Comparing two apple Photo by Raquel Martínez on Unsplash

Unsplash and Pixabay are the two free image no royalty, no copyright, image stock platform. You can download many variety of images both on Unsplash and Pixabay. The different between them is no other than how many collection of images they have.

1. Pixabay: 1 million+ Stunning Free Images to Use Anywhere


With no thorough investigations I just search using Google to compare the Pixabay and Unsplash, how many contents they have. And the results is Pixabay has over 2.56 millions (not accurately measured) items and Unsplash for about 2.59 items (again not accurately measured), but it is not that much different. It doesn't always means to be the exact number, maybe they restricted search engine to crawls their contents, maybe they don't care about search engine optimizations at all, so the number i gave is not a guarantee to be exact. I don't know what any other methods to get the numbers of contents.

The features they have on their web platform is not a measurement to differentiate the quality, because platform features can be changed really easy and drastic, they can be additions, removal and improvement sometimes in just short period of time. As for this blog post being posted, Pixabay has really nice feature for us to be able to download the photograph and choose the resolution we desired, I think it's one plus point for Pixabay.

I don't know if they can stay forever serving royalty free services, sometimes some companies just offer free services at  the beginning of their promotion, even PayPal gave the earliest members $10 dollar. It is really effective campaign offering free services to make the platform popular. I don't know if both Pixabay and Unsplash suddenly change their policy, we just need to prepare.

2. Unsplash: Beautiful Free Images & Pictures


Unsplash doesn't even asking you for donations or even have donations button. They just have ads on the bottom of our images. Meanwhile Pixabay have ads and not mandatorily asking for our donations , but they have donations button each times we download the photograph from the site. I think it is nice to just give the donations, not always, at least a small percentage of our profit from their pictures we downloaded and put it on our website, they will very much appreciate it i guess.

As a blogger, I really need a lot of pictures to make my blog looks little bit alive and not boring for the readers visiting my blog, we are glad that the free services like Pixabay and Unsplash exists, I can't be much more grateful for the existence of those platforms. They give us high resolution and ready to download free images, uploaded by their user base. I am so glad and thankful to them.

The Pixabay is localized, they supported many Languages (Čeština, Dansk, Deutsch, English, Español, Français, Indonesia, Italiano, Magyar, Nederlands, Norsk, Polski, Português, Română, Slovenčina, Suomi, Svenska, Türkçe, Việt, ไทย, Български, Русский, Ελληνική, 日本語, 한국어, 简体中文). Meanwhile at this moment Unsplash doesn't localized, only have English language.

Pixabay homepage can be visited at www.pixabay.com and Unsplash at www.unsplash.com. You can download millions of available free contents, especially photos. Videos is usually hard to create, so they don't have that much High quality Videos, yet.

Spring Kafka - how to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

By -

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Kafka is an asynchronous messaging queuing system, but when you have a case in your project that you need to have the result immediately from another service you can do that quite easily. Kafka from the client side produces a message to the server side, then waiting for the server to return back the message exactly what the client wants. It’s identified in the kafka header request named KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID and a topic where the server should send. If the server side produces the same correlation id to the same topic in the request, then the client side will catch that message as its reply. Although you can work with kafka from a different framework and language other than Java and Spring. Here’s in this example i just specifically giving the example of sending and replying kafka messages using Spring Boot. The Project Overview The client-project will send a string message to the server-project over kafka, then the server-project wil

Usually you will need a pair of SSH username and password to connect to a remote server. But there's also another way to connect to the server via SSH but without password, just using a dot pem (example.pem) file. Here's how we usually do on Windows 1. Let’s SSH login using pem to confirm if it’s throwing error or the pem is fine, if error then we need to move to step 2 to fix it: ssh adam@10.0.0.123  -i server-cert.pem And here's the usual error that will throw if your pem file is not ready for SSH login. You need to follow the next step to make your pem certificate ready to login to your server via SSH. 2. Open Windows Explorer, then right-click on the pem file, then select "Properties". Navigate to the "Security" tab, and click "Advanced" 3. Disable inheritance 4. Delete all permissions, so it doesn’t have any permission 5. Now add you as the only only owner.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database.

Flutter Button With Left Align Text and Icon

flutter button left text Developing a flutter UI is very difficult for a beginner or I think any other technology it’s very intimidating for a starter. I remember my first time trying to make a button in Flutter that had left aligned text in it. I spent a lot of time on how to make it but never made it. Once you are getting familiar with flutter widget or component blocks, you can apply whatever style you want for your app. In html you can just do something like <button style=”text-align:left”>Text</button> but in flutter it is a bit tricky. So here I provide an example on how you can align text inside a flutter button to the left. Flutter button with left align text import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp(MyApp()); } class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( title: 'Flutter Demo', theme: ThemeData( primarySwatch: Colors.blue, visualDe
