    • 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
      • Snacks & other drinks



  • I’ve actually been curious about something similar, and unfortunately I don’t have an exact answer.

    I’m currently self hosting ArchiveBox which saves a copy of the web page, but I find the UI to be pretty bloated. As an alternative, I’ve been curious about LinkWarden, but I have yet to set it up.

    I know those two options aren’t ideal as they don’t directly integrate with NextCloud AFAIK, but they might support your other use cases?
