tar eXtactZheVeckingFile

Me trying to decompress a .tar file
-
Joke's on you, .tar isn't compression
-
That's not going to stop me from getting confused every time I try!

You don't need the v, it just means verbose and lists the extracted files.
-
You may not, but I need it. Data anxiety is real.
-
You don't need the z, it auto detects the compression
-
Yeah, I just tell our Linux newbies
tar xf, as in "extract file", and that seems to stick perfectly well. -
That's still kinda new. It didn't always do that.
-
Per https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/, it's been the case since 2004, so for about 19 and a half years...
-
Telling someone that they are Old with saying they are old…

Something something don't cite the old magics something something I was there when it was written...

Right, but you have no way of telling what version of tar that bomb is running

German here and no shit - that is how I remember that since the first time someone made that comment
-
Same. Also German btw 😄
-
Not German but I remember the comment but not the right letters so I would have killed us all.

The Fish shell shows me just the past command with tar
So I don't need to remember strange flags-
I use zsh and love the fish autocomplete so I use this:
https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions
Also have
fzfforctrl + rto fuzzy find previous commands.I believe it comes with oh-my-zsh, just has to be enabled in plugins and itjustworks™
-
-
man tar
you never said I can't run a command before it.
-
without looking, what’s the flag to push over ssh with compression
-
scp
-
not compressed by default
-
-
-
That's yet another great joke that GNU ruined.
