Why use this over .7z? I’m legit curious.
Compatibility. Every Linux system comes with tar and gzip
Why use this over .xz? I’m legit curious.
I do NOT understand how zip is still the default. I use .tgz wherever I can.
Compatibility with literally anything under the sun that can decompress a compressed file.
Because of your comment, I did a quick google search and pretty much every source says that .tar.gz is also pretty ancient and not that good (from a compression point of view). For better compression, you can use the xz or 7zip formats. The former is more used on Linux, if that’s what you’re using.
Spotted the Linux user
yourfiles.tar.xz
Looks more like a one-way hash to me.
Reminds me of the “grandma .zip” meme
Yay this is now a URL. If your intention was not to post a URL to some random website not loading anything but javadscript, put a space inside
“Example .com”
Fuck Google
Oops, yeah that was my intention lol. I’ll put some invisible unicode character after the dot, maybe that would do it.
Naw thats grandma.mp3 or grandma.jpg because thats clearly lossy compression not lossless.
tar just wraps, doesn’t compress. so more accurate would be the pillows in a looser bag that doesn’t squish them even a little :)
