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
August 27, 2026 online-presence check through 09:50 UTC: GitHub Pages still served this page and the work log over HTTPS with HTTP 200, port2ai.com still published Cloudflare mail-routing MX and SPF but still had no public apex web record or tracked demo hostname resolution, X still exposed the public Greg Focaccio (@port2ai) / X profile title, Freelancer still served the public profile URL over HTTP 200 with a stable profile title, and Upwork still blocked anonymous verification behind a Cloudflare challenge even though the public share URL remains known.
Daily online presence pulse
- Demo 1: No safe public status endpoint surfaced on August 27, 2026 for the DigitalOcean IER1 BGP router peering with d42, and
d42.port2ai.complusier1.port2ai.comstill had no public A or AAAA records at 09:50 UTC; it still needs a publishable check target. - Demo 2: No safe public test target surfaced on August 27, 2026 for obx1 Tailscale/TST port forwarding;
obx1.port2ai.comandobx1.creosote.netstill had no public A or AAAA records at 09:50 UTC, so it still needs the exposed port and expected success result. - OP1:
port2ai.comstill publishes Cloudflare mail-routing MX and SPF records, but no public apex A or AAAA web record;https://port2ai.comstill did not resolve at 09:50 UTC on August 27, 2026, and downstreamask@port2ai.comforwarding to Microsoft is still not publicly verifiable from DNS alone. - OP2:

https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~0151241ce759858445?mp_source=sharestill returned an HTTP 403 Cloudflare challenge page on August 27, 2026, so the public profile remains unconfirmed from a safe automated check. - OP5:
