On my list of tools to check out RustDesk (as replacement for TeamViewer, Remote Desktop and similar)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/06/05

For non-Windows systems, I have used TeamViewer in the past and when they started being obnoxious reverted mostly to VNC derived alternatives. For Windows, I’d usually combined VPN with Remote Desktop.

[Wayback/Archive] columns – CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN

The columns [Wayback/Archive] CSS shorthand property sets the number of columns to use when drawing an element’s contents, as well as those columns’ widths.

TL;DR:

  • I used <ul style="columns:3">...</ul>
  • For setting column width, this failed in Chrome <ul style="column-count: 2; column-width: 15em;">...</ul>
    but this worked: <ul style="column-count: 2; width: 480px;">...</ul>

Here are the answers:
