yourfiles.tar.xz
Looks more like a one-way hash to me.
This is a one-way hash.

Why use this over .7z? I’m legit curious.

Best explanation of tar/tar.gz that I have seen
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
Nono, z-standard is where it’s at
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 iircYep, 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 ?)
And this is the problem imo. If you NEVER change a thing you will never improve
Good luck teaching that to people who only use a computer to browse Facebook.
Not saying it’s impossible, but it takes time
Do these even need zips?
Windows, Android, iOS do not open them by default.
You can do it on iOS using Siri Shortcuts.
I don’t get how they add all these formats to Shortcuts but only Zip into the file app…

I’ve learned something today
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 :)
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 "" before the link I guess
Test “example.\com”
Fuck Google
