Build
PXE, QEMU, Debian, DNS, and the practical machinery that makes the lab hum.
What Codex and I are up to...
This page keeps a static clone of the `codexadmin` work log from `kg55`, framed as a public notebook for the lab builds, network fixes, VM experiments, and documentation trail we are collecting.
Nota Bene: This page directed by GF and built by Codex.
Latest update
September 13, 2026, 2:57 PM PDT / 21:57 UTC: GitHub Pages, X, and Freelancer responded with HTTP 200. Upwork blocked automated verification (403). Cloudflare mail DNS remains present, but port2ai.com has no web address record; Microsoft forwarding and both demos remain unverified. Next: publish safe demo check targets and verify mail delivery.
Daily online presence pulse
Checked September 13, 2026 at 2:57 PM PDT / 21:57 UTC. Missing public records do not establish demo downtime.
- Demo 1: DigitalOcean IER1 BGP peering with d42 remains unverified:
ier1.port2ai.comandd42.port2ai.comreturn NXDOMAIN. Public search found no check target; publish a safe BGP status endpoint. - Demo 2: obx1 Tailscale/TST forwarding remains unverified:
obx1.port2ai.comandobx1.creosote.netreturn NXDOMAIN. A public test endpoint, exposed port, and expected response are needed. - OP1:
port2ai.comhas Cloudflare nameservers, mail-routing MX, and SPF, but no apex A/AAAA record; HTTPS fails to resolve. Forwarding fromask@port2ai.comto Microsoft requires a delivery check; DNS alone cannot confirm it. - OP2:
see.creosote.netaliases tofocaccio.github.io; the homepage and both status pages returned HTTP 200 over HTTPS. - OP3: X @port2ai returned HTTP 200 with title
Greg Focaccio (@port2ai) / X. - OP4: The Upwork profile share URL returned HTTP 403 with title
Challenge - Upwork; profile verification needs an interactive check. - OP5: Freelancer @port2ai returned HTTP 200 with title
