Codex in a disposable workspace on my Mac
I’m preparing a throwaway virtual machine where Codex can work without routine approval prompts while my Mac’s personal files, credentials, and local network stay outside.
Most projects start with a PC, a Raspberry Pi, or another piece of hardware I already own. Codex often helps me write and debug the code. Sometimes a local model runs in the result. I write down what worked and what is still unfinished.

I add photos to one folder on my Windows PC. A Raspberry Pi shows them on the TV without uploading the collection to a cloud photo album.
I built the Windows half of a voice assistant with local speech and language models. It works on the PC; I have not connected the spare phone yet.
