This is the early 21st century. Social media nowadays is like a basic need for the majority of people on this planet. With the help of our fast processing device called smartphone, social media now has made people using it kind of out of control.

Social media is not to be blamed for making people addicted to it, because it’s fun to use it. Especially when we don’t have anything to do, we only have a smartphone in our hand, social media is like a friend when we don’t have any friends to talk to.

Of course there's a lot of options, lots of apps we can use, games, but sometimes other apps are just too boring. Social media is like watching our friends or someone far away we don’t know, what were they doing, even though they are not present, we feel like we are connected to them. Social media is winning in the smartphone apps world, because we don’t want to be alone, even if it's not perfected yet, current platforms like Facebook are still helping them to connect.

Sharing their photos or short videos is a feature that most people enjoy today. An online album of photos kind of type is what most people like about Instagram. Now Instagram is an addictive social media, it really is probably the most widely used social media today. Many people that are aware of productivity and trying to be less dependent on smartphones have been trying to quit not just Instagram, but also other social media they’ve used, but can’t because they are too fun to forget.

Sharing pictures of our moment in life, making an online album, changing from traditional paper album, that what makes Instagram so special, you can do that on some social media that came before like Facebook or twitter, but the way the simplicity of Instagram to just share photos without many text make many people get attracted into it. When you share your thoughts you can use twitter, share activities to friends, Facebook, share photos, save albums, use Instagram.

Facebook and Twitter still are one of the widely used social media platforms, then coming tons of new rivals, and the pie is getting thinner and thinner, many social media platforms coming like Instagram and TikTok replacing the older not innovative enough to compete in the business, it’s a business of billions of dollar annually, and the number getting bigger and bigger.

The simplicity of Instagram is what attracted many people. Social media is too many, people are too lazy to use many of them with menus, buttons, texts all over the places in the app, it is a different story for Instagram, they don’t put, it makes it easy to use, people finally get addicted to it.

Millions of people are active in this huge social media network, imagine that, posting photos, short videos, comments, liking someone's photos, all those processes happen in  mere seconds.

This is the era of war of Social media platforms trying to convince users which one is the best and which one should be abandoned.

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. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234.

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

Create the skeleton Spring project Create a new project, go to start.spring.io , on the dependencies section, add Spring Reactive Web. Generate and extract it into your desired project location. Instead of using spring-boot-starter-web, use spring-boot-starter-webflux instead in your pom.xml. Here’s the pom.xml for our Reactive Rest API project. Create our Rest controller Now that you have set to use WebFlux instead of the usual web, we have to change a little bit in the Controller class that handles the API endpoints. It doesn’t change much but you have to wrap the Response in Mono and the request parameter to FilePart. So our upload and download file controller will look like this. Create utility to handle file upload We need to structure our project better, so we cr
