Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    .tar.xz

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (4 children)

    xz is quite slow though

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    There's several levels you can use to trade off additional space for requiring more processing power. That being said, I hate xz and it still feels slow AF every time I use it.

    It starting 0.5 seconds slower than usual saved us all a bit of a headache as it turns out.

    I hate 7z, it's slow (at least for me) and for some reason I often have problems with these files

    tar c file | pxz > file.tar.xz

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

    pixz is in "extra" repo in arch. Same as pigz.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Same algo as in 7z

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

    I had no idea about that!

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah, it's similar enough to tar.gz to always confuse me.

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (3 children)

    wait until you learn about .tar.lz

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

    Tar lzma nuts, amirite?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

    Good for image backups, after zeroing empty space.
