Chimi is sooo clingy. Lhaa then when am I supposed to sleep?? 😆
An automated wealth distribution mechanism, done on the sly. ❤️
Alhamdulillah, I met one of the parents of an RWID student and we had a long discussion about planning and RWID's future.
RWID will Returnsn with multiplied strength: bi idznillah.

Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah. Thanks to the Anthropic grant, I can let out all my ideas without thinking about AI credits. Or thinking about using low-cost models. Before, all in on DeepSeek: a month's usage around Rp 700k - Rp 1m. The best. Sangadh.
But once I got the Anthropic grant ... masya Allah. Earth and sky!
DeepSeek is still amazing for coding and other agentic stuff. But the solution from Anthropic with CoWork and also Opus 5.5 .. crazy! As crazy as crazy gets!
In less than a week, I've already released:
- RWID/OS Operating System
- The conventional RWID Platform
- The WebOS RWID Platform (this one is already 90% done from DeepSeek, you know)
- This life-flow Platform
- Etc etc etc etc etc
It's been so much fun that I work with two machines: MacMini and iMac.
At first just MacMini, but once agentic ran 3 projects .. it started lagging.
So, the iMac was brought in and operated with Tailscale and tmux there.
I also split CoWork between the iMac and MacMini
Bottom line: if there's any time when one of these two machines isn't working .. I feel like I'm losing out big time.
Why?
Claude Max USD 200 x 5 seats!
Per month
For 1 year!
Masya Allah
The help has been so tangible.
Alhamdulillah
My first Linux was LFS: Linux From Scratch
When Ubuntu first came to campus --1998--, I immediately opened its kernel source code in ViM: I was really fascinated. From there, the desire to make my own Operating System was always there: I wanted to follow in Linus's footsteps, which started with learning Minix. Back when I worked at Gameloft (I was in the 2nd batch; the first batch included Mas Dewantoro), I changed the shell of Windows 7 (?) to emacs. Made it fullscreen and removed the Windows taskbar: it felt like having an operating system that was entirely my favorite text editor!
Now, RWID, designed as a web OS, reminded me again of that old desire: to make my own operating system. Sure, not the Kernel. Just the shell. https://lnkd.in/gEaGc6Hj So, since yesterday I've started discussing and pouring out ideas and directing Opus 5.5 to start: use a Fedora Atomic core, so that the core of the OS (kernel and systemd etc.) is immutable. The rest is RWID-Shell + Learning Kit.
My train of thought is simple: Mas Nadiem Makarim's idea for bringing IT skills to remote areas is right. It's just that for some reason the choice was ChromeOS. Because that means the OS practically just becomes office tools. Why not make our own OS/distro complete with tools to produce digital workers + remote workers whose mindsets are educated starting from elementary school? This OS must be complete with all the toolchains to develop mobile + frontend + backend + ethical hacker + VA + Designer.
Because, once the laptops distributed to students are installed with this RWID/OS, then the moment they're opened ... voila. They can immediately work on any remote job, without needing to bother downloading all sorts of
stuff. And it's already preloaded with Open
Code + Claude. Then it's just up to the government to partner with them to subsidize AI.
Oh yes, RWID/OS is also equipped with Ecobook, which becomes a smart teacher offline.
With this vision, I'm developing RWID/OS. It started with refactoring the OS shell from the RWID web, which I named ecOS. https://lnkd.in/gRVVaVD9 It works! So the discussion continued to really use ecOS as the shell of its own operating system. The first step is developing our own Compositor: window management must be native, because the content from RWID apps is actually just html + css + js. If we don't make our own compositor, it won't be seamless. With our own compositor, later Zoom and the ecobook Mastering Agentic AI will be hard to tell apart—which is native and which is html. Because both are first-class netizens in this RWID/OS windowing system.
Version 0.1 as a proof of concept was successfully realized! https://lnkd.in/gZYtafAVSaya I looked ahead again: "
What about the remote worker hub idea I once thought of to push remote work across all of Indonesia?"
After pondering, I think the abundant Kopdes can have their assets used.
Then, Indonesia will produce many independent digital talents!

For those still in denial about AI that will be able to cut off hundreds of thousands of programmers worldwide, take a look at this link: I put together the medium like feature on this RWID platform in a matter of hours, from after Subuh prayer at 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. And even then, not working nonstop. It took about 23 prompts. This is still not optimal, because it did create SQL table creation that calls the table before it's created. This RWID as a whole was also built with AI.
Ups and downs at the start because the tech and approach used weren't right yet, but eventually I found the deadly combination: Cursor Ultra, USD 200/month.
If anyone is still making mistakes in using AI .. then that's definitely because AI is positioned as an assistant. That's wrong. The correct way:"
We are AI assistants who help explain to the AI what you want it to make, where it will do everything: 99,999%!"
The world has gone crazy ... https://lnkd.in/gCsJ7Grg
Using a combination of:- Netlify- Github- Supabase- NextJS- Firebase Auth + Realtime
Seems like this can already be a low cost and high quality tech solution. If a microservice model is going to be used here, it's just that each next.js app provides its /pages/api.
Truly fully in the cloud, without needing to think about many things. https://sminar.id
Build with NextJS and Rust. It will host to $DCSI token to use RWID Villas all around the globe!#fullstackdeveloper#rust#nextjs #reactjs#blockchain https://www.cdbc.id/
https://www.dcsi.id Domain secured. Content is already up. Next for the buy and sell commodity process
#dcsi sounds fun, right?
Using the antithesis term #ipo and #saham #pasarsekunder and all.
But the beginning was simple, you know:- #rwidprime product starting price 6.5 million, can be for 3 people- But the single folks were confused about who to give the 2 seats to - I thought for a moment, "
It's okay to sell it, the money is yours". - So he got 1 million profit in the form of an rwid prime discount- At one point my thoughts wandered, "
Hm, so this could also work, huh, selling rwid prime at wholesale price and offering it to those who won't use the product anyway, but of course are interested in getting profit from the retail - wholesale difference, where rwid is the one selling it. #rwid gets money upfront for operations, they get passive income profit"- I put together the pricing scheme for a moment, at that time just used an arbitrary 25% profit. - Thinking about the name, "
Hm.. Commodity .. Commodity Investment .. hm .. Direct Commodity Investment. DCI. Nice.. Hm, short.. Direct Commodity Short Investment. DCSI"- Posted to WA story, less than 24 hours later one of the VIP members became the first holder of this system. Put in 20 million, sale, returned 5 days later 25 million. Proof of concept!
After I studied it more deeply for the thesis, "ooh, this turns out to be the next part of Gold Backed Syirkah/GBS." And.. "
Ooh, it turns out there is a sharia transaction contract called Bai As-Salam, where the Prophet's companions could take the purchase proceeds for products sold later, to overcome a situation where there is a need for funds but no harvest yet"
So, that's how it is: the system grew to be as solid as it is now, even though the initial intention was just to help those who needed to sell their 2 rwid prime seats.
It's clear now what the beginning of #dcsi was, right?
Not because I wanted to gather as much funds as possible, but simply because I wanted to help. https://lnkd.in/gfm3S9VR
#dcsi and the #rwid curriculum will soon be implemented at one of the legendary Islamic boarding schools in Central Java! Alhamdulillah. 🔥🔥🔥Building this #dcsi is indeed not easy, but it feels light because the intention underlying it is pure: distributing wealth. Not absorbing wealth. You can compare the spirit of #dcsi with the spirit of #ipo and the difference will look very contrasting. #ipo will try to inflate business #valuation even while still at a loss in order to achieve successful absorption of public funds, and after that it doesn't care whether the funds are returned or not. Goal achieved .. EXIT! 😡#dcsi can only be applied to profitable businesses and will limit the total value of its fund absorption to the limit of the assets underlying it. After the funds are absorbed, #dcsi will fight tooth and nail to increase sales speed to accelerate the return of the absorbed capital. EXIT IS NOT AN OPTION!IT IS COWARDICE ACT THAT IS HARAM!!! 😡Note: I’ve already issued a haram fatwa on EXIT. What kind of logic is it after absorbing 14T in funds, why is the company abandoned :(
Here are the points #dcsi to avoid things like this:
1. Say no to valuas*it
No need to give a business a value of billions of dollars if it's still losing money every month. 2. Capitalize the business based on its production capability
The traditional way is profit = (sale - cost) * ownership share. But this method can become gharar/uncertainty, because cost and sale can go up and down. As a result, profit becomes unpredictable. 3. Buy startup products at wholesale price, sell at retail price. Bai’ As-Salam
When a sale occurs, 100% belongs to the investor. The company? Maintain two types of revenue: (1) From investors at wholesale price, use this for operations (2) From customers, 100% belongs to the investor. With this method there is no more gharar as cost and sale fluctuate. What remains is variability in the speed of return because it will depend heavily on sales optimization. 4. Make sure there is backup asset >= investor funds
If the company goes bankrupt, sell assets, send to investors. Use a hybrid asset form among cash, gold, and other productive assets. Make sure all investors can benefit from all productive assets. What are the weaknesses of #dcsi, then?
Flawless. Just try it.
Notes:
The root of all this is the valuation bubble, whose ultimate aim is to be able to IPO. As long as the company still has a goal, any means will be pursued as long as it IPOs; during that time the company won't care about profitability. What matters is investors believe its valuation is such and such, then during that time.. well, that's it, done. Because with an IPO the CEO/Founder's responsibility toward investor pressure is fulfilled. The matter after IPO is that retail investors bear the risk of their investment .. well, up to them. They are protected by law. Even if the company goes bankrupt, no one can be sued.
The essence of #pemodalan #investasi with an #ekonomi #syariah mindset: 👉 Shohibul maal (capital provider) hands over a certain amount of wealth (maal) to the asset manager (Mudharib) to manage. 👉 It is the Mudharib's responsibility to safeguard and grow that wealth, and to ensure no one is wronged according to each party's rights and responsibilities. 👉 After this world is left behind, there will be an audit by the One Who Examines Most Thoroughly. Every piece of wealth will be traced as to its source and where it was used. 👉 The Mudharib must be able to exactly prepare answers to various questions on capital matters. For example, “Why did you dare to raise Rp 14T in capital when you yourself had already intended to EXIT as fast as possible? What about the fate of newbie capital providers who don't understand the nature of the stock market?” I don't know how to answer this question. Want to take shelter behind legality? What if it’s answered, “Do you think the founders of Ad*Kam*, Eas*Cas* and any online lender supervised by #ojk with debt collectors who terrorize customers until some end up bund*r .. can be saved from hisab
What about mine here? You just know it’s riba, right?” Try answering that
For the audit in that phase, I have prepared the following answer: “In 2025, #rwid assets in the form of a Villa (1.5M), Antam gold (325gr) and big bikes (#cbr 250 and #harleydavidson #iron883) total around … Rp 3M. That's why this servant only dares to open capital raising below that figure. So if at that time You decide to bring me home sooner, none of them will be harmed. Besides that, they also have the right to use those assets proportionally. They can retreat at the Villa or ride around Turi + Kaliurang by Jeep. As for motorsport and Harley, no thanks. It’s a hassle if they fall. Right? 😆”
Looks like in that hisab phase I'll be safe. At most the noisy one in this world later will be Tax. But for that my mindset is to prepare 1
Kg Antam gold. So if I really am made trouble for, “There. Just liquidate it.”
Thank you
I'm actually gentle, you know. Just try me at a meetup 😀 But when there's already a phenomenon of people grabbing other people's wealth and not caring about the fate of those whose wealth is being grabbed .. my anger gets really strong. Ugh. The mindset is one: they're just going to die, you know, thinking about piling up assets! It'd kinda make sense if people lived to 1000. But at 50 you already have cholesterol .. why live so long?
Once that anger explodes, my blood can boil. Hot! My body can tremble holding back the anger. My jaw can clamp tight for hours while I design solutions and pour out the execution strategy. In that kind of anger, if I had strong hands, I'd have torn apart a system like that! That very day! And I'd smash it to pieces until anyone who wanted to pick up the fragments would have a hard time. I'm writing this paragraph because of my anger at Bukalapak's IPO. One mindset: if it goes bankrupt, how do you recover from 14T accumulated? Because there are housewives' funds there that don't understand stocks and FOMO because the government supported it to the max???WHAT ABOUT THEIR FATE???? https://lnkd.in/gyBSmtzh
After days of going full throttle, tonight I'm taking a break. The method is simple: come home after Isya, don't go to the 2nd floor (computer room). Go straight in front of the TV, lie down. Done. As a result, I slept like a log until 4 a.m..
This break isn't really mental. Just physically tired. Since January 1, you know! Full until the 6th with no break! If I followed my desire, I'd actually still want to work more. A break like this will be a very high-quality break: waking up with a fresh body and a light head. Just leave at dawn, enjoy the morning air and be khusyu’. Then when I come back I'll be ready to start going full throttle again. My one passion: this #dcsi #rwid system should be able to be scaled in such a way that 100jt capital can get a full return, at most within 2 months returning 140jt. If I can make this happen, I can continue to phase 3: SBBS. Sale Backed Banking System. So, my trilogy of capital economics theory is:
1. GBS - Gold Backed Syirkah: creating a startup whose valuation is based on real assets in the form of gold. It must not be polished with all sorts of pitch decks and presented to VCs to get funded. The VC then polishes it again so it can enter the funding round above it, blowing up the valuation until it's finally judged a Unicorn even though it's still losing billions every month. But it's still publicized massively so people are mesmerized, "
The first Unicon to list on the stock exchange!" and the founder is beaming, "
Successfully raised 21T!". Then at EXIT. Woo.. good grief! If now it's -88% like this and say it goes bankrupt, how is the founder accountable if death comes and he's reckoned by Ar-Rahman:"
You come back here first, even though over there there are still housewives hoping to get profit from your capital gain but their funds have disappeared -88%, from 100jt only 12jt left. What is your accountability?" "
Yeah, high risk high return" "
But why did you EXIT?"".. because I knew it would eventually lose""
Why didn't you tell them all to EXIT?""
Well then I wouldn't be able to EXIT at the maximum number""
That means you really knew they would lose so you EXITed quickly, right?""... yes""
Okay, fine. That's just the reckoning for Rp 1 in your cash. Now Rp 2, from the total Rp 1T you managed to raise."" ... "
So, don't play around with a lot of wealth, okay: not only what it's earmarked for ("I already pay zakat and give charity"), but you must think deeply about its source. And the source of halal wealth is only in Bai' (exchange of goods and services in the real market). Buying and selling. Other than that is riba. I have a strict view on riba...
