Looks more like a one-way hash to me.

Yeah, well, couldn’t find an image of pillows being squezeed to a singularity.

Luckily, it’s open to interpretation, lol.

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 :)

Cuts them into nice stripes so they fit onto a tape spindle though.

I do NOT understand how zip is still the default. I use .tgz wherever I can.

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.

Lzo or lzma is best for compression. Also depends on the compression rate. KDE Ark is awesome

Compatibility with literally anything under the sun that can decompress a compressed file.

But isn’t that’s given with tgz too?
Except of course Windows iirc

Yep, but Windows is still the majority right now… And i’m sure there are a lot of people out there that don’t have 7zip installed (why doesn’t MS include their own implementation already ?)

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 "" before the link I guess

Test “example/.com”
