minus-squarecaseyweedermanlinkfedilink4•1 year agoThat’s not going to stop me from getting confused every time I try!
minus-square@zaphod@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilink18•1 year agoYou don’t need the v, it just means verbose and lists the extracted files.
minus-square@jj4211@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•1 year agoYou don’t need the z, it auto detects the compression
minus-squareEpheralinkfedilink6•1 year agoYeah, I just tell our Linux newbies tar xf, as in “extract file”, and that seems to stick perfectly well.
minus-square@jj4211@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink7•1 year agoPer https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/, it’s been the case since 2004, so for about 19 and a half years…

minus-squareBilleghlinkfedilink6•1 year agoRight, but you have no way of telling what version of tar that bomb is running

minus-square@Waffelson@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•1 year agoThe Fish shell shows me just the past command with tar So I don’t need to remember strange flags
minus-square@naught@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink4•1 year agoI use zsh and love the fish autocomplete so I use this: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions Also have fzf for ctrl + r to fuzzy find previous commands. I believe it comes with oh-my-zsh, just has to be enabled in plugins and itjustworks™
minus-squareCaptainBasculinlinkfedilink8•1 year agoman tar you never said I can’t run a command before it.
minus-square@marcos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink6•1 year agoThat’s yet another great joke that GNU ruined.
minus-squareJoYolinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agowithout looking, what’s the flag to push over ssh with compression

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…
