and displaying them with formatted text and a progress meter.
Screenshot of Aster OS running in QEMU with two retro-style terminal windows showing colored JSON output from system tools like ps, mount, and elfdump. The desktop uses a minimalist blue workspace with an early UNIX workstation feel.
Screenshot of the operating system running inside QEMU. The desktop has a light blue background with two overlapping terminal windows using a classic dark theme and silver-blue title bars. The terminals display xterm compatibility tests, process listings, and PTY device information. A small terminal launcher icon appears in the bottom-left corner. The UI is minimalist and retro-inspired.
