Like when you send a .7z instead of a .zip or .rar to a friend or a teacher because that’s what your computer has installed and they’re like “Oh No, not one of those, now I have to install 7Zip” even though the same program that opens .rar also opens .7z I feel like people are way more annoyed when they receive a .7z
no, I’m civilized. I use .tar.zstd
I love sending this to my windows friends

use 7zip zstd!
Cool kids use .tar.xz
whats so good about those
A few features of how tar archives work:
Fun examples of how this can all come together:
In practice, you double click your .tar.gz and it opens in your preferred archiver and it’s no different than a zip file.
It is rather useful to be able to do all of that on the fly though, especially when you’re shipping GBs and you may not have enough space to store both the original files and the archive you’re creating.
Awesome thanks for the all this info!
you can pipe a shell command directly into the archive. they’re also a standard archive format understood by most computers on earth.
or maybe this was a joke reply.
Use .arc for old time’s sake.
Hmmm I’m more of a File.zip.tar.gz.epub.7z.xs guy
