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.
Recently, I found out that during my first rectum cancer year (and for others, the first COVID-19 year), the development of RustDesk – which can be self-hosted – started as an open source project on [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – rustdesk/rustdesk: An open-source remote desktop application designed for self-hosting, as an alternative to TeamViewer. with their first commit being [Wayback/Archive] Initial commit · wabarc/wayback@650ea87 · GitHub.
I got pointed to this in [Wayback/Archive] Your Remote Desktop SUCKS!! Try this instead (FREE + Open Source) – YouTube.
One of the main things to figure out is how reliably RustDesk does firewall hole punching*.
Another personal interest is to learn more about Rust and Dart, the main programming languages in which RustDesk is written.
Here are some links:

For a, I wanted to a HTML ul list the SQL keywords in multiple columns I was afraid this would be a tough CSS job, but in practice it was way easier than even explained in the below Stack Overflow answers that made me find
[Wayback/Archive] columns – CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN
The

TL;DR:
<ul style="columns:3">...</ul><ul style="column-count: 2; column-width: 15em;">...</ul><ul style="column-count: 2; width: 480px;">...</ul>Here are the answers:

Important read (5 minutes or so): [Wayback/Archive] Restrict Mutability of State. When it is not necessary to change, it is necessary not to change… | by Kevlin Henney | Feb, 2025 | Medium
Via [WaybackSave/Archive] Kevlin Henney on X: “Blogged: Restrict Mutability of State “What appears at first to be a trivial observation turns out to be a subtly important one: a great many software defects arise from the (incorrect) modification of state.” “

Het overkomt te vaak dat barcodes beschadigd of overplakt zijn (hallo Too Good to Go, hallo “samen minder verspillen” van Jumbo en vergelijkbare acties)
Daarom wat barcodes van producten die je er overheen kunt plakken:

Now that Python 2 has been dead for long enough (has it been unsupported for 5 years? yes it has: [Wayback/Archive] Status of Python Versions), it was finally time to change my alias for running a local web-server to serve files from a directory (:
So, from [Wayback/Archive] What is the Python 3 equivalent of “python -m SimpleHTTPServer” – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] ryanbraganza, [Wayback/Archive] k.avinash and [Wayback/Archive] Petr Viktorin):
python -m http.server 8000, it will start the server on port 8000
Docs with the migration hints: [Wayback/Archive] 20.19. SimpleHTTPServer — Simple HTTP request handler — Python 2.7.18 documentation
