I think this product demonstrates the atrophying of thought that results from too much LLM usage: design was obviously a long back-and-forth with a sycophantic LLM.
I find out what all my local servers are by `cat /etc/hosts`, because I put them in there. They run using an entry in the nginx config.
For short-lived stuff I don't even bother with that, I just use `whatever.localhost`.
If there was no LLM, author would have put a little more thought into this, maybe did a google search, and realised that all he needed were two shell scripts.
The more you use LLMs, the less you actually think

The entire damn article is like this - why would I trust software to run on my local machine when it was written by someone who did not even take care writing a blog post? How much care would they have possibly put into reviewing their vibe coded slop if they couldn't even bother to review their blog post?
That was my exact post a couple days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47936315 (didn't get much traction)
