Ask HN: How do you handle private DNS for dev/staging environments?
We have multiple environments like (dev, staging, prod) and I'm tired of managing DNS for internal services. Current options all suck:
Public DNS entries → security risk, clutters real DNS VPN + custom DNS → overkill, IT bottleneck, everyone complains Editing /etc/hosts → doesn't scale, breaks constantly Tailscale → works but costs add up, needs network setup
I want devs to just access api.dev.company.internal without:
Asking IT to configure anything Running a full VPN Manual host file edits Exposing endpoints publicly
Am I missing an obvious solution? How do you handle this at your company?

Show HN: ThinkMoon – AI Trading Assistant Using LLMs for Live Crypto Trading
I built ThinkMoon because I wanted to see if LLMs could actually make money trading crypto, not just talk about it.
It's an AI-powered trading platform where you can connect models from OpenRouter, OpenAI, or Anthropic to real markets and let them execute actual trades on Binance Futures.
How it works: the AI gets real-time market data (candles, order book, ticker), analyzes it, and outputs structured trading decisions. Then it actually executes - long/short positions with leverage up to 40x. Every single decision is logged with the full prompt, the AI's reasoning, and market snapshot at that moment.
What I'm most excited about is that you can create your own trading agents. You write or start from basic strategy prompts, pick your risk parameters, choose which cryptos to trade (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, whatever), and let it run. You can even mix different LLMs and compare how they perform.
I also added Telegram and Slack notifications so you get alerts when trades happen. Plus a dashboard to track everything - live P&L, open positions, the AI's chain of thought.
The risk management side was important to me: stop-loss, take-profit, position limits, and a kill-switch if drawdown gets too high.
Currently working on our own custom LLM fine-tuned specifically for trading decisions. Early results are promising, better consistency than the general models.
Would love to hear what features you'd want in an AI trading assistant. What's missing from tools you've tried?
