Install Debian in Asus Zenbook 14 UX431FA

Debian version Bullseye

⚠️ using the non-free of Debian because it needs specific firmware for the wifi to be able to connect.

1. Download the next netinst.iso https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/bullseye_di_alpha2/amd64/iso-cd/ or newer.

I'm using the bullseye because it has the latest kernel, and it seems required for this laptop. Also, the link might breake because the alpha2 it's no longer available because Debian Bullseye has already a beta version or it's released as stable distribution. In that case, check the root directory https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/

Fallacy #1. The network is reliable

• Why the pattern Client-Response might cause some troubles?
• What are distributed objects?
• How we can solve this problem?

Fallacy #2. Latency isn't a problem

• How many calls do you do between services before replying a syncronous call to the end user?
• Which pattern is more common in your application? Remote calls or messages?

Using FastAPI as Server Mock

I wanted to start a real mock server with real instances that I could fine tune for my own needs.

I found a way to start the FastAPI to run the tests agains it, and then kill the uvicorn.

Here an example code 👍

Refreshing Auth0 ManagementAPI token before it expires.

The expectation here is that the token expiration is 24h. You can check it in Applications > API > Settings > Token Settings.

What I did is refreshing the token every 12 hours.

In my case, I use Spring Boot 3.
