SuperRecording ( @SuperRecording@kbin.social ) 5•1 year agotar just wraps, doesn’t compress. so more accurate would be the pillows in a looser bag that doesn’t squish them even a little :)
Semmelstulle ( @Semmelstulle@kbin.social ) 4•1 year agoI do NOT understand how zip is still the default. I use .tgz wherever I can.
DeGandalf ( @DeGandalf@kbin.social ) 10•1 year agoBecause 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.
Pantherina ( @Pantherina@feddit.de ) 2•1 year agoLzo or lzma is best for compression. Also depends on the compression rate. KDE Ark is awesome
CreativeTensors ( @CreativeTensors@beehaw.org ) 4•1 year agoCompatibility with literally anything under the sun that can decompress a compressed file.
Semmelstulle ( @Semmelstulle@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoBut isn’t that’s given with tgz too?
Except of course Windows iirc duncesplayed ( @duncesplayed@lemmy.one ) 1•1 year agoWindows, Android, iOS do not open them by default.
Semmelstulle ( @Semmelstulle@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoYou 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…
