I'm a self-employed developer since 2004. I have been working professionally since 2000. My first contact with computers was the C64 at the age of 11 where I coded in machine code and assembler. I worked with PHP professionally for 11 years, nowadays I prefer Angular, Go and Flutter, but I'm open minded. However I would dislike taking a step back to PHP. My services are for hire I'm also looking for remote employment.

Using Logitech G915 X G-Keys (Macro keys) on Linux (Cinnamon)

I’m running arch linux with the Cinnamon Desktop Environment.
I have recently bought a Logitech G915 X keyboard and I’m missing the macro key to launch the gnome-terminal program.

Lucky Cinnamon has custom shortcuts.

Go to System Settings.
Keyboard.
Shortcuts.
There are 2 options for you.
1. Launchers
Under Launchers, there’s “Launch terminal” and you just assign the G key to that action.
2. Custom Shortcuts
Under Custom Shortcuts you have to define a custom shortcut, providing the path to the binary.

A short list of graphql relay style backends or libraries

I asked in the graphql discord server channel, what people used to build their graphql relay style backends.
Here I’ll list the responses.

Language: Go
Toolkit: gqlgen with ent and entgql extension

I made a starter package one can clone and adapt. It uses openid-connect for authentication and postgresql as the data storage. It can also use sqlite in-memory for development purposes.

Another member of the graphql discord server created a starter package with Prisma, Pothos and Better Auth.
