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.
I have a few Linux servers at home that I regularly remote into in order to manage, usually logged into KDE Plasma as root. Usually they just have several command line windows and a file manager open (I personally just find it more convenient to use the command line from a remote desktop instead of directly SSH-ing into the...
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.
I started my save within an hour of the expedition going live. And spawned in a storm, with multiple hostile critters. I died twice in two minutes, deleted the cursed save, and tried again. Did better, but fell into a cave system killing critters (with a mining laser), and got lost… before I could build the Terrain...
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.
That’s my assumption as well. That dropdown is always really annoying to scroll, so this is a welcome change. I often place my job gauge behind the crossbar hitbox, where it can’t be selected otherwise with a mouse cursor, so I have to use the dropdown menu surprisingly often, especially since the client will forget job gauge layouts past a certain number of recently played jobs.
Is there a place to watch lemmy user numbers in real time? interested to see if there’s a spike as users try out something else with their new free time.
5-6 months from 6.55 to 7.0 sounds about right. Good time to finish up Eureka and Shared FATEs. Maybe even that Resistance Weapon I keep putting off doing.
It seems like they’re trying some graphical upgrades which will change the game requirements on PC. Is that person shown in the picture a new playable race or no? Also the game was announced for Xbox consoles, too - expect many people to join for the first time.
As I understand it, they previously said they’re not adding any more playable races after the massive amount of work that the Viera and Hrothgar took. They’re adding Hrothgals at some point to go along with the bunboys, and then they’re done.
Hi everyone. New to the fediverse and Lemmy, like many others have said I’m more determined to get involved and to talk and contribute here. I don’t know why exactly. It just feels more authentic....
Manny Coto and others involved in the production of Enterprise have mentioned that they planned to make Shran a member of the bridge crew in season five. Their motives are pretty obvious: Make a popular guest star (and the excellent actor who played him) as involved as possible. In Coto’s own words, “get Jeffrey [Combs]...
In Shran’s penultimate appearance (The Aenar), the ship he’s commanding is destroyed, and he states he’s probably not going to be given command of another one any time soon. I assume this was meant to lead to him winding up on the Enterprise in season 5 if the events in the finale hadn’t happened instead.

Alerts for expeditions?
I tend to not hear about expeditions until it’s too late… does anyone know of a way to get email or push notifications for upcoming expeditions?

I’ve been using Linux Mint since forever. I’ve never felt a reason to change. But I’m interested in what persuaded others to move.

Why would Shran have been willing to serve aboard the NX-01 if Enterprise had been given a fifth season?
