  • How is the OSX and iOS support for Keepass nowadays? Are there desktop and browser clients for OSX, and what’s the autofill situation like?

    Keepass was the first password manager I used and I really liked it, but I had to switch when I started using Apple devices for work a few years back, and the lack of platform support there was a nonstarter.


  • Yep! I like to find them myself, which is usually straightforward enough, but there are a couple of tricky ones (e.g. in caves or other odd nooks) that I resorted to looking up online, so that’s always an option too.

    As long as you have the class active, hunting log targets will have an icon above them that looks like concentric crescents, or a bullseye with an divot in it.


  • Looks like you’ve already gotten a lot of good info on potential perks of leveling another class, so I won’t add anything there.

    If you do choose to level another class, I’d suggest doing the Hunting Logs for it! This is the fastest way to get early experience to get classes up to the level where you can start doing daily roulettes. These are available for all base-game classes and can be found under the “Logs” menu.



  • If you want to watch more ToS, you can similarly cherry-pick your watch list there, as there are some stand-out episodes. I’d definitely recommend at least watching The Menagerie for context before SNW (or Captain Pike’s appearance in Discovery).

    DS9 is some of the very best of Trek, but you’re going to want to actually watch it through; it’s got much larger story arcs and character development than ToS, TNG, and Voyager. It takes a couple of seasons to really pick up, but is well worth it. If you’re not ready to sit through that many subsequent episodes yet, you can wait until you have a better feel for the series. But don’t sleep on this one, it’s fantastic.

    Those are my highlights for earlier Trek, but you can’t really go wrong as long as you’re enjoying what you’re watching!


  • TNG is, imo, the gold standard and an excellent starting point if you’re not looking to jump straight into Strange New Worlds. Its episodes are generally pretty self-contained, so you won’t be punished terribly for jumping around if you’re just looking to get a taste, and will still be able to enjoy the great episodes it has to offer, but you will get more context the more episodes you’re willing to watch.

    Plenty of folks have compiled lists of which episodes are skippable vs worth watching, and there’s pretty universal agreement on which are iconic must-watch episodes, so there’s nothing wrong with following one of those for a first watch. Here’s an example. I’d recommend using the list at the bottom of that page (or another rated list) as a guide, and experiment a bit to figure out a good baseline for how low of a rating is acceptable and how many episodes you can tolerate in your first watch through.

    Note that season 1 is widely regarded as the weakest, where the show is trying to emulate ToS and hasn’t yet come into its own, and you can skip episodes more liberally here, or even come back to it later.
