- Check all the fluids in your car, and change em / top em up if it’s been a while.
- Pack an emergency car kit. I’m sure there are loads of recommendations online, but I usually have:
- Flashlight
- Battery bank + charging cable for phone
- Spare tire and wrenches (if you’ve got a charged phone, you could instead call for a tow if needed)
- Blanket (it can get surprisingly cold at night, even in the summer)
- Spare oil / coolant (water works as well for coolant in a pinch)
- For misc stuff I like to bring on trips:
- A pack of water. If there’s long stretches with no towns, water is always nice
- Sunglasses
- If you’re going to play stuff off your phone, I’d recommend downloading music and a variety of podcasts to go. Don’t just download 10 episodes from the same channel; mix it up. And mix up the genre too. I usually will have a mix of world news, tech news, stories, and self improvement stuff

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Ahoy, what's the most unhinged wierd shower curtain I can put in a shower.English
4·1 year agoA shower curtain of a very important, and well known document from your country such as the Charter of Rights and Freedoms from Canada, or Declaration of Independence from the US. If you live in a country that still recognizes the British monarch, you could also put up a photo of the king (very common in government and military buildings)

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Updated] Installed New SSD, Stuck Like This While Reimagining -WorkingEnglish
3·1 year agoIt looks like an issue with the file system. I don’t have a steam deck, but are you able to make sure the ssd is seated correctly? Are you able to try inserting a different one?
Not a GUI, but I keep my
~/.ssh/configclean by splitting my configs into folders, and including them in the main ~/.ssh/config.I have the folder,
~/.ssh/config.d/, and here’s what it looks like:~/.ssh/config.d . ├── work │ ├── dev.config │ ├── staging.config │ └── prod.config └── server ├── development.config ├── containers.config ├── home.config ├── pis.config └── server.configThen my
~/.ssh/configlooks like this:Include config.d/work/* Include config.d/server/* Include config.d/other/*

Linux@lemmy.ml•Cheap Portable USB Touch Monitors - any experiences?English
4·1 year agoI’ve used a non-touch DisplayLink USB monitor before. You might run into issues with getting it to work properly based on your OS. DisplayLink and Debian were not friends, and took a lot of messing around with drivers and other apps to get it to work. I can’t speak for other OSs though

Canada@lemmy.ca•For those that have crossed the US / Canadian border recently: What was your experience like when dealing with US customs?English
7·1 year agoI’m concerned about going to the US for the same reasons why I’m concerned about family coming to Canada: dealing with US customs.
However, they’re US citizens so I can’t imagine that they’d have paperwork to go back to the US. Then without paperwork to make mistakes on, they should be less likely to get incarcerated, right?
