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.

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.

Spring Boot is a handy tool that simplifies the development of Spring Framework applications by reducing the need for cumbersome configuration. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE. While you can certainly create a Spring Boot application in Netbeans manually, it's much easier with a plugin designed for Spring development. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 1. Install the Spring Boot Plugin: Open Netbeans and navigate to the Tools menu. Click on "Plugins." Once the Plugins window opens, select the "Available Plugins" tab.

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl...
