Installing Nvidia Drivers for RTX 50 series on Debian 13 Trixie

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). Some issues I found and other scenarios to consider such as OS upgrades. Something I love when using GNU/Linux is that there are multiple ways to solve a problem. And sometimes it will depend on the hardware you are using, architecture, desktop environment, etc, etc. ...

Booting Raspberry Pi 3 Model B from SSD

Hey everyone! In this post I’m going to share my experience of USB booting the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B from an SSD. Although it is something I did almost one year ago, I wanted to share it… sorry for the 1 year delay xD! Probably there might be something I missed on my solution, so any feedback is really appreciated! Before the pandemic started, a friend of mine sold me 4 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and one Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. I used them for an electronics + home automation project I no longer need anymore, so I decided to repurpose them to something new, a new project I started working on for which I will make another blog entry. ...

Nuke'em all! Using AWS Nuke to clean your AWS accounts

Introducing AWS Nuke! In this post I will give you a quick introduction to AWS Nuke, a tool developed in Golang that aims to delete all resources in an AWS account. This tool helped me a lot. Use Cases Cleaning Free Tier AWS Account This was a personal use-case, I created a free tier AWS Account some months ago and I’ve been using it for different purposes, some of the resources I created were via Terraform which made it simpler to delete the resources I created after using them, on the other hand, I created other resources manually without tracking them, some of them were costing me money!. So I prefered to delete everything in this account as I use it for learning purposes only. AWS Nuke is a great fit for this task. ...

Using Serverless Framework with AWS SSO

In this post, I will present a solution (one I personally find quite tidy) to a problem I encountered with AWS SSO and the Serverless Framework. Serverless Framework is one of my favorite tools when I need to work with AWS Lambda and other serverless services, it is an alternative to AWS SAM, but personally, I prefer Serverless Framework due to its support for various cloud providers and plugins. Previously, I had used Serverless to access AWS API by configuring my ~/.aws/credentials file. However this time I was using AWS Single Sign-On to access AWS API from my local computer. Unfortunately, when I wanted to deploy some Lambda functions using the sls CLI, I was not able to do it, it shows a message saying the AWS profile I was using was not configured, even I logged in successfully a couple minutes ago. ...

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 them started failing and after checking the logs it turns out that the applications were using AWS SDK to get ec2 instance metadata. ...
