AI & ML interests
An independent Jordanian organization focused on privacy, modularity, and local-first systems ā spanning technology, real estate, and residential development.
āļø Arkan's Infrastructure Operations Labs
"Infrastructure for a self-sustaining digital community, built on privacy, open source, and resilience."
What is AIOL?
AIOL is not a single project ā it is an umbrella for a set of interconnected initiatives by Arkan Fakoseh (@2kfi), a 17-year-old developer from Al-Karak, Jordan.
The vision is simple but ambitious: build technology and physical infrastructure that gives people real ownership of their digital and physical lives ā locally hosted, privacy-first, resilient even when the internet goes down, and affordable enough to be used by real families in Jordan and beyond.
Projects
š§ Mada Linux ā Ł ŲÆŁ ŁŁŁŁŲ³
An Arch Linux-based distribution designed to make Linux accessible to Arabic-speaking users and anyone transitioning from Windows.
Five flavours:
KDEā Full-featured desktop for power usersGNOMEā Clean and modernHyprlandā Tiling WM for minimalistsCinnamonā Familiar feel for Windows switchersBaseā Bare-bones for those who know what they're doing
Key goals:
- Best-in-class Arabic language support (fonts, RTL, input methods)
- Easy out-of-the-box experience ā no terminal required for everyday use
- Built on Arch's rolling release model for up-to-date software
š©ŗ Hakeem ā ŲŁŁŁ
A local-first AI health system in two editions:
Hakeem Home
A personal health and wellness AI assistant for everyday users.
- Tracks health metrics, habits, and wellbeing
- Web UI for easy access from any device on your local network
- Integrates with Home Assistant for smart home health automation
- Runs entirely on your own hardware ā no cloud, no subscriptions
Hakeem Enterprise
A clinical-grade AI system built for healthcare professionals in Jordan and the region.
- Assists doctors, pharmacists, and medical students in diagnosing and treating patients
- Specialized in rare disease identification
- Integrates with Jordan's Ministry of Health Hakeem database for verified patient records
- Ships with an approved medical knowledge base
- Designed to run air-gapped in hospitals and clinics
Core principle: Local first. Works in a blackout. Works without the internet. Works when it matters most.
ā Najim ā ŁŲ¬Ł
Your private, local AI assistant for the home ā and eventually the main AI brain of the AIOL ecosystem.
Think: Alexa or Google Home, but you own it completely.
- Runs 100% locally on affordable hardware (target: ~$20 one-time setup cost beyond hardware)
- Privacy-first by design ā no data ever leaves your home
- Thin client apps for all operating systems
- Integrates deeply with Home Assistant
- Helps you manage your digital life: calendar, reminders, home automation, knowledge base
- Free forever after first setup ā no recurring fees, no subscriptions
Najm may eventually evolve into the unified AI layer powering both Hakeem Home and the AIOL neighborhood infrastructure.

šļø AIOL Neighborhood ā ŲŁ Ų£Ł Ų¢Ł Ų£Ł Ų„Ł
The most ambitious project of all: a real, physical neighborhood in Al-Karak, Jordan.
The Land
200 dunums (about 50 acres or 20000 square meters) of land, with 60 dunums dedicated to shared infrastructure:
- Underground electrical cables
- Underground water pipes and sewage systems
- Underground fiber optic internet backbone
This is infrastructure that simply doesn't exist in most of Al-Karak today ā built right, built to last.
The Community
- Selective residency ā only vetted, approved residents
- Every home has its own small farm for food self-sufficiency
- Shared community services and common spaces
- Intentional, close-knit community design
The Network
- Affordable internet: target 22 JD/month for 500 Mbps (vs. the current ~30 JD market rate)
- Optional extra services bundle for 2 JD/month
- Neighborhood-wide local network with full AIOL AI and services stack
- Fully air-gappable ā the entire network can be disconnected from the internet and the community continues to function normally
The Philosophy
This isn't a smart city. It's a resilient community ā one that could survive World War 3 as long as the electricity is on.
Utilities & Tools
š¦ pacman-local-mirror
A lightweight local repository manager for Arch Linux. Perfect for air-gapped setups or slow connections.
