hw-configure: use hostname specified in the nixos configuration

 Generate the `hardware-configuration.nix` file for your machine by executing the following command:
 
 ```bash
-clan machines hw-generate [MACHINE_NAME] [HOSTNAME]
+clan machines hw-generate [MACHINE_NAME]
 ```
 
 replace `[MACHINE_NAME]` with the name of the machine i.e. `jon` and `[HOSTNAME]` with the `ip_adress` or `hostname` of the machine within the network. i.e. `<IP>`
 
 !!! Example
     ```bash
-    clan machines hw-generate jon <IP>
+    clan machines hw-generate jon
     ```
 
-    This command connects to `<IP>` as `root`, runs `nixos-generate-config` to detect hardware configurations (excluding filesystems), and writes them to `machines/jon/hardware-configuration.nix`.
+    This command connects to the ip configured in the previous step, runs `nixos-generate-config` to detect hardware configurations (excluding filesystems), and writes them to `machines/jon/hardware-configuration.nix`.
