I'm moving from Tumblr to Dev.to!

Why?

Markdown support – writing technical posts is much easier

GitHub integration – write and manage articles in Visual Studio Code

To avoid “The terminal is awaiting input” and similar prompts, VS Code needs Terminal Shell Integration enabled and a supported shell.

Required VS Code settings (settings.json):

{ "terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled": true, "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "PowerShell 7", "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": { "PowerShell 7": { "path": "C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe" } } }

After changing this:

Close all terminals

Reload VS Code window

If the message still appears: You are likely using Windows PowerShell 5.1, which has unreliable shell integration.

Fix: install PowerShell 7 (one-time per machine): https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell

or:

winget install Microsoft.PowerShell

Issue: HTTrack sometimes fails to decompress (unzip) downloaded pages on jankoweb, resulting in corrupted binary output instead of HTML.

Observed error: "Error when decompressing" while fetching pages that appear to be gzip-compressed.

Attempted workaround (per forum suggestions): HTTrack → Set Options → Spider → Force HTTP/1.0

Rationale: Forcing HTTP/1.0 disables some server-side compression/transfer behaviors that may trigger decompression failures in HTTrack.

GitHub’s default dashboard is mostly useless — it shows random activity from people you follow, “Top repositories” sorted by some mysterious popularity algorithm, and no clear overview of your own projects.

Free video cutter, very fast (without converting).
