I think Joomla is better than Wordpress
Published: 2023-08-31 07:27:37

When I was in school, I learned a little html and CSS, but not Javascript. When I entered the last company, my superior recommended Joomla to me as a website building tool. She made me teach myself.
When I was in school, I envied those classmates who could make websites, but I was addicted to online games, so I didn't study hard. This job gave me the opportunity to learn how to make a website.
So, I started learning from Joomla 1.5. That was a few years ago, and the latest version of Joomla was Joomla 3. Although the version has been updated a lot, the principles are similar.
So, I taught myself Joomla during my off hours. I studied hard, and in a month, I made my first simple website. When I have a problem, I go to Google to check it. Overcome one problem after another. I would like to thank Joomla for allowing me to make a website with only a little html+CSS.
At that time, I made two websites, both using Joomla+Virtuemart. At the time, I thought it was beautiful, but now it looks really ugly. After finishing the website, my leader told me that I need to do SEO next. So, I started to teach myself SEO. Thank you for my leadership, she is really my guide.
At that time, the company hired a professional website building company to build a website. When the website went live, we found out it was made with wordpress. At that time, we felt that the more than 10,000 US dollars was not worth it. However, I have to say that the websites made by professional website construction companies are really beautiful.
Then, I started to do SEO for these 3 websites. I taught myself SEO on my way to work. After doing it for a few months, it is unbelievable that the rankings of these three websites actually occupy the top three search terms in Google. Flow is also good. Later, the wordpress website took over a large customer and placed a large order of several million dollars.
Then, I started to learn how to use wordpress to make a website. WordPress is really easy to make a website. In about a week, I made my first wordpress website. You know, it takes me about a month to make a Joomla website.
Seeing this, you may not know why I recommend Joomla more than wordpress. This is because of SEO. Including the first website built by a professional company, and later I built a website with wordpess. Doing SEO well is hard. The main reason is that Google doesn't like to include wordpress websites. And the pages of the Joomla website are included very quickly.
I recently built a Joomla website-[lumber tarps manufacturer](https://www.tarps.top/custom-tarps/flatbed-truck-tarp/lumber-tarps.html), which has been online for about a month, and it has been included and ranked by SEMrush. And wordpress needs to be included and ranked, and it will take a few months at the fastest, or even a year.
🧐 A quick productivity tip: help by context
Tags: productivity, beginners, focus, tips
Published: 2023-08-31 07:24:52

Yesterday I wanted to be more social and came to read a book in living room, where others were watching football. Not the best idea, huh?
As I'm myself interested in football, it continued stealing my attention. Up until I realized that my progress with the book is embarrassingly slow.🤦‍♂️📖

I tried to gather more willpower and concentrate more. But still short glances at the football match persisted.👀

Then I decided to get some help from the environment/context. The best would've been to simply leave the room. But I wanted to be social, you know.

So I sad down my back facing the TV. Now if I wanted to take a "glance", I'd have to turn half of my body. So much effort... Problem solved!💪📺

Summary:
1. Identify the problem: TV grabs my attention
2. Why is this happening (why is it easy to do so): because it's effortless to move my eyes between the book and TV
3. How to use context to Your advantage: make it hard to do something You don't want and easy what You want. This could be sitting back to TV, sitting behind a corner, etc.

Just as an actor can't rely solely on inspiration, one can't bank solely on willpower.
Technique is what always works.
Less effort, no frustration, getting stuff done.🚀🎯
FIX "ReferenceError: __dirname is not defined in ES module scope" in NodeJs.
Tags: node, javascript, backenddevelopment, webdev
Published: 2023-08-31 07:10:16

'__dirname' is used to get the directory name of the currently executing module's file. 
Let's first try to understand why this error is flagged. This error occurs because __dirname is not available as a global variable in ES6 (ECMAScript 2015) module scope. In ES6 modules, the global scope is encapsulated, and certain variables that were available in CommonJS modules (like __dirname and __filename) are not automatically available in ES6 modules. Remember that there are two types of module systems, CommonJS and ES6 module systems.
To Fix this Error, we can use the following alternative method: 
                                    
          import { dirname } from 'path';
          import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';

          const __filename =fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
          const __dirname = dirname(__filename);


By following this approach, you can access the equivalent of __dirname in ES6 modules without encountering the "ReferenceError".

Giao tiếp trong kiến trúc microservice
Tags: microservices
Published: 2023-08-31 06:30:37

Trong kiến trúc microservice, các microservice giao tiếp với nhau thông qua các API. Có nhiều chuẩn giao tiếp API khác nhau có thể được sử dụng cho microservice, bao gồm:

- REST (Representational State Transfer): REST là một kiến trúc giao tiếp API dựa trên HTTP. REST sử dụng các phương thức HTTP để thực hiện các yêu cầu đối với các microservice, chẳng hạn như GET, POST, PUT và DELETE. REST là một chuẩn giao tiếp API phổ biến và được sử dụng rộng rãi trong các ứng dụng web.

- gRPC (Google Remote Procedure Calls): gRPC là một giao thức RPC dựa trên HTTP/2. gRPC sử dụng các bản tin nhị phân để truyền dữ liệu, giúp nó hiệu quả hơn so với REST. gRPC cũng hỗ trợ nhiều tính năng nâng cao, chẳng hạn như xác thực, bảo mật và quản lý trạng thái.

- AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol): AMQP là một giao thức nhắn tin được sử dụng để giao tiếp giữa các ứng dụng. AMQP sử dụng các hộp thư để lưu trữ các tin nhắn giữa các ứng dụng, giúp nó linh hoạt hơn so với REST và gRPC.

**Lựa chọn chuẩn giao tiếp API nào sẽ phụ thuộc vào các yếu tố sau:**

- Yêu cầu hiệu suất: REST có thể không hiệu quả cho các ứng dụng cần hiệu suất cao. gRPC và AMQP có thể hiệu quả hơn cho các ứng dụng này.
- Yêu cầu tính năng: REST là một chuẩn giao tiếp API đơn giản và dễ triển khai. gRPC và AMQP cung cấp nhiều tính năng nâng cao, chẳng hạn như xác thực, bảo mật và quản lý trạng thái.
- Yêu cầu khả năng mở rộng: AMQP có thể mở rộng hơn so với REST và gRPC.

**Dưới đây là một số ví dụ về cách các chuẩn giao tiếp API khác nhau có thể được sử dụng trong kiến trúc microservice:**

- Một ứng dụng web có thể sử dụng REST để giao tiếp với một microservice lưu trữ dữ liệu.
- Một microservice có thể sử dụng gRPC để giao tiếp với một microservice khác để xử lý một tác vụ phức tạp.
- Một microservice có thể sử dụng AMQP để giao tiếp với một microservice khác để gửi thông báo cho người dùng.

Nhìn chung, việc lựa chọn chuẩn giao tiếp API nào cho microservice sẽ phụ thuộc vào các yêu cầu cụ thể của ứng dụng.

"Containerize Your Node.js App: A Beginner's Guide to Creating Docker Images"
Tags: node, docker, devops, automation
Published: 2023-08-31 06:09:11

Creating a Docker image for a Node.js app running on localhost involves several steps. Docker allows you to package your application and its dependencies into a portable container. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. **Install Docker:**
   If you haven't already, install Docker on your machine. You can download it from the official Docker website: https://www.docker.com/get-started

2. **Prepare Your Node.js App:**
   Make sure your Node.js application is working correctly on your localhost. Create a directory for your Docker configuration and files.

3. **Create a Dockerfile:**
   Create a file named `Dockerfile` (no file extension) in your application directory. The Dockerfile contains instructions for building your Docker image.

   ```Dockerfile
   # Use an official Node.js runtime as the base image
   FROM node:16

   # Set the working directory in the container
   WORKDIR /usr/src/app

   # Copy package.json and package-lock.json to the container
   COPY package*.json ./

   # Install app dependencies
   RUN npm install

   # Copy the rest of the application files to the container
   COPY . .

   # Expose the port that the app will run on
   EXPOSE 3000

   # Command to start the application
   CMD ["node", "app.js"]
   ```

   Replace `"app.js"` with the main file of your Node.js app if it has a different name.

4. **Build the Docker Image:**
   Open a terminal in your application directory and run the following command to build the Docker image. Replace `"my-node-app"` with a suitable name for your image and `"1.0"` with a version tag:

   ```bash
   docker build -t my-node-app:1.0 .
   ```

   The `.` at the end specifies the build context (current directory).

5. **Run the Docker Container:**
   After building the image, you can run a container based on that image. Use the following command:

   ```bash
   docker run -p 3000:3000 -d my-node-app:1.0
   ```

   This maps port 3000 from the container to port 3000 on your localhost. The `-d` flag runs the container in detached mode.

6. **Access Your App:**
   You can access your Node.js app by opening a web browser and navigating to `http://localhost:3000`.

Remember that Docker containers are isolated environments. The dependencies installed within the container might differ from your local environment. Additionally, this guide provides a basic setup; you might need to adjust it based on your app's specific requirements.

Finally, to stop and remove a running container, you can use the following command:

```bash
docker stop <container_id>
```

Replace `<container_id>` with the actual ID of the running container, which you can get using `docker ps`.
What are the advantages of air-cooled spindles?

Bash script that automating the process of updating a configuration file based on environment variables
Tags: linux, bash, devops
Published: 2023-08-31 05:59:48

Certainly! Let's write a straightforward Bash script to show how changing a configuration file based on environment variables can be automated. 

For the purposes of this illustration, let's imagine you have a configuration file called app_config.conf that needs to be changed with various settings based on the environment (development, testing, production).

Assume you have a configuration file named app_config.conf with the following content:

- 
app_config.conf

```
API_URL=
DB_HOST=
```

```
#!/bin/bash
config_file="app_config.conf"

if [ $# -ne 3 ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 <environment> <api_url> <db_host>"
    exit 1
fi

ENVIRONMENT="$1"
api_url="$2"
db_host="$3"

echo "API_URL=$api_url" > "$config_file"
echo "DB_HOST=$db_host" >> "$config_file"

echo "Configuration updated for $ENVIRONMENT environment."

```

**How Do I Use This Script?**
1. Make it executable: 

```
chmod +x update_config.sh
```
2. Run the script: 

```
./update_config.sh development http://dev.api.example.com dev-db.example.com
```
