They don't advertise it at all, but the official website has an atom feed at https://www.nomanssky.com/feed/ which you can subscribe to from an rss reader/news reader. Recent entries include expedition announcements and bugfixes.

As a general best practice, you should never directly login as root on any server, and those servers should be configured to not allow remote connections as the root user. You should always log in as a non-root user and only run commands as root using sudo or similar features offered by your desktop environment. You should be wary of even having an interactive root shell open; usually I would only do so on a VM console, when first setting up a system or debugging it.

By doing this, you not only guard against other people compromising your system, but also against accidentally running commands as root that could damage your system. It’s always best to only run things with the minimum permissions they need, and then only grant them additional permissions on an as-needed basis.

NixOS. If I’m going to invest that much effort to configure a system I don’t want to have to put up with systemd.

Had a couple of decent runs so far! It’s definitely one of those expeditions where it’s better to do objectives out of order.

When you use a signal booster or a waypoint, it’ll do a zoom out animation, and that’s a good time to watch for nearby water. The glowing crystals you mine from floating minerals and buried mineral formations also have a chance to drop crystal sulphide. Apparently you can also select armoured clams from the guide and get a fix on one, but I’ve never tried that one myself.

Also, as soon as you get base building supplies, consider investing 10 salvaged technology on a Nutrition Processor. You can make critter pellets for just 1 carbon each and distract the hostile creatures.

This sounds neat but the thing I always get hung up on is HubCoin. I don’t want to support cryptocurrency in any form, regardless of whether or not it can be exchanged for real money.

It still has the limitations of JSON churn, but I find jsonnet to be a nice functional-style DSL in which to write grafana dashboards.
