Hey everyone! In this post I’m gonna walk you through the process of installing Official Linux Nvidia Drivers for the RTX 50 series graphic cards on Debian 13 (Trixie).

Using Serverless Framework with AWS SSO

Mocking EC2 metadata server locally

Some time ago I was working on creating a local docker-based development environment for some microservices at work so developers can have the necessary infra components on their machines and that will help them with their daily tasks. Initially, the business logic of some microservices were a black box to me. After containerizing the applications and creating the docker-compose setup, some of…

What Happens When A Linux Process Goes To Sleep?

It is possible when you are writing code, at some point you might need to pause the execution of a process by calling the sleep(NUMBER_OF_SECONDS) function depending on the problem you are solving.

Basically what I was…

Fun with SSH - Local Port Forwarding

The other day when I went out eating with my friend Francisco, he commented me about a personal project and what he wanted to accomplish. Listening to his questions the first tool that came to my mind that would solve some of the challenges he has was OpenSSH. What is SSH? SSH is a short for Secure Shell, it’s a protocol to manage services inside a network using a secure channel. One of the…

First Post - echo "Hello World"

Hey there, I am Sergio Guillen publishing via Github pages 😄. This blog is a project I will take again and publish content different from my previous blog which was mostly about Microsoft technologies. Since I stopped using those technologies —that I still get impressed with them e.g. C#— I had the good luck to meet new technologies, so I want to share some experiences I had with them or…
